This event is part of the series bringing local, national, and international speakers in contemporary art, criticism, and scholarship to the Glassell School of Art.
Throughout her career, interdisciplinary artist and organizer Caroline Woolard has considered myriad questions about the place of art, artists, and institutions in today's society. Making inquries into the nature of the art world and its tenuous existence within our commodity culture, she asks: What art worlds do we want? What is a work of art in the age of $120,000 art degrees? What is another word for artist? 
 
This presentation includes selections from Woolard’s new workshop/performance The Art of Gravity and refers to the past exhibition A Stone Holds Water as well as the cooperative platforms Art.coop, Pollinator.coop, and TradeSchool.coop.
