Lecture | Emma Mahony
Wednesday 10 September, 6.00 – 7.00pm, Lecture Room, IMMA
Emma Mahony (Associate Lecturer, NCAD), will examine how Oiticica’s practice has been inspired by the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, and more widely how the informal city has been perceived by artists and intellectuals (on the left) as a site of resistance where, as curator Carlos Basualdo notes: original forms of socialization, alternative economies and various forms of aesthetic agency are produced (Carlos Basualdo (2003), On the Expression of the Crisis, in Francesco Bonami (ed.), Dreams and Conflicts: The Dictatorship of the Viewer, Venice: Biennale, p. 243).
