UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN INDIANA EVENTS
Judy Chicago
An Internationally Recognized Artist
Will Speak at the University of Southern Indiana
Monday, September 13th at 7:30 in Carter Hall
Judy will speak on her iconic Dinner Party installation and other works
The Dinner Party is in every survey of art textbook, nearly every contemporary art theory and criticism text, and is the touchstone for discussions in multiple disciplines. An exhibition on the Dinner Party will open at the Evansville Museum of Arts, Science and History on September 12th through November 28th. Judy is curtailing her public speaking in order to devote herself to her art. I doubt there will be many opportunities to hear her in the future and certainly not in our area. Books by and about Judy Chicago will be available for purchase and she will sign copies after her talk. I want to thank the Art Department, the University Core Curriculum, and the Evansville Museum of Arts, Science and History for joining together to bring one of America’s most preeminent artists. I encourage you to build this lecture into your syllabi and bring your students to the talk.
