And Also
About
Artists and designers today are also writing— more often and in more forums than ever before. In this half-day symposium, three editors of artists' and designers' writings and three artists and designers who are also writers offer history, theory, readings, reflection, and speculation around distinct forms of dual practice.
Free. All welcome.
