Events

As the 100th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Beuys nears its final days, we present an evening devoted to the question of Beuys and the universal—the “everyone” in Beuys’s famous and endlessly debated claim that “everyone is an artist.” 
 

Emilio Fantin will be screening video footage from performances made in collaboration with the Casa dei Risvegli, a branch of Bologna's Bellariva Hospital dedicated to the recovery of patients emerging from deep-state coma, and survivors of deep-state coma.  Fantin will be in conversation with Milan-based art historian and curator Gabi Scardi and artist Katherine Desjardins from the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago.

Please join us for a special Sidebar conversation with artists Devin T. Mays and Caroline Kent in conversation with UChicago Professor Theaster Gates and the Gray Center's Zachary Cahill.
