Organized by PSU’s Art and Social Practice MFA students in coordination with associate professor Harrell Fletcher, this series includes a wide variety of lecturers including artists, writers, farmers, educators, curators, and administrators whose work in someway relates to the field of art and social practice. PSU’s Art and Social Practice MFA, which is co-directed by Fletcher and Jen Delos Reyes, is constructed as a “flexible residency” so that students can choose to live in or away from Portland during the three year program. This year eight of the nineteen MFA students will be living remotely, and each of them will host a lecture in their own location, which will be broadcast via the internet to Portland. All of the other thirteen lectures will take place at PSU.
The lectures are always free and open to the public.
7:30 PM in Shattuck Hall Annex at the corner of SW Broadway and Hall streets on the PSU campus in Portland, Oregon.
The lecture series is sponsored in part by Dave and Erika Cianciulli, The Platt Family, and Portland Institute for Contemporary Art. Additionally, the Luis Camnitzer lecture is co-sponsored by the OCAC/PNCA MFA in Applied Craft and Design and the Nina Katchadourian lecture is co-sponsoered by The Philip Feldman Gallery at PNCA.
