ICA: Spiegel Symposium 2005: Resistance

Resistance

SPIEGEL SYMPOSIUM 2005
March 17-18, 2005

Labeled "anti-form" or "scatter art," Barry Le Va's aggressive, room-scale installations of felt and glass challenged viewers of the late-sixties and seventies. This symposium explores themes of "resistance" in the culture and politics of the period, from Vietnam protest to punk and the furthest reaches of contemporary art, music and literature. "Resistance," the first annual Spiegel Symposium, is being jointly organized by ICA and Penn's departments of architecture, cinema studies, fine art and history of art.

Barry Le Va, 12-3 Ends Touch-Ends Cut, (Zig Zag/End Over End), 1973; wood rods cut. Bykert Installation 7/73. 40' x 80'.

About the Spiegel Symposium

The Emily and Jerry Spiegel Fund to Support Contemporary Culture and Visual Arts has been created to support an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to education that will enhance collaboration at the University of Pennsylvania among its academic departments and cultural institutions. At the heart of the Spiegel Fund's program is the annual Spiegel Symposium organized in conjunction with an exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Each Spiegel Symposium will be designed to raise the level of conversation among Penn's students and faculty about art- particularly art that crosses disciplinary and cultural boundaries. The Spiegel Fund is administered by the University's Provost's Office.

Accumulated Vision, Barry Le Va
