SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Shana Moulton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Shana Moulton (Art) about her recent exhibition at MoMA\, Meta/Physical Therapy. \nThis 2024 exhibition premiered a new site-specific installation. Through performance\, video\, and sculpture\, Moulton chronicled the experiences of her semi-autobiographical alter-ego\, Cynthia\, as she navigated personal choices and physical limitations. Transforming the Kravis Studio into a prismatic environment\, this installation employed the artist’s signature blend of spiritual imagery\, medical technology\, popular culture\, and references to high art and dollar-store kitsch. An extension of Moulton’s Whispering Pines series\, which began in 2002\, the project continued the artist’s incisive examination of the aesthetics of pain and healing and the mass marketing of wellness and explores the maladies of middle age. Presented as a multi-chapter narrative\, the installation was accompanied by a series of performances created in collaboration with composer Nick Hallett\, bringing Cynthia’s inner world to life. \nShana Moulton is a California-born and -based artist who works in video\, performance\, and installation. She holds a BA from UC Berkeley in Art and Anthropology and an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University. Moulton has exhibited her work as a solo artist and in groups at major international museums\, galleries and institutes. She has performed at sites including The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, The Andy Warhol Museum\, Pittsburgh\, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, The Getty\, Los Angeles\, and The Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles. Moulton’s work has been featured in Artforum\, The New York Times\, ArtReview\, Art in America\, Flash Art\, Artpress\, Metropolis M\, BOMB Magazine\, and Frieze. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Idee Levitan Endowment

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Josephine Metcalf
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Josephine Metcalf (University of Hull) and Ben Olguín (English) about their new co-edited volume\, The Life\, Literature and Legacy of Luis J. Rodríguez: In the Long Run. Luis Rodríguez is a prominent Latinx poet\, memoirist and activist renowned for his candid visceral accounts of urban working-class life that includes youth gang violence\, incarceration and drug abuse\, gruelling factory work and union organising activities and collective approaches to redemption and political empowerment\, which have resonated across multiple communities in the United States and abroad. Accordingly\, whilst Rodríguez has been the focus of some critical scholarship\, huge segments of his life\, work and legacy remain unexamined. This anthology has commissioned new and unique critical essays and reflections on Rodríguez’s life and works\, putting forward new ideas about bringing the voices of ‘barrio organic intellectuals’ to the fore. The anthology deliberately includes traditional academics as well as more public intellectuals and creative writers from across Europe and the Americas to reflect Rodriguez’s own diverse outputs as a prisoner author and activist. \nJosephine Metcalf is a Senior Lecturer in American Studies at the University of Hull\, UK. She is the co-founder and co-director of the Cultures of Incarceration Centre and Programme Director for the MA in Incarceration Studies. \nBen Valdez Olguín is the Robert and Liisa Erickson Presidential Chair in English and Director of The Global Latinidades Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment
