Join us for Martin Beck’s presentation of Program: An Organized System of Instructions followed by a discussion with Felicity Scott and Mark Wasiuta, Co-Directors of Columbia GSAPP’s Critical, Curatorial, and Conceptual Practices Program. Monday, February 13th, 6:30pm in Wood Auditorium.
Martin Beck will speak about his two-year exhibition project, titled Program, that manifested through a sequence of interventions, installations, events, and displays at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University between 2014 and 2016. Program focused on the institution’s modes, formats, and sites of communication with its various constituencies and drew upon the exhibition histories, academic pursuits, and institutional development of the Carpenter Center during its founding period in the 1960s. Beck’s exhibition pulled that history into the present and then reflected the institution’s aspirations back onto its contemporary self.
