Professor of Art and Chair of the Division of Art at the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University, Michael Corris is an artist and writer on art. During the 1970s, he was part of Art & Language, the seminal conceptual-art collective. Alongside Mel Ramsden, Joseph Kosuth, and Sarah Charlesworth, he was a founding editor of The Fox, which addressed the theoretical, political, and social contexts of contemporary artistic practice. Corris currently focuses and writes on the critical and aesthetic issues yielded by the more innovative and enduring practices of conceptual art: a cluster of explicitly dialogical practices enabled by conversation, artist-spectator interaction, and social intervention. Recent publications (as author or editor) include Conceptual Art: Theory, Myth and Practice (2004), Ad Reinhardt (2008), and, coauthored with John Dixon Hunt and David Lomas, Art, Word and Image: 1,000 Years of Visual/Textual Interaction (2009). http://blurting-in.zkm.de/e/another_look Lecture held at the San Francisco Art Institute's lecture hall located at 800 Chestnut Street.
