SFAI Art Criticism Conference: Molly Nesbit, Keynote Speaker
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, SFAI’s Art Criticism Conference acquaints participants with the contemporary practice of writing about art in its many poetic and professional functions, as well as with art-historical practice. This year’s keynote speaker, Molly Nesbit, is a Professor of Art History at Vassar College and a contributing editor of Artforum. Nesbit's books include "Atget’s Seven Albums" (Yale University Press, 1992) and "Their Common Sense" (Black Dog, 2000). "Midnight, the Tempest Essays," a collection of her essays on contemporary art, will be published this year by Periscope Press. Since 2002, together with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rirkrit Tiravanija, she has been organizing Utopia Station, an ongoing book, exhibition, seminar, website, and street project. The 2011 Art Criticism Conference is coordinated by Mark Van Proyen, art critic and Associate Professor in SFAI’s Painting Department.
