SUMMARY:DIVERSE DISCOURSE LECTURE: CLAUDIA LA ROCCO
DESCRIPTION:Criticism is Dead. Long Live Criticism\nA Diverse Discourse Lecture by Claudia La Rocco \nApril 12\, 6:30 pm\, Matchbox 4\nReserve free tickets here \nClaudia La Rocco is the author of The Best Most Useless Dress (Badlands Unlimited)\, selected poetry\, performance texts\, images and criticism\, and the novel petit cadeau\, published by The Chocolate Factory Theater as both a print edition of one and a four-day\, interdisciplinary live edition. She edited I Donʼt Poem: An Anthology of Painters (Off the Park Press) and Dancers\, Buildings and People in the Streets\, the catalogue for Danspace Projectʼs PLATFORM 2015\, which she curated. Her collaborators include the choreographer Michelle Ellsworth\, the performance company Findlay//Sandsmark and the saxophonist/composer Phillip Greenlief\, with whom she is animals & giraffes. A columnist for Artforum\, a contributing editor to Emergency Index (Ugly Duckling Press)\, and writer-in-residence at On the Boards theater\, she is editor-in-chief of SFMOMA’s Open Space. \nAbout this talk\, La Rocco says:\nThe demise of traditional criticism has long been rumored. But of course it continues\, in various fits and starts\, alongside platforms that (need it be said?) make everyone a critic. What now is the role of this tradition of public thinking out loud within current public discourse\, which seems at once ever-more expansive and ever-more diminished (or at least fractured)? Here are a few attempts at answering this very big question (which is actually a series of questions)\, drawing on my years as a writer and editor. These attempts will likely be oblique. They might not work. The elucidation of ideas is\, after all\, a dicey business.  \nABOUT DIVERSE DISCOURSE\nDiverse Discourse brings national curators\, artistic directors\, and critics to Houston to present a free public lecture and conduct studio visits with selected Houston-area artists\, performers\, and writers.  Diverse Discourse provides a significant opportunity for area artists in all disciplines to have their work reviewed by a variety of distinguished arts professionals\, fostering a cultural exchange across the nation between artists and cultural producers. \nSTUDIO VISITS WITH CLAUDIA LA ROCCO\nApplication Deadline: March 20 (online)\nClick here application and more info: https://staging.diverseworks.org/in-the-works/diverse-discourse/studio-visits\nImage\, L to R: Davison Scandrett\, Silas Riener\, Claudia La Rocco and Rashaun Mitchell in Taste\, a site-specific performance and installation by Mitchell and Riener\, in collaboration with La Rocco and Scandrett.
