Filmed October 3 at The Dallas Contemporary
NEXT TOPIC: “The Art of ‘Social Practice’- A Conversation” @ dcU
Panelists: Janeil Engelstad, Vicki Meek and Rick Lowe
Moderator:Greg Metz
Modern society and technology have made it very easy for the average individual to experience art passively without careful contemplation or necessary productive reaction. Many have combated this by developing artwork that aims to inspire more active social engagement. During the month of October Dallas will premiere the work of three renowned ‘Social Practice’ artists: Janeil Engelstad, founder of the ‘MAP’ project, and two ‘Nasher Xchange’ Artists Vicki Meek, independent curator and cultural critic, and Rick Lowe, creator of the widely successful ‘Project Row Houses’. CentralTrak brings these artists together for one night only, through the gracious hosts of The Dallas Contemporary (dcU), for a panel discussion that promises to be both lively and informative.
