MIT List Center Hosts Forum on Parody, Politics and Performativity with Sehgal, Bruguera, Fontaine

On Saturday, March 13, at 3 pm, the MIT List Visual Art Center will host the Annual Max Wasserman Forum on Contemporary Art, themed "Parody, Politics and Performativity." This complimentary event includes a panel featuring artists Tino Sehgal, Tania Bruguera, and the collective Claire Fontaine, with writer and curator Jens Hoffmann serving as the moderator. Responses will be provided by Dorothea von Hantelmann, Frazer Ward, and Joan Jonas. The discussion will delve into artistic practices that emphasize viewer interactions and time, differing from traditional art objects, with many contributions playfully critiquing established art forms. The forum will also consider how modern institutions exhibit and collect art, highlighted by Sehgal's performance "This Progress" at the Guggenheim, available until March 10. Responses start at 4:45 pm, and the event is located in Room 123 of the Ray and Maria Stata Center, 32 Vasser Street, Cambridge, MA.
