Off Campus: Catherine Sullivan Talk at BU

Tuesday March 26, 7:30-9pm  – 808 Commonwealth Ave. 02446    *Room 346*

Sponsored by Boston University’s MFA program in Sculpture and Harvard University’s Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, Chicago based artist, Catherine Sullivan, will give a lecture on her work. 

Born in 1968 in Los Angeles, Catherine Sullivan creates ensemble work in film, theater and visual art. She is concerned with the ways in which history is projected through the body, and questions of redress in American social life. Performers in her works cope with written texts, stylistic economies, re-enactments of historic performances, gestural and choreographic regimes, and conceptual orthodoxies. Art 21 Video
