511 W 25th StA PUBLIC TALK BY RENOWNED ART CRITIC DAVE HICKEY at CUE Art Foundation with poet William Corbett Friday, December 8, 6:30 pm
"Critics over the course of their careers build up a reputation for being right or being wrong about things; people trust these reputations but not much; if power is defined as the power to make something that is not interesting interesting, critics have no power at all. Art has power." -- Dave Hickey
Admission is FREE. Reservations are required. To RSVP please call 212.206.3583 or email kara.smith@cueartfoundation.org. Please let us know the number of seats and the names of your guests.
Dave Hickey has looked at and written about art and culture for more than forty years; he is one of the most preeminent art critics writing today. He's lectured, been a freelance curator and earned an honoured place in American letters, becoming a MacArthur Fellow (the "genius award") in 2001. The author of two volumes of art criticism: The Invisible Dragon: Four Essays on Beauty (1993), which is in its sixth printing, and Air Guitar, Essays on Art and Democracy (1998), in its third printing, Hickey's writing has appeared in most major American cultural publications including Rolling Stone, ARTnews, Art in America, Artforum, Interview, Harper's, Vanity Fair, Nest, the New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times. In addition, Hickey has been an executive director of Art in America magazine and a contributing editor at The Village Voice. He is currently Professor of Art Theory and Criticism at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada, and contributing editor to Art Issues magazine in Los Angeles.
PS. The night before the talk, Thursday, December 7, from 6 - 8 pm, CUE will open the last two shows of the 2006 year featuring Jack Hallberg, an abstract painter from Las Vegas, curated by Dave Hickey; and Miguel Luciano, a mixed media artist whose work playfully addresses the US's relationship with Puerto Rico, curated by Juan Sanchez. Hope you will join us!
