Douglas Kahn: Wed. October 24, 4:30pm, Miller Hall 138
In “Conceptualism and Energy,” Kahn will explore the use of energies as artistic raw materials and sites of practice. Since the 1960s, numerous artists and musicians have understood energies as artistic raw material and sites of practice, a trend that has increased in the present environment of ubiquitous transmissions, energy politics and new materialisms. In understanding these activities, an empty room is one of the first places to look. Kahn is a Professor and Australian Research Fellow at the National Institute for Experimental Arts, University of New South Wales. He is the author of Noise Water Meat: A History of Sound in the Arts and Earth Sound Earth Signal: Energies and Earth Magnitude in the Arts. douglaskahn.com
