A Webinar with Kim Levin will take place on July 13 at noon (New York time).
The conversation will be about her latest book Elsewhere – The Tainted Garden and other Essays on Art, Life, and the Anthropocene which was launched by Booklocker Editor, in the U.S. Written between 1991 and 2017, Kim Levin´s essays put the focus on art and issues of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Levin examines the transitional period from the end of postmodernism to the dilemmas of the present. In these 35 essays, many of which appeared only in translation elsewhere, Levin discusses such
relevant ‘ancestors’ as Robert Rauschenberg, Sol LeWitt, Jean Tinguely, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Ana Mendieta, and Mike Kelley as well as newer artists. Linking these essays are the concepts of selective amnesia and creative misunderstanding, plus changes in the nature of time, space, the future, and the meaning of ‘elsewhere’. From the first essay, ‘Art That Makes Itself’ to the last, ‘Everywhere and Nowhere: From the Myth of Progress to the Sixth Extinction’, the undercurrent is an awareness that we exist in the era of the Anthropocene.
The Conversation will also focus on Kim Levin´s historic associations with AICA, and will be moderated by AICA Honorary president Henry Meyric-Hughes and AICA US Co-President Norman Kleeblatt, in presence of Lisbeth Rebollo Gonsalves, AICA International President.
