hey gang,
I'll be presenting The Bomb Project on the panel, "The Nuclear Age and
the Arts," on April 15 as part of this program – also my ex-gallery
mate, Dominic McGill (who's gigantic apocalyptic drawing is in the PS1
show right now):

NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT SYMPOSIUM
Friday, April 15
Einstein Auditorium
Department of Art & Art Professions
34 Stuyvesant Street

3:30 PM: Education for Nuclear Disarmament
Facilitator: Monika Szymurska
Guest speakers: John Burroughs, Kathleen Sullivan, Eric Ritz

Six decades after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, humanity
continues to live under the threat of nuclear annihilation. Despite
the efforts to control and abolish these genocidal weapons, the world
faces a growing risk of a cascade of proliferation.
Drawing from their experience as educators and activists, the
panelists will reflect on the importance of promoting education and
awareness in the context of the nuclear age.


6:00 PM: The Nuclear Age and the Arts
Facilitator: Kathleen Sullivan
Guest speakers: Dominic McGill, Ombretta Agro, Joy Garnett, Hiroshi
Sunairi, Nobuho Nagasawa

This panel will explore the ways by which artists may contribute to
define and develop a new critical approach in the context of the
nuclear age, one that is triggered by accessing the visual and
interpretive arts. The panelists invited to speak have explored these
issues from various angles in their work within the arena of
contemporary art and will address the complex links between
contemporary art and the existence of nuclear weapons.
