Nikos Stangos Memorial Lecture
This lecture has been established in memory of Nikos Stangos who was one of the directors and senior commissioning editors for Thames and Hudson publishers. He was probably the most important art editor of the late 20th century and was responsible for facilitating some of the most ground breaking art books of our generation. Nikos was a published poet and started his career in London as a poetry editor for Penguin. He was a philosophy graduate from Harvard and collector and commentator on contemporary art. He died in 2003.
UCL History of Art Department is pleased to announce the next Nikos Stangos Memorial Lecture:
25 April 2012
Professor Susan Buck-Morss
Seeing Global
6.00pm Darwin Lecture Theatre, UCL, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT.
Followed by a reception in Wilkins Lower Refectory
We hold the world in our hands today, but only virtually. Modernity’s hoped-for Family of Man remains a body in pieces. The creative forces of the present explode the structures of history, scattering fragments of the past into unanticipated locations. The fragments have multiple affinities that cannot be known beforehand. Their juxtaposition produces unforeseen constellations, providing new readings of the past as a way of charting a different future. The talk will provide exemplary constellations of a global transformation in collective imagination, including recent practices and histories of art.
