Parsons (free) Art Lectures, Wednesdays at 3:15

Some Wednesdays at 3:15, Parsons hosts free art lectures in the Swayduck Auditorium (1st floor of the 5th avenue and 14th st. building, immediately on your left when you enter). Tomorrow's lecture is about 15 female artists who radically impacted the contemporary art scene and about whom a book was recently published. There are other lectures on Nov. 7th, Nov. 14th and Dec. 5th, descriptions of which I've listed below. The document I cite also has information on other art lectures hosted by Parsons.

TOMORROW
"Parsons The New School for Design presents a panel discussion with the co-authors of the new publication After the
Revolution: Women Who Transformed Contemporary Art, which charts the rise of women artists since the advent of the
feminist movement, from Marina Abramowicz to Nancy Spero. The four co-authors and panelists are Eleanor Heartney,
author of Critical Condition: American Culture at the Crossroads and Movements in Modern Art: Postmodernism; Helaine
Posner, organizer of many exhibitions and author of Kiki Smith; Nancy Princenthal, contributing editor to Art in America and
member of the faculties of Bard College and New York University; and Sue Scott, a curator whose articles have appeared in
ArtNews, Art Papers, and Art and Antiques."
