UW-Stevens Point Department of Art & Design will be all a-“Buzz”
Renowned artist and critical writer Buzz Spector will work with students in the Department of Art & Design at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point March 12-13.
Sponsored by the College of Fine Arts & Communication Great Artists, Great Speakers series, Spector’s visit will include time in art and design classes on both days of his visit as well as a free public lecture at 5 p.m. on Monday, March 12, in Room 221 of the Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage St.
Spector’s work has been shown in such museums and galleries as the Art Institute of Chicago, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. His art makes frequent use of the book as both subject and object and is concerned with relationships between public history, individual memory and perception. Spector is currently dean of the College and Graduate School of Art in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. A video of his art installment, The Humanities Book Art Project, may be found at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QrRlmgump4.
The Great Artists, Great Speakers Endowment supports the series, which helps to enhance student experiences by bringing in noteworthy guests to work with them through lectures, master classes and workshops.
