Cecelia Condit
August 30 – October 27, 2024
Artist Lecture | Monday, September 30
5:30pm | A+A Building, room 109
Since 1981, Condit’s videos have created heroines whose lives swing between beauty and the grotesque, innocence and cruelty, youth and fragility. Her work puts a subversive spin on the traditional mythology of women in film and the psychology of sexuality and violence. Exploring the dark side of female subjectivity, her “feminist fairy tales” focus on friendships, age, and the natural world.
Condit’s lecture is sponsored by the Denbo Center for Humanities and the Arts as part of their Distinguished Lecture Series.
Regional Globalism in the Tennessee Valley
November 3 – December 4, 2024
Regional Globalism in the Tennessee Valley features speculative design proposals from internationally recognized architects and design research practices, each addressing the theme of regenerative regional futures for the Tennessee Valley. This exhibit presents commissioned projects that respond to the region’s history of large-scale public works initiatives, offering thought-provoking visions that weave together architecture, environment, and society.
Exhibitors include: RVTR + POST (Ann Arbor/El Paso), The Open Workshop (San Francisco), and Smout Allen (London)
This exhibition was organized by the University of Tennessee College of Architecture + Design and curated by Assistant Professor Micah Rutenberg.
