American Science alum Lukas Rieppel has extended a warm invitation to readers of this blog to visit Brown University for the upcoming Lost Museums
conference from May 6th - May 8th.
The symposium will kick off with an artist's talk by Andrew Yang from
the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by a reception at
RISD's Nature Lab. Then, there will be two days of talks on the theme of
"lost museums" -- which includes the death and deterioration of
museums, the afterlives of collections, and questions about
ephemerality, impermanence, and inauthenticity. In addition to Andrew
Yang, there will also be keynote presentations by Elizabeth Merritt from
the Center for the Future of Museums, as well as noted the installation
artist and photographer Rosamond Purcell.
Registration (free!) is encouraged, but not required. (We're also told that nobody will be
checking tickets, so feel free to attend even if you don't manage to
register.)
