Simultaneous Lectures on Feb. 24
7 p.m. at Central Library, free
Local cultural experts will simultaneously present short lectures with powerpoint on the topic of art and culture in Indianapolis and its role in the global scheme of things. Yes, these lecturers (in two groups of five) will present at the same time. These two rounds will be followed by a moderated discussion/conversation with the panelists and the audience.
Lecturers: Gautam Rao, Kelli Mirgeaux, Andy Fry, Craig McCormick, Michael Kaufmann, Wil Marquez, Flounder Lee, Anna Landsman, John Clark and Richard McCoy. Moderated by Jim Walker and Michael Runge.
This is part of the IndyTalks series and is the first of Big Car's Made for Each Other events this winter and spring at Central Library in partnership with IMCPL and Know No Stranger.
We'd like this to help start some thought or continue some thought about the role of art now in our city and how that connects with the role of art in the world and how art in our city --and this is broad so it includes architecture, the internet, etc. -- connects us with the rest of the world in physical ways (people visit here, we visit there or move here or there) and in virtual ways via the internet.
Overall, this project relates to Big Car's love of spontaneity, improvisation, audience involvement, collaboration, experimentation and experiencing the joy that comes from creating a big, stressful mess and finding the happy accidents that can only come from that mess.
