Maud Lavin @ Gallery 400 Lecture Room
Tuesday Mar 3rd, 2009
Voices Lecture: Maud Lavin
Art Historian, Chicago
5pm
Gallery 400 Lecture Room
Lavin has published essays and writing on a wide range of subjects,
including Hannah Hoch's Weimar-era photocollages; the role of graphic
design in shaping the public sphere, -particularly democracy and social
issues; and, most recently, being middle-aged. This lecture, a discussion
of women's need for aggression along with the effects of its
manifestation and representation, is part of the ongoing work on her next
MIT Press publication, Women, Aggression, Images. In describing the
project, Lavin suggests that the subject of female aggression is a way to
open a discourse on numerous "delicious, fascinating, crucial, powerful,
lustful issues."
