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."
