Celebrated writer, cultural theorist, curator, and art critic Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood will discuss her project, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration, which explores the impact of US incarceration on contemporary visual art. This project highlights artists who have been incarcerated alongside artists whose art examines US institutions and systems of confinement. Based on interviews with currently and formerly incarcerated artists, prison visits, and the author’s own family experiences with the penal system, Marking Time shows how the imprisoned turn ordinary objects into elaborate works of art. |
