TrAIN open lecture: Gabriel Orozco: Mobile Work

The TrAIN Open series is a forum for invited speakers to present exhibition, publication, and research projects in the form of lectures, discussions and screenings.

Taking place at fortnightly intervals on Wednesday evenings during the academic term, the series is open to the public, as well as staff and students across the University of the Arts London.

Since its inception leading practitioners have continued to contribute to the series and it has become an opportunity to establish lasting dialogue with those who share an interest in transnational art.

To coincide with the Tate Modern exhibition of the Mexican artist, Gabriel Orozco (Wednesday 19 January-Monday 11 April 2011), Briony Fer will discuss this artist’s work and debate key issues around the themes of the transnational with Oriana Baddeley.

Briony Fer is Professor of History of Art at University College London. She has published extensively on 20th century and contemporary art. Key publications include her books; On Abstract Art (2000), and The Infinite Line (2004), both published by Yale University Press. She has written on many contemporary artists, including Gabriel Orozco, Roni Horn, Vija Celmins, Ed Ruscha, Rachel Whiteread, and David Batchelor. Much of her research has focused on the work of the American sculptor Eva Hesse, writing for the 2002 retrospective of the artist, curated by Elisabeth Sussman, at SFMOMA in 2002.

Professor Oriana Baddeley is Deputy Director of TrAIN and Associate Dean of Research for CCW.
