Art Lecture Series | Stephanie Syjuco
Stephanie Syjuco Lecture
Wednesday, November 20, 7 PM
Danforth Lecture Hall, Mills College
Stephanie Syjuco creates large-scale spectacles of collected cultural objects, cumulative archives, and temporary vending installations, often with an active public component that invites viewers to directly participate as producers or distributors. Using critical wit and collaborative co-creation, her projects leverage open-source systems, shareware logic, and flows of capital, in order to investigate issues of economies and empire. This has included starting a global collaborative project with crochet crafters to counterfeit high-end consumer goods, presenting parasitic art counterfeiting events, and developing alternative vending economies. She is featured in Season 9 of the acclaimed PBS documentary series Art21: Art in the Twenty-First Century. Recent exhibitions include Being: New Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Public Knowledge, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, This Site is Under Revolution at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and Disrupting Craft: the 2018 Renwick Invitational at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. She lives and works in Oakland, California.
Organized each year in conjunction with the Studio Art MFA program and the Department of Art and Visual Culture, the Mills College Art Lecture Series allows students and faculty to invite contemporary artists and scholars to campus in order to gain greater perspective on current ideas and practices in the contemporary art world.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
Supported by the Herringer Graduate Lecture Series.
