Gonzalez-Torres transforms the everyday objects in minimalist language into artworks that are of great aesthetical value and critical of realities, like poems with a profound meaning. In this talk, three speakers will interpret “gifts” in artworks from the perspectives of aesthetics, philosophy and politics.
Professor Ute Meta Bauer, together with the curators, Larys Frogier and Li Qi, will look into the background of the works of Gonzalez-Torres and the social contexts in the U.S. between the 1980s and 1990s, to unravel new possibilities for the interpretation of his artworks.
The curators Larys Frogier and Li Qi will reveal the ideas behind the exhibition by illustrating how they created the concepts of the exhibition, and share with the audience an innovative interpretation of the artworks of Gonzalez-Torres, and an evaluation of his works from the perspective of art history.
Once upon a time, there was a big fish named Jack, who made many lovely friends and had a lot of interesting experiences during his travel around the world. He has many different gifts from his friends to be shared with you. How can we welcome this mysterious friend and invite him to play with us? In this workshop, the artists will help you to make a beautiful flying carpet, and create art works as your gifts to Jack based on your own stories using new materials.
Drawing on RAM’s unique spaces and excellent exhibition programs, Live@RAM is dedicated to artists active at the forefront of performative practices – practices involving the use of body, which may otherwise be known as contemporary dance, performance art, sound art, new media, experimental music/theatre, or inter-disciplinary projects, under different circumstances.
With “More Than a Guided Tour” series at RAM, we invite scholars, critics, curators, and media professionals to share with the audience their unique perspectives into our exhibition on view while literally walking you through it before a sit-down session of themed talk and discussion.
Zhao Chuan, an art critic who is also actively involved in theatre arts, and Christopher Connery, Professor of the University of California and a cultural studies scholar, will look into the life and art of Felix Gonzalez-Torres during the end of the last century, and explore the traces of the vanished body present in his artworks.
