High
Times, Hard Times: New York Painting 1967-1975 Public Programs Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 6:30 - 8:00 pm Admission: $8, free for all students, New School faculty, staff, and alumni with valid ID; as well as members of iCI, the National Academy Museum, and National Academicians A panel discussion on issues of politics, race, and feminism in the art world as they emerged during the mid-’60s when, influenced by social change and the burning political issues of the day, artists such as Jo Baer, Lynda Benglis, Mary Heilmann, Yayoi Kusama, Lee Lozano, Howardena Pindell, Alan Shields, and Richard Tuttle created works of great joy, passion, fury, and imagination, expanding conventional concepts of what “painting” could mean. The panel will also look at the repercussions today of that historical moment of exuberance forty years ago, when painting escaped the confines of a prescriptive modernism. Panel discussion is organized by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, iCI, and the National Academy Museum. Moderator: Panelists: Robert Pincus-Witten is an art historian, critic, and professor emeritus at Queens College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York. An anthology of his essays, Postminimalism (1977), came to name a new style of art; other collections of his essays are Entries (Maximalism) (1983) and Eye to Eye, Twenty Years of Art Criticism (1984). Howardena Pindell is an artist, curator, writer, and professor at Stony Brook, State University of New York, whose work is currently part of the exhibition High Times, Hard Times: New York Painting 1967-1975. Pindell is also a former curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Recent solo exhibitions of her work include Howardena Pindell at the Tubman Museum in Macon, Georgia, in 2002, and Howardena Pindell: Hidden Stories, which recently closed at the Louisiana Museum of Art and Science in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jack Whitten is an artist whose work is currently in High Times, Hard Times: New York Painting 1967-1975. Whitten grew up in Alabama and moved to New York in 1960 to study at Cooper Union.

Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant.
