Visual Arts @ SME 406


As the first artist-in-residence at the DCP from November to March, Ph.D. candidate Tim Ridlen presented his work-in-progress on the Artist's Field Library. Question the interrelation of art and knowledge production within the university system by taking up themes implicit in Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1996 film The Hawks and the Sparrows, Ridlen's residency culminated in the first three video essays performed live as a lecture in the SME Visual Arts Presentation Lab.

Parking Lot Park

Reception and catalogue release for Parking Lot Park, a sound promenade and drive-in theatre in Marian Bear Memorial Park created by MFA alumnus Kate Clark and Music Ph.D. Sam Dunscombe. Consisting of maps, concepts, and related ephemera, the catalogue publication features an essay by Ph.D. candidate Melinda Guillen which draws connections between the project and the recent work of writer/activist Lucy Lippard. The publication launch included a screening of Clark and Dunscombe’s film Parking Lot Park: Seven Stories of San Clemente Canyon (2014).
