Barbara Bickart's Artist Talk on February 22

Lantana Projects, The University of Memphis College of Communication and Fine Arts, and the FedEx Institute of Technology welcome video and interdisciplinary artist Barbara Bickart as our resident artist for spring 2007. The artist will talk about her work, inspirations, and Memphis project at the annual University of Memphis TAP (Technology, Art, Performance) lecture on February 22 at 6:30 pm in room 123 of the Fogelman Executive Center.
The presentation is free and open to the public.

Barbara Bickart's work has been presented at film festivals, theaters and galleries around the world. Her artistic inquiry over the past 15 years has been grounded in issues of power and their relationship to economic, racial, and sexual orientation as well as gender and ethnic differences. The body as a site for these issues has been an integral part of Bickart's query. During her Memphis residency the artist hopes to explore the concept of resistance and its permutations
