Spring 2010 Series on the Upper West Side:
Pictures For Books
Professor of Art, Director of Photography Thomas Roma
February 1, 6–7 p.m.
The exhibition highlights the work I've done through four of my eleven published monographs and two self-published limited edition books. My talk will focus on how photographs (and therefore a photographer) participates in the culture given the possibilities of exhibitions, magazines and books and the choices I've made in my career.
What Do You Do With Music?
Professor of Music and Composer Brad Garton
March 1, 6–7 p.m.
Growing up in the pragmatic midwest I learned that value was assigned through function. When I visit back home, I still get questions about the “use” of my music in the world. Technology opens a whole new range of applied possibilities for music (and I’ll discuss some of the projects we’re currently doing at the Computer Music Center, research in medicine, interactivity, cognition, interface design, etc.), but what does the music itself actually do?
The Architecture of the Hidden
Professor of Architecture
Yolande Daniels
April 5, 6–7 p.m.
