Ron Athey - Fine Arts Visiting Artist Lecture Series (VALS)
The undergraduate and graduate Fine Art departments will host Ron Athey for a special artist lecture and Q&A on Tuesday, April 1, 11:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m., in the Forum.
Ron Athey has been working at the vanguard of performance art for 25 years. Self-taught, his work developed out of post-punk/pre-goth scenes and begins with Premature Ejaculation (PE), an early 1980s collaboration with Rozz Williams. Their approach to performance art was informed by the club actions of Johanna Went and the formulation of Industrial Culture, the idea of psycho/neuro acoustics in sound performance. In the 1990s, Athey formed a company of performers and made Torture Trilogy, a series of works that addressed the AIDS pandemic directly through memorializing and philosophical reflection.
