Visiting Artist Lecture Series, the Department of Visual Art presents Shaun Leonardo, October 3, 2018 at the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

Shaun Leonardo’s performance practice is participatory in nature and invested in a process of embodiment, promoting the political potential of attention and discomfort as a means to disrupt meaning and shift perspective. His recent commission for the Guggenheim Museum, Primitive Games, exemplifies this practice. This body of work is the pillar for his conversation with Christina Yang, Director of Public Programs at the Guggenheim Museum. Together, Shaun and Christina will navigate a discussion around the motivations and process of actualizing a performance as dynamic and challenging as Primitive Games and what it means for artists and museums to sustain a social practice. Supported in part by the Brown Arts Initiative.
