Event Details

The University of Chicago’s deputy provost for the arts excavates the deep philosophical history of assemblage.

He is a principal investigator for the Object Cultures Project within the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory, and has been a coeditor of the University of Chicago’s journal of art, culture, and politics, Critical Inquiry.
