Violence and Art, Ways of Approach
Presentations and panel discussion with Amy Mooney, Geoff Bradfield and Larry Lee
To suggest that art has the capacity to disturb, amuse, comfort, send us to sleep and make us think is almost too easy to say and for some easy to dismiss but as soon as violence and art are mentioned it seems to change the perception, idea and value of what is at stake. An urgent panic sets in; are we not bombarded with mass media images, hard core sounds that report and deliver violent occurrences all the time producing a constant need to censor and resist their effect, a situation where for teachers, the complexity and stress of this cacophony makes the classroom an even more demanding site as the need for their guidance and wisdom increases.
Yet approaching the question of violence from different angles in relation to language, history, art, or more accurately arts (there is not just one art or one history) offers a potential for thinking different kinds of violence with different ways of understanding arts and the worlds they arise from, with and sometimes against. We are excited to have Columbia faculty members Amy Mooney, Geoff Bradfield and guest lecturer Larry Lee present and discuss a variety of approaches to this complex topic from the perspective of art history and its methods, to the history and language of jazz, to the form and effects of animation in popular culture and contemporary art.
