Join us tomorrow, 24 Apr 2016 at 6pm, at Duplex Gallery (219 NW Couch) for Whiteness as Property and Found Object Art, a remote talk by Eunsong Kim!
In "Whiteness as Property" Cheryl Harris argues that, “White identity and whiteness were sources of privilege and protection; their absence meant being the object of property.” Utilizing Harris's foundational legal paper, Eunsong will focus on a historically contextualized discussion of Marcel Duchamp's 1917 "Fountain" to create and facilitate a conversation around the racialized property relations of found object art then and today. She will present her work, streaming live to the audience.
