DESCRIPTION:Harrell Fletcher, Rigo23, and Ken Worthy Discuss "Art in a Dissociated 
 World" October 27\n\nArt in a Dissociated World\nSpeakers: Harrell 
 Fletcher, Rigo23, Ken Worthy\n\nSeries:\nThe New New Masses\nDiscussions 
 About Art and Politics\n\nLocation\nSan Francisco Art Institute Café\n800 
 Chestnut Street\nSan Francisco, CA 94133\n\nOctober 27 at 7:00pm\nfree and 
 open to the public\n\nWe are separated from the things we make. We are 
 separated from the people who make the things we use. We are asked not to 
 look at the world directly. We think this situation is untenable. We must 
 confront reality and not deny the destruction and alienation that surrounds 
 us.\n\nHarrell Fletcher has worked collaboratively and individually on a 
 variety of socially engaged interdisciplinary projects for over a decade. 
 His work has been shown in the Bay Area at SFMOMA, the de Young Museum, 
 Berkeley Art Museum, and Yerba Buena center for the Arts; in New York at 
 the Drawing Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Sculpture Center, the 
 Wrong Gallery, and Smackmellon; Signal, Malmo, Sweden; Domain de 
 Kerguehennec, France; and the Royal College of Art, London. Fletcher is 
 represented by Jack Hanley Gallery, SF/LA; Christine Burgin Gallery, NY; 
 Laura Bartlett gallery, London; and Galerie In Situ, Paris. He was a 
 participant in the 2004 Whitney biennial. In 2002 Fletcher began Learning 
 To Love You More, a participatory web project with Miranda July. He is the 
 2005 recipient of the Alpert Award in Visual Arts. His current exhibition 
 The American War originated in 2005 at ArtPace in San Antonio, TX, and is 
 currently traveling throughout the US. Fletcher is a Professor of Art at 
 Portland State University.\n\nRigo23’s most recent projects include the 
 fifth installation of the nomadic institution, Tate Wikikuwa Museum, at the 
 Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, CT, through February 2007; 
 the caging of the four stone lions guarding the entrance to St. George’s 
 Hall in the Liverpool Biennial 2006; and in 2005, the dedication of a twice 
 life-size sculpture of Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the San Jose State 
 University campus.\n\nKen Worthy is interested in the larger questions 
 concerning the global environmental crisis: Is there anything more 
 fundamental than economics or population? Why are modern modes of 
 human/environment relations destructive on such a large scale? What 
 particular historical, philosophical, and ethical factors contribute to the 
 current crisis? In pursuit of such questions, Worthy has developed a 
 theoretical framework based on the concept of dissociation, which helps to 
 reveal the ways in which the material disconnections of modern life—of 
 people from nature, from the processes of production that they rely upon, 
 and from other people in the larger community—work to proliferate 
 environmental and social harms. Dissociations, he asserts, undermine 
 personal ethics and community politics. His interdisciplinary research in 
 philosophy, anthropology, and psychology sheds light on the conceptual 
 roots of material dissociations. Worthy received a PhD in Critical 
 Environmental Theory at UC Berkeley in 2005.\n
