William Forsythe Symposium: Choreographic Objects
Wed, April 1, 2009 | 3:00PM EST
You’ll hear about how this idea takes form in the works on view in the exhibition William Forsythe: Transfigurations and in Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, reproduced by William Forsythe, an ambitious new web project created by Forsythe with Ohio State’s Maria Palazzi (Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design and Department of Design) and Norah Zuniga Shaw (Department of Dance) and an interdisciplinary team of collaborators from across the arts and sciences. To celebrate the launch of the web project, invited outside experts contextualize the project in terms of its relevance to current trends in the philosophy of cognition and architecture.
