Free Symposium: The Revolutionaries

RDT presents a FREE symposium:

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 @ 7:00 PM
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center
138 W. Broadway, SLC

RDT invites you to join with scholars to discuss the revolutionary concepts and controversial art movements that expanded the frontiers of awareness, challenged the status quo, eliminated traditional artistic vision and virtuosity and changed the historic notion of what an artist did. 

Other topics include:

• anti-war politics
• controversial methods of production
• choreography using pedestrian movement
• untraditional musical instruments in orchestration
• the acceptance of commons objects as subject matter in painting and sculpture
• writing that embraces vernacular language and events that are taken from everyday life

This program has received funding from the Utah Humanities Council. The Utah Humanities Council promotes understanding of human traditions, values, and issues through informed public discussion.
