EXILE presents… Talk & Book Release: Gay Anarchy in the Crucible of McCarthyism
Thursday, June 7th, 2007| 2007/06/12 | ||
| 19:00 | to | 21:00 |
Allan Antliff will discuss the politics of being gay during the 1950s, and how anarchists created art keyed to a libertarian sensibility decidedly at odds with the puritanical conformism of that era.
This event is the Ottawa book release of Allan’s new title, “Anarchy and Art” (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2007). He is also the author of “Only a Beginning: An Anarchist Anthology.” Both titles will be available at the event!
Also of note, Allan holds the Canada Research Chair in Art History at the University of Victoria. His course subjects include: “20th-Century Anarchism and Avant-Garde Art�; “New York Dada�; and “American Modernism Between the Wars�. In addition to teaching art history he is an art critic, curator, and art editor for Anarchist Studies.
When? TUESDAY, JUNE 12th @ 7PM sharp!
Where? OTTAWA PUBLIC LIBRARY
