Ivy Cooper Kicks Ass
You knew this already, surely, as Ivy Cooper was celebrated among St. Louis' Ass-Kicking'est citizens last fall. She's also a frequent speaker at the Contemporary Art Museum, we learn, thanks to a marvelously colorful flyer snagged from some wall, somewhere or another.
Perhaps you went to the recent Great Rivers Biennial opening and inadvertent fashion show. Maybe you're heading down to Washington and Spring tonight, to hear Randall Roberts spin and to gaze at the Wash U. student-built rotating dance floor. Or, perhaps, you'd be interested in this:
Lunch & Learn Series: The Role of the Critic
Wednesday, February 8, 2006, noon-1 p.m.
Ivy Cooper, Chair of the Art History department at SIUE, former Visiting Critic fo the Contemporary's Visiting Critics and Curators sereis, and Art Critic for the Riverfront Times, will discuss the role of the critic in raising the visibility of emerging artist. Chef Cary McDowell will prepare a market fresh buffet lunch which will be available from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Call Kristi at 314-655-5491 to make a reservation.
The talk will be limited to an hour. If you want to linger, or come in early and tour the museum, we'll have free docent tours of the Great Biennial 2006 exhibitions at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Cost is not mentioned on this artfully-executed flyer. Our best guess, then, is that lunch and lecture will about $2,000.
