Enchanted Evenings at New Bedford Art Museum

Spaces of Erasure
A lecture produced in conjunction with the exhibition, Under The Sheltering Sky
Wednesday, October 18th
6:00pm - 7:15pm
Nothing seems more obvious today than the change in our environment. When we think of climate change for example we are thinking of global shifts in environments, at all scales and dependent on fractional displacements of atmospheric variables. In all of this one of the first questions that emerges is where is our proper place? What space remains that we can occupy, that provides shelter? And yet, as this lecture will discuss, through a series of historical and political analyses, we are still sorting out the question: what is the difference between the disappearance of space and spaces of erasure?
