On View February 7April 6, 2014 The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts (CCVA) joins Creative Time and Independent Curators International (ICI) to present a customized iteration of Living as Form (The Nomadic Version). Free and open to the public, the exhibition surveys groundbreaking works from around the world that together register one of the most important developments in recent art history: the rise in the last twenty-five years of a renewed sphere of artistic practices that blur the lines between art and everyday life in projects emphasizing political concerns, participation, and forms of dialogue. The CCVAs iteration of Living as Form (The Nomadic Version) will be accompanied by a series of public programs and events, including a Carpenter Center Lecture by curator Nato Thompson on March 27, 2014. The exhibition and all events are free and open to the public.
