ICA Miami welcomes Austrian sociologist Ulf Wuggenig for a special presentation and practice-oriented workshop on the sociological approach to painting. Topics covered include French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s lectures on Édouard Manet, the rules governing the art field, and the works of ICA artist John Miller. The presentation will take place on Friday, April 1 at 7pm, followed by an intimate, interactive workshop that will further explore previously discussed concepts on Saturday, April 2 at 2pm. Both events will be held at ICA Miami, located in the landmark Moore Building in the Miami Design District.
Ulf Wuggenig is a Professor of Sociology of Art and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany. He is the Director of Kunstraum at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, an exhibition space for contemporary art co-founded with Beatrice von Bismarck and Diethelm Stoller. At the Kunstraum, Wuggenig oversaw seminal exhibitions including Services (1994), initiated by Andrea Fraser and Helmut Draxler; Import/Export Funk Office (1996/97) by Renée Green; and The Open Public Library (1993/94) by Clegg & Guttmann.
