Leo Steinberg was a kind of godfather at both my alma maters. Although I just missed being able to hear his lectures at the University of Texas, I marveled at the collection of 15th-through-20th-century prints he donated at the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art. At the School of Visual Arts, where I did my graduate work in art criticism, students would occasionally be invited to his home. Again, I arrived a year too late to participate in those quorums, but his writings were crucial to the curriculum there. In the summer of 2012, SVA inherited part of Steinberg’s library. Looking at the marginalia and annotated bookmarks, one could glean something of his character. (continue reading on artcritical.com)
And now, at the New York Studio School, another facet of this iconoclastic historian’s intellectual life is revealed, in his drawings. “The Eye is Part of the Mind” runs through March 9.

Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz
Thursday, February 14, 2013, 7 pm
A conversation between Cynthia Carr and Lynne Tillman about Carr’s acclaimed biography and cultural history, Fire in the Belly. Novelist, short story writer, and critic Lynne Tillman says: “Fire in the Belly is a richly researched, thorough investigation of David Wojnarowicz’s life and times. It is also a cultural memoir, a history of an important subculture during the devastating AIDS years in New York City. Carr’s intimate knowledge of the period makes her fascinating, beautifully written narrative not only exceptional, but also groundbreaking.”

A Panel discussion moderated by Anthony Huberman & Daniel Bozhkov
With Nicolas Bourriaud, Simon Critchley & David Levi Strauss
This panel brings together several prominent critics and educators for a discussion. How do current artistic, curatorial and educational models re-examine the ways art and education could function together? Have the conditions that once allowed for risk and experimentation within the temporary autonomous zone of the educational institution been changed? What does risk look like now? How can thinkers, artists and curators create these conditions in and outside the institution? The conversation will expand upon the existing structures, the utopian models, and the actual possibilities. Our hope is to touch upon the broader issues of how art can or should be taught, and what the artist can teach given the conditions of the world today.

“Harold Rosenberg and the Twilight of the Intellectuals”
SVA Theatre, 333 West 23rd street, NYC
Independent writer and curator Debra Bricker Balken will discuss some of the ways in which Harold Rosenberg’s key essay, “The American Action Painters,” both galvanized and polarized mid-century American artists and critics. Her talk will address, in particular, Rosenberg’s fallout with writers such as Clement Greenberg and Hilton Kramer, as well as a new generation of formalist thinkers who emerged in the 1960s.

“The Genius of the System.”
Photography is unlike other arts in at least one respect: it is seldom entirely within the control of the artist, and almost always represents a collaboration with chance. This keeps the meaning of the photograph in flux; it is changed by successive generations of viewers. Photography is a broad continuum of which self-consciously artistic expression occupies only a small portion, but across which artistic realization can potentially be found at any point at any time.

“Beauty and the Pact of Aliveness”
Elaine Scarry is the Cabot Professor of Aesthetics at Harvard University and is the author of The Body in Pain, On Beauty and Being Just, and Thinking in an Emergency. The lecture argues that beauty is a call to social justice. It draws on artists and philosophers from Plato to the present to show three different ways in which beauty presses us to repair the injuries of the world.
