The
Art Department
presents a Bensussen Visiting Artist Lecture on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 7 p.m. with Nancy Buchanan – a Los Angeles-based artist best known for her work in installation, performance, and video art.
About the Speaker:
Nancy Buchanan has been politically outspoken against nuclear war and American international policies and began performing in the 1970s during the first wave of Los Angeles performers. Many of her performances, installations, videos and static image/text works use an element of “serious play” to focus on social issues. Buchanan played a central role in the feminist art movement in Los Angeles in the 1970s, and was a founding member of the feminist art collective Double X.
