Talking With Your Mouth Full: New Language For Socially Engaged Art

In conjunction with threewalls 2008 symposium Talking... features essays by Lori Waxman, Claire Pentecost and Carrie Lambert-Beatty.

The more art slides between convention and social action, sculpture and public performance, art and the everyday, the more complicated it becomes to talk about. As socially engaged art rides the boundaries of multiple subjects simultaneously, historians, critics and other artists must develop multifaceted responses. To discuss projects that include a broad and unfolding web of topics such as art, ecology, racial politics, and gender is to speak in many voices all at the same time. The aim of this symposium is to add to the critical language that frames these projects so they can be discussed in a more refined and poignant way.
