Mistaken Identities: On the Road with
Nikki S. Lee
Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 6:00pm
Doheny Memorial Library, Room 240
University of Southern California
Join us for an evening with Nikki S. Lee, an internationally acclaimed Korean-born photographer and video artist. Lee has had solo exhibitions at major institutions, including the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco. Her work has appeared in numerous magazines, newspapers and journals, including Artforum, Art in America and the New York Times. She is best known for her Projects series, in which she assimilates unexpectedly into social and ethnic groups across the United States - Puerto Ricans in the Bronx, working-class whites in Ohio, senior citizens, hip hop fans and others. At USC, Lee will screen clips of her quasi documentary a.k.a. Nikki S. Lee (2006) and engage in a conversation about her work with Richard Meyer, Associate Professor of Art History at USC and Karen Higa, curator and USC College Doctoral Fellow in Art History.
Refreshments / hors d’ouevres provided
Organized by Richard Meyer (Art History), David Román (English and American Studies & Ethnicity) and Emily Hobson (American Studies & Ethnicity).
