February 25, 2016
7pm
{{http://www.jameswsullivan.com, James Sullivan}} is the Altshuler Distinguished Teaching Professor, Professor of Sculpture at the Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University.
Sullivan's sculpture is centered on the body, located in the figurative image itself as well as through objects that construct a more haptic abstraction of bodily forms, spaces and experiences. Much of his recent work has been developed in digital form, using haptic modeling and CAD systems coupled to 3-D printing and prototyping as well as industrial fabrication. He has lectured widely, on sculpture, materiality, the locus of the body in material images, and the meaning of digital approaches to sculpture in relationship to haptic experience and the physical self.
Mitchell is associate professor and director of graduate studies in the department of philosophy at Emory University.
Mitchell's research is focused on Heidegger and Contemporary Continental Philosophy (phenomenology, existentialism, deconstruction). German Romanticism and Idealism and aesthetics and philosophy of literature. His books include:
The Fourfold: Reading the Late Heidegger (Northwestern UP, 2015) Heidegger Among the Sculptors: Body, Space, and the Art of Dwelling (Stanford UP, 2010) Translations
