Visiting Artist: Claire Fontaine
1:00PM - 2:30PM
Alfond Auditorium
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective artist, founded in 2004. After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a "readymade artist" and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people's work. Working in neon, video, sculpture, painting and text, her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seem to define contemporary art today. But if the artist herself is the subjective equivalent of a urinal or a Brillo box — as displaced, deprived of its use value, and exchangeable as the products she makes — there is always the possibility of what she calls the "human strike." Claire Fontaine uses her freshness and youth to make herself a whatever-singularity and an existential terrorist in search of subjective emancipation. She grows up among the ruins of the notion of authorship, experimenting with collective protocols of production, détournements, and the production of various devices for the sharing of intellectual and private property.
Fontaine's work is currently on view in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art at the MFA.
Sponsored by the Deborah and Martin Hale Visiting Artists Fund.

Visiting Artist: William Powhida
12:30PM - 1:30PM
Alfond Auditorium
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Reflecting his background as an art critic, the work of William Powhida displays a concentrated fascination with the politics of access and the powers that control the assignment of value in the art world. He frequently uses an alter ego (also named William Powhida) to enact the worst excesses of this world – and, by implication, of broader, consumer-driven culture. This fictional Powhida exhibits many of the worst traits imaginable in any coddled enfant-terrible art star. In his revealing, mocking, and often hilarious drawings, Powhida depicts his take on the machinations of the art world; he has also recently expanded his practice to include performance and video
Students only: Visiting Artist: Carla Herrera-Prats
12:30PM - 1:30PM
This event is for the SMFA community only.
Through archival research Carla Herrera-Prats' work comments on the cultural and economic transactions that flow, often invisibly, in the context of a transnational world. Her projects juxtapose photography and material from different sources questioning the documentary value of both images and text. Herrera-Prats was co-director of the gallery Acceso A in Mexico City. She has shown her individual work in venues such as Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros, Centro de la Imagen, Museo Dolores Olmedo, Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City; Darb, Egypt; Centre Vu, Canada; Artists Space, Art in General and the Contemporary Museum of Baltimore.
Herrera-Prats is co-founder of Camel Collective, a group of artists, writers and film makers with whom she has worked since 2005. She has recently taught at the Cooper Union, the California Institute of the Arts, the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University and currently teaches at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She also directs the international six weeks summer program scheduled yearly in Mexico City, SOMA Summer. Herrera-Prats received her BFA at La Esmeralda, in Mexico City and her MFA in Photography at CalArts, Los Angeles. She has been a participant at the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York.

Visiting Artist: Dan Peterman
12:30PM - 1:30PM
Alfond Auditorium
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Dan Peterman's work explores the intersection of art and ecology, eschewing didacticism in favor of poetics. He embraces a wide variety of formal and situational strategies, and employs a range of materials including recycled plastic and metals, as well as organic and post consumer waste. Peterman's art simultaneously reveals the human capacity for ingenious problem solving, indifference toward others and the environment, and tragic hubris and greed. His projects have included a sod covered VW bus doubling as a traveling homeless shelter, collections of discarded objects retrieved from abandoned buildings and presented in vitrines that parody archeological practices, and paving stones and shelving units fashioned from reconstituted industrial products.
