| Visual Arts Center - UT March 30, 8 pm Visual Arts Center Runs nightly through May 12 Fade In: John Baldessari, Teaching a Plant the Alphabet, 1972 For this edition of Fade In, the VAC presents John Baldessari's early seventies video, Teaching a Plant the Alphabet. Created as an exercise in futility, Teaching a Plant the Alphabet is an absurdist lesson in cognition and recognition. Known for creating the illogic from a logical construct, making nonsense from sense, this tape documents Baldessari's response to Joseph Beuys's influential performance, How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare. Baldessari's approach here is characteristically subtle and ironic, involving ordinary objects and a seemingly banal task. Justin Boyd: Dubforms |
