Contemporary art lecture presented Feb. 12 at Appalachian

View larger image
Posted Feb. 4, 2015 at 5:39 p.m.

BOONE—The Smith Gallery at Appalachian State University will present a lecture on contemporary art by Dr. Cary Levine Thursday, Feb. 12.

Levine’s presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Belk Library and Information Commons Room 114. He will present a discussion on artists innovating with technology in his lecture, “Net Works: Jodi and the Early Days of Internet and Game Mods.” The event is free and open to the public.

Levine is an associate professor of contemporary art history at UNC Chapel Hill. He currently is researching and writing about the ways artists intersect with digital technologies.

In his talk, Levine will discuss the pioneering work of Jodi, an art collective that uses Internet, video games and other digital technologies as its medium. Such work explores the intertwined relationships between art and technology, along with the implicit and explicit politics of each. Representing some of the earliest meditations on a rapidly shifting culture, Jodi’s interventions have broad implications for art discourse and for a contemporary society increasingly dependent upon “the digital.”

Levine received his Ph.D. from the Graduate Center at City University of New York. He is a recipient of a J. Paul Getty Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. His recent book, “Pay for Your Pleasures: Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Raymond Pettibon” (University of Chicago Press, 2013), examines the work of three important Southern California artists.

In addition to his scholarship and teaching, Levine has been an art critic, writing for magazines such as Art in America and BOMB. He has published numerous essays for exhibition catalogues and also worked for three years in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
