The work of Vito Acconci has consistently exemplified the idea that art is “the place where sex, politics, commodity and ritual come together.” Acconci emerged as one of the most dynamic forces in American art of the ‘70s, and he has worked in many mediums. Over two evenings, he will show selections from his films and videotapes (performing with them) and discuss aspects of architecture relating to his work.
