On January 21st, we will be holding the inaugural event for \u2018My Generation: A Festival of British Art in the 1960s\u2019. This series of exhibitions, events, and accompanying catalogue has been organised to mark the 50<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> anniversary of the University of Kent and to celebrate this rich and inventive period of creativity<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We will be kicking off proceedings with a public lecture, the launch of the catalogue, and a private view for <\/span>Palindrome: The Sixties Art of Brian Rice and Richard Rome. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The itinerary will be as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

16:00 \u2013 18:00<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Public Lecture<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Studio 1, Jarman Building<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Down Tools: Lee Lozano versus the Art World<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Dr Jo Applin, Senior Lecturer (History of Art), University of York\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This lecture will address Lozano’s ten-year long career as an artist working in New York City from 1961 until her final departure from the city–and art world–in 1971. From her earliest drawings of workshop tools to her final decision to down tools and stop working (she went on general strike from art world in 1969) Lozano’s practice circled around questions of work and the refusal of work and it is to this aspect of her work this paper turns.<\/span><\/p>\n

18:00 \u2013 20:00 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Catalogue Launch and Private View <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Jarman Reception and Studio 3 Gallery, Jarman Building<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Following the lecture, we will host a reception to launch the accompanying catalogue for <\/span>My Generation<\/span><\/i>, a new publication featuring essays from Professor Martin Hammer and Dr Ben Thomas and richly illustrated with images from all three associated exhibitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
