ICA Miami presents Lucy Raven: Twentieth Century Lights

Saturday, April 8th at 2pm join us at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami when artist, filmmaker and S-V-A graduate professor Lucy Raven will discuss the illuminating legacy of searchlights in 20th century film, war, and the media. As part of the Art + Research Center’s Spring 2017 Semester, “New Social Abstractions,” artist and filmmaker Lucy Raven will deliver a new public lecture, “20th Century Lights,” at ICA Miami. To learn more, or enroll in workshops conducted by Lucy Raven, please visit icamiami.org/arc. This talk will explore a legacy of searchlights in the 20th century—in cinema, in war, and in media fanfare. As research for a new project currently in production, the history of these lights will be examined alongside the images they produce and the locations and ideologies they illuminate.
