Lecture by Dan Bailey
For Spectrum: 2010 Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition
In conjunction with the exhibition Spectrum: 2010 Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition, the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture presents a lecture by Dan Bailey, professor of Visual Arts and director of the Imaging Research Center.
Dan Bailey's films and animations have received numerous national and international awards and have been included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France. His work has been screened at the Kennedy Center, Whitney Museum, and Museum of Modern Art, and has been broadcast on HBO and PBS. He directed 18 minutes of animation for the Minnesota Orchestra's award-winning pilot video On the Day You Were Born and collaborated with MIT Researcher, Kent Larson, on a virtual documentary of Louis Kahn's as-yet-unbuilt Hurva Synagogue.
His recent work in real-time interactive visualizations includes a Digital 3D puppet of George W. Bush, a visualization of Henri Matisse's sculpture process, and a virtual tour of the Cone sisters' collection of early 20th century art. He is currently working on a major research project of visualizing Washington, D.C. just before the British destroyed much of the city during the War of 1812. A pilot of this research was exhibited at the Walters Art Museum in spring 2008, and an upcoming PBS documentary on Benjamin Henry Latrobe will include major aspects of the work.
12 noon, Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture. Admission is free. For additional information please call 410-455-3188.
