Join us at Fullerton Hall for a lecture by visiting artist Martin O'Brien followed by an audience Q&A.Location: The Art Institute of Chicago, Fullerton Hall, 111 S. Michigan Ave.
Martin O’Brien is an artist and zombie. He works across performance, writing, and video art. O’Brien has cystic fibrosis and all of his work and writing draws upon this experience. His work uses long durational actions, short speculative texts, critical rants, and performance processes in order to explore death and dying, what it means to be born with a life-shortening disease, and the philosophical implications of living longer than expected. In 2018, the book Survival of the Sickest: The Art of Martin O’Brien was published by Live Art Development Agency. He is currently senior lecturer in Live Art at Queen Mary University of London.
Presented in partnership with SAIC's Wellness Center.
