Join UCLA's Louise Hornby for a fascinating talk about the ways in which Tacita Dean’s works engage with errancy and its various connotations of going astray through missteps, foolishness, trespasses, accidents, mistakes, disorientation, and doubt. Err is also a variant of air, a homonymic pairing that is central to thinking about how the subjects and materials of Dean’s work seek the ephemeral and the wayward.This program is free with registration.
