ABOUT THE EVENTS

http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/live.htm

CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN - DISRUPTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
Roland Penrose Artists' Talk, Friday 9 March

A pioneer of body art, installation and performance, will discuss resistance
and radicalisation in contemporary art. Carolee Schneemann's practice is
concerned with archaic visual traditions, with wresting pleasure from
taboos, and with the dynamic relationships between the body of the artist
and the social body.

Supported by the Elephant Trust


REM KOOLHAAS
Saturday 10 March

To coincide with the Lagos exhibition in CENTURY CITY, and in advance of his
new book on Lagos, architect and theorist, Rem Koolhaas explores the
particular dynamics of that city, its modes of dispersal and reclamation,
and describes the flexibility, intensity and efficiency with which it
functions.

In collaboration with Goldsmiths College, with support from London Arts
