CI artists' lectures

Julie Mehretu
Oct. 21 -- 5 p.m., McConomy Auditorium, Carnegie Mellon University. Free.
Mehretu's visually rich and energetic paintings synthesize a broad range of interests, experiences, and visual precedents, from architectural drawings, maps and floor plans to the grand scale and drama of traditional history painting and modernist abstraction.

Senga Nengudi
Oct. 28 -- 5 p.m., McConomy Auditorium, Carnegie Mellon University. Free.
Nengudi's performances and performance-based sculptures and installations have explored aspects of the human body in relation to ritual, philosophy and spirituality. Influential in African-American avant-garde art of the 1960s and 1970s, Nengudi injected traditional African forms into the mix of Western modernism.

Senga Nengudi and Linda Goode Bryant
Oct. 30 -- 2 p.m., Carnegie Lecture Hall. Free.
"Making the Private Public," the premiere of Linda Goode Bryant's documentary of Nengudi creating her sculptural installation and sand painting on view in the International. Bryant is an award-winning producer, writer, and director of experimental short films, videos and documentaries.

Ugo Rondinone and John Giorno
Nov. 7 -- 1 p.m., Carnegie Lecture Hall. Free.
"Collaboration and Convergence Between Visual Art and Poetry." One of Rondinone's two CI works was derived from a recent poem by poet and performer John Giorno. Rondinone speaks about his artistic practice followed by a performance by Giorno, one of the spoken word movement inventors.

Trisha Donnelly
Nov. 11 -- 5 p.m., McConomy Auditorium, Carnegie Mellon University. Free.
Donnelly's work is involved with the interrelationship of words, actions, thoughts and images and their ability to invoke associations in the mind's eye of the viewer.

Curators' lectures

Laura Hoptman
Oct. 15 -- 6 p.m., Carnegie Lecture Hall. Free.
Three years, 38 artists, five continents -- Hoptman tells the story of organizing the 2004 International and reflects on how the artists' confrontations of the most profound questions with human existence represent a shift in the art world at this moment in time.

Elizabeth A.T. Smith
Nov. 13 -- 2 p.m., Carnegie Lecture Hall. Free.
"Lee Bontecou in Perspective." Bontecou is one of three artists honored with a retrospective installation within the 2004 International.
