Artist panel: “A Priest, A Rabbi and Charles Darwin Walk Into A Bar…”
September 19, 2010
On Sunday, September 19th, at 3 p.m., the APS Museum will host a panel discussion titled “A Priest, A Rabbi and Charles Darwin Walk Into A Bar…” Three artists, actor Brett Keyser (Darwinii: the Comeuppance of Man, a one-man show), sculptor Eve Andrée Laramée (Luminous Darwin, a mixed-media installation) and printmaker Beauvais Lyons (The Association for Creative Zoology, part installation, part performance) will discuss their artistic response to Darwin, evolution, and the APS Museum’s exhibition, Dialogues with Darwin. Questions to be addressed: Why did all three choose to take an ironic stance in relation to Darwin and evolution, given the controversy they still generate today? What did they learn from the process? How have audiences responded to it? --Linda Hutcheon, (University of Toronto) a leading scholar on the theory of parody, will chair the panel.
