\n6:30 PM in the Lecture Hall
\nThe Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
\nfollowed by a reception<\/p>\n

Haim Steinbach rose to prominence in the 1980s by creating sculpture in which the latent cultural value and socially critical characteristics of commodity objects were brought to the fore. He developed a strategy of arranging objects on laminated wood shelves. His investment in collecting, organizing and displaying objects of a particular time often reveal the darker, ironic, humorous and psychological aspect of the culture in which they were produced. His “shelf arrangements” have profoundly shifted the implications of and possibilities for the readymade object in art, and ignited a deeply contested post-modern artistic debate.<\/p>\n

Steinbach received his BFA from Pratt and his MFA from Yale in 1973. Solo exhibitions have been held at the Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam (1992), Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna (1997), and the Berkeley Art Museum, UC Berkeley (2005).<\/p>\n

Taking advantage of the IFA’s location in one of the world’s leading art centers, the Graduate Student Association invites artists to discuss their work at the Institute. Begun in 1983, these talks are now funded by a generous gift in memory of late IFA Professor Kirk Varnedoe, who inspired the series.<\/p>\n
