Lake Forest, Ill.—Lake Forest College presents Mark Pohlad, associate professor of Art History at DePaul University, who will give a lecture titled, “Marcel Duchamp as Curator,” on Monday, October 27 at 2:30 p.m. in the Durand Art Institute, room 209 on the College’s North Campus, near the intersection of Sheridan and Deerpath roads. The event is free and open to the public. For more information please contact 847-735-6010. Pohald’s talk, taken from his forthcoming book on Duchamp, examines the ways in which this avant-garde artist acted as his own curator, as he conserved, reproduced, and publicized his work for posterity. The Terra Museum of Art in Chicago will feature an exhibition this fall, “Debating American Modernism,” which deals specifically with Duchamp’s relationship to the New York avant-garde. This program is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation initiative toward creating a geographically-extended classroom. Lake Forest College is a private, liberal arts institution located 30 miles north of downtown Chicago. The college has 1,330 students representing 46 states and 50 other countries.
