Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Nam June Paik. The Korean-born artist is widely considered the founder of video art. This month’s Art Talk focuses on his 1994 video sculpture Cage in Cage, a Victorian-style birdcage filled with active television monitors, currently on view in the Haggerty’s anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection. Inspired by Paik’s admiration for the avantgarde composer John Cage, the work is a meditation on human perception that takes poetic form as a chorus of disparate audio-visual signals. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.

In partnership with Marquette University’s GROW program. Free and open to the public.

Presented by
Kali Murray, Professor of Law, Marquette University Law School
Bruce Boyden, Associate Professor of Law, Marquette University Law School
Dr. Rikki Byrd, Visual Legacies Curator and Assistant Professor of Visual Culture Studies, Department of African and African Diaspora Studies, University of Texas at Austin

Intellectual Property Colloquium Series
Marquette University Law School hosts an intellectual property colloquium series featuring distinguished scholars from across the nation presenting their research to faculty, Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review members, and interested students. This session is presented in collaboration with the Haggerty Museum of Art in conjunction with the exhibition Visual Legacies: Photographs by Ellie Lee Weems.

Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Salvador Dalí. Dalí is known for painting logic-defying imagery with meticulous skill, such as his famous melting pocket watches, but Dali’s Surrealism took many forms during his long career. This month’s Art Talk will focus on his Madonna of Port Lligat, painted in 1949 and currently on view in the Haggerty’s anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection. Rendered with Dali’s characteristically immaculate brushwork, this stunning portrayal of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child brings Italian Renaissance art into dialogue with the Atomic Age. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.

In partnership with Marquette University’s GROW program. Free and open to the public.
