Join SVMoA and Buzz Spector, internationally recognized artist, writer, critic, and Emeritus Professor of Art at Washington University in St. Louis, for a talk exploring the publications, ideas, and language-based artistic practices that shaped the art of the 1960s and 1970s, drawing connections to Circa 1971, the artists in the exhibition, and the longstanding dialogue between avant-garde literature and visual art.

Buzz Spector is an American artist, writer, and educator whose work explores the relationships between public history, individual memory, and perception. Best known for his sculptural and conceptual use of books, he employs stacking, tearing, and reconfiguration to examine how meaning is constructed and transformed through the materiality of language.
