Text from UCI promotional materials.

The UC Irvine Studio Art Lecture Series “Perfect Lovers” attempts to complicate the traditional grad school lecture by pairing artists, curators, and culture-makers in conversation with each other. We want to offer our program and the public the vital event of seeing artists discuss their work in a more spontaneous way; and give artists the opportunity to share their work, interests and obsessions in dialogue.

As the clocks in Felix Gonzalez-Torres “Perfect Lovers” move in sync and out of sync, we believe that pairing speakers whose practices may coincide and conflict can better highlight the stakes and debates of contemporary practice.
