Lecture “Performative Objects and Spaces”
Join the Department of Performance Studies as we welcome PS Alum Rodrigo Tisi (Ph.D. ’11) for an Alumni Lecture Series event to discuss his book, Performative Objects and Spaces. This presentation will navigate the explorations of Rodrigo Tisi’s work as he combines ideas of performance with architecture. His argumentation elaborates on a methodology that highlights different factors in designing performative objects and spaces. The book presents the case of Plaza Italia in Santiago to explore ideas of the performative and of performativity that insist in his argumentation. This book incorporates the voices of other colleagues such as Brandon LaBelle, Kristine Samson, Shauna Janssen, and Charles Renfro. Fellow PS Alum Marcela Fuentes, Associate Professor of Performance Studies, Northwestern University (Ph.D. ’08 M.A. ’02) will join Rodrigo for a Q/A session following his presentation.
