symposium series
The Ranch launched a new Symposium Series in
2014 to provide expansive forums for critical dialogue
on contemporary art. The 2014 Series included two
components — a panel discussion featuring the four
authors of The Reckoning: Women Artists of the
New Millennium, Eleanor Heartney, Helaine Posner,
Nancy Princenthal and Sue Scott, in conversation with
photographer Catherine Opie, as well as a two-day
symposium, entitled Making the Change They Want To
See, curated by Anne Pasternak, President and Artistic
Director of Creative Time. The artists invited to participate
in Making the Change They Want to See all use their
creative practices to affect social change and to endeavor
to bring greater justice into the world through their unique
insights, provocations and other new artistic models of
activism. Those included were such luminaries as British
artist, filmmaker and Oscar®-winning film director Steve
McQueen, and renowned New York Times art critic
Holland Cotter. Other international participants included
Tania Bruguera, Mel Chin, Greg Dobbs, Loren Jenkins,
Laurie Jo Reynolds, Darrell Cannon and Superflex.
