Since the mid-1980’s Gregory Green has created artworks and performances exploring the evolution of empowerment, which consider the use of violence, alternatives to violence and the accessibility to information and technology as vehicles for social or political change. Many of Green’s artistic investigations have focused on terrorism and the possibilities for sabotage of the physical infrastructure, and the ease in which individuals, armed with readily available information, can endanger the status quo.
Green’s work is included in major public and private collections, including among others the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Tate Gallery, London, the Saatchi Gallery, London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and MAMCO, Geneva; and his work is represented by numerous commercial Galleries in Europe and the United States. Green had been a working Artist in New York City for the past 17 years until joining the faculty at USF in the fall of 2006 to begin a career in teaching. Gregory attended undergraduate school at The Art Academy of Cincinnati (1981) and graduate school at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1984).
This lecture is sponsored by the School of Art and Art History Visiting Artists and Scholars Committee.
