The Boston University School of Visual Arts at the College of Fine Arts is pleased to present acclaimed artist Laurie Anderson as the eighth annual Tim Hamill Visiting Artist. The lecture series, named in honor of BU School of Visual Arts alumnus Tim Hamill, was launched in 2004 to present artists whose work crosses boundaries among artistic disciplines, and who connect to the art world in a variety of ways. This year's lecture will be held on Monday, February 27 at 6:30pm in Boston University's Morse Auditorium (602 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA), and it's free and open to the public. Call 617.353.3371 for more information.
New York-based artist Laurie Anderson has created large-scale theatrical works that combine a variety of media—music, video, storytelling, projected imagery, sculpture—in which she is an electrifying performer. As a visual artist, her work has been shown at the Guggenheim Museum in SoHo, New York, as well as extensively in Europe, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. She has also released seven albums for Warner Bros., including "Big Science," featuring the song "O Superman," which rose to number two on the British pop charts.
