William Pope. L This Thursday!



William Pope. L is an interventionist performance artist who does performance artwork about
race and equity in the United States. One of my favorite works is called
The Great White Way
, in which he crawled down Broadway in New York City in
a Superman costume with a skateboard on his back.
Also check out "The Black Factory"

This Thursday February 19 at 6pm, he will be giving a lecture on his exhibit
"Corbu Pops" at the Carpenter Center at Harvard University for the opening
of his exhibit. This satirizes the work of Le Corbusier,
one of the leaders of modernism in architecture.

The Carpenter Center is at:

Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts

24 Quincy Street
Cambridge, MA 02138
