Institute of Contemporary Art Miami ICA Miami

As part of the Art + Research Center’s Spring 2017 Semester, “New Social Abstractions,” artist and filmmaker Lucy Raven will deliver a new public lecture, “20th Century Lights,” at ICA Miami. To learn more, or enroll in workshops conducted by Lucy Raven, please visit icamiami.org/arc.

20th Century Lights

This talk will explore a legacy of searchlights in the 20th century—in cinema, in war, and in media fanfare. As research for a new project currently in production, the history of these lights will be examined alongside the images they produce and the locations and ideologies they illuminate.
