Vito Acconci!

Internationally acclaimed artists, architect, and weirdo Vito Acconci will be lecturing at the MFA tonight. Over the course of his almost fifty year career in the art world Vito has stuffed marbles in his face, bitten himself, and whispered lewd remarks to strangers while inappropriately touching himself in public for the sake of his art. In the 1990's Vito turned his artistic talents to the fields of architecture and landscape design. And has developed a significant body of experimental architectural projects. He has lectured around the world, has taught at many institutions, including the Cooper Union; School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Yale University; and the Parsons School of Design. He currently teaches at Brooklyn College.

Who knows exactly what Vito will speak about tonight. But whatever it is, you'll be sad you missed it.

This event will be held in conjunction with the exhibition, Design
Life Now: National Design Triennial, 2006, on view through April 20,
2008 at the CAM. Design Life Now is traveling to Houston from the
Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum.
