DESCRIPTION:Daniel Joseph Martinez will give a performative lecture that wi

 on will center on Martinez’s expansive practice and developments in the 
 framing of artistic production engaged in political and social critique in

 tice takes the form of text\, sculpture\, photography\, painting\, install

 y question issues of the politics of race\, personal and collective identi
 ty\, vision and visuality\, and the fissures formed between the appearance
  and the perception of difference.\n\nMartinez represented the U.S. in 11 
 biennials worldwide\, including the Venice Biennial (1993)\; Istanbul Bien
 nial (2011)\; Lyon Biennial\, France (2013)\; among others\, and received
