PERCEPTION, THE ART OBJECT, AND THE GALLERY SPACE: A New Public Course Offered by BAM/PFA and UC Berkeley Extension Six Saturday Mornings, March 31–May 5. 2007 Museum Conference Room This new museum offering is a chance to explore ideas about temporality and duration in twentieth-century art and film—ideas embodied in the BAM exhibitions Measure of Time and A Rose Has No Teeth: Bruce Nauman in the 1960s, which opens in January. The course provides an unusual opportunity to consider primary topics that arise in Modernism and Postmodernism—representation, concept, and form in time-based media—in direct contact with artworks. The chance to spend part of each of the six class sessions in the galleries promises to deepen the experience of these key concepts, and offers a new, sustained way to engage with the museum's exhibitions. Designed as a collaboration between the museum and UC Extension, the course is taught by writer, curator, and art historian Terri Cohn. Cohn served as interim MATRIX curator at BAM in 2005, and was recently one of four curators for Four on One: Curators Create, Artist Curates, part of the Garage Biennial. In 2004, she received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for her curatorial project Sacred Spaces (at the Berkeley Art Center). A specialist in contemporary art, Cohn has taught and lectured widely in the Bay Area, and is currently visiting faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute.
