A year of firsts is coming to a close.  With Olaf Breuning’s lecture 15 days away as the last event in our series’ inaugural year, the Department of Architecture is hosting artist Paul Pfeiffer this Thursday in Shattuck Hall Annex to close their own series’ first year.  From the Firsts lecture series’ bio of Pfeiffer: Paul Pfeiffer is a New York–based artist whose groundbreaking work in video, sculpture and photography uses recent computer technologies to examine the role that the mass media plays in shaping consciousness. Pfeiffer prompts audiences to reconsider attitudes about the body, race, identity, faith and architectural space in contemporary society. His work has been exhibited internationally at renowned museums and galleries and is in private and public collections worldwide. He is the recipient of numerous awards and, notably, he is the inaugural recipient of the Bucksbaum Award, given by the Whitney Museum of American Art (2000).

Olaf Breuning is coming to PSU, and he’ll be closing out the inaugural season of the PSU MFA Studio Lecture Series. For this very special event, the series will move to PSU’s Fifth Avenue Cinema at SW 5th & Hall beneath Ondine Residence Hall, but the show will still start at 7pm on Wednesday, May 30. PICA offers this introduction to Olaf’s Home series: In Home 2, a hapless narrator caricatures the Western obsession with the authentically “exotic” through a series of awkward travelogues. Home 3, Breuning’s most recent film, continues his series with a focus on the relationship between modern man and his technological environment. Hoping that communication technology will offer a degree of liberation, the protagonist becomes more and more entangled in obligations and interaction. Join us May 30 at Fifth Avenue Cinema for this very exciting event! Additional sponsorship for Olaf’s lecture comes from Ace Hotel.
