the Mystery of Desire; Jackie Under My Skin, and the newly released
The Anatomy of Harpo Marks; (April 9*), and painter Carroll Dunham,
who will speak on the occasion of a survey of his drawings at L.A.s
Blum & Poe Gallery(April 17). For a full list of speakers, please visit http://www.artcenter.edu/gradart

World” spearheaded by one of today’s most influential thinkers Alain
Badiou (May 19). Badiou will be joined inconversation by noted
