In fall 2012 the CCA Wattis Institute continues its public program of Small Talks, a mini lecture series for CCA students and faculty as well as the wider Bay Area public. The intent is to prompt dialogue and connect the artistic practices and research concerns of CCA faculty with the themes of the exhibition When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes.
Claire Fontaine is a featured artist in When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes. Claire Fontaine is a collective based in Paris, who self-identifies as a "readymade artist" specializing in appropriation.
Small Talks is a mini lecture series held every Wednesday at the CCA Wattis Institute. The intent is to prompt dialogue and connect the artistic practices and research concerns of CCA faculty with the themes of the exhibition When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes. Small Talks are one hour in duration.
