Matthew Olzmann – Shape of the Mystery  (July 2024)

In her essay, “The Cultural Importance of the Arts,” Susanne K. Langer says that the “The primary function of art is to objectify feeling so we can contemplate and understand it.”  Matthew Olzmann’s lecture explores the spaces in our lives beyond the limits of discursive language, and how art exists to give the mystery of those spaces a shape and a form.
