October 25
David Pagel, October 25

David Pagel, curator, art critic for the Los Angeles Times, and department chair and associate professor at the School of Arts and Humanities at Claremont University in Claremont, California, has been recognized for the lucidity and passion with which he shares his ideas, observations, and insights concerning contemporary art. With a bachelor of arts in modern thought and literature from Stanford University and a master of arts from Harvard University, Pagel has developed a distinguished career around his personal interest in art, stating on recent panel for the Texas Biennial, "I write about art to make the world safer for me." For Tuesday Evenings, he presents Getting It Wrong in Just the Right Way: Diebenkorn's West Coastism, addressing the various ways some prominent California artists, including Richard Diebenkorn, have been out of step with prevailing trends and tendencies, often doing things wrong to get their art right.

Upcoming lectures:

November 1- Koki Tanaka, artist, Los Angeles, California

November 8- Michael Auping, chief curator, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

November 15 - Katy Siegel, contributing editor for Artforum and assistant professor of art history, Hunter College, CUNY, New York*

*A book signing in conjunction with the publication of Siegel's recent book, Since '45: America and the Making of Contemporary Art, will precede the lecture.
