The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Visiting Artists Program presents: RICHARD SENNETT Craftsmanship Old and New December 6, 6:00pm Lecture SAIC Auditorium, 280 S. Columbus Drive Chiefly known for his elegant and scholarly writing, Richard Sennett deftly explores the disciplines of architecture, design, music, art, literature, history, and political and economic theory.  Celebrated for his studies of social ties in cities, Sennett has produced more than a dozen books, including three novels, mostly on aspects of the urban experience and the interconnection between authority, modernism, and public life.  In the 1970s Sennett co-founded the New York Institute for the Humanities at New York University, and since the mid-90s he has split his time between NYU and the London School of Economics.  His books include The Fall of Public Man; Respect, In an Age of Inequality; The Culture of New Capitalism; and most recently, The Craftsman .  This presentation is supported in part by the William H. Bronson and Grayce Slovett Mitchell Lecture Series in the Departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects and Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Above image: Richard Sennett © Thomas Struth About the Visiting Artists Program Formalized in 1951 with an endowed fund from Flora Mayer Witkowsky, the Visiting Artists Program hosts public presentations by artists, designers, and scholars each academic year to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through discourse.
