School of the Arts at BU presents Inaugural Visiting Artist Tony Cokes, Visual Artist and Professor in the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, who will hold an artist talk on Monday, November 17, at 6 p.m. in AM 189 on BU Campus.
Tony Cokes, a MacArthur “Genius” award–winning artist, is celebrated for his striking video works that mix text, music, and found footage. His art has been featured at major exhibitions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Whitney Museum, where he brings sharp humor and critical insight to questions of culture, politics, and power. His pieces tackle culture, politics, and power with sharp wit, turning pop songs and everyday media into unexpected tools of critique.
