Lunch on Fridays: Jose Teixeira

Spend a lunch hour learning about the latest in art and design during these Friday lectures. Each lecture features a variety of artists and designers from around the world, including CIA faculty and visiting artists.

As an artist, José Carlos Teixeira develops research-based work involving primarily video-essay, installation, performance, and related photography. In his presentation, he will discuss recent projects, while expanding on broader issues in contemporary art and critical thinking.

Teixeira holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio from UCLA, and a BFA from the University of Porto. His work has been shown both in Europe and in the USA, as well as in Brazil, Singapore, China, Mozambique, and South Africa. Teixeira was the recipient of the Fulbright Grant, Gulbenkian Foundation Grant, UCLA D’Arcy Hayman Award, and the Fuso Festival Jury Prize 2011. In 2008, he was a fellow at the Akademie Schloss Solitude (Stuttgart), and recently he developed residency projects at both the MacDowell Colony, and the Headlands Center for the Arts.

This event is free and open to the public. Pizza and beverages will be provided. Click here to read more about the Lunch on Fridays series.
