Elfline presents paper at College Art Association meeting

Ross Elfline, Associate Professor of Art History, presented a paper at the annual meeting of the College Art Association on February 14. Presenting on a panel on the topic “Being With: Thoughts on the Collective,” his paper, titled “Common Ground: Haus-Rucker-Co’s Food City and Collaborative Design Practice,” considered a series of performances by the Austrian architecture design collective Haus-Rucker-Co for which scale models of various cities made out of cake were ritually devoured by citizens of those cities. This essay will appear in the Walker Art Center’s online Living Collections Catalog later this summer.
