Lecture by Sunny Yudkoff. This lecture will explore the evolving manifestations of Yiddish in the work of the contemporary artist Mel Bochner. One of the founding figures of American conceptual art, Bochner has continuously re-examined the unstable nature of language. The following presentation investigates how Bochner\u2019s postvernacular invocation of Yiddish calls into crisis this central contention of his work. Extending Bochner\u2019s painterly assertion that \u201clanguage is not transparent,\u201d this lecture asks: What about Yiddish?<\/p>\n\n\n
