<blockquote type="cite" cite align="center">"To be historical,"
wrote philosopher Paul Ricoeur, "an event must be more than a
singular occurrence, a unique happening. It receives its definition
from its contribution to the development of a plot." If narrative
is central to written history, what might Ricoeur's statement mean for
artistic practices that operate with historical materials, such as
archives or found objects, or for artistic practices that use
historical theories themselves as subject matter? What of the
connection between historical and fictional narratives? In what ways
can artistic practices open a space to question the status of whose
narrative is being articulated? More generally, what are the
articulations of the relationship between contemporary art and an
interest in historical phenomena? Can current artistic practices
prompt a new sense of historical time, one reflected in a relationship
to the contemporary as a category of the present that is, in itself
already, historical?<br>

Contemporary Art was established in memory of Max Wasserman (MIT Class
of 1935), a founding member of the Council for the Arts at MIT. This
public forum was endowed through the generosity of the late Jeanne
Wasserman and addresses critical issues in contemporary art and
culture through the participation of renowned scholars, artists, and
arts professionals. The Forum is organized and presented by the MIT
List Visual Arts Center.<br>
