Tenure Lecture of Prof. Ryan Thompson

Join us for the tenure lecture of Professor of Art & Design Ryan Thompson on March 22 at 3:55 pm in the Grand Lobby of Ozinga Chapel. Tenure lectures are a celebration of the mature Christian scholarship of our faculty colleagues. When we celebrate these moments, we mark and extend our commitment to our core identity and mission as a College – and we rejoice at the gifted teacher-scholars in our midst!

Thompson’s lecture, “Look this Way,” engages the role of conceptual art in an attention economy, with a specific focus on how it might help stretch our attention and expand our understanding of time. The lecture will also speculate on connections between conceptual art, prayer, and the discomfort of embracing the unknown.
