SUMMARY:John Corso
DESCRIPTION:"Notes on Damien Hirst's Pharmaceutical Works"\n\nCritical Stud
 ies Fellow John Corso Esquivel will offer an informal critic's talk about 
 his new book project\, Pharmaesthetics: Pill Culture in Contemporary Art. 
 John will discuss his preliminary research on Damien Hirst's pharmaceutica
 l works. Following Foucault's concept of the "medical gaze\," John will su
 ggest that Hirst's medicine cabinets take as their subject not living huma
 n bodies\, but the post-mortem corpse. In the European memento mori genre\
 , death was pictured to urge believers to follow a Christian moral life. H
 irst\, John will argue\, does not invoke death with those religious purpos
 es. Instead\, Hirst sets up an aesthetics rooted in anarchy and the insuff
 iciency of pharmacology to understand the human subject.\n\nSponsored by t
 he Critical Studies and Humanities Program
