Visibly Invisible Lecture Series: Thaddeus Squire

Feb 21 2012 6:00PM - 7:30PM

CBS Auditorium

Four cultural provocateurs challenge us to stop and look with fresh eyes at the beauty and possibilities all around in a free public lecture series at the University of the Arts presented by DesignPhiladelphia and the University's Corzo Center for the Creative Economy.

Thaddeus Squire
"Hide and Seek"
Founder of Hidden City Philadelphia – festival, online magazine, tour company – Squire will address the yearning for history in pop culture: from the prison fantasies of Piranesi to Mayan expedition drawings, Indiana Jones, "National Treasure" and "Tomb Raider"; from the retro-chic of Restoration Hardware and Anthroplogie to online gaming and the emerging photo genre of "ruin porn."
