As part of the fall Art in the First Person series, Carol Becker gave a talk in the SVA amphitheater on November 13th on “the particular values that are mostly implicit in schools of art and design—the emphasis on process, the belief in failure, the concepts of sustainability, and the commitment to global thinking.”

Becker is Dean of the School of Arts at Columbia University and the author of several books, including the forthcoming collection of essays Thinking in Place: Art, Action, and Cultural Production.
