Aaron Betsky is a critic, curator, educator, lecturer, and writer on architecture and design, who since 2006 has been the director of the Cincinnati Art Museum. He was director of the 11th Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2008. From 2001 to 2006 he served as director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute in Rotterdam. From 1995 to 2001, he was the curator of architecture, design, and digital projects at SFMOMA. He taught at Cal Poly Pomona and the University of Cincinnati from 1983 to 1985 and has worked as a designer for Frank Gehry and Hodgetts & Fung. Betsky has written monographs on the work of numerous late-20th-century architects as well as treatises on aesthetics, psychology and human sexuality as they pertain to aspects of architecture. He is one of the main contributors to a spatial interpretation of queer theory. In his CCA lecture he will discuss the major contributions queer men and women have made to our designed environment: through "queering" of forgotten or unformed spaces within the city, creating alternative social frameworks, perverting design styles, and creating an intermediary between interior design and architecture. Time: 7:00 p.m. Free and open to the public https://www.cca.edu/calendar/2014/lecture-aaron-betsky
