“Monsters Among Us with Claire Dederer” is a wide-ranging discussion of this central question: What do we do with great art made by bad people? Pulling from her best-selling book Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma, Claire Dederer explores the problem of separating the art from the artist.
Dederer’s lecture walks audiences through several additional questions: Is monstrosity a key ingredient in the making of great art? Are all monsters men, or do audiences have to balance greatness and terrible behavior when appreciating art by female artists? And what happens when we put ourselves in the middle of the conversation and acknowledge our own failures?
A book signing with Dederer immediately follows the lecture, with limited copies of Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma available on-site. Guests are encouraged to preorder a copy through the CMA store below.
This lecture is made possible with support from Case Western Reserve University’s Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities.
