Political Advertisement X 1952-2020
For the past nine general elections, artists Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese have premiered the latest version of Political Advertisement X, a film tracing the use and history of political media. Surveying the American televisual campaign process from Eisenhower to Clinton and Trump, the artists trace the history of television ads as both political strategy and marketing technique.
Attend a special screening of the film followed by a discussion with the artists moderated by Stuart Shapiro, Ph.D., associate dean of faculty and professor, Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and John Weingart, associate director, Eagleton Institute of Politics and director, Education Programs and Center on the American Governor.
In partnership with Mason Gross School of the Arts and the Zimmerli Art Museum, this event has been designated as The Ruth Ellen Steinman Bloustein and Edward J. Bloustein Memorial Lecture.
