DESCRIPTION:As laws in the U.S. governing the freedom of expression and the
  right to occupy space continue to change\, artists increasingly anticipat
 e the presence of police\, surveillance technologies and the consequences 
 of arrest. How has the anticipation of punitive encounters taken shape mat
 erially\, somatically\, and temporally in art? In what ways has the misrec
 ognition of artists’ vulnerabilities to state-sanctioned violence contri
 buted to the normalizing of carceral relations in art practice?  This pres
 entation draws upon Black feminist and queer of color theories of spatiali
 zed power\, critical disability studies\, and health studies to assess how
  artists’ differing calculations of risk can be understood as a form of 
 knowledge--punitive literacy--uniquely equipped to confront the carceral h
 umanisms shaping contemporary art and American society today.\n\nFaye Glei
 sser (she/her) is Associate Professor of Contemporary Art and Critical The
 ory at Indiana University\, Bloomington\, where she is an affiliate of the
  Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society. Gleisser is an inte
 rdisciplinary art historian and curator of 20th and 21st century art\, spe
 cializing in performance art\, theories of embodiment\, and the gendered r
 acial politics of canon formation. Her scholarship has appeared in Art Jou
 rnal\, October\, Artforum\, Journal of Visual Culture\, Women & Performanc
 e\, ASAP/J\, Aperture\, a number of exhibition catalogues\, and is forthco
 ming in the Journal for Curatorial Studies. Her first book\, Risk Work: Ma
 king Art and Guerrilla Tactics in Punitive America\, 1967-1987 (University
  of Chicago Press\, 2023)\, analyzing the relationship of policing\, state
  power\, and guerrilla art practice in the United States\, received the 20
 24 ASAP Book Prize and the Smithsonian's 2025 Charles C. Eldredge Book Pri
 ze. Gleisser is currently researching artists and curators whose work anim
 ates the nexus of hormonal management\, socio-medical state surveillance\,
  and the possibilities of somatic abolitionist art practices.
