Jan. 19, 4:30 p.m. -- Rob Storr, a national arbiter of emerging artistic talent, speaks up for rebels in the art world. He says it is the underdog artist who should be showcased in museums today, because underdog artists "are where the action is." The former curator of New York's Museum of Modern Art holds the Rosalie Solow Professorship of Modern Art at New York University. He is also director of an upcoming international art exhibition, the 2007 Venice Biennale. Storr's public lecture is part of the UC Davis Studio Art Program's lecture series and will be held in the AGR Room of the Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center.
