Arthur Danto lectures this month

Arthur Danto's work has been added to my reading list after being introduced to his thinking last year by the excellent art blogs Iconoduel and Modern Kicks. he has a couple of lectures/panels this month that you might be interested in. My initial understanding of his work is that it will be infomative on my own thinking about photography's place in the larger world of art being created today. The first lecture is tonight, the second is on the 17th.
