SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Cuauhtémoc Medina\, "Designing an Era: Vicente Rojo’s Role in Mexican Culture"
DESCRIPTION:Cuauhtémoc Medina\nDesigning an Era: Vicente Rojo’s Role in Mexican Culture \nRegistration Link: https://bit.ly/3I4mppE \nMexicans from the second half of the 20th century were likely to have found a common element in the identity of the posters\, book covers and cultural supplements and magazines they consumed: most of them were likely to have been designed by the same hand: painter\, designer and editor Vicente Rojo (1932-2021). Few times in history\, a single person has been so influential in creating the visual culture of an era\, as Rojo was for Mexican culture. Vicente Rojo\, a Catalan emigré that moved to Mexico in 1949 escaping from Franco’s dictatorship in Spain\, conceived graphic design as a form of cultural service\, radically opposed to his devotion to abstract painting that he understood as a radically non-committed and personal practice. This talk will examine Vicente Rojo´s leading role as the provider of an aesthetic semblance for dominant Mexican modern culture\, the distant dialogue between his painting and design\, with particular emphasis in his artist books collaborations with writers such as Octavio Paz\, José Emilio Pacheco or José Miguel Ullan. \n  \nCuauhtémoc Medina (Mexico City\, December 5\, 1965) \nArt critic\, curator\, and historian holds a Ph.D. in History and Theory of Art from the University of Essex in Britain. Since 1993 he has been a full-time researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and between 2002 and 2008 was the first Associate Curator of Art Latin American Collections at the Tate Modern. He is currently Chief Curator at the MUAC Museum in Mexico City. \nIn 2012\, Medina was Head Curator of the Manifesta 9 Biennial in Genk\, Belgium\, titled The Deep of the Modern\, in association with Katerina Gregos and Dawn Ades. In 2018 he was chief curator of the 12th Shanghai Biennial titled “Progress. Art in the age of historical ambivalence” at the Power Station of Art. \nIn 2012 he became the sixth recipient of the Walter Hopps Award for Curatorial Achievement of the Menil Foundation. Among many publications\, he has recently published a collection of his essays on Mexican art titled: Abuso Mutuo (Mutual Abuse)\, RM and Cubo Blanco\, 2017 and the book Olinka: El sueño del Dr. Atl in 2019. \n

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr.  Deborah Ascher Barnstone\, "The Color of Modernism: Paints\, Pigments and the Transformation of Modern Architecture in 1920s Germany"
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, November 05 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm EST. \nRegistration: http://bit.ly/3DtZWQe \n  \nOne of the most enduring and pervasive myths about early modernism is that it was white. This was never true anywhere in Europe\, least of all in Germany where Bruno Taut published his famous “Call to Coloured Architecture” in 1919 before leading a motley effort to invent new ways of using colour in architecture and urban design. This talk\, based on a new book with the eponymous title\, will dismantle the myth of whiteness by examining five different theoretical interpretations of scientific and artistic colour theory advanced by members of the German avant-garde. Often working closely with contemporary artists\, 1920s architects in Germany developed an astonishing breadth of approaches that ranged from using colour as surface ornament to colour as space-making agent to colour as the agent of emotional charge to colour as the quality that could dissolve the surface of a wall to make physical enclosure and architecture abstract entities. Thus\, colour was integral to the spatial quality of design\, not applied as an afterthought\, and a key aspect of the work of many avant-garde architects developing new aesthetic systems. \nDeborah Ascher Barnstone is Professor of Architecture and Head of School at University of Technology Sydney. A graduate of Barnard College\, Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning and Preservation and Delft University of Technology\, she is both a practicing licensed architect and an architectural historian. Barnstone’s primary research interests are in interrogating the origins of modernism and exploring the relationships between art\, architecture\, and culture more broadly. Her monographs include The Break with the Past: German Avant-garde Architecture\, 1910-1925 (Routledge: 2018)\, Beyond the Bauhaus: Cultural Modernity in Weimar Breslau\, 1918-1933 (University of Michigan Press: 2016)\, and The Color of Modernism: Paints\, Pigments and the Transformation of Modern Architecture in 1920s Germany (Bloomsbury 2021). Recent publications include articles in Journal of Architecture\, Journal of Design History\, and New German Critique.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr. Ana María Reyes\, Boston University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: When Colombian artist Beatriz González brought furniture assemblages associated with the most private spaces of the domestic sphere into the museum\, they disrupted spectators’ expectations. In dialogue with a rapidly globalizing art world\, they engaged concurrent artistic practices such as assemblages\, ready-mades\, and installations. They also made visible the porous and mutually reinforcing domains of public and private life. They complicate the status of commodities as either functional or fetish\, and toy with the boundary between the sacred and the profane. Transgressing the boundaries of artistic autonomy\, these works converge into the social and political. In so doing\, they invite their audiences to recognize and critique the politicized character of private life and identity-formation during the Cold War.\n\nBio: Dr. Ana María Reyes is an Associate Professor in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture\, Center for Latin American Studies and American and New England Studies at Boston University. She is also Affiliated Researcher at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University and founding member of the Symbolic Reparations Research Project. Her book The Politics of Taste: Beatriz González and Cold War Aesthetics (Duke University Press\, 2019) was awarded the Association of Latin American Art History’s Arvey Award for best book in 2020. The book studies symbolic violence in the context of Cold War aesthetic and modernization discourses. She co-edited with Maureen Shanahan Simón Bolívar: Travels and Transformations of a Cultural Icon (University Press of Florida\, 2016) on cultural bolivarianisms as a case for the arts and humanities in democratic thinking. She is currently working on a new book\, To Weave and Repair: Symbolic Reparations in Colombia’s Peace Process. \n\n\nRegister in advance at this link: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJclfu2rqj4jE9ReOi_8vKeThYZ4xMuIOLGr

SUMMARY:Annual Symposium: "Mnemonic Aesthetics: Memory and Trauma in Art"
DESCRIPTION:  \n11th Annual Art History Graduate Student Symposium\nOrganized by the Rutgers University Art History Graduate Student Organization (AHGSO)\nApril 22nd & April 23rd\, 2021\nvia Zoom \nRegistration: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAqceusrTgoHdF9A44e_pvBbfbPoUnbIcFG \nKeynote Speakers:  \nApril 22\, 2021: Dr. Cheryl Finley\, Cornell University\nApril 23\, 2021: Dr. Deborah Willis\, New York University \n  \n“Memory is always transitory\, notoriously unreliable\, and haunted by forgetting —in short\, human and social…If the sense of lived time is being renegotiated in our contemporary cultures of memory\, we should not forget that time is not only the past\, its preservation and transmission.”\n— Andreas Huyssen\, Present Pasts: Media\, Politics\, Amnesia\, 2000 \nMemory has been central to the vocabularies of artists and art theorists since its translation from ancient rhetoric to visual arts scholarship in the early modern period. Recently\, scholars have addressed the relationship between memory and the history of art\, employing diverse methods from memory theory to decolonialism\, postcolonialism\, and eco-art history. Mnemonic aesthetics – a concept stressed by Cheryl Finley in her book\, Committed to Memory: The Art of the Slave Ship Icon – emphasizes a practice of ritualized remembering which sustains cultural possession and collective memory of shared traumas\, especially in regards to slavery. Through acts of repetition\, visual communication and performance allow memories that would otherwise succumb to cultural amnesia to be preserved. These acts attempt to revitalize and reinvigorate history by strengthening present ties to the past. This symposium will explore how memory\, in particular traumatic memory\, has informed the visual arts across chronologies. \n  \nThursday\, April 22\, 2021\n8:45 – 9:00 | Welcome \n9:00 – 10:45 | COLLECTIVE MEMORY \n\nDareen Hussein\, Ohio State University: Reversing the Gaze: Image\, Archive\, and Sounds of Resistance in Assia Djebar’s The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting\nMichelle Donnelly\, Yale University: Kiowas Moving Camp: The Negotiation of Memory in Stephen Mopope’s Anadarko Post Office Mural\nRachel Weiher\, University of St. Thomas: 16th Century Epidemic Representations in Hybrid Documents and Their Modern Traumatic Impact in Mexico\nSoyoon Ryu\, University of Michigan: Traveling soil\, plants reborn: on (re)materializing homeland in contemporary art of Tibetan diaspora\n\n10:45 – 11:00 | Coffee break \n 11:00 – 12:45 | MATERIAL MEMORY \n\nMathilde Sauquet\, Princeton University: Remembering the lost city of Thérouanne (1553): the role of re-used sculpture in the shaping of collective memories\nMarina Avia Estrada\, Columbia University: Ana Mendieta’s homecoming: recovering the Taíno pre-Columbian culture and fighting deculturation processes\nKearstin Jacobson\, the University of Texas at Austin: “Ancient temples collapsed”: Combating the Traumatic Memory of Plague through Creative Remembrance in the Medieval Era\nEmily Beaulieu\, Tufts University: The Ancient City of Ani: Ruins of the Past for the Present\n\n12:45 – 1:00 | Coffee break \n1:00 – 2:45 | ENVIRONMENTAL MEMORY \n\nHan Lu\, Cornell University: Framing and Haunting: Sitio Eriazos in the Works of Voluspa Jarpa in the 1990s\nGenevieve Westerby\, University of Maryland: A Devastating Invasion: Trauma and Memory\, Violence and Loss in Alfred Sisley’s Views of a Flooded Port-Marly\nIsaiah Bertagnolli\, University of Pittsburgh: No More Hiroshimas: Jacob Lawrence’s Hiroshima Series and the Anti-Nuclear Movement of the early 1980s\nLiam Machado\, Temple University: The Elegy in the Expanse: Water as Medium of Memory in Afterlives of the Transatlantic Slave Trade\n\n2:45 – 3:00 | Coffee Break \n3:00 – 4:30 | CHERYL FINLEY\, SPELMAN COLLEGE \n  \nFriday\, April 23\, 2021\n8:45 – 9:00 | Welcome \n9:00 – 10:45 | PORTRAITURE \n\nChen Jiang\, Columbia University: Portraits\, History\, and Memory: Zenken kojitsu by Kikuchi Yōsai (1788-1878)\nQiuyang (Lynette) Shen\, School of the Art Institute of Chicago: A Body in Places: The Haunting Memory of the Nuclear in Eiko Otake’s Spectral Performance\nJennie Waldow\, Stanford University: Preserving the Ephemeral: Depictions of the AIDS Crisis in Allen Ruppersberg’s Study for Bookmark\nRicardo Chavez\, University of Arizona: Portraits\, Power\, and the Digital Collective Consciousness: Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s Nivel de Confianza/Level of Confidence and the Ayotzinapa 43\n\n10:45 – 11:00 | Coffee break \n11:00 – 12:45 | PERSONAL TRAUMA \n\nDeborah Feller\, Rutgers University: The Transubstantiation of Trauma into Art: The Lamentation as Embodiment of Personal Grief\nChloë Courtney\, New York University: Stitching Worlds: Teresa Margolles’s Embroidered Memorials\nTony Yanzhang Cui\, University of Maryland: Assalito: Narratives of Pedagogic Violence in Denys Calvaert’s Bolognese Studio\nMartha Wilde\, School of the Art Institute of Chicago: Memory and (Dis)location in Mona Hatoum’s Present Tense\n\n12:45 – 1:00 | Coffee break \n1:00 – 2:45| MEMORIES OF VIOLENCE \n\nJordan Wade Rhodes\, University of Missouri: Katharina Sieverding Reflects on the State\nRobert Geilfuss\, New York University: Sam Gilliam After April 4\, 1968\nTorey Akers\, Hunter College: Pedestal Work\nKevin Hong\, Yale University: The Silences of “The Scourged Back”: The Emergence of an Icon and its Photographic Shadows\n\n2:45 – 3:00 | Coffee Break \n3:00 – 4:30 | DEBORAH WILLIS\, NYU

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr. Mrinalini Rajagopalan\, "Dancing and Diplomacy: The Arts of Hospitality at the Court of Begum Samru (1805-1836)"
DESCRIPTION:In the 1830s\, Lt. Thomas Bacon recalled the grand celebrations on Christmas Eve given by the Begum Samru\, dowager ruler of a small principality in northern India. High mass was followed by nautch (Indian dance)\, fireworks\, and sumptuous feasts for a large number of guests. Bacon was an officer with the East India Company (EIC)\, and he found it hard to reconcile that the “enlightened British community” were “doing homage and seeking favor at her footstool\, or even condescending to partake of her hospitality.” Begum Samru was the widow of a European mercenary soldier who had decades before massacred several EIC officers. Despite the fact that she bore the name of this “diabolical character” the begum had become a close ally of the EIC and frequently hosted them on occasions such as that described by Bacon. Dances\, feasts\, and fêtes were key instruments of hospitality in nineteenth-century India and the begum understood well the power of conviviality as diplomacy. This presentation focuses on the materiality and aesthetics of the begum’s hospitality—the tents where nautch was organized\, the salons where banquets were hosted\, and the Catholic church where Christmas Mass was held. While there are many textual descriptions of dancing\, feasting\, and celebration hosted by the begum\, there are no visual records of the same. This presentation thus also addresses the methodological challenge of writing a history of the “unpictured”. Creating a composite history for Begum Samru requires a collation of archival fragments and the translation of contemporary visual records centered largely on men. By contending with the “unpictured” history of the begum’s hospitality I hope to spark a discussion on how powerful women are remembered\, and forgotten\, in the visual record.\n\n\n\n\n\nRajagopalan DSS

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr. Susanna Berger\, "Anamorphic Revelations and Justifiable Obscurity
DESCRIPTION:In late sixteenth-century Italy\, the rhetorical foundations of sacred visual art were laid out directly by Gabriele Paleotti (1522–1597)\, the Bishop of Bologna\, who wrote in his famous post-Tridentine treatise that images “are supposed to move the hearts of observers to devotion and the true cult of God”. Given the long-standing elevation of clarity in the West from Aristotle onwards as a rhetorical virtue and the concomitant criticism of obscurity as an obstacle to persuasive discourse\, the popularity in Counter-Reformation circles of anamorphic images\, which plunge observers into states of perceptual confusion\, is somewhat counter-intuitive. This talk argues that the contrast between confusion and clarity evoked by anamorphoses made the experience of distinctness or clear perception without obscurity particularly palpable. I also contend that visual discernment gained through anamorphoses was understood to assist in a movement toward an experience of an inner\, spiritual discernment.
