Claire Bishop – “Déjà vu: Contemporary Art and the Ghosts of Modernism”

Our first of two Spring Rewald Research in Progress lectures takes place tonight at 5:30 p.m, with Professor Claire Bishop presenting “Déjà vu: Contemporary Art and the Ghosts of Modernism.” Building upon a lecture at Centre Pompidou last fall, tonight’s talk addresses the proliferation of art produced over the past twenty years dealing with modernism.

In two weeks time on Monday, April 27 at 6:00 p.m. Patricia Falguières, Professor at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris, will deliver a lecture entitled “Politics for the White Cube: The Italian Way.”

Please note that our Rewald lectures are only open to students and faculty in the Art History Program, due to space constraints.
