As February comes to an end and the semester kicks into high gear, we’d like to highlight a few recent students news items:
Professor Manthorne will discuss her work with the Cisneros Collection of Latin American art and her recent publication Traveler Artists: Landscapes of Latin America from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection at the New York Academy of Arts on Friday, November 20, at 6:30 PM.
The publication was released in conjunction with the exhibition, “Boundless Reality: Traveler Artists’ Landscapes of Latin America from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection,” on view at the Americas Society and at the Bertha and Karl Leubsdorf Gallery at Hunter College through January 23rd.
This Thursday at the Institute of Fine Arts, Professor Emily Braun will discuss the choices and challenges involved in organizing the current retrospective of Alberto Burri at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the first in this country in nearly forty years. The exhibition documents Burri’s development, argues for his widespread influence, and revises standard interpretations of post-WWII art. In any monographic show, selection, exclusion, and availability of works for loan determine how an artist’s career will be narrated and received. Burri’s highly tactile pictures, made of unorthodox materials, demand specific types of attention and installation design. Braun will examine these issues, as well the process of conceiving the Burri retrospective in tandem with the architecture of the Frank Lloyd Wright Rotunda.

On Wednesday 11/18, GC PhD candidate Gillian Sneed will give a lecture tracing the arc of Latin American and Latino street-based conceptual and performance art from the 1970s until today. The public talk is planned in conjunction with Acciones en la Calle: Street Works in New York and Latin America circa 1970, on view at SUNY College at Old Westbury through December 4. Curated by Sneed, this historical exhibition considers the conceptual and performative strategies employed by artists in the 1960s and ’70s that rejected institutional spaces in favor of the street as the context and subject of their work.
Participating Artists include Vito Acconci, Artur Barrio, Rosemarie Castoro, Eduardo Costa, Cris Gianakos, Victor Grippo, Stephen Kaltenbach, Leandro Katz, Rosemary Mayer, Ana Mendieta, Marta Minujín, Hélio Oiticica, John Perreault, and Regina Vater.
The lecture will take place Wednesday, November 18, 2015, from 4 – 5PM

Congrats to Berkowitz, whose dissertation, “Bloomsbury’s Byzantium and the Writing of Modern Art,” explores the role of Byzantine art played in the genesis of Modernist formalism–from shaping Roger Fry and Clive Bell’s aesthetic theories to the integration of non-Western art with the European canon. The grant will allow Elizabeth to travel to England and access archives related to Fry, Bell, and other Bloomsbury members at King’s College, Cambridge and the Tate Archives at the Tate Britain.
In conjunction with Jewish Museum’s Unorthodox exhibition, curated by GC PhD candidate Daniel Palmer, Prof. Bishop and Decter will discuss the role and function of art in post-avant-garde times — particularly the notion of the historical avant-garde as challenging orthodoxies across disciplines, with those avant-garde heterodoxies eventually becoming orthodoxies in their own right.
Thursday, November 12
6:30 – 8 pm, Scheuer Auditorium ($15 General; $12 Students and Seniors; $10 Members)
