Abstract
Building on the first iteration of this event last year, Art History Offscreen will consist of a series of short presentations by members of our faculty. The name is intended to signal the event's in-person and informal nature: participants were invited to fill a thirty-minute slot however they wished. The goal is to foster connections within the department that can extend well beyond a single afternoon, and so we will forgo a formal Q&A and instead use the break and reception to talk with our speakers.
In conjunction with the exhibition Monochrome Multitudes, the Smart Museum of Art, the Department of Art History, and University of Chicago partners present a quarter-long artist talk series.
Arturo Herrera’s artist talk is co-sponsored by the Goethe-Institut.
