Department of Art History

February 5, 2024–February 23, 2024 

This one-hour workshop, co-hosted by the Visual Resources Center and Dissertation Office, is designed for PhD students who are preparing to include images (photographs, artwork, and charts) in their dissertations. The session will cover key considerations including copyright and citation requirements, image quality and formatting guidelines, and accessibility standards.

A study by Pew Research Center states that “38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade later.” This 45-minute workshop, co-hosted by the Center for Digital Scholarship and the Department of Art History, explores what’s at stake and how scholars can proactively archive cited web pages so their readers will be able to see the archived webpage even if the original is no longer available.

CWAC Exhibitions invites you to join Chat About to celebrate the opening of their first group show, Weathervanes!

Eleven artists find themselves thrown about by a twenty-first-century storm, distinct in its demands and challenges.

In conjunction with Beyond Boundaries: Three Decades of Contemporary Chinese Art at the Smart, CAEA will co-sponsor two public programs featuring acclaimed contemporary artist Lu Yang. These programs are part of the artist’s short-term residency period at UChicago, sponsored by the Chicago Forum for Free Inquiry and Expression.

Bringing together students, colleagues, and collaborators, Beyond Boundaries: a symposium in honor of Wu Hung reflects on Wu Hung’s interdisciplinary methodologies that have bridged ancient and contemporary art, regional traditions, and global frameworks over the past four decades.
