The Department of Art History will host our annual CAA reception on Thursday, February 22nd at 5:30pm in the Westin Bonaventure Hotel Palos Verde Room (404 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071). To RSVP, please email arthistory@uchicago.edu.
The Objects Symposium, part of the 2017-2018 Sawyer Seminar on Urban Art and Urban Form, focuses on all that “stuff” in urban space that’s neither building nor infrastructure—benches, streetlights, bus shelters, sculptures, performance works, and small-scale projects. Less an intervention as they are a kind of tactical insertion into everyday space, urban objects—whether mobile or static, animate or inanimate—re-activate public space in various ways.
In this symposium for the 2017-18 Mellon Sawyer Seminar, we examine the expanded space of walls. Considering the dimensional spaces that walls define, create, inspire, and respond to, we will look at the role of walls in our cities and consider their social function as well as their form, how the two relate, and how works of art can inform or transform that relation. Walls divide us, but they can also form conduits for interaction and relation.
