We are thrilled to share our junior art history major Arnie Campa has won a Beinecke Fellowship for graduate study following her BA work at UChicago. The program seeks to encourage and enable highly motivated students to pursue opportunities available to them and to be courageous in the selection of a graduate course of study in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
Congratulations to Natalie Jenkins on being awarded this year’s T.
We are happy to share that Christian Scheidemann, who teaches our Suzanne Deal Booth Conservation Seminar, is featured in Spike Magazine. This article provides a great overview of his conservation practice and work with contemporary artists.
Initiated in 2007 by artist Tania Bruguera along with a committee of other University of Chicago members, the Open Practice Committee (OPC) invites artists, critics, and curators of contemporary art to address the campus community to explore the atmospheres and attitudes that make art contemporary.
In this conversation, three curators—Mark Pascale, Art History PhD student Stephanie Strother, and Kathryn Cua—discuss the exhibition Four Chicago Artists: Theodore Halkin, Evelyn Statsinger, Barbara Rossi, and Christina Ramberg and explore how these four iconic artists shaped the visual culture of Chicago.
An exhibition co-curated by Art History PhD student Stephanie Strother, Four Chicago Artists: Theodore Halkin, Evelyn Statsinger, Barbara Rossi, and Christina Ramberg, is open now through August 26.
See AIC magazine interview with Stephanie Strother and Yechen Zhao here.
An article on the Gold Gorvy Traveling Seminar, “From Detail to City at Taliesin” taught by Luke Joyner and Casey Breen-Edelstein has been featured in the spring 2024 issue of the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly.

Art History doctoral alumna Zsofi Valyi-Nagy, also an alumna of the College and currently on a Getty postdoc, garnered the cover story in the May issue of the leading international art journal Artforum, on the subject of her dissertation, the pioneering Hungarian computer artist Vera Molnar.
Zsofi’s hard research and thinking over the last decade has become only more important with the rise of AI.
Last year, Zsofi won both the Dean’s and Art History’s Teaching Awards.
Chat About: Qianyu Fu & Miao Wang is an exhibition in conjunction with the event Chat About: Yves Cao, Qianyu Fu, Lauren Rooney, and Miao Wang, April 26, 2024.
