X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p><strong>The 28th Annual UBC Art History Gr
 aduate Student Symposium starts today</strong></p><p><strong>Opening Recept
 ion February 7th\, 5:30pm</strong></p><p>The theme of this year's conferenc
 e investigates the notion of materiality as a methodological approach to ar
 tistic and cultural production. Materiality is a theoretically and philosop
 hically embedded concept which can describe the substance or quality of a '
 thing' and demands an attention to the relationships that it solicits from 
 the human agents around it. Ultimately\, it has offered art historians a me
 ans of retaining an interest in 'context' whilst reinvesting in the 'formal
 ' qualities of art (without the 'formalism'). At the same time\, it is a wa
 y of opening up a space for discussion between disciplines and modes of pro
 duction of knowledge\, both scholarly and creative.</p><p>February 7 Saturd
