The 39th Annual University of British Col umbia Department of Art History\, Visual Art & Theory Graduate Symposium is pleased to announce that this year’s event\, The Margin is the Centre\, wi ll take place from March 10 – 11\, 2016. The concurrent exhibition\, curate d by the Graduate Symposium Committee\, will open from 5 – 7pm on March 10\ , at the AHVA Gallery in the Audain Art Centre.
The Margin is the Cen tre will engage with and bridge materialist\, cultural\, geopolitical\, and medium-oriented discourses on marginality within art and art history at a moment when the stability of the centre-margin binary is rapidly deteriorat ing. The political and cultural potential of marginality\, as well as the p ersistent actions of the former centre\, saturates contemporary discourse a nd reflects the historical progression of global de-colonial efforts\, glob alization\, and the acceleration of late capital. Artistic-activist interve ntions\, new approaches within marginalized discourses in art history\, and subalternized artistic practices and objects ask us to re-evaluate the dyn amic process of constitution and identification at play in the centre-margi n binary. Perhaps the decentering work required by these practices can enco urage us to see each margin as a centre of its own. The AHVA Graduate Sympo sium proposes a self-reflexive examination of this shifting dichotomy withi n art and art history\, as well as the social sciences and humanities at la rge.
The keynote speaker will be Byron Hamann\, from the Department o f History of Art at Ohio State University.
