MOA Visual and Material Culture Re search Seminar Series – Fall 2018
Thursday\, October 25 at 4:00pm – 5:00pm
Artist: Functions and For ms of History and Subjectivity
Catherine M. Soussloff\, Professor\, Art History\, Visual Art & Theory\, UBC
The imag e of the artist inheres to art’s history through both discursive and materi al means\, the outlines of which will be delineated in this paper particula rly in regard to artist in the world today. Named artists appear in writing s on art and architecture since antiquity in the European and Asian traditi ons.
The concept of art in history cannot be easily imagined without
the artist\, notwithstanding the more expansive field known today as global
visual culture\, which includes material objects and practices not formerl
y considered art. The name of the individual artist insures autonomy and or
iginality\, although the recent art practices related to digital media\,
“relational\,” and environmental intentions pressure the concept of the
singular creator and put her/him in potential conflict with the global econ
omy for art.
Open to all\, and free. No registration requ ired.
Venue: Room 213 at MOA
