Crossing Boundaries: Making World Art History

11:00 / Welcome and Introduction

11:15 – 12:00 / Interview: Shelley Rice with Milagros de la Torre

12:00 – 1:15 / Panel 1: Pedagogy

Edward Sullivan (Moderator), Professor, The Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
Yaëlle Biro, Associate Curator for African Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art
Mark Jarzombek, Professor of the History and Theory of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Jay Levenson, Director, International Program, The Museum of Modern Art

This panel engages leaders in academies and museums to reflect upon the methodologies, practices, and strategies they employ in order to present and contextualize world art history in increasingly global environments. How do educational programs address new ideas, demographics, technologies, and political realities?

Eurocentrism in the art historical survey course, premised as a general overview of the field, has been a topic of critique and debate in recent years. Efforts have been made to “globalize” the survey, but as the field continuously expands, it is harder to define the boundaries of the introductory canon. How can we renegotiate canonical borders and restructure the scope of the survey? Relatedly, how might universities serve progressively diverse student bodies? How do global “franchise” institutions, such as NYU and the Guggenheim, address the needs of international audiences? How do pedagogical practices shift according to place?

The origin of Western encyclopedic museums can be traced to 19th-century colonialism, a legacy embodied in many collection histories and organizational structures. How have such institutions evolved and adapted to suit 21st century society? Contemporary art galleries, on the other hand, seem to have moved beyond the mere presentation of artworks to function as hybrid spaces – sites of communal gathering and exchange, effectively reducing divisions between artists, artworks, and the public. Do social interventions and participatory projects constitute pedagogical acts of mediation? How can education increase access and engagement among communities traditionally neglected from spaces of art and culture?

1:15 – 2:15 / Lunch

2:15 – 3:30 / Panel 2: Networks

Networks defy limitations imposed by borders, transcending boundaries as interconnective structures for transmitting and receiving information. This discussion approaches networks as systems of material and virtual exchange and interaction. How do artistic networks (institutional, commercial, creative, etc.) intersect and influence processes of dissemination, circulation, and mediation? How do institutions, collections, exhibitions, and individual artworks serve as nodal points within these systems? Diasporic networks – which trace the voluntary and forced dispersals of people around the world – are historically overlooked due to a discursive cohesion to national or regional narratives in the field of art history; since the late 20th century, however, the diaspora has increasingly become a topic of scholarly and curatorial innovation and investigation. How might we integrate or pay homage to transnational networks and the experienced realities of those traveling across and among them? 

Recently, digital networks have become conceptual, methodological, and practical tools for many art historians and curators – how do these emergent networks function with or against preexisting systems? How has the advent of a virtual infrastructure influenced theories, approaches, and experiences of physical places and objects? 

 ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING & PANELISTS TO BE ANNOUNCED

10:00 – 10:30 / Welcome and Introduction

10:30 – 11:45 / Panel 1: Border Crossings: Passage and Blockage

Borders are the outer limits of a given physical or conceptual space; they are usually considered in terms of the areas they define, rather than spaces or entities in their own right. In the age of Brexit, mass migration of refugees, right-wing campaigns for tightened border security, academic boycotts, and visa control, borders have become focal points in our contemporary zeitgeist. This inaugural panel of the fall series takes the title of this program as a more literal object of critique. Ever-changing border politics can complicate visa acquisition for traveling academics and artists, lead to internet and media censorship in certain countries, and threaten cultural artifacts in war-torn or environmentally-unstable regions: what happens when artists and artworks cross – or cannot cross – borders and boundaries? When the movement of people and objects is increasingly monitored and sanctioned, is global or world art possible?

11:45 – 12:15 / Break

12:15 – 1:30 / Panel 2: Linguistic Dissonance

Language plays a crucial role in accessibility: it can build bridges or barriers. Language exists in a multiplicity of forms and structures, each carrying a constellation of unique meanings and associations. When a word or concept is translated from one language to another, some of its contents are irretrievably lost. How can we minimize entropy while communicating across linguistically-diverse disciplinary communities? On the other hand, can linguistic inconvertibility, misperception, and nuance be productive?

Art historians are expected to be proficient in languages relevant to their areas of study. What are the benefits and limits of polylingual scholarship, and to what extent should it be put into practice? What is absent when scholars are not proficient in non-colonial languages such as kiSwahili, Yoruba, Nahuatl, Tamazight (Berber), or local dialects? Beyond the verbal, this panel might also consider alternative forms of communication: how can we record and preserve ephemera such as movement and gesture, modulation and tone? 

1:30 – 2:30 / Lunch

2:30 – 3:45 / Panel 3: Area Focus: Expanding American Art

Is art history strengthened or attenuated by regional and geographic categories? How can the discipline adapt with shifting demographics, additive historical narratives, and geopolitical volatility? Can there exist a balance between global and local art histories?

The word “America” embodies such concerns in every sense of its use: as a name, identity, ideology, and place. We take this as a cogent opportunity to direct our focus to the evolution and plurality of America through an art historical lens. “America” is commonly used as a synonym of the United States: how might we benefit from a more complex, hemispheric understanding of America? How do we confront a discourse that has traditionally neglected the contributions of countless communities, such as First Nation, Latinx, African-American, Asian-American, and others? What are some challenges and limitations to expanding the scope of American art history, trans-historically and cross-culturally? What areas of expertise are – or should be – required of Americanist art historians and curators?

12:00 - 1:15 / Panel 1  What Do Objects Want?
Andrew Finegold (Moderator)
Joshua Cohen
Christian Scheidemann
Glenn Wharton
This panel looks at questions of global/international art history from the perspective of conservation, and technical art history. In addition to addressing technical concerns, participants will discuss whether more materialist methodologies (as demonstrated, in particular, by WJT Mitchell) can add to global art histories by locating discourse at the site of the art object itself or by charting the image's migrations, afterlife, appropriation, or reception in new contexts.

1:15 – 2:15 / Break

2:15 - 3:30 / Panel 2  Inside Out: New Art Histories
Steven Nelson (Moderator)
Clare Davies
Yukio Lippit
Alexander Nagel
Shelley Rice
Arguably, the field of global art history has developed since the mid-1980s largely as a critique of modernist Eurocentric narratives, challenging such prevailing discourses as avant-garde originality and the binary structures of East/West, modern/tradition, high art/folk art.  Still, the “history” under review often follows the familiar trajectory from Dada to Surrealism to Abstraction to Conceptualism. How can we recuperate movements germane to a particular region or culture and write them into a larger history of modern art? At museums, how can we make this work in displays and acquisition programs?

3:30 – 3:45 / Break
Coffee, tea, and refreshments available to everyone in the Loeb Room

3:45 - 5:00 / Panel 3   In Transit: Distribution and Circulation
Ming Tiampo (Moderator)
Bruce Altshuler
Rafal Niemojewski
Ksenia Nouril
The last several decades have seen the rise of biennials and international art fairs in “non-Western” regions. What is the impact of “biennialism” and global museums on contemporary art? Has the West/non-West binary been genuinely disrupted or restructured, or have other art worlds simply become “Westernized” in this process? Is there an impact on artistic style? This panel interrogates both the discursive and economic implications of the “globalization” of art.

5:00 - 5:30 / Brainstorm directions for fall workshop sessions
