Join us for a HESCAH lecture by Dr. Nell Andrew, Professor and Chair of Art History at the University of Georgia.Location: Chandler Auditorium at the Harn Museum of Art
Topic: "Dis-located Bodies: The Puppet in the Avant-Garde Imagination"
This talk explores Dr. Andrew’s current research on the avant-garde’s playful and political mobilization of puppets, marionettes, dolls and masks in interwar Europe. Her work aims to expand the objects and methods of art history by focusing on the nature and actions of both material and ephemeral art objects; the sensory systems involved in perception and reception; the concept of abstraction; and the gendered bias of art historical formalism and modernist medium-specificity. The multi-disciplinary nature of Professor Andrew’s research has led her to probe disciplinary assumptions and traditions that separate the study of the arts and humanities. This event is free and open to the public.
