• Global Objects: Towards a Connected Art History

  Jun 4

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Loria Center | Room: 351 — 190 York St.

  Edward S. Cooke, Jr. '77, Charles F. Montgomery Professor of American Decorative Arts

  Avoiding traditional binaries such as East versus West or fine art versus decorative art and prioritizing transregional flow over stylistic categorization, this lecture sketches in the principles of a new art history survey course. The principles of this object-driven approach draw on in-depth analysis of the materials, process of realization, function, social lives, and experienced meaning of clay, fiber, wood, and base metals. Transcending nation state and temporal boundaries, this conceptualization points the way to a fresh interconnected global history of art.
