This conference considers the problem of redefining American art history in response to developments in hemispheric and global studies. It considers the importance of artistic production beyond the borders of the United States and of hyphenated ethnic groups (African-American, Latin-American, etc.) within these borders to understanding and defining American art. How can scholars, departments, and institutions respond to these new dimensions of the field? In what ways can pedagogical approaches be modified to address these issues? This State-of-the-Art Mellon Conference celebrates the work of Janet Berlo, who will offer a keynote address “Cosmopolitan, Native, Vernacular: Toward a More Inclusive American Art History.” Conference participants: Sarah Burns (Indiana University), Darby English (University of Chicago), Tomas Ybarra-Frausto (Rockefeller Foundation), Anthony Lee (Mount Holyoke College), Katherine Manthorne (CUNY), Angela Miller (Washington University-St. Louis), Gerardo Mosquera (New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York), and Gwendolyn Dubois Shaw (University of Pennsylvania). Advance registration is recommended.
