In celebration of the Terra Summer Residency’s tenth anniversary and as a tribute to the foundation’s mission to foster exploration of American art across national boundaries, the international symposium, “Geographies of Art: Sur le Terrain,” will examine the state of the field of American art in a global context. For three days, prominent art historians and artists will explore the cultural and conceptual implications of such a context through papers and discussions that provide international perspectives and encourage lively exchange—the two fundamental premises of the Terra Summer Residency. The conference will address a number of broad questions, with each day shaped to more specifically reflect on issues of “geography” and art.
