The Permanent Seminar in Latin American Art and the Center for Latin American Visual Studies present this lecture by Claire Fox.
"U.S.-Latin American Cultural Exchange in the Field of Art"
The Pan American Union's Visual Arts Section is well-known for itscuratorial projects in hemispheric art worlds during the Cold War p...eriod.This talk turns to the PAU cultural programs during the preceding years ofthe Good Neighbor Policy (ca. 1933-1945) in order to establish thepreconditions for visual art's entrance into the realm of liberalinternationalist cultural policy. I highlight the recruitment of LatinAmerican and Spanish intellectuals by US cultural institutions during WorldWar II; institutional connections among the PAU and US museums andgovernment agencies; and competing projects to consolidate the field of Latin American art on the part of US institutions. The pre-1945configuration of cultural exchange at the PAU ascribed an ideologized roleto contemporary visual art that cast a long shadow into the Cold War period,distinguishing art from other media favored by cultural diplomacy.Read More

"New Chapters in the History of the Parthenon: Recent Controversies and Byzantine Perspectives"
On the surface, the Parthenon is presented to us as an ancient monument. Yet never in its history has it symbolized so much as it does now: reason, democracy, moderation and other universal values, but also the particular ide...ntity of the Greek nation; western imperial power but also resistance to colonialism; and various brands of beer, sweets, and cars. Rarely do these invocations explain how exactly the Parthenon supports their claims, and many appear to contradict its original function. Greek neopagans have demanded it as a sacred site for the performance of their rituals, to which an archbishop of Athens, standing on its steps, responded by citing its history as a Christian church. A few months ago, a controversy erupted over a video to be played in the new Akropolis Museum showing (reconstructed) early Christian monks hacking away at the sculptures. From a newly recovered Byzantine vantage-point, this talk will offer heretical perspectives on the recent controversies surrounding the Parthenon's many meanings (ancient and modern) as well as on the canonical historical paradigms that are based on them.Read More

Justine Nagan is Kartemquin Films' Executive Director as well as a Producer on staff. With Kartemquin, she recently directed "Typeface," a documentary on American typography and graphic design. She also acted as the Associate Producer on Kartemquin's Peabody award winning documentary "Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra ...Incognita," which was broadcast nationally on PBS' "Independent Lens" in 2008, and as the Co-Producer of An All American City during its development phase.
There will be a screening of "Typeface" and a Q&A with Nagan after.
About the Film
------------------------------
In a time when people can carry computers in their pockets and watch TV while walking down the street, Typeface dares to explore the twilight of an analog craft that is freshly inspiring artists in a digital age. The Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI personifies cultural preservation, rural re-birth and the lineage of American graphic design. At Hamilton, international artisans meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique. But the Museum’s days are numbered. What is the responsibility of artists and historians to preserve a dying craft? How can rural towns survive in a shifting industrial marketplace where big-box retailers are king?

No Lone Zone is a performance exhibition series featuring past and present students from the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin.
By definition a no-lone-zone is a military term often used in nuclear sites describing an area where individuals must be in visual contact with each other a...nd with the object requiring a no-lone-zone area designation. The seven artists in this exhibition will examine the interpersonal intricacies of this militant security model through a series of performances exploring the spaces of the Creative Research Laboratory. During the extent of this exhibition, the CRL will be in a state of constant flux as participating artists manipulate, perform and transform the gallery into their own concept of a charged territory.
Featured artists include:
Mark Aguhar
Andrea Bonin
Kristina Felix
Ryan Lauderdale
Daphane Park
James Willard Pierce
Jen Frost Smith
In conjunction with the exhibition, the Creative Research Lab will collaborate with participating artists to create a reading room adjacent to the main gallery, containing materials pertinent to their practice as performance artists, as well as to the history of the medium.
Stay tuned to CRL's website for a schedule of performances and events associated with this exhibition.

"Andrea Mantegna circa 1460: Imitation and the Force of Images"
Andrea Mantegna (1430-1506) is examined as an artist with a distinctive consciousness of tradition. Tradition in his work encompasses the future of art, which he seeks actively to shape with his virtuoso demonstrations of the principles of painting and thro...ugh his engravings. His art is also a meditation on its own place in relation to the past and present—the signa and imagines of antiquity, the icons of the medieval church, and the modern practice of older contemporaries like Donatello. Such meditations are all motivated by an extraordinary concentration on one aspect of images in particular—their force or effectiveness in the world.Read More

A light, sharp political humor infuses the photographs of Shannon Ebner, an artist from Los Angeles. Ebner's work centers on a do-it-yourself alphabet of handmade letters and signs temporarily placed—and strategically displaced—in public contexts. The artist sets language in the service of photography, her cryptic mess...ages captured and fixed in black-and-white photographs. Populating actual yet uncertain landscapes or mise-en-scenes including California real estate sites, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the Washington Monument, these ephemeral signs spell out such darkly ambiguous phrases as "Landscape Incarceration," "The Doom," and "The Day-Sob-Dies."
Ebner's work has been included in Trace at The Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria, Uncertain States of America at The Serpentine Gallery in London, Learn to Read at the Tate Modern, London and the 2008 Whitney Biennial.Read More

Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit founded UnderConsideration in 2002 and have tended to its growth since then. Born and raised in Mexico City, both are graphic designers, currently running the Department of Design as UnderConsideration’s creative services outlet. When not working, writing or obsessing about design, Ar...min lectures on a range of topics in a range of cities—Bryony allows it, and even joins him on occasions, like their last joint talk in Venice, Italy.
Before establishing UnderConsideration Bryony and Armin had worked in the industry for ten years, accruing experience in various disciplines including corporate and brand identity, annual reports, business collateral, web design and programming, packaging, as well as magazine and book design. In their last employment positions they worked as senior designers for two of New York’s most prolific and recognized design firms, Addison and Pentagram, respectively. Their work has been recognized in numerous award publications and books, and they regularly serve on design juries for various national competitions as well. In 2006, one of their blogs was the only blog included in the Cooper-Hewitt’s National Design Triennial.Read More
