Clark Conversation: How Queer Is Art History?
April 5, 2008
5:30 pm
Over the course of the weekend a group of scholars will convene at the Clark to discuss the complex and controversial subject of the relationship between homosexuality, queer theory and queer studies, and the discipline of art history. In recent years, queer theory has challenged some basic premises of the humanities, and the group assembled at the Clark include many of the scholars who were pioneers of thinking about how sexual identity inflects the way we write art history and the way art is made and understood. This public conversation will be a summary of the group’s findings of the previous two days. The conveners of the colloquium are artist and scholar Jonathan Weinberg and Flavia Rando of Brooklyn College.
