A podcast from the Research and Academic Program
What does it mean to make art history? Today more than ever, we must consider the role of art in society, how knowledge is shared (or obscured), and the way histories are made—and unmade. In the Foreground: Conversations on Art & Writing asks these questions, while also considering the personal stakes of scholarship. Each episode offers a lively, in-depth look into the life and mind of a scholar or artist working with art historical or visual material. Discussions touch on guests’ current research projects, career paths, and significant texts, mentors, and experiences that have shaped their thinking. We invite you to join us in and listen in on these conversations about the stakes of doing art history today.
In the Foreground is available on iTunes, Spotify, and anywhere else you may listen to podcasts.
Tune in to our other mini-series, In the Foreground: Object Studies, in which art historians offer short meditations on a single work of art.
