The BGC community was well represented in Chicago at the 102nd Annual Conference of the College Art Association.
Faculty included Andrew Morrall who organized a session on the “object” in the Renaissance; Ivan Gaskell who spoke on material culture and its intersection with history, art history, anthropology, and philosophy; and Amy Ogata who gave a paper on nineteenth-century money and metal.
Alumni were also in abundance. Michelle Hargrave (MA 2004) organized a panel on the academic and the curator; Freyja Hartzell (MA 2005) spoke on German notions of the object and the work of Richard Riemerschmid; Haneen Rabie (MA 2009) discussed the question of reuse, patina, and contemporary design; and Monica Obniski (MA 2006) spoke on the Chicago retailer Baldwin Kingrey and the influence of Scandinavian design in the US. Jonathan Tavares (MA 2007, PhD 2013) gave a paper on print culture and a seventeenth-century rifle and co-hosted a session examining prints and armor at the Art Insititute of Chicago.
