UCLA Art History Graduate Student Symposium: Alterations
HAMMER | 9 a.m., Hammer Museum
In parks and other public areas, paths caused by erosion and foot traffic form alternate routes and shortcuts, defying preplanned routes such as sidewalks and roads. What are the consequences of such alterations? And how do these modifications function as objects or images? At this symposium, emerging scholars across disciplines address the history and aesthetics of public alterations of surfaces, structures, subjects, and systems as they relate to art and art history.
Generously co-sponsored by the UCLA Department of Art History and UCLA Design Media Arts, with support from the Fowler Museum, the Hammer Museum and the UCLA GSA.
This event is presented by the Hammer Museum at UCLA.
Event Date: Friday, Oct. 19, 9 a.m.
Venue: Hammer Museum
Price: Free
The Hammer is located at the corner of Westwood and Wilshire boulevards in Westwood Village, three blocks east of the 405 freeway’s Wilshire exit.
