Terry Smith to Discuss "Contemporary Art in the Conditions of Contemporaneity" April 17
Terry Smith, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory at the University of Pittsburgh, will discuss "Contemporary Art in the Conditions of Contemporaneity" on Thursday, April 17 at 4:30 p.m. in Stahr Auditorium Stager Hall.
The talk is sponsored by the Center for Liberal Arts and Society and is free and open to the public.
From 1994-2001, Smith was Power Professor of Contemporary Art and Director of the Power Institute, Foundation for Art and Visual Culture, University of Sydney. He was a member of the Art & Language group (New York) and a founder of Union Media Services (Sydney). A foundation board member of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, he is currently a board member of the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh.
In 1996 he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and a Membre Titulaire of the Comite International d'Histoire de l'Art. His major research interests are world contemporary art, including its institutional and social contexts; the histories of multiple modernities and modernisms; the history and theory of contemporaneity; and the historiography of art history and art criticism. He has special expertise in international contemporary art (practice, theory, institutions, markets), American visual cultures since 1870, and Australia art since settlement, including Aboriginal art. Current graduate students under his supervision are working on topics such as critical global practices, alternative avant-gardes, cultural policy, and art writing. He teaches the open course Introduction to Contemporary Art, and a graduate seminar on modernity and contemporaneity.
