SUMMARY:Walter Hopps Colloquium with Julian Myers\, October 20\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Walter Hopps Colloquium\, an ongoing series of lectures and discussions in modern and contemporary art\, funded in part via the Hopps Chair\, will begin with a lecture on artist Edward Keinholz\, with whom Hopps founded the Ferus Gallery in 1957. \nThis fall quarter\, the colloquia will run alongside Professor George Baker’s graduate seminar AH232 Contemporary Art\, which proposes to reexamine and open up LA art history in the 1960s and 70s by thinking it through global and other networks. \nPlease save the date and invite any who you think may wish to attend. \nJulian Myers\, “Sadism on Tour\, or: Kienholz at Documenta” \nProduced at the height of his fame and among a sprawling cohort of family and friends\, Edward Kienholz’s ambitious tableau Five Car Stud depicted a horrific scene: the graphic castration of a Black man by life-sized figures wearing masks of Hollywood monsters. “Sadism on Tour” tells the story of the tableau’s early 1970s realizations: its staging in the parking lot of Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles; its documentation book; and its first public showing\, after some failed attempts\, at the German exhibition documenta 5. Once described as a “three-dimensional representation of a lynching photograph\,” this lecture grapples with the estrangements within this realism\, including those that surfaced as the artist’s phantasmatic portrait of American violence met a European audience. \nJulian Myers is an art historian and editor based in Los Angeles. Myers was founding faculty in the Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice at California College of the Arts\, 2003–20\, and was senior editor of the journal The Exhibitionist\, 2014–17. Myers’s edited volume of writings by curator and museum director Zdenka Badovinac\, Comradeship: Art\, Curating\, and Politics in Post-Socialist Europe\, was published by ICI in 2019. Recent and forthcoming writings include essays on Arthur Jafa\, Christina Fernandez\, Nancy Holt\, the Société Anonyme\, and the history of the art center as a laboratory. Since 2011\, Myers has worked with Joanna Szupinska in the collaboration grupa o.k. They have produced critical and curatorial projects for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Muzeum Sztuki\, Łódź\, Poland\, and other institutions.

SUMMARY:"Asia is One" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Asia is One\nDirected by Nihon Documentarist Union\nJapan\, 1973\, 16mm transferred to digital format\, 96 minutes \nFriday June 6 2025\, 6:30 pm\nDodd 147\nOpen to the Public \nIn Japanese\, Chinese\, and Atayal with English Subtitles by Keung Yoon Bae\, Kimberley Sanders\, and Mayako Liu \nFilmed just prior to Okinawa’s reversion to Japanese control in 1972 the student film collective Nihon Documentarist Union (1968-73) produced Asia is One (1973) as their final collaborative film in a trajectory that took them from the streets of Tokyo during the height of student protests to the islands south of mainland Japan. NDU was formed by students at Waseda University and sought a radical mode of filmmaking based on horizontal relations between members that lent their works an amateur quality opposed to the hierarchies that structured the cinema verité works by contemporaneous film collective Ogawa Productions. Their works are radical thematically\, too\, addressing the lasting effects of Japanese imperialism during the height of the postwar Japanese state’s collusion with the American Cold War political and economic order. In their own words\, “We are not just criticizing ‘nationalism’ or ‘xenophobia\,’ we must introduce and make our own ‘cosmopolitanism’ (sekaisei) by ‘transgressing’ national borders in a real way” (translated by Alexander Zahlten). \nIn Asia is One\, NDU follows migrant workers and marginalized communities across the waters from Okinawa’s Iriomote to Yonaguni and eventually Taiwan\, where they encounter the indigenous Atayal tribe. Highlighting moments of mixed belonging and transitional identity—former colonial miners turned fisherman\, farmers\, and smugglers or the Atayal village’s continued daily broadcast of the Japanese military song Umi ga ukaba at noon—the film troubled nationalism through concrete examples of the flows of labor\, capital\, culture\, and bodies across the islands that had\, themselves\, been traversed by shifting national borders. \nAlthough NDU was important in its day\, its legacy was sidelined for decades and has only been significantly reassessed over the past fifteen years. Just digitized this year with subtitles by film and media historian Alexander Zahlten\, this screening of Asia is One is a rare opportunity to see this important but underappreciated independent film from a critical moment in the reassessment of Japan’s colonial legacies in the Pacific. \nOrganized in conjunction with Art History C151 and 185\, the screening will follow a short introduction by Dr. Nina Horisaki-Christens. This event is made possible by the Yanai Initiative and film distributor Kobe Planet Film Archive\, and the film was digitized by the Japanese Amateur Film Archive. \nFor inquiries\, contact nhorichris@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:UCLA Art Council Distinguished Scholar Lecture featuring Mark Godfrey
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Art History proudly presents the UCLA Art Council Distinguished Scholar Lecture featuring Mark Godfrey\, Director\, New Curators\, and guest curator of Kerry James Marshall: The Histories\, Royal Academy of Arts\, London. \nIn his talk\, “Kerry James Marshall: The Histories” Godfrey discusses: \n“The ‘histories’ in play in Marshall’s practice are multiple and intertwining. He thinks about the histories of painting’s conventions and genres. He considers the histories of materials that painters have used for centuries\, like egg tempera\, and those they have not\, like glitter; the histories of perspective and flatness\, of brushwork and gesture. While he is most known for confronting the exclusion of Black subjects in the history of figurative painting and in modernist abstraction\, in several projects he has looked back at the history of the inclusion of Black figures\, and at earlier attempts to forge a Black aesthetic\, and at the histories of Afrofuturism. Marshall occasionally touches on personal history\, more frequently attends to individuals who have been forgotten\, and increasingly provokes questions about history that few others wish to confront. Marshall has worked on all these levels since 1980 because he recognises this is what it takes for ambitious work to be taken seriously and exhibited\, because he regrets the way several Black artists before him have been romanticized precisely because of their disconnection from art history\, and because he wagers that his layered approach to history will mean his work is taken seriously for centuries to come.” \nThe talk will occur on Monday\, December 9\, at 4 PM in the Laureate Room of the Luskin Conference Center.

SUMMARY:UCLA Arts Council Distinguished Scholar Sally Stein Presents Her Second Talk on April 16th
DESCRIPTION:Sally Stein\, the UCLA Arts Council Distinguished Scholar Lecturer for 2024\, will deliver her second talk in this two-lecture series on Tuesday\, April 16th.   \nPlease join us for her upcoming talk entitled\, “For Pleasure or Profit & Power? The Beckoning (& still early reckoning) of Color in Interwar American Mass Media & Culture.” \nAfter a brief consideration of one photographer’s rather surprising embrace of color photography – for the photographer in question\, Gisèle Freund\, had quite recently in the mid 1930s published the first doctoral thesis on nineteenth century photography’s development in which she denounces all additions of color – this lecture broadens its focus to consider the interwar emergence of modern color in mass media in a comparative international context. \nThe event will be held in Royce 306 from 4 to 6pm\, with a reception to follow. \nAll are welcome to attend! \nFor more details regarding this lecture\, please check out the event page here.

SUMMARY:March 30 symposium to explore what we don’t talk about when we talk about hate
DESCRIPTION:This event which is sponsored by the UCLA Department of English\, will propose that a range of disciplines across the humanities have shared and suggestive investments in questions of hatred. We will explore hatred as a human emotion not as it is simply decried or enabled in particular works of art\, but as it is in different ways put to use. In particular\, we will explore the uses of hatred in criticism: of art\, literature and culture. The day will bring together scholars and critics in literature and the visual arts\, who are also invested in a range of disciplines including psychoanalysis\, queer theory\, philosophy and anthropology\, in order to discuss hatred in\, and the hatred of\, a range of creative media. \nEach presentation will be followed by discussion with the audience\, and the day will end with a final roundtable reflection on hatred and the humanities. \nRegister here to attend the symposium. \nFor any questions\, please direct these to David Russell (djrussell@ucla.edu) or Sarah Kareem (kareem@humnet.ucla.edu).

SUMMARY:UCLA Arts Council Distinguished Scholar Lecture with Sally Stein
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Art History presents the UCLA Arts Council Distinguished Scholar Lecturer for 2024: Sally Stein. \nSally Stein\, Professor Emerita\, Department of Art History & Visual Studies\, UC Irvine\, will deliver a talk entitled “The Cons and Pros of Portraiture In Contemporary Art Discourse and Practice”. \nStein reconsiders the now-classic essays by Benjamin H.D. Buchloh denouncing the social value of the art of portraiture which\, to that critic’s dismay\, refuses to wither away with the development of twentieth century abstract art. Stein introduces a number of factors for portraiture’s resilience after the rise of abstraction.

SUMMARY:2023 Gretchen Taylor Millson Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Art History is pleased to announce Hollis Clayson’s “The Dark Side of the Eiffel Tower” as the 2023 Gretchen Taylor Millson Lecture. \nThe lecture will examine aspects of the famous Parisian Tower’s past that have been forgotten or erased including a stint as the prime focus of French industry anxiety\, service as the tallest symbol on earth of triumphant French colonialism\, and a proposed function as an instrument of brightly illuminated surveillance. \nThis year’s Millson Lecture will be held on Monday\, May 15th at the UCLA Faculty Center. \nClayson was trained as an art historian at Wellesley College (B.A.) and UCLA (M.A. and Ph.D.). She is currently the 2022-23 R. Stanton Avery Distinguished Fellow at the Huntington Library\, as well as the Professor Emerita of Art History and Bergen Evans Professor Emerita in the Humanities at Northwestern University. Clayson hopes that “The Dark Side of the Eiffel Tower”\, a critical account of the inescapabilty of the world’s most visited (paid) tourist attraction\, will historicize and lessen or at least problematize the gravitational pull of the modern anchor of the Lure of Paris. \nThe Gretchen Taylor Millson Distinguished Lectureship was established in memory of UCLA alumnus\, Gretchen Millson\, in December 2009 by her husband\, Dr. John J. Millson. Gretchen graduated from UCLA with a BA from the Art Department in 1961. This endowed fund provides much-needed resources to the department to allow us to grow and continue our long-standing tradition of excellence.

SUMMARY:Lecture by the Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Claudia Zapata
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Art History presents a lecture by the Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Claudia Zapata on Tuesday\, May 2 at 4 PM in Dodd 275. All are welcome! \nTheir talk is entitled “Latine/x and Chicanx Artists in Web3.” \nDescription \nWeb3 is an aspirational and present technological shift and social movement to create a new internet architecture that emphasizes a decentralized web experience to improve democratization and ownership of data. The movement’s definable characteristics include increased integration of XR (extended reality)\, an umbrella term for augmented\, virtual\, and mixed reality technologies; an economic transformation through decentralized finance (DeFi); and the experiential space of the “metaverse\,” a real-time virtual territory of social\, digital engagement. I examine the Latine/x and Chicanx contributions to this next digital chapter ranging from the XR innovator Nonny de la Peña\, top-selling NFT generative artist Itzel Yard\, and J. Balvin’s reggaetón metaverse experiences\, among others. What kind of traditional art narrative disruption\, unprecedented economic access\, and activist lens can these new digital spaces provide for Latine/x and Chicanx artists and creators? I navigate a nascent but rapidly changing virtual environment to articulate the next chapter of art media and the ever-pressing need to analyze the impact of this digital expansion in Latine/x and Chicanx art history and visual culture.
