SUMMARY:UCLA Department of Art History Colloquium with Susan Dackerman\, May 6
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Department of Art History Colloquium with featured speaker Susan Dackerman on Wednesday\, May 6 at 1 PM in Dodd 275 for her talk\, The Paleontology of Print: Lithographic Limestone and the Nature of Reproducibility.  \nSummary: When in 1796\, the Munich playwright Alois Senefelder developed a method of printing from the surface of the local Bavarian limestone\, he was utilizing a material that had been reproducing indexical images for millions of years. The Jurassic-era limestone slabs were riddled with fossilized flora and fauna. The same year as Senefelder’s invention\, from study of the same Bavarian limestone\, the French naturalist Georges Cuvier recognized that some fossils in the stone were petrifications of species that were no longer extant\, establishing the idea of extinction. Prior to Cuvier\, fossils were imagined to be images made by Nature itself. Senefelder’s use of the local limestone was preceded by the stone’s use by regional sculptors such as Hans Daucher\, who around 1500 turned from marble to the native limestone because the characteristics of the stone suited precision carving. Many of the fossil-laden stone sculptures subsequently were used as templates to cast bronze copies\, conceptually replicating the stone’s capacity to cast fossils. Nearly 300 years later\, the stone’s generative potential again was exploited to make printed multiples known as lithographs. My paper imagines how examining the history of early modern sculpture and prints alongside the history of paleontology enables us to see how Nature\, and the contemporaneous historical theories that explicate it\, have informed the work of artists\, as well as shaped the history of print and replication. \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:Walter Hopps Colloquium with Jennifer Sichel\, November 17\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Please save the date for the next Hopps Colloquium. It will be a lecture and book event\, celebrating the publication of Jennifer Sichel’s new book from University of Chicago Press\, in the Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Collection series: Criticism Without Authority: Gene Swenson’s and Jill Johnston’s Queer Practices (2025). \nThe 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. \nJennifer Sichel\nUniversity of Louisville \nIn the 1960s\, Gene Swenson and Jill Johnston transformed art criticism into something much more expansive and unruly. Incorporating elements of poetry\, performance\, and protest\, they developed idiosyncratic practices that forged new ground\, politically and aesthetically. These critics were deeply enmeshed in New York’s avant-garde art scene\, and both were explicitly and unapologetically queer. This lecture and discussion will trace how Swenson and Johnston changed the course of artmaking as they refused norms of disciplined writing and authoritative voice. \nA graduate of Williams College and the University of Chicago art history programs\, Jennifer Sichel is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the University of Louisville’s Hite Institute of Art and Design\, and affiliated faculty in the Department of Interdisciplinary and Comparative Humanities. A scholar of 20th and 21st-century art history\, she focuses on practices that fall outside traditional genres of artmaking and develops methodologies in careful dialogue with queer and affect theory. Her book\, Criticism without Authority: Gene Swenson’s and Jill Johnston’s Queer Practices (University of Chicago Press\, 2025)\, traces how Swenson and Johnston reinvented criticism as a capacious practice by rejecting modernist appeals to purity and coherence. They devised new ways not only to describe experiments in art and performance\, but also to enact new queer sensibilities. At the same time\, they often failed to effect change or to see a bigger picture beyond their own triumphs and struggles. Criticism Without Authority makes their work visible not just as criticism\, but as its own form of art. \nSichel has published scholarly and critical writing in Selva: A Journal of the History of Art\, The Oxford Art Journal\, Sculpture Journal\, as well as in exhibition catalogues for museums including The Whitney Museum\, The Jewish Museum\, Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien\, and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. She is the author of “‘Do You Think Pop Art’s Queer?’ Gene Swenson and Andy Warhol” —a key queer intervention that changed art history’s understanding of Warhol’s practice through archival recovery\, and established Swenson’s importance as a queer writer and artist. Her research has been supported by fellowships from the Clark Art Institute\, Smithsonian Archives of American Art\, Terra Foundation for American Art\, and Humanities Division at the University of Chicago. \nReception to follow in the Art History and Classics Faculty Lounge.

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.
