It’s About Time: Temporality in Visual Culture, Rutgers Art History Graduate Student Symposium

The Rutgers Art History Graduate Student Organization has convened this conference to address the ways art and visual culture to speak across, through, and out of time. By confronting the traditional “period eye” lens of critical analysis, this symposium seeks to challenge conventional approaches to time and objects and foster a community of scholars who are rethinking this framework. It identifies the issue of the temporal as both a particularly rich cultural concept and an opportunity for identifying and developing new theoretical frameworks.
