THE YEAR 2010 MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DECADE in 21st-century art
historical investigation and an ideal moment for a reassessment of
historical objects, issues, and methods, as well as an acknowledgement of
newer works of art and criticism developed across disciplines, periods,
media and practice boundaries. We trust that the sessions here announced
will encourage that process of reassessment. Papers that address or employ
new methods and issues are welcome, but equally important will be
state-of-the-discipline investigations and critical assessments that may be
uni- or multi-disciplinary, object-based, pedagogical, interrogative,
theoretical, or performative.
