?Notions of 'Order' and 'Disorder' in the City?

Saturday, October 9, 2010
Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
800 S. Halsted, Chicago, IL 60607

The Art History Graduate Student Association (AHGSA) at the University
of Illinois at Chicago will host a graduate student symposium
exploring the city as a physical and conceptual space of engagement
between the "local" and the "global". The symposium aims to
investigate changing critical perspectives on these concepts as
historically and culturally contingent. The city is a dynamic and
complex place which enables opportunities and creates tensions between
the neighborhood and the world. How is the local and global manifest
in the built environment?
How do artists represent and intervene in urban space to re-inscribe
meaning? What role do art forms play in the construction of
identities? AHGSA invites proposals for innovative and
interdisciplinary scholarship that follow these and other lines of
inquiry. We welcome submissions which address these issues in art,
architecture and design from all periods and geographic regions.

Paper Submissions: Please submit a CV and a 300 word abstract for a
twenty-minute paper by May 21, 2010 via email UICsymposiumgmail.com.
Accepted participants will be notified by July 1, 2010. Final papers
including images will be submitted to the organizers in advance to the
symposium.j
