How can we understand collaboration and collectivism as a radical political act? How does the work of art collectives challenge and interrogate art historical narratives and support civic transformation? Bard Graduate Center, Chinatown Art Brigade, and Gregory Sholette highlight the important work of past collectives and provide a discursive platform for contemporary collective work.

This three-part class fosters your understanding of objects by exploring the processes by which they are made. Join BGC PhD students, Geoffrey Ripert and Nicholas De Godoy Lopes, as they take you on a deep dive into the ways that color, rhythm, and shape influence our understanding of objects. Each session features a particular object (a nineteenth-century scenic panel on block-printed paper from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum; a fourteenth-century basin made of brass with gold and silver inlay from the Department of Islamic Arts at the Louvre, and a seventeenth-century ivory standing cup from the Metropolitan Museum of Art) and remarks by a BGC faculty member who will bring additional expertise to the topic.

Join BGC PhD students, Geoffrey Ripert and Nicholas De Godoy Lopes, as they take you on a deep dive into the ways that color, rhythm, and shape influence our understanding of objects. Each session features a particular object (a nineteenth-century scenic panel on block-printed paper from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum; a fourteenth-century basin made of brass with gold and silver inlay from the Department of Islamic Arts at the Louvre, and a seventeenth-century ivory standing cup from the Metropolitan Museum of Art) and remarks by a BGC faculty member who will bring additional expertise to the topic.</span></p>
