The Venetian World in Six Impressions: Jacopo de’ Barbari’s View of Venice
Sunday, February 5, 2023 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
The de’Barbari six-block woodcut view of Venice is one of the great conceptual and technological achievements of its time. The view, which is still viable today as a plan of Venice, was created by a team of artisans working under the guidance of the master.
To produce this monumental view of the city, new innovations were necessary in both papermaking and printing. A careful exploration of the woodcut reveals significant information about how the city viewed itself in the context of Italy at the turn of the sixteenth century.

Query: Evidence of Color Research with Daniel Lefcourt
April 12, 6:30 p.m.
Lefcourt will present on his project Query: Evidence of Color Research. Query is a set of large-format digital prints that accumulate long-term color research into digitally rendered scientific displays. The displays, which create a “laboratory” of real objects and digitally fabricated images, undermine the concept of scientific authority using humor and deception. For Lefcourt, presenting evidence of research isn’t only a requirement for recipients of academic funding; it is an opportunity to play with the very idea of “evidence.”

Collecting, Curating, and Consuming American Popular Graphic Arts Yesterday and Today, including a keynote lecture by Makeda Best, Harvard Art Museums, continues the conversation started through Imperfect History.

Collecting, Curating, and Consuming asks how does historical American popular graphic art act as a mirror, bridge, and barrier in facilitating our visual conceptions of our past and present?
