Terra Conference „American Natures”
The symposium brings together scholars who are asking exciting questions about the “natures” of American art by examining the larger social and physical ecologies in which landscapes (and other artifacts) were made and received. While Nature has long been recognized as both an important concept and subject for American artists, this symposium seeks to develop a multi-threaded conversation around art and art-making as material entities and practices that are embedded in the larger environment, wherein “nature” and “culture” are inevitably entangled.
If you would like to attend, we ask that you kindly register per E-Mail to sekretariat-bluemle@hu-berlin. de by Wednesday, June 14.
