FILM SCREENING: Thursday, November 7 at 7:00 PM in

FILM SCREENING: Thursday, November 7 at 7:00 PM in SAB 118A
Professor Beth Wilson, currently teaching an Art History Special Topics course,"Photography and Land/scape in the Anthropocene," will host a free screening of Manufactured Landscapes, a film by Jennifer Bachiwal.

ABOUT THE FILM: Manufactured Landscapes is the winner of Best Canadian Feature Film at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. It is a striking documentary on the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky.

Internationally acclaimed for his large-scale photographs of “manufactured landscapes”—quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams—Burtynsky creates stunningly beautiful art from civilization’s materials and debris. The film follows him through China, as he shoots the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. With breathtaking sequences, such as the opening tracking shot through an almost endless factory, the filmmakers also extend the narratives of Burtynsky’s photographs, allowing us to meditate on our impact on the planet and
witness both the epicenters of industrial endeavor and the dumping grounds of its waste. In the spirit of such environmentally enlightening sleeper-hits as An Inconvenient Truth and Rivers and Tides, Manufactured Landscapes powerfully shifts our consciousness about the world and the way we live in it, without simplistic judgments or reductive resolutions.

Tuesday, November 12, at 5PM in Lecture Center 108

Tuesday, November 12, at 5PM in Lecture Center 108, all are welcome to join the Department of Art History, Professor Reva Wolf, and students from our capstone course, Art History: Theories and Approaches, for a guest lecture by Daniel Belasco, entitled, "All-Women Exhibitions: An Emerging Method of Art Historical Research." Dr. Belasco, Executive Director of the Al Held Foundation and former curator at The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, will discuss his fascinating new book, Women Artists in Midcentury America: A History in Ten Exhibitions (University of Chicago Press, 2024), and its exciting contribution to the methodology of feminist art history.

Attendees may purchase a copy of Women Artists in Midcentury America for $30.

From the Publisher:
Women Artists in Midcentury America: A History in Ten Exhibitions tells the untold story of women artists in the United States and the social impact of their work during the crucial decades of the 1950s to the 1970s.

Readers embark on a journey spanning two decades, delving into the evolving social and artistic landscapes through the lens of all-women exhibitions. These groundbreaking projects courageously confronted issues of sexual and racial discrimination, igniting profound discussions about women’s roles within modernism and democracy. Looking closely at the inception and reception of these exhibitions by curators, artists, critics, and the public, the book sheds light on the remarkable contributions of numerous artists, from Ruth Asawa to Marguerite Zorach. By foregrounding the accomplishments of women artists during a conservative period overshadowed by the feminist movement of the 1970s, Daniel Belasco provides a fresh perspective on the complex history of women’s art in America and its significance in the broader art world.

From Choice:
Women Artists in Midcentury America is a timely and essential contribution to art historical knowledge of women artists and the wide variety of institutions that supported them with all-women shows from 1943 to 1962.... it also puts many new artists, works of art, and exhibition venues on the scholarly radar....
