    2020-2021 Newsletter Department of Art History the Graduate Center, Cuny

    2020-2021 NEWSLETTER DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY THE GRADUATE CENTER, CUNY 1 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dear GC Art History Community, The 2020-21 academic year has been, well, challenging for all of us at the GC, as I imagine it has for you. The building—boarded up in November for the elections—is still largely off-limits to students and faculty; the library is closed; classes and meetings have been almost exclusively virtual; and beyond the GC, many of us have lost friends, family, or jobs due to the pandemic and its repercussions. Through it all, we have struggled to keep our community together and to support one another. I have been extraordinarily impressed by how well students, faculty, and staff in the program have coped, given the circumstances, and am I hopeful for the future. This spring, we will hold our rst in-person events—an end-of-year party and a graduation ceremony for 2020 and 2021 Ph.D.s, both in Central Park—and look forward to a better, less remote fall. I myself am particularly looking forward to fall, as I am stepping down as EO and taking a sabbatical. I am grateful to all of you for your help, advice, and patience over the years, and hope you will join me in welcoming my successor, Professor Jennifer Ball. Before getting too excited about the future, though, a few notes on the past year. In fall 2020, we welcomed a brave, tough cohort of ten students into the Ph.D. Program. They have forged tight bonds through coursework and a group chat (not sure if that's the right terminology; anyway, it's something they do on their phones).

    Myths to Live By: Uncovering the Veiled Past of Actress/Artist Minnie Ashley by Roy Collins William A

    Myths to Live By: Uncovering the Veiled Past of Actress/Artist Minnie Ashley by Roy Collins William A. Chanler, Editor On or about June 16th, 1845, 17-year-old Bridget Lyons set sail by ferry from County Cork, Ireland to Liverpool, England. From Liverpool she gained passage aboard the packet ship Concordia, bound for Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. The year 1845 marked the beginning of the ill-fated Potato Famine in Ireland, a dark period that would last six years. It brought mass starvation, poverty, and a multitude of deaths across the island. During the famine period, it was typical for Irish families to send their able-bodied children to seek opportunity in Europe and across the Atlantic to North America. The exact location of the residence where Bridget had resided in County Cork remains uncertain. We know only Photo circa 1898 by Benjamin Falk that later in life Bridget Lyons (then Bridget Tully) would marry John Campbell in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1861. On that marriage record her father was listed as William Lyon and her mother as Catherine (Curly) Lyon. The letter “S” at the end of the surname may have been dropped when transcribed by the town clerk as it was the only time the surname was spelled without the “S.” Most emigres traveled to the United States and Canada on the well-established Mc Corkell Line which offered sea-worthy sailing ships equipped to haul both passengers and freight. Depending upon the fare paid for passage, emigres had the choice of either a small cabin or state room, comparable in size to a small hotel room.

    The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision

    The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision Marie-François-Régis Gignoux (1814–1882) Mammoth Cave, Kentucky , ca. 1843 Oil on canvas Gift of an Anonymous Donor, X.21 After training at the French École des Beaux-Arts , Gignoux immigrated to the United States, where he soon established himself as a landscape specialist. He was drawn to a vast underground system of corridors and chambers in Kentucky known as Mammoth Cave. The site portrayed has been identified as the Rotunda—so named because its grand, uninterrupted interior space recalls that of the Pantheon in Rome. Gignoux created a romantic image rooted in fact and emotion. In contrast to the bright daylight glimpsed through the cavern mouth, the blazing fire impresses a hellish vision that contemporaneous viewers may have associated with the manufacture of gunpowder made from the bat guano harvested and rendered in vats in that very space since the War of 1812. William Trost Richards (1833–1905) June Woods (Germantown) , 1864 Oil on linen The Robert L. Stuart Collection, S–127 Richards followed the stylistic trajectory of the Hudson River School early in his career, except for a brief time in the early 1860s, when he altered his technique and compositional approach in response to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics of the English critic John Ruskin. Ruskin’s call for absolute fidelity to nature manifested itself in the United States in a radical 1 group of artists who formed the membership of the Association for the Advancement of Truth in Art, to which Richards was elected in 1863.

This shift represents a transformation in museum culture and an increase in curated live performance. Performing the Museum: Displaying Gender and Archiving Labor, from Performance Art to Theater contributes to emerging debates in performance studies that seek to understand how performance is impacted by museums. This project, however, does not look solely at performance in museum spaces. Rather, it is one of the first to align contemporary museum performance with theatrical works that dramatize the creation and subsequent museum exhibition of visual art. The project examines work by Marina Abramović, Asco, Guillermo Goméz-Peña, Maria Hassabi, and the musical Sunday in the Park ii with George.
