Praised during his lifetime as “Prince of Painters” (pictorum princeps), a description rendered indelible by Giorgio Vasari, this characterization long served to obscure Raphael’s artistic achievements in other modes. He was in reality an impresario in many media: revered in his own day as Rome’s chief architect, Raphael was also an urbanist and a designer of landscape, as well as of sculpture, silver, prints, and tapestries. A series of international conferences and exhibitions held in 1983-84, the quincentenary of the artist’s birth, was a watershed in Raphael studies, and in the intervening years, building on those events and publications, new understandings of Raphael have begun to take form, not only as a designer in an array of media, but also in terms of his collaboration with other artists, patrons, advisors, and literati. This conference dedicated to Raphael brings together established and emerging scholars to take stock of what has been accomplished in the past 37 years, to assess current approaches to his astonishingly innovative, diverse and influential body of work, to present new research, and to chart directions for further study. Expanding upon well-established lines of inquiry, the program reflects new approaches to the quintessential old master. https://connect.vassar.edu/s/1654/2/16/interior-ai.aspx?sid=1654&pgid=5339&gid=2&cid=8797 &ecid=8797&post_id=0 Tues 2 A Talk by Jeffrey Kroessler: A Tale of Two Waterworks NYC H2O Chief Librarian of the Lloyd Sealy Library, John Jay College of Criminal Justice In conjunction with the current Community Partnership Exhibition Ridgewood Reservoir for the 21st Century situated around the historic Watershed Model at the Queens Museum, we are pleased to host A Tale of Two Waterworks, talk by Jeffrey Kroessler presented by NYC H2O. The presentation will be followed by Q&A with attendees. The history of the water systems of New York City and the once independent City of Brooklyn is not only a story of engineering triumph, but a story about the public spirit. Clean water was essential for economic prosperity, health, sanitation, and municipal growth. When New York reached into Westchester and the Catskills for water sources, and when the City of Brooklyn tapped the Long Island aquifer, what were the environmental, economic and political factors in play? A Tale of Two Waterworks will explore the history of the two water systems, how and why they were built, how they determined the city’s future, and the story behind their unification. Event Type: Lecture ​ Date & Time: Tuesday, March 2nd from 6pm to 7:15pm ​ Venue: Virtual ​ Fee: Free ​ REGISTER Nerea Calvillo: Feminist Sensing to Land in Aeropolis Cooper Union Architect Nerea Calvillo Aeropolis is a conceptual, methodological and discursive framework to think about air pollution as a material, situated, embodied and socio-technical assemblage. Drawing on feminist and queer literature, the concept of “attuned sensing” challenges what counts as evidence in toxic regimes, who does the sensing and what exactly is being sensed. “Attuned sensing” will be put to work through experimental interventions developed at C+ arquitectas and the collaborative project In The Air, to multiply the spaces of intervention in and within our polluted world. Nerea Calvillo’s research explores the material, technological, political and social dimensions of environmental pollution at the intersection between architecture, feminist studies of technoscience, new materialisms and queer political ecologies. Calvillo established the architecture firm C+arquitectas, based in Madrid and London, and initiated in 2008 the collaborative research project In the Air, to explore different forms of sensing air pollution. Her work has been published and exhibited in international venues, like the Royal Academy of Arts (UK), Canadian Centre for Architecture (CA), Laboral Centro de Arte y Produccion Industrial (SP) or the Contemporary Art Museum of Santiago de Chile (CH). Calvillo is an associate professor at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (University of Warwick) and is currently working on the manuscript of Aeropolis.
