Panel Discussion on Untitled (History Painting): Painting and Public Life in the 21st Century
Is painting a viable means of addressing contemporary and historical events? The use and translation of photographic imagery in contemporary art and painting's role in a culture dominated by photographic and digital media will be among the issues considered by this panel. Jacob Proctor, Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, will lead a discussion with Jordan Kantor and Matt Saunders–artists featured in the exhibition–and colleagues from UM's Department of the History of Art.
