Title: Better Homes and Subjects: The Politics of Taste A Lecture by Ana María Reyes
learn more about Ana María Reyes's talkAna María Reyes will discuss her book The Politics of Taste: Beatriz González and Cold War Aesthetics (Duke 2019) in relation to the Colombian artist’s furniture assemblages. González repurposed domestic furniture to frame her enamel-on-metal paintings, drawing inspiration from Catholic altar-making traditions and engaging with global artistic practices like assemblages and ready-mades. Critics labeled González's furniture pieces as "cursi," reflecting societal anxieties about changing class structures and social practices during the Cold War, particularly in response to the artist's humorous and satirical approach to cultural and artistic norms. González's art practice, marked by a baroque sensibility, stands apart from the ephemeral and dematerialized gestures of her contemporaries in Latin America, challenging notions of taste, authenticity, and the porous boundary between public and private in the construction of subjectivities.
Ana María Reyes (PhD, University of Chicago) Associate Professor of Latin American Art History, Boston University and the Symbolic Reparations Research Project. Her books include The Politics of Taste: Beatriz González and Cold War Aesthetics (Duke, 2019) Simón Bolívar: Travels and Transformations of a Cultural Icon, co-edited with Maureen Shanahan (UPF, 2016) and To Weave and Repair: Aesthetics in Colombia’s Peace Process (in progress). She has worked with the Inter-American Court and Commission of Human Rights, Center for Justice and International Law, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Transitional Justice organizations in Colombia.

Speaker: Allison Caplan, Assistant Professor in the History of Art, Yale University
Title: De/Materializing Self: Nahua Precious Insignia and the Experiential Body
learn more about Allison Caplan's talkDescription: Among the Nahuas of Late Postclassic and early colonial central Mexico, precious materials played an integral role in manifestations of the divine. When layered and worn, devices of highly valued stones, feathers, shells, and gold gave rise to multisensory experiences that reconstituted the identity of their wearers as embodiments of sacred beings and phenomena. Surviving devices and Nahuatl textual descriptions of the experience of insignia worn on the body together provide insight into the maneuvers through which precious insignia underwent a type of dematerialization, becoming sensory experiences that simultaneously reconstituted the wearer's own body and self. In this talk, I focus on a set of Nahuatl-language texts that narrate the act of assembling precious insignia onto the body and the subsequent transformations through which precious material and dressed body alike became aesthetic experiences that were at once kinetic, visual, sonorous, and spatialized. Through this discussion, I trace the question of the material, thinking through the ways in which juxtaposition, motion, and sensoriality enabled bodies and precious materials alike to take on new forms as fully aesthetic experiences. Through this process, insignia helped produce bodies that manifested an experiential sense of self and new, expansive forms of identity and sociality.
Allison Caplan is an assistant professor in the History of Art at Yale. She is a scholar of the art of Late Postclassic and early colonial Mesoamerica, with a focus on the Nahuas of central Mexico. Her research centers on Nahua art theory and aesthetics, issues of materiality and value, and the relationship between visual expression and the Nahuatl language. Caplan received her Ph.D. and M.A. in Art History and Latin American Studies from Tulane University and her B.A. in Comparative Literature and Society from Columbia University. Previously, Caplan was an assistant professor in the History of Art and Architecture at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the inaugural Austen Stokes Ancient Americas Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University. Caplan is currently completing her first book, Our Flickering Creations: Concepts of Nahua Precious Art, which reconstructs Nahua theorizations of color, light, surface, and assemblage for art combining precious stones, feathers, and metals. Her work has also appeared in Ethnohistory, West 86'h, MAVCOR Journal, Golden Kingdoms: Luxury Arts in the Ancient Americas, The Routledge Companion to the Global Renaissance, and Mexico Tenochtitlan: Dynamism at the Center of the World. Caplan's research has been supported by grants and fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, the Getty Research Institute, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Series: Duke House Exhibition Opening
Title: Magali Lara: Interior Landscapes
learn more about Magali Lara: Interior LandscapesThe Institute of Fine Arts, New York University is pleased to announce the opening of its spring exhibition, Magali Lara: Interior Landscapes, on view in The James B. Duke House. Curated by Angelina Medina, Giovanni Falcone, Katie Svensson, and Vivian Wu, the exhibition presents four major paintings by Magali Lara, one of Mexico's most important living artists, highlighting her interior landscapes as acts of reclamation and healing. We hope you will join the curators at 6:30 PM for a tour and discussion of the Spring 2024 Duke House Exhibition.
Created between 1983 to 1995, the paintings on display in The James B. Duke House reflect the changing ways Lara articulated her own corporeal experiences and subjectivity. Her early domestic spaces grapple with memories of her childhood and the misogyny that surrounded her, while her later abstract works confront her personal experiences with grief and, simultaneously, consider the relationship between humans and the natural environment. Through her work, Lara contests the traditional expectations of women in Mexican society and proposes new avenues for expressing desire and recuperation.
The Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) provided funding and extensive archival and research support. The works on view are on generous loan from the ISLAA collection.
Special thanks to Professor Edward J. Sullivan, Dr. Madeline Murphy Turner, and Magali Lara for their support of this exhibition.

Series: Great Hall Exhibition
Title: Great Hall Exhibition Opening - Maia Ruth Lee: Once we leave a place is it there
learn more about the Great Hall ExhibitionThe Institute of Fine Arts is pleased to announce the opening of the 2024 Great Hall Exhibition, Once we leave a place is it there, featuring a new work by artist Maia Ruth Lee (b.1983, Busan, South Korea). The Spring 2024 iteration marks the return to in-person exhibitions since the start of the pandemic and proudly continues the Institute’s Great Hall Exhibition series’ commitment to celebrating the practices of exemplary women artists.
Shaped by her lived experiences of migration, Lee’s practice explores the friction and fragmentation that arises from assimilation through dislocation, alongside larger themes of community, borders, and language. At the center of the exhibition is Bondage Baggage Banner (2024), a new commission that brings to life marginalized histories within the historic architecture of the Institute’s Marica Vilcek Great Hall. Featuring banners, sculptures and a jesa-sang, a Korean offering table, the work blends traditions from Korean jesa, a ritual to commemorate ancestors, with public offerings quintessential to Buddhist monasteries in Nepal. The jesa-sang will hold Lee’s sculptures, alongside visitors’ personal contributions. Visitors are invited to partake in this communal offering and the installation’s gradual metamorphosis by placing an object of their choice on the table.
Note: The offering object may be any palm-sized item, excluding active flames, fresh food, or other items susceptible to rot.
Maia Ruth Lee (b.1983, Busan, South Korea) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, photography, and video. She attended Hongik University in Seoul, Korea, and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada. Lee has had solo exhibitions at the Tina Kim Gallery (NY), Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (CO), and François Ghebaly Gallery (LA). She has participated in the 2019 Whitney Biennial and an array of group exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum (CO), Fotografiska New York, Gio Marconi Gallery (Milan), and Mai 36 Galerie (Zurich). Lee was awarded the Gold Art Prize in 2021 and the Rema Hort Mann Grant in 2017. Her work is held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
This exhibition was made possible through the generous support of Valeria Napoleone XX.
Clarice Lee, Malaika Newsome, Ruiqi Wang, and Fiona Yu curated the exhibition. We extend special thanks to the artist, Maia Ruth Lee, and to the Tina Kim Gallery and Diana Lee. Catherine Quan Damman, Christine Poggi, Sarah Higby, and Sofia Palumbo-Dawson provided faculty and administrative support; Jason Varone designed the website.

Speaker: Darryl Wilkinson, Assistant Professor of Religion, Dartmouth College
Title: Lowland Empire: Rethinking the Inca Presence in Western Amazonia
learn more about Darryl Wilkinson Join us in-person for Darryl Wilkinson's talk Join us virtually for Darryl Wilkinson's talkDescription: We typically imagine the Incas as a highland people—which is accurate, for the most part. But they also expanded their domain into various lowland regions, including westernmost Amazonia, an ecological context radically different from their traditional heartlands in the high Andes. The Inca presence in Amazonia remains one of the least understood aspects of their history and is also a topic beset by many myths and misapprehensions. In this talk, I aim to provide an up-to-date overview of the imperial expansions into the eastern forests. What exactly drew the Incas into Amazonia in the first place? How much did they already know about Amazonia prior to their arrival in the region? What sort of interactions did they have with the lowland communities they encountered? My answers to these questions will draw upon my own archaeological field research in the province of La Convención, Peru, as well as that of several colleagues, whose recent efforts have done much to expand our understanding of this under-studied region. Rather than a peripheral zone of highland empires, I will discuss the various ways in which western Amazonia played a vital role in Andean prehistory.
Darryl Wilkinson received his BA in archaeology and anthropology from Oxford University, after which he began his graduate studies at Columbia University, where he completed his PhD in 2013. Wilkinson has since held postdoctoral fellowships at Cambridge University, Rutgers University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his field research has been funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Leverhulme Trust and the National Science Foundation. In 2020 he took up an appointment as assistant professor in the Religion Department at Dartmouth College.

Series: Craig Hugh Smyth Lecture
Speaker: Frank Fehrenbach, University of Hamburg / Italian Academy Fellow, Columbia University, spring 2024
Title: Giotto and Physicists: The Dynamics of Images around 1300
learn more about Frank Fehrenbach Join us in-person for Frank Fehrenbach's talk Join us virtually for Frank Fehrenbach's talkDescription: The work of the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone (ca. 1267–1337) is characterized by the unprecedented visualization of physical forces: weight, pulling, pushing and throwing. My lecture situates this observation within the shared, resonant space of the histories of art and science around 1300, with a focus on Giotto's "Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata" (Paris, Louvre). After contextualizing the image within contemporary Franciscan hagiography, I will refer to two fields in the history of physics – optics and ballistics – in which Franciscans played a prominent role and which they helped to reshape in a revolutionary way. My reconstruction of shared fields of investigation demonstrates how both art and science concurrently pose questions about the transmission, continuation, conceptualization, and representation of physical and physically effective numinous forces.
Frank Fehrenbach is an art historian who focuses on the interrelations between art, natural philosophy, and science in early modern Europe. He was a senior professor at Harvard University until 2013, when he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at Hamburg University. Since 2019, he is co-director of the interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Study on Imaginaria of Force in Hamburg, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. He published widely on Leonardo da Vinci, including the LVIII Lettura Vinciana (2020). Most recently, he published an extensive monograph on the concept of “enlivenment” in early modern Italian art (Quasi vivo. Lebendigkeit in der italienischen Kunst der Frühen Neuzeit, Berlin-Boston 2021).

Title: A pozzolana mine reconsidered: The formation of Christian cult in a non-Christian environment
Speaker: Barbara E. Borg, Professor of Classical Archaeology at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa
learn more about Barbara E. Borg Join us in-person for Barbara E. Borg's talk Join us virtually for Barbara E. Borg's talkDespite the prevailing Catholic belief that the original resting places of the martyr saints Peter and Paul are under their respective churches on the Vatican hill and on the via Ostiense, a debate persists regarding a mysterious location at the third milestone of the Appian Way. The current church of Saint Sebastian stands upon an early, modest place of worship for the apostles and a 4th-century ‘Basilica Apostolorum’. Drawing from a new interpretation of archaeological findings, epigraphic evidence and tomb decoration, I will contend that this area, once a pozzolana mine, was where the apostles were purportedly interred and their tomb(s) visited starting from the 2nd century, and I will chart the evolution of their veneration from a simple funerary reverence to a martyr's cult.
Barbara E Borg is Professor of Classical Archaeology at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and has published widely on Greek and Roman art and archaeology. Over the past 15 years, she has focussed her research on funerary customs and the topography of the city of Rome and its surroundings. Recent publications include her two monographs Crisis and ambition: tombs and burial customs in third-century CE Rome (OUP 2013), and Roman tombs and the art of commemoration: contextual approaches to funerary customs in the second century CE (CUP 2019). Since 2022, she has been leading the project The INscribed city: urban structures and interaction in imperial ROME (ERC ADG 101054143 – IN-ROME). It aims to holistically map and describe the wide range of activities taking place in and around Rome and translate topographical patterns and urban structures into social relations to gain a better understanding of how this first mega-city of the world worked.
