TALK + DINNER: OBSERVER EFFECTS
James Elkins: Visual Practices Across the University
Wednesday, September 28, 6 PM
FREE
Renowned art historian James Elkins will discuss the wide range of image interpreting practices that take place across the departments of a university: lawyers, doctors, scientists, engineers, humanists, and social scientists all produce images and make arguments about them in different ways. This talk assesses the state of scholarship on links between art and science, and asserts that it is possible to consider images in various fields without using tropes from the humanities or social sciences as explanatory tools. A limited number of complimentary light dinners will be served at 6 PM to enjoy as part of the talk. Wine and refreshments will also be available as part of our paid cafe service. We recommend arriving early to secure not only a meal, but also a seat in the lecture space.
