Mark Jarzombek, Victor Margolin, and Terry Smith: Conversation, on Pedagogy
@ Gallery 400
400 South Peoria Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607
Opening Thursday, February 28th, from 6PM - 7PM
How might an art historical education prepare students for a global future? How is the introductory survey to be taught, if at all? How cosmopolitan are the current text-books? Is it possible to circumnavigate the globe in one course or to put the world in a book, and why would that be necessarily global? Can art history’s segregated sub-fields speak to the planet’s intertwined histories? Given that one of the unresolved questions often raised about possible forms of global art history is how it should be taught, Mark Jarzombek, Victor Margolin, and Terry Smith will discuss these and other issues in a conversation loosely structured around the theme of pedagogy. “Conversation: On Pedagogy” brings together three established scholars of architecture, art, and design who have authored books in the name of a more inclusive discipline, in order to share their thoughts on “the global” in art history and education.
