Presenter(s): William Pope.L
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: The Renaissance Society is proud to conclude its 2012-13 season with Forlesen, a new installation by Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist William Pope.L. At issue for Pope.L is the manner in which difference is demarcated economically, socially, culturally, and politically, most prominently in the opposition between blackness and whiteness. With this project, the artist furthers his investigation through an array of drawings, sculptures, and multi-media projections that transform the gallery into a dizzying labyrinth. Forlesen marks Pope.L’s first solo exhibition in Chicago since moving to the city to join the faculty of The University of Chicago’s Department of Visual Arts.

Event Description: Migration, memory, and material culture studies are three domains of research that have generated large bodies of specialized, and largely independent, theoretical and empirical literature in the social sciences and humanities in recent years. This conference, however, targets specifically the complex interrelationships among mobility, memory, and material worlds. The goal of this conference is to transgress a number of boundaries that have limited understanding of this set of relations. The terms "crossroads" and "convergences" are intended to signify not only a focus on the intersections of these social and cultural fields, but also the promotion of collaboration among different national and disciplinary traditions of scholarship on these issues., The conference seeks to unite historians and archaeologists investigating these issues in the past with ethnographers, sociologists, linguists, ethno-musicologists, and others conducting research on contemporary societies.

Visual and Material Perspectives on East Asia
This workshop serves as a critical forum for the presentation of work addressing problems in the visual and material studies of East Asia, a region defined broadly to include China, Central, Asia, Japan, Korea, and Tibet. This workshop explores if and how theories of visuality current in western contexts may be applied to East Asia, and how approaches from both Eastern and Western scholarship may be fruitfully combined in visual and material studies.
