In the present-day context of the global circulation of artworks and ideas, how is it possible to account for the art of a single city? Can a city-based art history escape the discourse of a national art history? This event will examine the specific case of Vancouver, while asking: How do we teach a city’s art?
This conversation will involve John O’Brian, professor of art history at the University of British Columbia, and Johanne Sloan, professor of art history at Concordia University. The session will be moderated by Dorothy June Fraser, doctoral student in the Department of Art History at Concordia University.
