Linssen Co-chairs Panel at 2016 College Art Association Conference

Dalia Linssen (Lecturer, History of Art + Visual Culture) co-chaired a panel at the 2016 College Art Association Conference in Washington, D.C. The panel, Window/Lens/Mirror: the Materiality of Glass in Modern and Contemporary Artengaged critically with the material of glass and its surrounding rhetoric of transparency, translucence, reflection, surface, and fragility.

The papers presented explored a range of topics, including the Nazi appropriation of Bauhaus glass objects; the fracturing and fabrication of Surrealist window displays in 1930s New York; the perceptual dissolution of the mirrored self in contemporary art; and the application of nanoscience technology and diachroic glass in contemporary architectural practice.
