Line Drawing/Grid/Text(ile), Layered Print on Hahnemühle Textured Paper

Just finished writing the syllabus for my course “Women, Art and Abstraction” which I will be teaching as part of the @UCLHoA Art in London course next term. So teach the work of some of my favourite artists including the Joan Mitchell, Bridget Riley and Louise Nevelson ✨

Looking forward to this invaluable round table on Monday ✨

@lynn_somers @forarthistory Thank you! I am really looking forward to your panel also and meeting you at AAH!

@corachalaby @forarthistory I truly hope this doesn’t conflict with own session. Looks amazing

Only a few days left to submit to our panel at @forarthistory. Please join us in York!

Event reminder for this Friday!💫

Beautiful colour and fluid geometries at the fantastic Alice Baber exhibition at Luxembourg + Co. I particularly love the way Baber creates an interaction between the watercolour pigment and soft grain of the Arches paper support to create a complex textural effect 🎨

A periodic reminder that Max Boersma and I are accepting submissions for our @forarthistory panel “Abstraction, Artisanal Knowledge and Craft Epistemologies”. Please get in touch if your interested in the panel or have any questions ✨👇

Just came across Louis Danziger’s poster for the 1965 exhibition New York School: The First Generation at @LACMA. I love the way Danziger’s design succinctly literalises the connection between the materiality of paint and fabric of the New York urban environment.

We are pleased to announce the publication of Object No. 25, marking 25 years of 'Object', edited and produced by graduate students in the Department since the first issue in October 1998! 🎉📚 👉Give it a read: student-journals.ucl.ac.uk/obj/

Such a joy to see Helen Frankenthaler: Painting without Rules at @palazzostrozzi. What I found most exciting was the emphasis on Frankenthaler’s rich yet rarely exhibited late works of the 1980s and 1990s and her sculptures which were made in 1972 at Anthony Caro’s London Studio.

Thinking about Joan Mitchell's 1981 Lithographs "Brush". I find it interesting how Mitchell's choice of title and language of forms seems to play on differing use of the brush and possibilities of printed and painted gesture.

✨A huge welcome to Professor Tina Campt who joins us from this week until the end of October as a Visiting Fellow, hosted by @ProfDorrothy Professor Campt is Roger S. Berlind ‘52 Professor of Humanities at Princeton University.✨

Thrilled that my paper “Free Wheeling: Women Artists and the American Print Renaissance” has been accepted on the “Women Artists in Modern Movements Panel” at @caavisual 2025! I am excited to share my research on the vital role of women in transforming printmaking ✨

Join us for a book launch for 'Lifework: on the Autobiographical Impulse in Contemporary Art, Writing, and Theory' edited by Moran Sheleg 📗 🗓️8 October 2024, 6-8pm 📍IAS Forum All welcome!✨ 👉Find out more: shorturl.at/7Hktr👈

@pembroke1347 I remember going to the Pembroke open day back in 2014 and immediately feeling at home there. Deciding to apply to Pembroke was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

If you’re coming to Cambridge for today’s @cambridgeuniversity Open Day, make sure you pop into Pembroke! Our wonderful student Pembassadors (wearing teal T-shirts) are on hand to lead tours around the College, and to answer your questions about what it’s like to study here.

Max Boersma and I are chairing the panel "Abstraction, Artisanal Knowledge, and Craft Epistemologies" at AAH 2025 (@forarthistory). We are excited to read your proposals! Our full CFP details are on page 1-2 of the conference catalogue. forarthistory.org.uk/conference/202…

@LucyWhelan @marta_zboralska My PhD is on late modernist abstraction so I can give you lots of suggestions of who to read for writing about abstraction - very happy to talk more if that would be helpful

@corachalaby @marta_zboralska Thank you so much both! Of that list, I've only already read (and re-read) Briony Fer and Jo Applin so this is a lot to look forward to!

Doe anyone have reading recommendations on abstraction and drawing or more generally theories of drawing in modern and contemporary art? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

@thebenstreet Thanks so much Ben this is really helpful!!
