IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP:
They Never Covered This in Library School: Research Tools in Pre-Columbian,
Colonial, Modern, and Contemporary Latin American Art.
Yes, there are still places in the all-day workshop @ $60!
Here is the description from the ARLIS/NA conference program:
Building on the success of similar workshops at past ARLIS conferences,
this workshop will explore Latin American bibliography with guidance from
expert librarians and faculty. The workshop will cover art and architecture
from the Pre-Columbian and Colonial periods (starting with European contact
and colonization in the early 16th century) through the Contemporary. The
setting for this workshop, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has undertaken
an exemplary program to develop connections among literature, arts and
people of the Americas, and can likewise offer on-site bibliographic tools,
art objects and staff expertise. Learn about Latin American art in a
setting that explores the rich relationships and complexities of the
cultural heritage of the Americas.
The presenters are:
Beverly Karno (Howard Karno Books), who will discuss sources for
Pre-Columbian art and share with Clayton Kirking (New York Public Library)
coverage of colonial and early modern art. Vanessa Kam (Stanford
University) will discuss sources for contemporary Latin American art, and
Helvetia Martell (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) will discuss the work of
the International Center for the Arts of the Americas.
