This session considers books transformed through the incorporation of independently printed images. The session focuses on the production and reception of such books between the late fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. These books are investigated both as unique items and as exemplars of continually evolving creative and curatorial practices.

 

A theme running through the session is the challenge these works have posed when they have entered institutional collections: their intermedial nature has placed them at odds with the increasingly standardized and discrete organizational systems developed by public museums and libraries. A second theme is the opportunity these volumes have provided to those wishing to interpret the intimate interface between book, image and audience, whether for intellectual or practical purposes.

 

A fifteenth-century manuscript book of hours into which contemporary engravings were pasted offers an early example of “extra illustration” that uses mass-produced images to suggest illumination en grisaille. A study of nineteenth-century Bibles considers extra-illustration from the other way around, that is, as a means of personalizing mass-produced books, and how the results informed publishers who were developing standard illustrated Bibles.

 

The session also considers codices without text, created to house single-sheet prints. Private collectors often stored their prints in this way. Integrating these volumes into public collections has frequently meant removing the prints from the bindings altogether and, thereby, removing their historical context. The session concludes with an examination of the materiality of inserting prints into books to discern how the practice can inform our understanding of writing and of co-authorship.

Dear ARLIS Members,


The Visual Resources Association has a CAA session that might be of interest to you entitled: "How a Pandemic-Inspired Crash Course in Online Education Worked Out for the Arts." It will be chaired by Molly Schoen from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. The live Q&A period for this session will take place on Thu, Feb 11, at 10 am EST and this is quite fortuitous since the ARLIS-sponsored session lands on the same day. So, if you decide to register for just one day, you can access both.


Here is the slate of presenters and topics:

“Strictly Visual: Fashion and Textile History Devoid of Materiality

Via Remote Learning”

Natalie Nudell, Fashion Institute of Technology, State University of New York


“Visual Literacy and the Fight Against Misinformation”

Molly Schoen, Fashion Institute of Technology, State University of New York


“An Offer I Couldn’t Refuse, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love

Online Teaching”

Kim de Beaumont, Hunter College, City University of New York


“Paradigms for Teaching Art Online: The Impact of Quarantine on Art Departments”

Heather Sharpe, West Chester University


The full session abstract is below. Hope to see you online then!


All the best wishes for 2021,

How a Pandemic-Inspired Crash Course in Online Education

Worked Out for the Arts

 

As new technologies provide the tools of possibility, education develops and experiments with online learning environments. But no one could have predicted that a 2020 pandemic would compel everyone from kindergarten to college to suddenly switch to distance learning. While some areas of study lend themselves to online courses, others, more hands-on, community- or studio-based, are quite difficult to dapt.

 

This session will explore the mixed results of this involuntary paradigm shift as it challenged scholars and information professionals. The presenters will discuss what it took to move traditional instruction online and address key issues. Can you recreate the materiality of objects in a strictly digital environment? For classes dependent on access to original artworks, studio space, or special equipment, how do you teach without them? How do learning objectives need to be adapted to accommodate students’ unique situations? What are art departments doing to plan and prepare for what no longer looks like a one-off interruption?

 

The university infrastructure is there to handle this huge exogenous shock, but now everyone is thinking about education differently. Will the COVID-19 experience change the way the arts are taught? After stay-at-home mandates end, will we be able to resume where we left off and get back to in-person education, or will there be a shift in the demand for online course components or off-campus learning? There are many challenges ahead, and at the same time, opportunities are emerging to renew and rethink the relationship between technology and arts education.

Hi Colleagues,

It would be great to know if any of you are presenting or otherwise participating in any panels. The schedule is enormous this year, I know there are some ARLIS-ians involved in areas not directly related to librarianship or archival studies. It would be nice if we could support each other!
