Reading Group of August 22
As mentioned in Janet's email, copies of the reading suggested for the coming Reading Group session on Hong Kong Art Historical writing, are now ready at the archive for you to collect.
In case you could not come over, here is what I have selected.
Pt. II Art and Archive
Chapter 6 Antinomies in Art History (pp.83-103?, footnotes: ???)
of
Hal Foster, Design and crime : and other diatribes (London : Verso, 2002).
pls see if you have the book or could get a copy from your most convenient library.
It will touch on Art History discipline from the 19th century, and summary it in Foster's contemporary understanding, then move on to visual culture. (As you might know or not know, October group of editors/writers are pretty skeptical of visual culture. Interesting we came upon this topic this way.)
