Art History Colloquium
Sarah Rodgers Morris
Friday, October 21
4:00–6:00pm
Virtual Only via Zoom •
Please email arthistory@uic.edu for Zoom info
This week, the Department of Art History welcomes Sarah Rogers Morris! Sarah will present this research for the first time. This project is made possible through generous support from the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Museum of American History.
"Calling on photographic surveys from Russia, the British Empire, and the United States, this project investigates the place of visual instruction (the use of images as didactic tools) in a growing movement to expand access to public education, instill feelings of national belonging, and grow the world economy. (...) Through intensive visual and sociohistorical analysis, this project maps the movement of intertwined
pedagogic and photographic practices. It uncovers a complex set of social and cultural entanglements that span regional and
foreign contexts and colonized and metropolitan worlds." Learn more »

Jennifer Reeder: "Made for Horror: Favorite Genre Films, Led By Women" in Newcity
Professor Jennifer Reeder was featured in Newcity listing her favorite genre films led by women. "This is a significant moment for women working in genre films. Women are very well suited for horror in particular. We have a personal relationship to fear from a very young age and we are able to bleed for days and not die. Additionally, I know from direct experience that there is something distinctly genre about childbirth. Here is a selection of some of my most favorite genre films which also happen to be led by women."

Dianna Frid: TIME IS TEXTILE
November 4, 2022–January 13, 2023
Alan Koppel Gallery
806 North Dearborn Street
Chicago, IL
Opening Reception:
Friday, Nov 4, 6:00–9:00pm
Artist conversation with Dianna Frid and John Neff:
Friday, Dec 2, 6:00–8:00pm
ALAN KOPPEL GALLERY is pleased to present Time is Textile, a solo exhibition of new works by artist Dianna Frid. The works in Time is Textile—seven books and three wall pieces—grapple with themes of mortality, surrender, disaster, awe, and singing. Sewn text is prevalent in these mixed-media artworks. And yet, as much as Frid’s work intersects with and borrows from written language, it also wrestles with language and its limits.
