### On Hiatus AY25-26

A forum for current research and debate on visual, spatial, and plastic forms of representation for those working in the history of art and architecture, literature, history, philosophy, or cultural studies. Areas of special interest include the imagistic or material negotiation in the visual arts of boundaries separating different media, communities, and cultures; the roles of chance, space, and the body in artistic production and reception; and new concepts of aesthetic experience.
