Eliza123 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm wondering if this thread could be used to identify key up and coming art historians and theorists doing important work. I'm noticing that I'm mostly identifying potential advisors that may be close to retirement (which pose a problem in the long run). I hope this is useful for somebody. I'm mostly interested in contemporary art. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliscar Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Julia Bryan-Wilson, Hannah Feldman, Huey Copeland, Darby English, Matthew Jesse Jackson, Christine Mehring, Sebastian Zeidler, Alexander Alberro, Noam Elcott, Brandon Joseph, Claire Bishop, George Baker, Pamela Lee, Miwon Kwon... I could on forever, almost. Are you reading work in your field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losemygrip Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 At least one person on that list is a horrible human being. Others are not so young. Just FYI. (I suppose it doesn't matter if you're just looking for reading material.) I just saw that English is coming out with some new things that look very interesting.

"Horrible human being" - that's a pretty strong statement. Of whom are you speaking, and why do you say that? You had to know there'd be some questions here.

Just FYI. (I suppose it doesn't matter if you're just looking for reading material.) I just saw that English is coming out with some new things that look very interesting. I don't think that the objective "youth" of scholars was really central to the question. None of the people I mentioned are close to retirement, whereas the OP specifically mentioned that the scholars they were looking at are. The question—as far as I understand it—is about potential supervisors, and the scholars I mentioned are either mid-career (in terms of supervision at least), or just seeing through some of their first doctoral candidates. Re. the personal attack on one of the people mentioned—sure, it's very possible. That being said, it's probably best to keep that sort of commentary to private messages.

Check out Shira Brisman at UW-Madison. Her first book (she's completing another one now) is on Durer and just came out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
