architecture 604 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 There is a thread over in the Literature thread on this and I thought it may be a nice distraction! I got interested in Hybrid Modernities and global history because as an undergrad my department had a very strong 20th century Asian Art professor, strong Latin Americanist and my eventual mentor who works on Modern Middle Eastern city planning. Due to this, I was got my basics of modern art and architecture through a non-Western viewpoint, which was invaluable to excitement about the field. How about everyone else?
happy little pill Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I'm surprised that artist isn't included in this thread title, haha! I was very much hooked by a Canadian indigenous artist, Brian Jungen - he had a show at the MAC here in Montreal in 2006 and I have a distinct memory of feeling exhilarated by what I was seeing and it was a lightbulb moment for me that art could be more than landscapes and still life paintings (nothing wrong if that's your thing, but it's just not for me). After several detours in various programs, I ended up applying to a joint Art History & Film Studies program figuring that Art History would be my "back up" in case I hated Film Studies at uni and it's a good thing... here I am! architecture 604 1
