Virtual Symposium with Arts Professor Mary Sherman

Arts Professor Mary Sherman participated in the Virtual Symposium The End of the Grand Tour? Artist Residencies: Future, Place and State, produced by the Mexican based Arquetopia Foundation. The symposium took place simultaneously in eighteen different countries in collaboration with multiple institutions around the globe, from June 3 to July 28, focusing on the critical dialogue regarding the subject of artist residencies. Professor Sherman was a speaker on the panel, Gaze and Place: The Act of Travel and the Invention of Destinations, which took place July 8^th. The panel addressed “What happens when an artist engages with artistic processes while immersed in a community where its culture, people, and even the place itself have been imagined and reimagined by art history and, in general, the dominant visual culture?” The full symposium may be viewed here
