Overlooked in the history of exhibition practice, this unofficial spectatorial response to art physically intruded on a space where only members of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture were allowed to exhibit their work. First, this essay contextualizes manuscript verse with respect to the range of poetry about art in the Salon, including encomiastic verse and print verse. Second, this essay traces the genealogy of manuscript verse in period poetic genres and practices, notably verse for portraits and impromptu verse. Third, this essay locates manuscript verse at the intersection of competing interests in the Salon, where absolutist, aristocratic, and popular rhetorics entwined; manuscript verse represented a courtly and aristocratic response to printed art criticism.

Specifically, women’s pocket-sized literary almanacs included reproductions of and commentary on canonical artworks. Fashionably bound and worn on the person, they transformed the space of fashion into a zone of spectatorship within which women operated as equivalent to their male counterparts as authors, subjects of art, critics, and audiences. In a period when state policy and ideology divided art from fashion and women from art, women’s almanacs were subversive because their scale changed the space of reception, and their use appropriated female fashion as an arena for the display of and commentary on art.

"Studio As History" posits the myth of the Studio as the tain of a mirror which enables the art-world to continue to reverse the conditions of the 'real, ' economic world of power and thus widen the gulf between art and life. A work of speculative historiography, this essay ranges among Greek history, Scholasticism, Romanticism, and phenomenology.

It recovers the various strategies of spatial representation in the carte de commerce to reveal how printed matter united consumer and product. It argues that these strategies adapted an older, place-based iconography—above all the shop sign—to a mobile print culture, thereby facilitating the transition from an oral culture to the print culture upon which gastronomic discourse depended.

2017 Conference of the Universities Art Association of Canada (UAAC)
Session 53: Horizons of Landscape
This session addresses the shifting horizons of landscape in any artistic medium, period, and place. In the context of art-historical debates over globalization and the post-global, and art histories not structured by the Western hierarchy of genres, what can be learned from landscape? The collapse of the biosphere, resurgent nationalisms, the ubiquity of surveillance, migration and statelessness reflect the political dimensions of landscape in the 21st century just as they prompt the rethinking of past landscapes. How have evolving epistemologies and disciplinary frameworks for understanding landscape shaped its artistic manifestations? What challenges do concepts of the anthropocene or the posthuman pose for understanding landscape? What are the afterlives of landscape-concepts such as the sublime, the picturesque, the pastoral? Papers exploring methodologically innovative approaches to landscape are particularly welcome.
