"Material Obsessions and Postwar Art" Session Chair: Roja Najafi, Oklahoma City Museum of Art This panel will explore the formal and conceptual emphasis on materiality and medium in painting and sculpture from 1945 to present. The vigorous and varied new materials, forms, and techniques that have been introduced into painting and sculpture since 1945 brings into question the spatial boundaries between painting and sculpture and two-dimensionality and threedimensionality. Considering a range of approaches that emerged in the aftermath of the Second World War in Europe and the United States, a key development was the rejection of the rationalism that had dominated the arts before the war. In postwar era, artists increasingly stressed the importance of improvisation, gesture, and materiality in their artistic practice. Seeking alternatives, some artists turned to unconventional fine arts materials and mixed media, with increased emphasis on the issues of scale to create complex surface effects and alternative spaces. This panel looks to build upon an already growing study of materiality in postwar art and welcomes contributions from both artists and art historians. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: material excess and gesture; materiality and scale; material variations: expanse and expense; light and tactility; object-ness and physical existence; abject and object; collage, assemblage, and mixed media.

Infrastructures of "Legitimate Violence": Notes on the Prussian Settlement Commission's Border Villages2019 •
This paper will examine the Prussian Settlement Commission (1886-1918) and its program of “interior colonization” established by the German Ministry of Agriculture in 1886. Over a thirty-year span, in collaboration with the architectural offices of Paul Fischer, Building Commissioner for East Prussia, the Settlement Commission constructed over 600 of what its executive board of Ministers described as “model villages” along the contested eastern borderlands of the Prussian-Polish Provinces. The Commission was assembled in the wake of several mass expulsions, in 1882 and 1883, of non-citizen agricultural workers who hailed mainly from the Slavic East; its objective was to enforce the decrees of the Settlement Law, an anti-migrant land-use policy of incentivized settlement and forced displacement, whose legal architecture, co-written by Max Weber’s father, introduced new economic weapons into the ethnic struggle taking place in what was dubbed Germany’s “wild East.” This paper contends that the 1886 Settlement Law, which provided an early juridical framework for the state exercise of land seizure by eminent domain, and the Commission’s building program are buried episodes in our histories of modern planning in Central Europe at the turn of the twentieth century. The Commission and its border villages—anchored, in Weber’s words, on the “absolute exclusion of the Russian-Polish workers from the German East”—were integrated almost seamlessly into the world of social housing reform by Weber and the Verein für Sozialpolitik, premised on a new politics of race articulated by Weber that took shape within the discourse of internal colonization. In this paper I examine how the Commission’s racial aesthetics, its eugenic interests, and its “vernacular” politics of land, how its model housing and its infrastructures, contoured the aesthetics of the German garden city movement, the modernist housing estates of the interwar years, and the colonial planning culture of Germany’s overseas holdings.

The USA Mexico Multistate COIL Program (MCP) sought to increase inter-university collaboration between academic institutions in Mexico and the USA by building new connections between students, professors, and institutions. The State University of New York’s (SUNY) Center for Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL Center), along with SUNY’s Office for Latin America and the SUNY Office of Global Affairs, has been developing a networked array of COIL-based collaborative teaching partnerships in Mexico since 2013. The SUNY COIL Network is a parallel network of 27 SUNY universities and colleges that have engaged the COIL Center to work with their faculty and staff to embed COIL into their courses and curriculum. The U.S. Mexico COIL Program was initiated with grant funding and expertise from the USA Embassy in Mexico City to underwrite an expansion of the network of partnerships and COIL course exchanges between students in both countries. The U.S. Embassy invited 18 Mexican universities to develop new co-taught COIL courses with SUNY, and other U.S. based institutions, subsidizing the costs of course development and travel. The U.S. Mexico Multistate COIL Program was cooperative grant from the U.S. Department of State under the Fulbright-Hays Program (Grant# S-LMAQM-15-CA-021) and an initiative of the US-Mexico Bilateral Forum on Higher Education, Innovation, and Research (FOBESII).
Miniature art is an important component of the Pakistani art canon. Within a span of 66 years, since Pakistan’s independence, it has evolved from a traditional craft to a specialized degree course taught at the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore and into one of the most popular Pakistani contemporary genres to be exhibited outside the country. From a traditional technique of copying old masters, symbolic of the nation’s glorious Muslim heritage and identity, contemporary miniature has now become a genre that investigates technique, form and content often through subversion and the use of new media. The international positioning of Pakistani contemporary miniature art is unique - it is almost always a part of Pakistani contemporary art exhibitions but there have also been a number of exhibitions that solely exhibit contemporary miniature which signals its special place in the Pakistani contemporary canon. This study evaluates four major international exhibitions and projects namely; Manoeuvering Miniatures 2001, Contemporary Miniature Paintings from Pakistan 2004, Karkhana: A Contemporary Collaboration 2005 and Beyond the Page: Contemporary Art from Pakistan 2006/2010 to investigate the dominant positioning of contemporary miniature art within the realm of Pakistani art internationally. By critically evaluating the nature of these exhibitions, their curatorial strategy and their themes this
