Expand Your Perspective: Art Institute Virtual Gallery Talks

Join us next Thursday April 29 at 4:30pm (CDT) for the virtual edition of UChicagoGRAD’s annual Art Institute gallery talks! Are you curious to know what molecular engineering can tell us about Picasso’s representation of a glass? Or to learn more about Gustave Caillebotte’s monumental Paris Street; Rainy Day? Join us for this program that will feature UChicago graduate students talking about their research and how it helps us see artworks from a new and different perspective. Register here to receive a Zoom link for the event.

 

The Virtual Gallery Talks event is part of UChicagoGRAD’s Expand Your Perspective series of programs and public events. The goal of Expand Your Perspective is to highlight the research of graduate students and postdocs across the university. It also aims to give grad students and postdocs the chance to present their work to public audiences both on campus and at cultural institutions throughout the city. In addition to live and virtual events, we also feature graduate and postdoctoral research on the Expand Your Perspective podcast.

 

The featured presenters and artworks for this year’s gallery talks are:

 

  • Gabrielle Ching, Master of Arts Program in the Humanities (Art History) Gustave Caillebotte: “Paris Street; Rainy Day” (1877)
  • Charles Liang, PhD Program, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Pablo Picasso, “The Glass” (1911/12)
  • Tom Ioppolo, Master of Liberal Arts Program John Philip Simpson, “The Captive Slave” (1827)

 

If you have any questions about the event or are interested in participating in future Expand Your Perspective events, please contact Michael O’Toole at mfo@uchicago.edu.
