This week, we have a reading on Britian and France’s 19th-century international exhibitions as a consolidation of their industrial and imperial power, and TJ Bennett’s Exhibitionary Complex that critiques the outward “gaze” and the act of “knowing” as a form of self-policing.
Then, we have Jason Hirata who will meet with us to give a virtual talk on Louise Lawler. A lot at play!
