Modernist Studies Then and Now: Critical Genealogies and Contemporary Possibilities

In this talk Hal Foster looks back at the last few decades of modernist studies from a personal perspective, touching on the challenges of both contemporary art and decolonial critique. He also considers how ideas of modernism might be bound up with models of modernity that are both problematic and outdated.

Hal Foster is the Townsend Martin Class of 1917 Professor of Art History at Princeton University. He is the author of many books, including, most recently, What Comes After Farce? Art and Criticism at a Time of Debacle, and Brutal Aesthetics, his 2018 Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery in Washington. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he co-edits October and writes regularly for Artforum and The London Review of Books. He is currently Rea S. Hederman Critic in Residence at the American Academy in Rome.
