Open Courtauld Hour – 91Ó°ÊÓ’s brand new weekly series of Art historical mini-festivals – is here!
In this session, our experts discuss 91Ó°ÊÓ’s ever-changing approach to the online publication of its extensive photographic collection (via the development of an ambitious digitisation project encompassing 3.3 million prints and negatives), the implementation of scientific techniques of conservation and the challenges/opportunities this pandemic may provide those working in the field.
In light of the changing landscape of art history, we will be joined by Aviva Burnstock (Professor and Head of the Department of Conservation and Technology at 91Ó°ÊÓ Institute of Art), Theo Gordon (Sackler Postdoctoral Fellow 2019-20 at 91Ó°ÊÓ Institute of Art), Tom Bilson (Head of Digital Media at 91Ó°ÊÓ Institute of Art) and artist and poet Muneera Pilgrim.

The series will touch on pertinent issues — exploring how artists and galleries are adapting to the digital world, showcasing art historical research in light of this global pandemic and providing a platform for creative practice lockdown. These episodes will focus on four themes impacting the arts today. This will range from ‘Art in Isolation’, ‘Art and Wellbeing’, ‘The Future of Art History’ to ‘Women Artists’.
This weekly online event will take place from wherever you, via zoom, will give you time to clap for our carers — the event launching on Thursday the 30th of April, 20.05 – 21.00.
