New Growth: Dialogues on the Tree
By annette | March 13th, 2012 | Events
York University graduate students partner with McMichael Canadian Art Collection for one-day symposium on the theme of the tree
Event Date: March 31, 2012
Event Website: www.ahgsay.com
Time: 9:00 – 6:00
The Art History Graduate Students’ Association (AHGSA) of York University is proud to present their 11th annual graduate student symposium, New Growth: Dialogues on the Tree. For the first time in the symposium’s history, the AHGSA has collaborated with the McMichael Canadian Art Collection to produce a project that includes graduate students from across the continent, as well as the work of artists from even further abroad.
New Growth: Dialogues on the Tree reconsiders the tree through its representations in art and aesthetics. The tree has taken on many meanings throughout history and across cultures within mythology, religion, art, political & state propaganda, and scientific study—to name only a few such categories.
