SUMMARY:UCLA Art Council Distinguished Scholar Lecture featuring Mark Godfrey
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Art History proudly presents the UCLA Art Council Distinguished Scholar Lecture featuring Mark Godfrey\, Director\, New Curators\, and guest curator of Kerry James Marshall: The Histories\, Royal Academy of Arts\, London. \nIn his talk\, “Kerry James Marshall: The Histories” Godfrey discusses: \n“The ‘histories’ in play in Marshall’s practice are multiple and intertwining. He thinks about the histories of painting’s conventions and genres. He considers the histories of materials that painters have used for centuries\, like egg tempera\, and those they have not\, like glitter; the histories of perspective and flatness\, of brushwork and gesture. While he is most known for confronting the exclusion of Black subjects in the history of figurative painting and in modernist abstraction\, in several projects he has looked back at the history of the inclusion of Black figures\, and at earlier attempts to forge a Black aesthetic\, and at the histories of Afrofuturism. Marshall occasionally touches on personal history\, more frequently attends to individuals who have been forgotten\, and increasingly provokes questions about history that few others wish to confront. Marshall has worked on all these levels since 1980 because he recognises this is what it takes for ambitious work to be taken seriously and exhibited\, because he regrets the way several Black artists before him have been romanticized precisely because of their disconnection from art history\, and because he wagers that his layered approach to history will mean his work is taken seriously for centuries to come.” \nThe talk will occur on Monday\, December 9\, at 4 PM in the Laureate Room of the Luskin Conference Center.

SUMMARY:"Asia is One" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Asia is One\nDirected by Nihon Documentarist Union\nJapan\, 1973\, 16mm transferred to digital format\, 96 minutes \nFriday June 6 2025\, 6:30 pm\nDodd 147\nOpen to the Public \nIn Japanese\, Chinese\, and Atayal with English Subtitles by Keung Yoon Bae\, Kimberley Sanders\, and Mayako Liu \nFilmed just prior to Okinawa’s reversion to Japanese control in 1972 the student film collective Nihon Documentarist Union (1968-73) produced Asia is One (1973) as their final collaborative film in a trajectory that took them from the streets of Tokyo during the height of student protests to the islands south of mainland Japan. NDU was formed by students at Waseda University and sought a radical mode of filmmaking based on horizontal relations between members that lent their works an amateur quality opposed to the hierarchies that structured the cinema verité works by contemporaneous film collective Ogawa Productions. Their works are radical thematically\, too\, addressing the lasting effects of Japanese imperialism during the height of the postwar Japanese state’s collusion with the American Cold War political and economic order. In their own words\, “We are not just criticizing ‘nationalism’ or ‘xenophobia\,’ we must introduce and make our own ‘cosmopolitanism’ (sekaisei) by ‘transgressing’ national borders in a real way” (translated by Alexander Zahlten). \nIn Asia is One\, NDU follows migrant workers and marginalized communities across the waters from Okinawa’s Iriomote to Yonaguni and eventually Taiwan\, where they encounter the indigenous Atayal tribe. Highlighting moments of mixed belonging and transitional identity—former colonial miners turned fisherman\, farmers\, and smugglers or the Atayal village’s continued daily broadcast of the Japanese military song Umi ga ukaba at noon—the film troubled nationalism through concrete examples of the flows of labor\, capital\, culture\, and bodies across the islands that had\, themselves\, been traversed by shifting national borders. \nAlthough NDU was important in its day\, its legacy was sidelined for decades and has only been significantly reassessed over the past fifteen years. Just digitized this year with subtitles by film and media historian Alexander Zahlten\, this screening of Asia is One is a rare opportunity to see this important but underappreciated independent film from a critical moment in the reassessment of Japan’s colonial legacies in the Pacific. \nOrganized in conjunction with Art History C151 and 185\, the screening will follow a short introduction by Dr. Nina Horisaki-Christens. This event is made possible by the Yanai Initiative and film distributor Kobe Planet Film Archive\, and the film was digitized by the Japanese Amateur Film Archive. \nFor inquiries\, contact nhorichris@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Walter Hopps Colloquium with Julian Myers\, October 20\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Walter Hopps Colloquium\, an ongoing series of lectures and discussions in modern and contemporary art\, funded in part via the Hopps Chair\, will begin with a lecture on artist Edward Keinholz\, with whom Hopps founded the Ferus Gallery in 1957. \nThis fall quarter\, the colloquia will run alongside Professor George Baker’s graduate seminar AH232 Contemporary Art\, which proposes to reexamine and open up LA art history in the 1960s and 70s by thinking it through global and other networks. \nPlease save the date and invite any who you think may wish to attend. \nJulian Myers\, “Sadism on Tour\, or: Kienholz at Documenta” \nProduced at the height of his fame and among a sprawling cohort of family and friends\, Edward Kienholz’s ambitious tableau Five Car Stud depicted a horrific scene: the graphic castration of a Black man by life-sized figures wearing masks of Hollywood monsters. “Sadism on Tour” tells the story of the tableau’s early 1970s realizations: its staging in the parking lot of Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles; its documentation book; and its first public showing\, after some failed attempts\, at the German exhibition documenta 5. Once described as a “three-dimensional representation of a lynching photograph\,” this lecture grapples with the estrangements within this realism\, including those that surfaced as the artist’s phantasmatic portrait of American violence met a European audience. \nJulian Myers is an art historian and editor based in Los Angeles. Myers was founding faculty in the Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice at California College of the Arts\, 2003–20\, and was senior editor of the journal The Exhibitionist\, 2014–17. Myers’s edited volume of writings by curator and museum director Zdenka Badovinac\, Comradeship: Art\, Curating\, and Politics in Post-Socialist Europe\, was published by ICI in 2019. Recent and forthcoming writings include essays on Arthur Jafa\, Christina Fernandez\, Nancy Holt\, the Société Anonyme\, and the history of the art center as a laboratory. Since 2011\, Myers has worked with Joanna Szupinska in the collaboration grupa o.k. They have produced critical and curatorial projects for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Muzeum Sztuki\, Łódź\, Poland\, and other institutions.
