Art and art history folks: I'm going to be in Vegas next week - any recs for what to see / visit while I'm there? 🎨🏛️🎰

Last up in our Disability Pride Month highlights - @slobogin.bsky.social on the Guinea Pig Club, humor, and disability. Read the full piece at Broadsides! www.nacbs.org/post/in-grou...

In-Groups and Out-Groups: Tube Pedicle Humor, Facial Difference, and the Guinea Pig Club

“There is an intrinsic irony in the tube pedicle procedure: meant to restore some level of normative appearance and function, it temporarily made the faces of these patients even more different.”

We've finalized the schedule for this year's Corner Society lectures! Can't wait to welcome these speakers to Rochester - on topics from disability in the Civil War to the intersection of dermatology and Cubist art.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

a machine that can fill in the gaps in the archives! this is distilled essence of so much of the techno-utopianism around LLMs and research. it fundamentally misunderstands: the *gaps* are the meaning. history is not the past, it is the processes of recording, then interpreting those records

Saidiya Hartman said “critical fabulation” requires “Narrative restraint.” It’s not just “make stuff up.” Right there in “Venus in two acts” — restraint is “a requirement of this method” (p.12). Before you go all fabulating pls re-read the part about it being “critical.” Thx!!!

With @ayahnerd.bsky.social's riveting Corner Society talk (barely) in the rearview mirror, we're now looking forward to Anna Arabindan-Kesson's visit to Rochester. She'll be speaking about Black diaspora artists, tracking art history's medical imaginaries and the stories they tell.
