Trade Networks and Materiality: The Prima Materia of Spanish and Viceregal Art
The J. Paul Getty Museum
1200 Getty Center Drive, Studios A and B (Map)
Free and open to the public.
The session, chaired by Maite Alvarez, J. Paul Getty Museum, and Charlene Villaseñor Black, University of California, Los Angeles, will explore new trends in the study of Spanish and Spanish colonial art of the sixteenth–eighteenth centuries with particular emphasis on how vast early modern networks fostered the availability of new materials, how these materials and resulting artworks circulated globally, and how attention to materiality changes understanding of the history of art. Participants include Barbara C. Anderson, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs; Dana Leibsohn, Smith College; Paula de Vos, San Diego State University; and Karen Trentelman, Getty Conservation Institute.
Directions: Take Getty Center Drive exit from 405 and follow the signs to the main gate on Sepulveda Blvd.

Chair: Dianne Debicella, Fractured Atlas

This panel focuses on ways that artists can use new and unique web-based tools along with traditional philanthropic incentives to bring in non-traditional funding. Crowdfunding, combined with fiscal sponsorship, is a powerful and effective way to use online social networks to cultivate new donors. The panel will focus on how to successfully use crowdfunding in conjunction with fiscal sponsorship. The panelists will bring their own experiences to contextualize how crowdfunding can amp up a fundraising campaign in a short time frame. Find out how you can make crowdfunding work for you.

Under the aegis of the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Thierry de Duve will give the first of a ten-lecture seminar, entitled Duchamp the Messenger. The seminar's subject is the passage from the fine arts system to the contemporary art world, which de Duve calls the Art-in-General system. Each lecture will focus on a particular episode in this passage and its theoretical interpretation, ranging from the nineteenth-century French Salon to the birth and death of “non-art”, or from theories of the avant-garde to opposing readings of minimal art.
