Open Â鶹ÊÓƵ Hour was a series produced as part of the Open Â鶹ÊÓƵ strand hosted by The Research Forum. This strand was all about sharing advanced research in art history, curating, and conservation, and is part of our Â鶹ÊÓƵ Connects project.
This series provided concise one hour packages of pop-up talks, performances and in detail object study sessions that explored and celebrated our collection, research in art history, curation and conservation.
The series touched upon pertinent issues — magnifying contemporary thinking in society through the field of art history. These episodes explored how the public, artists and galleries are adapting to a digital world, showcasing art historical research in light of this global pandemic and providing a platform for creative practice in the age of social distancing.
Most importantly, as art is relevant to all, these informal sessions gave attendees the chance to access, engage and read art and art history through a different lens— revamping and rethinking art historical discussions through retelling hidden stories. These episodes platformed new perspectives, new ways into art practice, looking at art and reading its history through themes that impact us all.
