Visual Culture in the Art Museum

Admission: Free

USC Fisher Gallery (HAR)
University Park Campus

Selma Holo, director of the USC Fisher Gallery, and associate professor Richard Meyer lead a discussion of what it means to put visual culture – as opposed to high art – on display in an art museum.

Meyer is an associate professor of modern and contemporary art in the USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences’ art history department and the author of “Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art.”

Holo, who is also a professor of art history, wrote the books “Beyond the Prado: Museums and Identity in Post-Franco Spain” and “Oaxaca at the Crossroads; Managing Memory, Negotiating Change.”

Both authors' books are available through the USC Pertusati Bookstore.

The discussion is held in conjunction with USC Fisher Gallery's current exhibition, "Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like?," a show of 139 color and black and white photographs of women engaged in professional, collegiate and amateur sports.
