In May 2021 RMA and PhD students in Art History and related fields will have the unique opportunity to participate in the Visiting Fellow in Modern and Contemporary Art seminar, sponsored by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), the OSK, and the Universiteit van Amsterdam.

The aim of the Visiting Fellow in the History of Modern and Contemporary Art seminar is to provide MA students with the opportunity to study a single or a cluster of topics in twentieth and twenty-first century art history and become acquainted in the work of a strong and singular voice in the field through an intensive one-week workshop.

The seminar will introduce students to important issues in the study of modern and contemporary art and furnish students with a stimulus for further research. Its aim is to further knowledge in art history by introducing them to the work of a leading scholar and their thinking. In this way, it both delivers factual information on one or several topic, but more crucially, it encourages students to understand and practice different methodologies and theories within recent art history.

This year’s Visiting Fellow is Mignon Nixon, Professor of History of Modern and Contemporary Art. She joined the History of Art Department at University College London in 2016. From 1996 to 2016, she was Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and Professor of American Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. In 2015, Her work focuses on interactions of art with feminism, gender, and psychoanalysis and on questions of sexuality, peace, and war. She is a co-editor of October magazine.

Nixon’s previous publications include Fantastic Reality: Louise Bourgeois and a Story of Modern Art and October Files on Mary Kelly and Eva Hesse. Her research has been supported by the Getty Research Institute, the Clark Art Institute, the Terra Foundation, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. She is particularly interested in post-1960 art, psychoanalysis, and feminist and gender politics, and with questions of sexuality and peace. She is currently completing a book entitled: Sperm Bomb: Art, Feminism, and the American War in Vietnam
