Robert Bailey - A Mellon Sawyer Seminar "Deep Horizons" Lecture

Robert Bailey is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Oklahoma, where he has affiliate faculty status in Environmental Studies and in Film and Media Studies. Bailey researches and teaches the history, criticism, and theory of modern and contemporary art as well as the historiography and methodology of art history. He is the author of Art & Language International: Conceptual Art between Art Worlds (Duke University Press, 2016), and he edited and introduced Terry Smith’s One and Five Ideas: On Conceptual Art and Conceptualism (Duke University Press, 2017). In addition to his scholarship, Bailey pursues creative activity that explores the applicability of art-historical methods to nature. He has exhibited this work widely, often in collaboration with Todd Stewart, with whom Bailey founded the artist-and-writer-run initiative Fieldworks, which includes a mobile residency program. Compendium, the catalog accompanying a retrospective exhibition of the same name at Southern Utah Museum of Art in 2019, provides an overview of Fieldworks. A participant in the Inhabiting the Anthropocene research group, Bailey writes regularly about art history and nature for its blog.

About the Lecture Series:
The Mellon Sawyer Seminar, Deep Horizons: Making Visible an Unseen Spectrum of Ecological Casualties & Prospects, aims to traverse multiple disciplines and perspectives to investigate intersectional questions concerning the changing planet as it affects specific peoples, communities, wildlife species, and ecosystems in varying and inequitable ways.

The year-long seminar will be led by faculty from art, biology, cinema, history, indigenous studies, linguistics, sociology, and other departments. Together, the team will invite preeminent scholars and practitioners to CU Boulder and host numerous public events, including panels, lectures, and art exhibitions around the Boulder-Denver area.
