Speaker Series | "Josef Albers between Volume and Line" | Jeffrey Saletnik
Jeffrey Saletnik’s research engages the social infrastructures and mechanisms that undergird cultural production: pedagogy, emigration networks, material culture, and modes of translation. He has published essays on Josef Albers, LászlĂł Moholy-Nagy, John Cage, and Robert Rauschenberg and co-edited Bauhaus Construct: Fashioning Identity, Discourse, and Modernism, a volume that addresses how so-called Bauhaus objects—from teapots and documentary photographs to the Bauhaus manifesto broadsheet and copyright documentation—were employed to model the school’s identity. Additional information about his research is available . As of fall 2016 he will be an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellow at the Institut fĂĽr Kunst- und Bildgeschichte at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Â
