Dr. Irene Bald Romano Participates in Conference in Washington DC

November 6, 2019

Professor of Art History and Professor of Anthropology, Dr. Irene Bald Romano recently participated in meetings of the German-American Provenance Research Exchange Program in Washington D.C. and was the moderator of a public panel discussion on October 26, 2019 at the German Historical Institute, entitled “Object Lessons: German and American Perspectives on Provenance Research of the Colonial and Nazi Eras,” organized by the Smithsonian Institution, the German Historical Institute, and the Goethe Institut.

The panelists were distinguished international scholars: Mirjam Brusius (Research Fellow in Colonial and Global History, German Historical Institute, London); Bronwyn Campbell (Provenance Manager, National Gallery of Australia); Raphael Gross (President of the Foundation, Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin); Christine Mullen Kreamer (Deputy Director and Chief Curator, National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution); H. Glenn Penny (Professor of Modern European History, University of Iowa); and Hilke Thode-Arora (Head of Department, Oceania, and Provenance Research Liaison Officer, Museum Fünf Kontinente, Munich).

The discussion focused on the challenges facing provenance researchers and museums in tracing the histories of art works and cultural objects, especially those acquired centuries ago, what provenance researchers of Nazi-era looted objects can learn from those who study collections acquired under colonial rule, and vice-versa, and how the methodologies overlap. The panelists also discussed issues of historical justice, museum exhibition practice for cultural objects with questionable provenances, and viable pathways to just and fair solutions for collections acquired under colonial rule or during the Nazi period.

Dr. Romano’s current research involves an examination of the fate of antiquities in the Nazi era — the collectors, dealers, and methods of confiscations and transfers of ancient Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman objects.

For one show only, 17 undergraduate students studying at the University of Arizona School of Art will present “Folding” – a compilation of short video artworks produced in the Fall of 2023. "Folding" explores visual and emotive reverberations in video, tracing the intricate contours of time, space and the human experience.

Under the mentorship of artist and Photography, Video and Imaging professor Sama Alshaibi, the students produced all the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual components in their final projects. “Folding” is a realization of a semester of storyboarding, performance, lighting, shooting, editing and scoring. The themes explored include motherhood, fatherhood, memory, abandonment, separation, displacement, boundaries, identity, discrimination, depression, trauma, discipline, limits and overcoming.

12 pm -2 pm

Congrats to School of Art senior Grayson Agrella, who has been named a Centennial Achievement Undergraduate Award recipient — one of the highest honors a student can achieve at the University of Arizona. Grayson, a triple major in Art History, Anthropology and French, will be recognized Tuesday by the Dean of Students Office at a luncheon.

“Grayson is one of those rare intellects … who has impressed the Art History faculty with the depth of his passion for the arts and his achievement in every class,” wrote School of Art History Professors Irene Bald Romano and Paul Ivey, who nominated Agrella for the award. “He has made a strong commitment to LGBTQ+ rights and issues — profoundly expressed in his research.” tinyurl.com/SOAgrayson
