Description:
The Summer Institute for Technical Studies in Art (SITSA) is an intensive two-week workshop designed for Ph.D. candidates in art history who feel their topics and careers will benefit from object-based and art technical research. The workshop builds on the Summer Institute for Technical Art History (SITAH) that was developed and led by New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts for the past five years. Participants will be immersed in the interdisciplinary, collaborative environment of the Harvard Art Museums and the neighboring Department of History of Art and Architecture, as well as other academic and cultural partners in the Greater Boston area. An expert faculty of conservators, conservation scientists, curators, art historians, artists, and other makers will engage a cohort of 15 students in close looking at works of art; hands-on art making; guided technical examination and analysis; critical readings; and discussions with experts.
This year, SITSA will focus on the multifaceted theme of translation.
