ISAW Exhibition Reviewed in Art Forum

In this month's issue of Art Forum, ISAW's Spring 2015 Exhibition "From Ancient to Modern: Archaeology and Aesthetics" was reviewed by Kaelen Wilson-Goldie. Wilson-Goldie is an arts writer and critic based at the American University of Beirut, currently working on a series of essays on funding and other forms of support for contemporary art in the Middle East. 

Wilson-Goldie highlights in her review the exhibition's unique point of view of tracing the influence modern and contemporary artists drew from archaeological objects. She notes, "...by focusing so closely on the materiality and movement of ancient relics, the exhibition made an important scholarly contribution to an ongoing curatorial conversation about the seemingly counterintuitive fascination of contemporary art with all things archaeological."
