Session:
Art History
Lisa Zaher is the UChicago Arts Conservation Research Fellow and a member of the Concrete Traffic research team. Her writing and teaching focus on the history of modern and contemporary art, with an emphasis on photographic media (still and moving images, as well as proto-cinematic devices, video and new digital platforms for distribution and display), historiography, and the conservation of fine art and media. She is interested in how Concrete Traffic—as a singular work of art—provides alternative and shifting models for art historical interpretation as a result of the research surrounding its conservation.
