Описание к видео Unseen Art in Ancient Mesoamerica | Claudia Brittenham

Claudia Brittenham, Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Chicago, speaks on "Unseen Art in Ancient Mesoamerica". Brittenham's current research project examines problems of visibility and the status of images in Mesoamerica. Unlike objects made to be displayed in modern art museums, many visually elaborated Mesoamerican objects would have been extraordinarily difficult to see in their original contexts. By exploring these conditions of visibility, Brittenham suggests that art could operate beyond the realm of the visual, and explore the ways in which concealed images and esoteric knowledge might be used to maintain power and social difference.
