Over the past decades, a number of historical studies have demonstrated that time is not a straightforward or neutral framework.
From discussing the emergence of standardized, rationalized time as concomitant with the rise of industrialization, to analysing the temporalities of colonialism, these studies have shown that the concept of time is historically determined and that it constantly evolves under the pressures of technological, social, and economic factors. Yet in the field of art history, and especially U.S. art history, studies devoted to time as it relates to the visual arts remain comparatively limited in scope and number.
This symposium addresses this absence by taking a long view at the development of the concept of time in American art and visual culture. In doing so, it aims to unveil time as a fundamental dimension to American culture, despite a long tradition emphasizing the centrality of space.
