In this talk, British historian Tim Cole tells the story of the Shoah through an exploration of the landscapes that victims moved across in Europe. His exploration of the “Holocaust landscapes” shines a powerful light on the geographic dimensions of the Shoah. Cole earned his Ph.D. in geography from the University of Cambridge with a study of the spatiality of ghettoization in Budapest and is a professor of social history at the University of Bristol, UK. A pioneering scholar of the “spatial turn” in Holocaust studies, he is involved in several collaborative digital humanities and creative technologies projects, including the Holocaust Geographies Collaborative. His many publications include “Holocaust City,” “Traces of the Holocaust,” and “Holocaust Landscapes.” Registration is required Visit https://library.ucsd.edu/news-events/events/holocaust-landscape-hlhw22/ Please Note: We are striving to host this event in-person with a limited number of seats as well as livestreaming the talk for those who wish to attend virtually.

"Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence: He observes closely, and he enjoys his observations; for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life." —Friedrich Nietzsche, "Twilight of the Idols" What is the importance of being human? I’m sure there will be many answers extolling the virtues of our greatness with human creativity, intelligence, naming inventions, cures for diseases, our love and compassion, etc. Are we also important because we self-reflect, we think about ourselves, and we think about others? We also know we are going to die. Yet, people still function every day like they are immortal and that itself could be looked upon as heroic. What matters? This workshop is an exploration of poetry (of others and ours) stimulated by these thoughts. We will read, write, philosophize, and write some more.

From the museum: "Lozenge–Variant 1" will be on display in the intimate Gerald and Inez Grant Parker Community Gallery, allowing visitors to focus on this singular artwork without their attention being drawn by any adjacent works. The gradually alternating colors will produce a meditative and deliberate experience in the darkened gallery, with seating available for visitors to take their time in the space. About the artist: American artist Phillip K. Smith III (b. Calif., 1972) uses light as a medium to create optically shifting sculptures and site-specific installations. His minimal but imposing interventions into vast outdoor landscapes and more discretely scaled sculptures are nuanced perceptual encounters in response to the unique conditions of site and context. Expansive and living, Smith’s boundary dissolving sculptures use mirrors and LED technology to alter the interplay of light, color, and surface in an expanded field, proposing shifts in experiential pace to modify the viewer's physical encounter. Trained as an artist and an architect at Rhode Island School of Design, Smith incorporates the site-specificity of architecture, with its reliance on scale, and its capacity to physically impact the human interaction it supports, to create immersive viewing experiences. The Lightworks originated when Smith created Aperture during his artist residency in 2010 at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Learn more here.
