  Clocking In: Time and Painting

  Since 2019, Visiting Assistant Professor Roger White (Studio Art) has been making a series of “Calendar Paintings” that explore variations of conventional time-keeping formats. In this lecture, White will present this body of work in the context of its art-historical precursors—from medieval books of hours to the “Date Paintings” of conceptual artist On Kawara—and his broader interest in art and the everyday.
