Hannah Feldman (Ph.D. 2004, Columbia University; Assistant Professor) studies modern and contemporary art, with a special focus on the ways urban space and aesthetic practices engage or reflect the geo-political consequences of war, nationalism, and displacement in the post- and neocolonial world. Research for her forthcoming book on art and spectacle in Paris during the Algerian War of Independence has been supported by a postdoctoral grant from the Getty Research Institute and by such doctoral grants as a Samuel H. Kress Foundation 2-Year Fellowship in Art History, a Bourse Chateaubriand, a Bourse Marandon, and a Mellon Dissertation Fellowship. An alumna of the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, her articles and essays have been published in October, Art Journal (where she is currently Chair of the editorial board), Artforum, Frieze, Third Text, Contemporary, World Art, CAA.reviews, and in numerous international exhibition catalogues. In addition to teaching classes on art and politics in the 20th and 21st centuries, she offers more specialized courses on participatory aesthetic practices, critical theory, art and activism from the 1960s to the present, art and war, globalization, urban studies, visual culture, and art in and about the Middle East. Professor Feldman is also a participating faculty in the Graduate Program in Screen Cultures, a member of both the Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Programs and the Critical Theory Graduate Cluster, and an affiliate of the French Interdisciplinary Group.
