Talk: “Eugène Atget and the Digital Archive”
Panel: “Theorizing the Digital Archive”
Stewart Campbell is a second year Master’s Student in the Modern Art History: Critical and Curatorial Studies program at Columbia University. His recent research interests include the discursive spaces produced by photographic archives, the influence of the early dramatic experimentations of the Italian Futurists and Dadaists on theatricality in contemporary art, and the mobilization of vision through technology as it is manifested in the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Stewart graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the College of Wooster, Ohio, where he received a grade of Honors for his Senior Independent Study project that explored the problem of the justification of various theories for art restoration. After graduation, he assisted the directors of Galerie EXPRMNTL in Toulouse, France where he conducted curatorial research projects, translated gallery literature on contemporary artists, and composed press releases. Since moving to New York, he has written freelance, presented in a panel at Columbia’s Art History department, and is currently working on an independent curatorial project. After graduation he plans to continue writing and working with emerging artists.
