How are you comfortable being seen?

This question was posed last week during The @Stanford Self-Portrait Project, a one-day event in the Roble Arts Gym with food, drinks, and collaborative artmaking ☝️

Students were invited to add a self-portrait onto a large gallery-wrapped canvas (around 5 feet x 8 feet each) using acrylic paints, oil paints, charcoals, markers, collage and more. The options were endless, they could portray themselves interacting with a previous student’s portrait or with the general environment, the only requirement was to be as expressive as possible. Here's how it went! ↑

After a two-year hiatus, the long awaited undergraduate juried exhibition is back! The artworks in ‘Spill Over: 8th Annual Undergraduate Juried Competition’ come from Stanford students studying in a wide range of fields and from across the globe who drew from their varied personal experiences. All of the the works share a profound resilience and desire to make a more habitable world.

Check out this exhibition on view at the Stanford Art Gallery through December 9th, 2022.

"IMU UR2: Art, Aesthetics, and Asian America" is a

"IMU UR2: Art, Aesthetics, and Asian America" is a two-day symposium for artists, curators, and scholars to rethink and reimagine the histories and futures of artists of Asian descent. It begins tomorrow at @Stanford and was organized by the Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI), co-directed by @marcisoonmi (Assistant Professor, Art & Art History) and @aleesapalexander (Associate Curator, @CantorArts) in collaboration with @idastanford.

This is one of the largest and most meaningful events of its kind and features a truly incredible speaker line-up (poet and author Cathy Park Hong, artist Dahn Vo, curator Christine Y. Kim, and scholar Margo Machida to name just a few!). The program will include panels on “Global Intimacies,” “Race and Aesthetics,” “Art & Activisms,” “History & Memory,” “Gender and Sexuality,” and “Institutional Interventions.”

The symposium is free and open to the public, and for those joining in person, @cantorarts has 3 new AAAI exhibitions on view for you to enjoy: East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art, The Faces of Ruth Asawa, and At Home/On Stage: Asian American Representation in Photography and Film.

Poet and professor Cathy Park Hong became recogniz

Poet and professor Cathy Park Hong became recognized as a thought leader over the course of the pandemic after her collection of essays, "Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning," was published in 2020. In 2021, she was featured on the cover of @TIME magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Hong never intended to soar to such heights, but "especially because of everything that has [happened] in the last two years" she felt like it was her "responsibility to speak out.” Hong will be a keynote speaker alongside artist Jen Liu at "IMU UR2: Art, Aesthetics, and Asian America," one of the most significant convening of artists, scholars, and curators in the US with the shared goal of rethinking the histories and futures of artists of Asian descent.

Lauren Toomer knows that "art and medicine have always been linked." As a @Stanford MFA student, she lobbied to perform dissections alongside first year med students. One specific memory that changed Toomer forever: removing and examining her first human brain.

We join the Stanford University music community an

We join the Stanford University music community and beyond in mourning the loss of Geoff Nuttall, who passed away this morning at age 56. Geoff was a co-founding member and first violinist with the St. Lawrence String Quartet (@stlawrencequartet), Stanford’s chamber music Ensemble-in-Residence since 1998.

SLSQ won the coveted Banff International String Quartet Competition and the Young Concert Artist Auditions in the early 1990s, and has since toured in over 1,500 performances across the globe, while making their home at Stanford. A member of @stanford’s faculty and a uniquely inspiring performer, teacher, and mentor, Geoff will be sorely missed, but we will forever celebrate his remarkable life. Our thoughts are with his wife Livia Sohn and their sons, his colleagues, friends, and family.

For more remembrances, visit slsq.com.

Geoff’s family has created The Geoff Nuttall Memorial Fund to advance Dr. Christopher Chen’s cancer research at Stanford University. Geoff was able to continue living his life as fully as possible under the outstanding and thoughtful care of Dr. Chen. In lieu of flowers, please consider a tax-deductible donation, which can be made online at memorial.stanford.edu by selecting “Other Stanford Designation” and entering The Geoff Nuttall Memorial Fund in the “Other” text box, or by check payable to Stanford University with The Geoff Nuttall Memorial Fund indicated on the memo line, mailed to Development Services, P.O. Box 20466, Stanford, CA 94309, or by phone at 650-725-4360.
