CARCERAL ARCHITECTURE

When architecture serves as a tool for punishment through confinement and isolation, every design choice affects lives. What is prison architecture? Where do spaces of incarceration from jails to migration camps and beyond materialize? How do their spatial logics haunt our contemporary societies? For the first time, Carceral Architecture offers readers an account of prison design and its effects by centering the voices of people impacted by the correctional system in the United States alongside those of activists, architects, designers, scholars, artists, and students. In so doing, it highlights a much-neglected issue of our time and helps reimagine a society that continues to be marked by the reality of mass incarceration.

“Goya Affresco” : a talk by artist, frescoist, art researcher Isabelle Bonzom

As a painter, frescoist and art historian, Isabelle Bonzom participated in a panel curated and moderated by David Pullins of the Frick Collection, at the 2018 College Art Association conference. Entitled "Working Out of Medium", the panel asked what happens when an artist steps outside her or his preferred medium. Isabelle Bonzom discussed how Francisco de Goya’s rare fresco work informed his broader endeavor as a painter. At the College Art Association conference, she was extremely pleased to share with Mr. Pullins and the other panelists: Ruth Ezra (Harvard University), Karli Wurzelbacher (University of Delaware) and Emily Beeny (Getty Museum). Isabelle Bonzom was awarded an international fellowship grant by the prestigious Kress Foundation in support of her lecture given at the College Art Association annual convention held in Los Angeles.

She bases her analysis on the painting of Isabelle Bonzom in which Eunju Park discerns a vital force and a creative abundance. The author views the singular approach of this artist as embodying the constructive and beneficent power of art on the human being.
