100 years ago today, the Grand Lake Theater opened its doors on Grand Avenue.

It would be helpful if at some point after the ceremony they actually released ballot totals, since there's no way to confirm any of this. I'm sure there are a lot of egos keeping that from happening, but just for Picture/Animated/International rather than individual nominees it should be done.

Les Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry - Historians of Netherlandish Art Reviews The Château de Chantilly justifiably billed its exhibition as a landmark show, and for early modernists and medievalists, it was the most anticipated

Art History will continue to be seen as an elitist discipline if the public apparatuses for communicating it refuse to acknowledge the scholarship that has drawn attention to art's role in serving and subverting power.

Not many people know this, but Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza is an alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley

Early modernists have this a little easier, especially those of us who work with prints (which are easier to obtain than ever). But for physical objects, it's the pits.

Great piece by my wonderful faculty colleague Charissa Terranova. Don’t destroy this Brutalist gem!

Friends, I hope you’ll share this widely. The @jcblibrary.bsky.social is hiring 2 3-yr research associates for collaborative work on religions and freedoms in the early Americas. Info is here and I’m happy to take questions offline: brown.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/staff-...

This film totally rules; one of the best movies of the year, period.

BEST FIRST FILM: Eephus

"The humanities really are a resource — a confidence for living in our times.” Dean Sara Guyer on the modern utility of humanities degrees This interview originally appeared on the Division of Arts

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

This was part of their "Frontier Factory" residence that Warhol spun off for a month or so

Three views of astrological study including an armillary sphere, Indigenous Americas constellations, and a woodcut of Gemini.

Apply! Astronomy! The Adler!

Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.

“Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1 percent and 7.5 percent respectively, according to a report… That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates”

BIG news coming, but a sneak peak at a recent project at @thejohnrylands.bsky.social - the 1546 Mappemonde has been under some close scrutiny! New #imaging means the original 43mp image is now an astonishing *552 megapixels* the detail is extraordinary!

Millions flock immediately to THE SHROUDS in protest

The Medici Archive Project is offering twelve short-term fellowships for graduate, pre-doctoral students, and postdoctoral candidates, working on fields related to early modern Italy (preferably with a specific emphasis on Tuscany or Medici history) #earlymodern 🗃️

I’ll say it again: Cremeria Cavour. Sorbetteria Castiglione is also great.

Go to Cremeria Cavour for gelato. The best I’ve ever had anywhere. You won’t be able to bring it back though. (Maybe get a couple pounds of Parmesan vacuum-packed to bring back from Tamburi.)

We went with a 13 year old and it was fine. Less scary than Walking Dead.

This story will never get old.

Just came across this titanic change (in the first photo of the thread) while preparing a handout for students on proper citations. Kind of shocking, but I'll accept it eventually.

⏰ Final day to apply for our promising #bookhistory conference on the history of the book trade between Tudor England & the Low Countries.

I'm really sorry about this. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Somehow I imagined CA would be more insulated from this.

Would like to see what this looked like before cleaning--it's so clear what it is without all the overpaint!

The complete shutout of Challengers, especially in score, is pretty surprising.

Excited to share that applications are open for “Bvlbancha Rising: Louisiana Coastal Landmarks Imperiled by Climate Change”, an NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture program to be held in June 2025! www.sitesofmemorynola.org/neh

This is one reason Mike Leigh’s film “Mr. Turner” is so unique. It shoes compulsive artmaking throughout daily tasks—the artist always with a sketchbook as he goes about the routines of life, not reduced to Freudian responses or tableaux that miraculously appear before
him.
