Marissa Vigneault, an assistant professor of art history at Utah State University, will give a lecture at Southern Utah Museum of Art in Cedar City Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. She will discuss how art history and historical writing play a key role in today’s art world. Her talk will focus on the work of Bruce Conner, one of the foremost postwar American artists of this century. The lecture is part of Southern Utah University’s Art Insights series. The event is free and open to the public.
“Her research focuses on performance and body art, and the intersections between art, fashion, and identity,” said Southern Utah University art history professor Andrew Marvick. “She is currently working on a book about the extremely challenging work of iconic feminist artist Hannah Wilke and her links with the conceptual art of Marcel Duchamp. Her background is a mix of academic and curatorial work.”
Prior to her employment at USU, Vigneault taught at the University of Nebraska from 2009 to 2015, where she was the bridge between studio and art history and ran a project art gallery, Parallax Space, collaborating with local artists and often showing work by undergraduate and graduate students.
