Dear Friends:
PUKAR (Partners for Urban Knowledge Action & Research) cordially
invites you to a lecture by Professor Mary Woods, "Learning to See
the 'New' New York: Place and Photography in New York City:
1890-1950".
Professor Woods' lecture will demonstrate how artists, amateurs,
journalists and documentarians contributed to the visual canon of
architectural histories of seeing the "new" New York from 1890 until
1950, and thus expanded them to include things other than the usual
and conventional photographs of buildings.
MARY N. WOODS received her Ph.D. from Columbia University, New York.
She is an Associate Professor of architectural history at Cornell
University. In the past year she has been a Fulbright Research fellow
working on women architects in India and Sri Lanka. Her publications
include From Craft to Profession: Architectural Practice in
19th-Century America (1999, University of California Press) and
contributions to The Architecture of the Night (Prestel, 2003),
After-Image and the City (Cornell University Press, 2003), Cass
Gilbert: A Life and Career (Norton, 2002). This summer she will be a
Fellow at the Georgia O'Keefe Museum and Study Center to complete a
book on photography and the 20th century American built environment.
