DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion about the gothic and Gothic architectu
 ral drawings as we enter the final week of one exhibition (Viollet-le-Duc 
 Drawing Worlds) and the early weeks of another (Gothic by Design: The Dawn
  of Architectural Draftsmanship). This program\, organized as a partnershi
 p between the Drawing Foundation\, Bard Graduate Center\, and the Metropol
 itan Museum of Art\, will begin with a critical response to the two exhibi
 tions by Basile Baudez (Princeton)\, followed by a conversation with curat
 ors Barry Bergdoll and Femke Speelberg.Basile Baudez is associate professo
 r of architectural history in the department of art and archaeology at Pri
 nceton University. His latest single-authored book\, Inessential Colors: A
 rchitecture on Paper in Early Modern Europe (Princeton University Press\, 
 2021)\, was awarded the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion by the Society of 
 Architectural Historians of Great Britain. He has recently coedited Textil
 e in Architecture: From the Middle Ages to Modernism (Routledge\, 2023)\, 
 which explores the interconnections between soft and hard architecture in 
 the longue durée from diverse geographical contexts\, and Carceral Archite
 cture: From Within and Beyond the Prison Walls (Jovis\, 2025)\, the first 
 account of prison design and its effects centered on the voices of justice
 -impacted people alongside activists\, designers\, scholars\, artists\, an
 d students. He is currently finalizing a book project on textiles in eight
 eenth-century Venetian urban spaces.Since 2011 Femke Speelberg\, MPhil\, i
 s curator of historic ornament\, design\, and architecture in the departme
 nt of drawings and prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York. In
  this capacity\, she oversees all drawings\, prints\, and illustrated book
 s pertaining to the history of design and architecture\, dating from the G
 othic period to the first half of the twentieth century. Her research is f
 ocused on the role of works on paper in processes of artistic ideation\, c
 reation\, and exchange. As such\, her exhibitions and publications are inh
 erently interdisciplinary in scope and connect art objects with the worlds
  in which they were created and functioned.Barry Bergdoll is Meyer Schapir
 o Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University\, New Yo
 rk. His interests center on modern architectural history\, with a particul
 ar emphasis on France and Germany since 1750. Trained in art history rathe
 r than architecture\, he has an approach most closely allied with cultural
  history and the history and sociology of professions. Bergdoll has organi
 zed exhibitions at the Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Montreal\, and a
 t the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, where he served as Philip Johnson 
 Chief Curator from 2007 to 2013.A Lee B. Anderson Memorial ConversationLee
  Anderson\, who worked for a time as an arts education teacher\, has been 
 referred to as the godfather of the Gothic revival in America. It is large
 ly because of his impressive personal collection that the style has been r
 ekindled among designers and other tastemakers. Lee passed away in 2010\, 
 but he left a legacy of philanthropic support through the Lee B. Anderson 
 Memorial Foundation\, whose mission is to support programs and organizatio
 ns that advance an appreciation for the decorative arts.*This event is pre
 sented in conjunction with Viollet-le-Duc Drawing Worlds\, on view at the 
 BGC Gallery through May 24.
