With this in mind, we’ve set up a "member directory" section which we encourage you to add yourselves to. The hope is that people can see others with similar interests, fostering collaborative practice and interesting exchanges. We have also set up a Slack space for people to use as an additional forum. Further information below.  Lastly - we’re delighted to welcome three new members of our committee to work alongside Matthew French (University of Birmingham) and Rachel Coombes (University of Oxford), they are Dr. Nikki Georgopulos (Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia), Jordan Hillman (PhD student, University of Delaware) and Allison Perelman (PhD student, Washington University in St. Louis).

In any case, the space has designed to be flexible for network members. Signing up is free, so do join us over on Slack!  Join us on Slack Member Directory: We have also launched a member directory. An easy way to find network members in your research area or locale. We hope to keep this regularly updated with current members research projects and positions and hope it will act as a useful tool to find members either where you live or you may be able to contact a network member if you require help or access to a document in a different location to that of yourself.  To access the directory, please sign up and provide your details via the form here.

Chemical and mechanical advances in mirror-making technology and the boom of consumer capitalism meant that mirrors were more readily available than ever before. Artists responded in kind, using the mirror as both a formal and symbolic motif as a proving ground for questions of mimesis, truth, objectivity, and selfood occasioned by contemporary discourses of Realism. This talk provides an overview of what is very much a work in progress: a book project attending to the confluence of these two concomitant developments: the popularity and availability of mirrors brought on by the Industrial Revolution, and the rise of Realism as a critical aesthetic tendency. Though both the mirror and the Realist painting ostensibly share the expectation of a straightforward, mimetic reflection of the world, Realist mirrors more often bend, warp, dazzle, and distort. Acting as a metaphor for its own making, the Realist mirror is a lens through which we can interrogate our long-held assumptions about Realism and its supposedly positivist, empirical mode of representation. Nikki Georgopulos is an Assistant Professor in the department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Specializing in European art of the nineteenth century, she received her PhD from Stony Brook University in 2020, and has held positions at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and the Morgan Library and Museum in New York   Register Here Rosa Bonheur, The Horse Fair, 1852-5, oil on canvas.
