Funding opportunity for scholars and art professionals! There's only ONE MONTH left to apply for Getty Research Institute’s 2025-26 residential grant program on the theme of Repair. Situated between creation and destruction, the act of repair can be deeply transformative, with the potential to heal, alter, and renew the material environment. Beyond such physical interventions, art and sites of commemoration are often mobilized to heal a fractured social fabric. The issue of repair has deep bearing for the arts, conceived in the broadest sense, and especially for institutions that aim to preserve and share global cultural heritage. For scholars expanding critical inquiry of African American art, dedicated grants are available under the annual Repair theme via the African American Art History Initiative (AAAHI): https://lnkd.in/gSHFjHeW Application deadline for the 2025–26 year is October 1, 2024 at 5pm PT.

Italian architect, historian, and restorer Gustavo Giovannoni was a key figure in the fields of architecture, #urbanism, and #conservation during the first half of the 20th century. His writings represent a significant step toward the full appreciation of the historic city, and his insights are directly relevant today to the protection of historic resources in urban contexts worldwide. Recently published, “New Building in Old Cities”, edited by Edited by Steven Semes, Francesco Siravo, and Jeff Cody is an abundantly illustrated critical anthology featuring many of Giovannoni's seminal texts related to the appreciation, understanding, and planning of historic cities. The readings are grouped thematically around key concepts in Giovannoni’s conservation theory—urban building, respect for the setting or context, a thinning out of the urban fabric, conservation and restoration treatments, the grafting of the new upon the old, and reconstruction.
