Matthew Worsnick, assistant professor of the practice of art history, will present his paper, “Excavating the Contested Adriatic Borderlands: Historiography and Preservation in Fascist Italy and Communist Yugoslavia,” on November 16 at a two-day hertzianaposterconference held in Rome at the Villino Stroganoff and hosted by the Bibliotheca Hertziana–Max Planck Institute for Art History. “Crossing the Adriatic: Networks of Cultural Exchange Beyond the Yugoslav Region” is the overall theme of the program.

Organized within the framework of the exhibition “Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948-1980” on view through January 19 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the “study day” on November 16, convened by co-curators Martino Stierli and Vladimir Kulić with curatorial assistant Anna Kats and Tristan Weddigen, director of the Biblioteca Hertziana, will not be limited solely  to architecture. Worsnick and other participants will also look at networks of cultural production and exchange more broadly along the Adriatic coasts.
