What does history look like? How do you draw time? This talk sketches
the shifting field of graphic representations of history from the
beginning of the print age through the present. It explores the
relationship between visual and conceptual structures in history and
the remarkable panoply of mechanisms devised to mediate it. As a
counterpoint to the various temporal schemas imagined by artists and
made visible in the exhibition Anachronism, this talk focuses
specifically on the history of the timeline, its birth, its rise, and
its eventual critique. It examines connections between linear
concepts and graphic lines, places where scholarship and artistic
practice come into contact.
