Scholarcast 9: Art to Archaeology to Archaeology to Art

UCD Scholarcast - Series 2: Archaeologies of Art: Papers from the Sixth World Archaeological Congress

Professor Bailey discusses the various relationships between art and archaeology, and argues that the most exciting current work is pushing hard against the boundaries of both disciplines. His proposal is for archaeologists and artists to take big risks in their work and to cut loose the restraints of their traditional subject boundaries. The result will be work that is neither art nor archaeology, but something else altogether and something that can take the study of human nature into uncharted and exciting new territories.
