معرفی
Elizabeth Legge is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, specializing in modern and contemporary art with a focus on Dada, Surrealism, and 20th/21st-century Canadian and British art practices. Her research interrogates the interplay between language and visual media, the instrumentalization of stereotypes in art, and affective/aesthetic strategies like computational abstraction and the 'cute sublime.' She has published extensively in journals such as Art History and Representations, and contributed to edited volumes on boredom studies, para-computational art, and cuteness.
Education:
- PhD, Courtauld Institute
Research Trends: Her work bridges historical avant-garde movements with contemporary critiques, emphasizing how artists navigate linguistic constraints, technological mediation, and sociopolitical rhetorics. Recent publications explore algorithmic art, while earlier scholarship delves into Surrealism’s psychoanalytic foundations.
Key Themes: Avant-Garde theory, affective aesthetics, media interplay, stereotype analysis, computational art, and boredom studies.
