SUMMARY:Printing the Gothic: Horace Walpole and the Reimagining of English Aesthetic Tradition
DESCRIPTION:The William Andrews Clark Memorial Library is pleased to present the exhibition Printing the Gothic: Horace Walpole and the Reimagining of English Aesthetic Tradition\, curated by Edward Hyunsoo Yang\, Loren and Frances Rothschild Endowed Graduate Research Fellow. \nThe Gothic has long carried a reputation of being little more than cheap entertainment: a genre thought to possess limited literary or cultural value. This exhibit challenges that view by tracing the Gothic’s connection to a collective cultural effort to establish\, and promote\, an identifiably English art. At the center of this exhibit is Horace Walpole—antiquarian\, collector\, and author of the first Gothic novel—whose Castle of Otranto makes striking use of the preface to address readers directly\, and fundamentally reimagines how readers might engage with material texts. This gesture\, which becomes a hallmark of later Gothic works\, exemplifies how paratextual spaces invited interaction between writer and reader. By examining Gothic fiction alongside eighteenth-century art historiography\, this exhibit highlights a shared practice of using the material book—its prefaces\, framing texts\, and editorial choices—not only to inspire readers\, but also to contribute to a national cultural project. \n\n3:30 PM – Doors Open\n4:00 PM – Welcome remarks by Head Librarian Derek Christian Quezada Meneses\n4:05 PM – Introduction and overview presentation by Curator Edward Hyunsoo Yang\n4:30-6:00 PM – Reception and exhibition viewing\n\nThe exhibition will be on view through April 13\, 2026 and will be open by appointment only. To schedule an appointment\, please contact clarktours@humnet.ucla.edu. \n\nTo register for Friday\, February 13 opening\, please visit the website. \nThe event is free to attend and will be held in-person at the Clark Library. \nSeating is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits.

SUMMARY:Global Antiquity Distinguished Speaker Series- Myth\, Time and Cosmology in the Ancient Maya Murals of San Bartolo with David Stuart
DESCRIPTION:Myth\, Time and Cosmology in the Ancient Maya Murals of San Bartolo \nDavid Stuart (Art & Art History\, University of Texas at Austin) \nFriday\, February 13\, 4:00 pm | Royce Hall 306 \nRegister Here \nWatch Live on Zoom \nThis talk will present new interpretations of one of the most important artworks from ancient Maya civilization — the wall paintings of San Bartolo\, Guatemala. Discovered in a buried room in 2001\, the paintings are among the earliest examples of mural painting in the Maya tradition\, dating to the so-called Preclassic period. Their complex narrative focuses on varied origin myths\, including the emergence of maize\, the animate sun\, and the establishment of the four world quarters. The murals also include some of the earliest known examples of Maya hieroglyphic writing. Two inscribed dates are integrated into the design and provide a possible clue to the precise dating of the paintings to the year 26 CE. Taken together\, the new readings and interpretations shed light on one of the oldest religious narratives from the ancient Americas. \nAbout the Speaker\nDavid Stuart is the David and Linda Schele Professor of Mesoamerican Art and Writing at the University of Texas at Austin. His primary research focuses are the archaeology and epigraphy of ancient Maya civilization and the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphic writing. Currently\, he oversees Casa Herrera\, UT’s academic research center in Antigua\, Guatemala\, and is the director of The Mesoamerica Center at the University of Texas at Austin. His most recent book\, The Order of Days (Random House)\, is a popular account of ancient Maya calendars and cosmology\, and a new\, forthcoming book\, titled The Four Heavens: A New History of the Ancient Maya\, will appear with Princeton University Press in March.
