Hannah Feldman (Ph.D. Columbia University 2004; Assistant Professor) 
teaches courses on modern and contemporary art.  Her research focuses on the relationship between urban space and the arts of opposition, especially as they engage the geo-political consequences of war, nationalism, and displacement in the post- and neocolonial world. Interested in dismantling the received trajectory of European modernist production, she is completing Art During War: Visible Space and the Aesthetics of Action, Paris 1956/2006, a book manuscript that explores public space and image-making in Paris during and after the Algerian War for Independence. At present, this project has led her to investigate contemporary Maghrebi practices, both in North Africa and in the Arab/Berber diaspora, that engage issues of cultural memory and identity. Her articles and essays have been published in October, The Art Journal, Contemporary, World Art, CAA.Reviews (where she is Field Editor for exhibition reviews in New York and internationally), and in the exhibition catalogue for The Subject of Rape, an exhibition of contemporary art she curated at the Whitney Museum of American Art. She has been awarded a Samuel H. Kress Foundation Fellowship in Art History, a Bourse Chateaubriand, and a Mellon Dissertation Grant in support of her research and writing.
