The "Hannah Wilkie: Sculpture in the Landscape" is at Temple Contemporary from April 25 to July 12, 2019. Lauren, as an alumna of the Art History program, was selected to help write the catalog of the show by the Hannah Willie Collection & Archive. As an emerging scholar whose research interests in the history of feminist art practice and the landscape, Lauren was an ideal match for this project. The work on this essay, "Before her Landscape, a Backdrop of Hannah WIlkie's "California Series"", included a research trip to the Hannah Wilkie Collection & Archive in Los Angeles. Funding for the exhibit was generously provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Tyler School of Art's Office of the Dean, and the Department of Exhibitions & Public Programs, and Temple University's General Activities Fund.

Marlise Brown will use the Fulbright to conduct research to complete her doctoral dissertation, "The Markgrafin's Two Bodies: The Architecture and Performance of Wilhelmine's Bayreuth". Through an examination of primary source documents and the visual language of five architectural sites built under Markgrafin Wilhelmine von Bayreuth (r. 1735-1758) - three palaces, an opera house, and an outdoor theater - I investigate how Wilhelmine utlized the rhetoric of "magnificence" to establish her legacy and perform roles that were often at odds with her limited social and political powers as a woman consort. In Germany, she will work with a renowned specialist in her field of research, Dr Dagmar Eichberger, at the University of Heidelberg. She will also spend time in Bayreuth, Berlin, Munich, Bamberg, and Erlangen, to access several archival collections.
