Jutta Vinzent specializes in modern and contemporary art. She focuses on issues of exile, migration studies and postcolonialism with a particular emphasis on art practices, exhibition cultures, spatio-temporal issues, religion and self/identity formation related to avant-garde, modern and contemporary art in Germany, the UK and their colonies. In this context, Vinzent has become intrigued by the approaches of Entangled History and network theories.

Qualifications

  • PhD in History of Art (University of Cambridge, UK)
  • Dr Phil in German Literature (University of Cologne, Germany)
  • MA in German Literature with History of Art and Philosophy (University of Munich, Germany)
  • PG Cert. in Teaching in Higher Education (University of Birmingham)

Teaching

Undergraduate level

  • Year 1: Modernism
  • Year 2: Landmarks of Western Visual Cultures, 1930s to the present; Inside the Gallery; Research Techniques
  • Final year: Postcolonial Readings of Contemporary Art

Postgraduate level

  • Jutta Vinzent initiated and designed the MA Art History and Curating programme in 2013 following the design and teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate modules on curating offered since 2001. After her return from a fully funded Research Fellowship at the Max Weber Center for Advanced Social and Cultural Studies, University of Erfurt (Germany) in 2018, she also co-ordinates the programme and teaches the modules Placement and Curatorial Practices (2018-) 
  • Critical Approaches, 40 credits (2001-2011)
  • Research Training, 20 credits (2009-2012)
  • Curating Research, 40 credits (2010-2012)
    This module involved the curating an exhibition. The following were held at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham (since 2012 in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, London):
    2012, 25 May-27 Aug. Facing the Music. Twentieth-Century Portraits of British Composers
    2011, 27 May-29 Aug. Tennis Memorabilia (with loans from a private collection)
    2010, 10 June-1 Aug.  Print Power
    For further information and annual exhibitions since 2012, see http://barber.org.uk/exhibitions/

The overwhelming positive response to the module ‘Curating Research’ led to the design and introduction of the MA programme ‘Art History and Curating’ introduced in 2014.

Furthermore, fuelled by my research on exhibitions manifested in publications, conference contributions (papers and session convening), by supervising dissertations and research theses on histories of exhibitions and galleries (for details of both see below), and by designing and teaching the undergraduate module ‘Inside the Gallery’ led to exhibitions and curating becoming a central strand for the entire department so that it was renamed ‘Art History, Curating and Visual Studies’ in 2015.

In 2015/16 (winter semester) I applied parts of the model of this MA programme to that offered by the University of Erfurt in Germany. I initiated, designed and co-conducted the exhibition placement programme for the art museums in Erfurt, Germany as part of the Master programme Sammlungsbezogene Wissens- und Kulturgeschichte (Knowledge and Cultural History through Collections), University of Erfurt, Germany (see the programme).

In 2015 and 2016 students were involved in preparing the exhibition Performing Bodies. Raum und Zeit bei Meister Eckhart und in Videoinstallationen von Taery Kim / Performing Bodies. Space and Time in Meister Eckhart and Video Installationen of Taery Kim, Galerie Waidspeicher (Michaelisstr. 10, 99084 Erfurt, Germany, http://www.galerie-waidspeicher.de/home/).

The forerunner of the exhibitions mentioned above under ‘Curating Research’ was the annual PG exhibition of the department, each mentored by another member of staff as a voluntary undertaking, though without any programme credits for the students; this, in turn, was initiated by the 2005 show Art and Migration the first exhibition at the department curated by postgraduate and undergraduate students (primarily led by Dr Jennifer Powell, at the time a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Jutta Vinzent). Different from the exhibitions as part of the module, which only have a pamphlet published (2-paged folded A3-size), these exhibitions came with an exhibition catalogue; here is the list of these:

2009 - Building the Future. Birmingham’s Architectural Story, 5-18 June 2009 (under the mentorship of David Hemsoll and with loans from the RBSA, Birmingham); David Hemsoll (ed.), Building the Future (with contributions by David Hemsoll, Hazel Weston, Barbara Forgarty, Amy Shulman, Lucy Blackford, Richard Horley, Victoria Jones, Tamsin Foulkes, Elizabeth Moore, Georgina Webb-Dickin and Tess Radcliffe), Birmingham: Barber Institute of Fine Arts, 2009, 30 pp 

2008 - Publicity and Perversity. The English Satirical Print, 1750-1950, June 2008 (under the mentorship of Dr Camilla Smith); Camilla Smith (ed.), Publicity and Perversity.

2006 - Travel by the Book, June 2006 (under the mentorship of Dr Richard Clay); Richard Clay (ed.), Travel by the Book (with contributions by Susan Rasmussen, Allan Reynolds, Camilla Smith and Caroline Walker), Birmingham: George Bell Institute, 2006, 88 pp and 15 b.&w. illustrations  

2005 - Art and Migration, 11-15 July 2005 (under the mentorship of Dr Jutta Vinzent); Jennifer Powell and Jutta Vinzent, Art and Migration. Art Works by Refugee Artists from Nazi Germany in Britain, Birmingham: George-Bell-Institute (Humanitas Subsidia Series, 2), 142 pp with 24 illustrations (second, revised edition published as Visual Journeys: Art in Exile in Britain, Chichester: George Bell Institute, 2008, 143 pp with 24 illustrations

Postgraduate supervision

I welcome proposals for MA dissertations, MRes and doctoral theses on modern and contemporary art (preferred areas include any aspect of migration and displacement related to Germany, Britain and their colonies, exhibition cultures in Germany, Britain or post-1989 Europe, conceptions of space and urbanism in avant-garde art, Holocaust/Jewish art, Entangled History approaches and networks). My former students have been able to be appointed to positions in a law firm, galleries (Tate Britain, London and Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge) and universities (Jaber University, Kuwait, the University of Leicester and the University of Birmingham).

Research

I am currently working on three projects:

  • Artists’ modern theories of space and Spatial Art History: Taking Circle (eds. Naum Gabo, Ben Nicholson and Leslie Martin, London 1937) as a springboard for avantgarde views on concepts of space, this book traces artists’ theories of constructive space in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on these concepts and recent theories, it develops a methodology termed ‘Spatial Art History’ that conceives of artworks as physical spatio-temporal things, which produce the social, to overcome the reductive understanding of art as a mere mirror or facilitator of society.
  • The Making of Modern Art through Commercial Art Galleries in London, 1909-1949: A project which investigates the making of modern art through a study of its sale and display in commercial art galleries in London from 1909 to 1949. It will not only reassess accounts of European modernism by exploring its socio-economic framework in unprecedented detail, but will also ask how this framework underpinned modern art’s broader cultural impact)
  • Defamed German Artists in the British Colonies. In and Out of Africa and Malta. Planned as a monograph, it will take the approach of Entangled History, which focuses on the interconnectivity and multi-directionality of history. It will argue that entanglement seems to be an approach, particularly suited to study those who migrated from Nazi Germany into the colonies and protectorates of the British Empire due to the politico-social complexity with which the émigrés were faced.

Title: Art and Migration. Art Works by Refugee Artists from Nazi Germany in Britain
Time and venue: The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham (11-15 July 2005)
My role: Initiation and principal management of the student-led exhibition

Impact:

  1. The exhibition was shown on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of George Bell at The Otter Gallery (University of Chichester) (from 31 May to 29 June 2008 and formed the nucleus of Forced Journeys at the Ben Uri Gallery in London, 20 Jan. to 19 April 2009, an exhibition which travelled to the Sayle Gallery, Villa Marina Colonade, Douglas (Isle of Man), 9 April to 23 May 2010 and the Williamson Art Gallery&Museum, Birkenhead, 16 June to 25 July 2010.
  2. Organising an exhibition together with students proved the instigation of students’ deep learning and the attraction of a wider audience than those interested in research only. The exhibition with catalogue led the department hold a PG exhibition at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts with publication every year from 2006 to 2009 (each of the exhibition was overseen by a member of staff on a rota). The exhibition led to the university accrediting a new module (called Exhibition Module), designed by me and taught together with the Barber Institute of Fine Arts with the innovative assignment consisting of an exhibition with exhibition programme (workshops and lunchtime lectures) shown at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts in June and July each year (since 2009/2010). The exhibitions, held at a university gallery, also fit into the Impact agenda of funding bodies, as they train PG students in the light of potential future professional researchers (for a list of the exhibitions, see above). The module resulted in the design of an MA programme incorporating an annual student exhibition as well as placements. Curating has become a flagship of the department; a lectureship was advertised in 2015 and the name of the department changed, now incorporating curating (Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies).

Title: Theologen im Exil – Theologie des Exils?
Time and venue:University of Mainz (17-19 Nov. 1999); accompanying the international conference ‘Theologen im Exil – Theologie des Exils?’ (‘Theologians in Exile – Theology of Exile?’)
My role: Principal curator
