On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This is a talk about great objects made and sold today, and how they tend to have no history when they are marketed. The importance seems to lie with the brand and a high price tag, and yet these objects are drawing on a long history in their design and creation. Contrast this to an ancient object whose value often lies in its biography: who had given it to who, and who had made it.
Kellogg alumnus Max Buston, who practices as an interior designer but trained as an archaeologist, uncovers some contrasts and similarities between modern and ancient objects through object biographies.
This online event is free and open to all. Booking is required.
Please note, this event will be recorded.
This event is part of our Arts Week, when we will be showcasing the work of Kellogg members across the arts.
