Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
