The two-day conference, organized in association with the Harriman Institute, the Lazar Khidekel Society, and SHERA, will be held on Friday and Saturday, December 11–12, at the Davis Auditorium, Schapiro Center, Columbia University. The conference promises to be an historic event, featuring presentations by an international and renowned group of scholars.

About
the Malevich Society
The
Malevich Society is a private American not-for-profit organization,
established by members of the family of the Russian artist Kazimir
Malevich, and dedicated to advancing knowledge about Kazimir Malevich
and his work. In the belief that Malevich was a pioneer of modern art
and should be better recognized for his key contributions to the
history of Modernism, the Malevich Society awards grants to encourage
research, writing, and other activities relating to the history and
memory of Kazimir Malevich. The Society welcomes applications from
scholars of any nationality. Proposed projects should increase the
understanding of Malevich and his work, or augment historical,
biographical, or artistic information about Malevich and/or his
artistic legacy. The Society also supports translations and the
publication of relevant texts.
