Chris Poggi has been teaching twentieth century art and theory at Penn since 1987. She holds graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and Yale University. Her research and teaching focus on avant-garde movements and critical debates in twentieth century art. She has taught yearly surveys of twentieth century art, graduate and undergraduate seminars on "Primitivism," on contemporary site-specific and public art, on twentieth century theory and criticism, on vision and visuality, on abstraction, on Cubism, and on the art of the sixties and seventies. One book, _In Defiance of Painting: Cubism, Futurism, and the Invention of Collage_ (Yale 1992), analyzes Picasso and Braque's invention of collage and constructed sculpture and their interest in the relation of word and image. The book also addresses parallel multi-media experiments carried out by the Italian Futurists and examines the exchanges between these two very different groups of artists. She is particularly interested in contemporary performance, installation art, and the work of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.

Robert Mahoney, an art critic based in NY, received his masters in English and American Literature from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He currently covers art for magazines including Time Out NY, Art on Paper, Art News, Art in Magazine, dART International, and Artnet, an online magazine. He has previously taught art history at New York University, 1992-1993, as well as the School of Visual Arts, 1990-1993. He is the author of numerous private gallery and museum art catalogs, including that of artist Bruce Helander (Grassfield Press, 1994). He has curated multiple exhibits, some of which include: Cultus, at Spot space, in Soho, 1994; Tabloid, at the Sally Hawkins Gallery, in Soho, 1992; Value, a multi-curatorial project in Soho raw space, in November, 1991; Inherent Vice, at the Center for Photography, Woodstock, NY in July, 1991; and Nomos: the New Word Art, at Penine Hart Gallery, in Soho, 1991.
