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.
