Specialization: Twentieth-century and contemporary art; American art and visual culture; new media practices; media theory.
Kevin Hatch received his MA from the University of Delaware in 2001 and his PhD from Princeton University in 2008, both in art history. He returned to Binghamton University in 2011, after previously serving as visiting assistant professor for the 2008-2009 academic year. Professor Hatch’s teaching and research traverses the twentieth century, with particular attention paid to the intersections of art, cinema, and new media in the postwar period. His book Looking for Bruce Conner investigates Conner’s enormously influential but insufficiently understood work while exploring his position on the geographical, cultural, and critical margins. Hatch’s current book project, tentatively titled Rapture/Rupture: Art, Criticism, and the New-Media Sublime, investigates new media practices originating in the 1990s that trouble the outwardly stable categories of cinema and visual art. His research has been supported by a number of sources including the Henry Luce Foundation/American Council of Learned Societies.
