"On the first floor of McCormick Hall you will find “No Woman’s Land” an exhibition of newly digitized material discovered in 2017 in the Department of Art and Archaeology. The film footage, lantern slides, prints and watercolors record a 1929 trip to Mount Athos and Meteora, Greece, undertaken by department alumnus and architect Gordon McCormick, Hollywood cinematographer Floyd Crosby, and Russian émigré, painter, and explorer Vladimir Perfilieff.
A film screening of the footage from this journey will be on April 5 at 6:30 pm in McCormick 106 in conjunction with the Index of Medieval Art Symposium: Eclecticism at the Edges: Medieval Art and Architecture at the Crossroads of the Latin, Greek, and Slavic Cultural Spheres (c.1300-c.1550) "
