Do You Know Spoonerisms?
Spoonerisms are named after a real person, the Rev. William Archibald Spooner of Oxford in the U.K., who constantly peppered his sermons and announcements with bloopers like the following:
“The meeting will be halled in the hell below.”
“You hissed my mystery lecture.”
“You’ll have an opportunity to greet our queer old Dean.”
“If you don’t do so, you have very mad banners.”

In this lecture, art historian Morgan Ridler, PhD, traces the history of mural painting from the earliest examples by our prehistoric ancestors through the contemporary period, with a particular focus on temporary or destroyed murals of the twentieth century. Murals are never forever but their ideas can live on.
Morgan Ridler is an art historian based in Sleepy Hollow, New York. Dr. Ridler's current research focuses on Bauhaus wall painting, wallpaper and collaborations between painter and architect. She has published her work in academic journals and in the edited collection Bauhaus Bodies: Gender, Sexuality, and Body Culture in Modernism’s Legendary Art School (Bloomsbury, 2019). She teaches at The Cooper Union in NY and Montclair State in NJ.
