68th Course on Palladian Architecture (Veneto/Vicenza, 27 Aug-2 Sep 26)

68th Course on Palladian Architecture : Palladio and Comfort in the Well-Designed House.

Aug 27–Sep 2, 2026 Application deadline: Jun 30, 2026 www.palladiomuseum.org/courses/palladio

Palladio and Comfort in the Well-Designed House.

What was life like in a Palladian villa or palace? How were heating and cooling managed, and how did the bathrooms and kitchens work? To what extent did the choice of materials depend on sourcing and reusing them, and how were materials and construction techniques designed to enhance insulation and cooling?

One primary source of information on these topics is the Four Books, in which Palladio unfortunately only discusses building systems and orientation rather sparingly. Inventories also often provide interesting insights by describing the furnishings and objects found within the dwellings. Then, of course, there are the . . . → En lire plus

PhD Position, Modern Painting and the Lesbian Gaze, University of Basel

The SNSF project Modern Painting and the Lesbian Gaze: Queer Women Artists in Europe, 1900–1950, hosted at the University of Basel’s Institute of Art History and led by Prof. Dr. Charlotte Matter, offers a full-time doctoral position for the duration of 3.5 years.

In analyses of artworks from the first half of the twentieth century, feminist art history has largely overlooked non-heterosexual sexuality and desire, while queer art history has primarily focused on the works of gay men. Against this background, the project proposes the notion of the ‘lesbian gaze’ as a methodological provocation to decentre the male and heterosexual gaze as dominant frameworks for interpreting modern painting. The project brings together feminist and queer approaches to reposition the practices of women painters within queer art history. It adopts an . . . → En lire plus
