Appel à communication : « Jewish Architecture » (8-10 avril 2014, Braunschweig)

TU Braunschweig, 08. – 10.04.2014 Deadline-CFP: 21 oct. 2013

Jewish Architecture – New Sources and Approaches Internationale Tagung / International conference

Jewish sacred and profane buildings have been part of the architecture and cityscapes since antiquity; the earliest findings of Jewish settlements and buildings in northern Europe date back to medieval times. During the course of the centuries, a broad range of structures that are essential for Jewish congregational life were constructed: synagogues, mikva’ot, cemeteries, Taharah houses, kosher slaughterhouses, bakeries, etc. The turn from the 19th to the 20th centuries marks the biggest growth of Jewish life in Europe that underwent a fundamental break during the Nazi era. The current generation, . . . → En lire plus

Appel à contribution : « communication+1: Afterlives of Systems »

Afterlives of Systems

communication+1, Volume 3, 2014

Guest Editors: Christina Vagt, Florian Sprenger

This issue of communication+1 investigates the afterlives of systems since the early 20th century, following Aby Warburgs and Walter Benjamins historiographical concept of afterlife as the transformations and iterations a concept traverses to become productive at a specific moment in time. Under the impression of todays global crisis phenomena and the rise of an ‘ecological paradigm’ (Erich Hörl), we ask for papers that explore these afterlives from a historical or systematic perspective. We are interested in the promises, plausibilities and argumentative resources of system-oriented thinking, holistic or vitalistic worldviews and mechanistic approaches on different fields of knowledge . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « What Images Do » (19-21 mars 2014, Copenhague)

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, March 19 – 21, 2014 Deadline-CFP: 1 nov. 2013

What Images Do Symposium

Confirmed keynotes: Georges Didi-Huberman – Jonathan Hay – Jacques Rancière

The aim of this symposium is to contribute to our understanding of what the image does (its pragma). The awkward entanglement of being and non-being (Plato) calls for an examination of the image as an act or event. Through its event, the image-act instigates an image-related reflection upon the issues of being and non-being, physis and semiosis, actuality and potentiality. The concept of iconic difference as coined by art historian and philosopher Gottfried Boehm is vital to our . . . → En lire plus

In recent years it has become increasingly popular for museums and historic buildings to invite living artists to respond to their buildings or collections by curating, creating or performing on site. What has been the impact of this popular collaborative trend for artists, museums and their audiences?

Themes addressed by the conference may include . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Baldassarre Peruzzi and the Figurative Arts » (Rome, 13-14 février 2014)

Baldassarre Peruzzi and the Figurative Arts Rome, Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte February 13-14, 2014

The multi-talented Sienese artist Baldassarre Peruzzi (1481-1536) worked productively in Renaissance Rome as architect, stage-designer, mechanical engineer, and painter. Scholarship on his accomplishments and legacy, however, is currently in a state of fragmentation, where case studies of single works in discreet media lead the research. While much new information has emerged over the last two decades concerning Peruzzi’s buildings, the pictorial activity that was the other center of his career has received far less attention in recent years. As a result, Peruzzi’s place among the artistic and cultural circles of his generation is . . . → En lire plus

For the past decade and a half, numerous research projects have rededicated themselves to the key sources of art history and to editing and commenting on early art historiographical writings (Vasari, Bellori, Sandrart, Malvasia). One main difference between earlier attempts which dealt with these authors is a current approach which no longer concentrates on factual and documentary evidence alone, but which aims to reveal the narrative models and literary strategies of such texts as well. . . . → En lire plus

40th Association of Art Historians Annual Conference, Royal College of Art, London

Session: Making Do – Materiality in the Conceptual Age

The emergence of conceptual art in the United States and post-war Europe marked the most radical change of paradigm since Marcel Duchamp’s ready-made. Advocating the ‘dematerialization’ of the art object and a redefinition of art as a (self-) questioning language, conceptualism challenged received ideas about the production and circulation of artworks. Over recent years, a large body of research has examined the development of conceptual practices in so-called ‘peripheral’ regions, such as Eastern Europe and Latin America, and the ways in . . . → En lire plus

Call for Papers: Parsing the Pixelated: The Histories of Digital Art

Session at the Association of Art Historians 2014 Annual Conference, London

Although digital art precedes the creation of the world wide web in the early 1990s, it is only more recently, facilitated by affordable and widely distributed connected technology, that digital art has become firmly established as an artistic category. Yet the term remains nebulous, including many disparate forms and types of art: from manipulated photographs to interactive installations to works existing on or made by a computer. Furthermore, the History of Art has yet to substantively account for digital art, frequently deferring to . . . → En lire plus

Parution : Les arts de la Nation. Construction nationale et arts visuels en Lettonie, 1905-1934

Suzanne Pourchier-Plasseraud, Les arts de la Nation. Construction nationale et arts visuels en Lettonie, 1905-1934. Rennes : PUR, 2013.

 

Traitant de la construction identitaire nationale, l’auteur a choisi d’illustrer son propos par le cas d’un pays sans histoire étatique ancienne, la Lettonie. Cet ouvrage se focalise sur le rôle des arts visuels qui ont contribué à transformer ce qui n’était au départ qu’une idée nationale culturelle, prônée par une intelligentsia restreinte, en une revendication populaire d’indépendance.

Dans les provinces de la future Lettonie, entre les deux grandes puissances qui les dominaient à la fin du XIXe siècle – la Russie et l’Allemagne – les « éveilleurs » lettons ne pouvaient avoir recours à un passé historique ou à . . . → En lire plus
