Appel à communication : « Design and Research in Architecture » (13-15 juin 2013, Hanovre)

Design and Research in Architecture Reflexive Design 13-15 June 2013 3. Symposium on Design and Research in Architecture Faculty of Architecture and Landscape Sciences, Leibniz Universität Hannover

‘Reflexive Design’ defines a research agenda for architecture that explicitly addresses the growth of knowledge as an intrinsic part of the design process. The realized project, often predominant in both architectural discourse and practice, obscures the actual relevance of thought in the process of architectural design. This process interactively comprises the continuous growth of implicit and explicit knowledge that precedes and exceeds the single project. This process shapes the attitude that includes styles of thought and approaches to architecture as well as . . . → En lire plus

Berlin, Art Laboratory Berlin / Theater Glaskasten, July 5 – 06, 2013 Deadline-CFP: 29 avr. 2013

As a theoretical addition to our ongoing exhibition series SYNAESTHESIA (October 2012 – July 2013/ http://artlaboratory-berlin.org/home_eng.htm), Art Laboratory Berlin plans an international interdisciplinary conference to further explore and theoretically question the field of multisensory perception.

The term « synaesthesia », from the Greek « aisthesis » (« Sensation », « sensory impression ») and « syn » (« together ») means the experience of two or more sensory impressions at the same time. Currently there is a strikingly strong interest in the coupling of the senses in science, humanities and . . . → En lire plus

The International Warburg Lectures in Hamburg and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, in collaboration with the “Entartete Kunst” (”Degenerate Art”) Research Center in Hamburg, invite proposals for a two-part workshop on the art market under National Socialism. The workshop for emerging scholars aims to address fundamental questions on the confluence of the history of art, economics, and the law. Case studies from disparate sectors of the Third Reich’s art market will be considered, such as official and clandestine transactions, national and international sales, stolen and looted art, the seizure and disposal of “degenerate art” from German museums, the expropriation of art from Jewish collectors, and . . . → En lire plus

Parution : « Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718). Entre architecture et sciences »

Antonio Becchi, Hélène Rousteau-Chambon et Joël Sakarovitch (dir.), Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718). Entre architecture et sciences. Paris : Picard, 2013

Personnage fascinant et polymorphe, Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718) reste un savant relativement peu étudié. Ses travaux de géométrie le font bientôt entrer à l’Académie royale des sciences, où il devient cartographe du royaume avec l’abbé Picard, s’intéresse à l’hydraulique, à la gnomonique, à la physiologie, à la botanique et à l’astronomie. Nommé professeur à l’Académie royale d’architecture en 1687, il rédige, outre de nombreux mémoires, un Traité de coupe des pierres puis un Traité d’architecture.

Appel à communication : « After Representation: Architecture displays itself » (9-13 avril 2014, Austin)

Austin, Texas, Society of Architectural Historians 67th Annual Conference, April 9 – 13, 2014 Deadline-CFP: 1 juin 2013

In the past couple of decades, architectural discourse has increasingly focused on issues of representation. Research has stressed that architecture is not confined to the physical object, but that it appears in a variety of different media. Consequently, various forms of visual representation have been investigated as carriers of architectural knowledge. Conversely, architecture’s capacity of evoking a strong sense of physical, spatial, and material presence as well as establishing what Michael Fried called “presentness” of the object, has shifted out of focus. This session investigates instances of architectural communication . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Sensationalism and the Genealogy of Modernity » (18-19 décembre 2013, Tel Aviv)

Sensationalism and the Genealogy of Modernity

A Two-Day International Workshop

Tel Aviv University, December, 18-19, 2013

Deadline-CFP: 31 juil. 2013

A vast tradition of literary and theoretical reflections has mapped modernity in the fragmented, synaesthetic experience that characterizes urban life. From the paratactic verses of Wordswoth’s Prelude describing the city of London, to the discussion of the ‘shock’ effect and the hyper-stimultion of the urban sensorium in the works of Walter Benjamin, George Simmel, and, most recently, Ben Singer, the bombardment of ever changing stimuli targeting the perception of the urban flâneur has been set against a tradition of aesthetic and epistemological concern valuing the intuited principle . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Regionalisms and Modernisms in Dialogue » (30 octobre-2 novembre 2013, Greensboro, NC)

Call for Papers for the panel: Reciprocal Exchanges: Regionalisms and Modernisms in Dialogue (As part of The Southeastern College Art Conference 2013 Annual Conference, Greensboro, NC)

Recently, art historians have zealously endeavored to decenter or re-center formulations of modernisms (or Modernisms) away from the dominant urban centers of Paris, Berlin, London, and New York and toward artistic activities in more peripheral locations. Though exploring the native milieux of various modern artists has illuminated the significance of regional academic traditions and aesthetic preferences, as well as historical contingencies of place and geography, these studies have often privileged analysis of these peripheral circumstances over creating dialogue with the narratives . . . → En lire plus

Appel à contribution : « Images revues n° 12 : Arts de l’oubli »

Arts de l’oubli Formes et re-présentations

Ce numéro se propose d’analyser des images et des formes de l’oubli de l’Antiquité à nos jours.

Au fil des siècles, mémoire et oubli ont été à tour de rôle les dépositaires de valeurs sociales, culturelles, philosophiques, politiques, artistiques et, selon les époques et les contextes, ont pu prendre des significations opposées et/ou complémentaires.

Des Lotophages homériques aux Tristia d’Ovide, du mythe d’Er dans la République de Platon à la naissance des muses (oubli des maux) dans la Théogonie d’Hésiode, l’oubli a été décrit comme étant un obstacle à dépasser mais aussi comme une ressource, à savoir un passage incontournable avant le retour à . . . → En lire plus

Parution : « L’artiste en représentation. Images des artistes dans l’art du XIXe siècle » (cat. expo. La Roche-sur-Yon, 2012-2013)

L’ARTISTE EN REPRESENTATION. IMAGES DES ARTISTES DANS L’ART DU XIXE SIECLE

Au XIXe siècle, l’artiste devint une image ; il acquit une dimension symbolique, inconnue auparavant, qui se déclina sous la forme de différents avatars. Ces identités mouvantes conduisirent à faire de l’artiste un type social nouveau. L’indétermination de la nature de l’artiste s’exprima dans la multiplicité des identifications qui servaient à éclairer sa personnalité : les artistes furent assimilés aussi bien à Prométhée qu’à Moïse ou au Christ, à un dandy qu’à un bohème, à un martyr qu’à une figure satanique, à un rebelle qu’à un homme du monde, à un solitaire reclus dans son atelier qu’à un . . . → En lire plus

Chicago, CAA Annual Conference, February 12 – 15, 2014 Deadline-CFP: 6 mai 2013

Objects, Objectives, Objections: The Goals and Limits of the New Materialisms in Art History Our colleagues in the rest of the academy seem suddenly to be in thrall to things. Scholars in fields ranging from political theory to literature are moving away from an understanding of the world centered on people and texts, and towards a reconsideration of the interrelationships among all things, including humans. Artists and art historians, having always attended to the confluence of things and people, seem to be welcoming this shift with a mixture of delight and circumspection. It is our contention that . . . → En lire plus

This year’s eikones Summer School of the NCCR Iconic Criticism will explore the following themes in three transdisciplinary courses:

Formal borrowings will be considered along with diegetic, technical, and ideological appropriations; the realm of the avant-garde will be discussed as well as that of the culture industry.

26 June 2013, Humanities Research Centre, University of York

In May 1884 the art critic Marion Harry Spielmann wrote in defence of the often criticised profession of art criticism: ‘The critic – (I am not now referring to the mere notice writer of daily journalism) – spends his life in devotion not only to art but to artists: and, so far as public recognition is concerned, he reaps his reward in sneers and ‘chaff’: sneers from painters, thoughtless and irresponsible, like Mr Whistler; indifference . . . → En lire plus
