International Symposium: The Territories of Artists’ Periodicals

periodicalThis symposium seeks to provide a venue for dialogue between researchers, artists, publishers, librarians and others interested in artists’ periodicals in order to bring into focus the many issues and themes that constitute the terrain of these publications. We have chosen the 1950s as the starting date for this symposium as we believe this decade is the crucial moment in which artists’ periodicals develop as a distinct and identifiable medium.

The key development that defines the periodicals under discussion is the observation that artists’ periodicals . . . → En lire plus

All women art spaces as heterotopias

University of Helsinki, open panel at the Fourth Biennial Conference of the European Network for Avant-garde and Modernism Studies (www.eam2014.com)

helsinkiOne of the important elements of the women’s art movement emerging in the 1970s was the creation of all women art spaces. They existed for a longer period of time or just during one exhibition or even one performance. They were to offer an alternative to the unfriendly reality of male-dominated art world and aimed at creating an environment where women artists could address the experiences of women.

Appel à communication : « Legal Bodies » (15-17 mai 2014, Leyde)

LUCAS (the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society) will host a three-day conference

Legal Bodies: Corpus / Persona / Communitas

bodyOn the various ways in which literary texts and art works have represented, interrogated or challenged juridical notions of ‘personhood’. The guiding assumption behind this conference is that ‘personhood’ is not a (biologically) given, stable property of human beings that precedes their interaction with the law but rather that the notion of ‘personhood’ is assigned to selected ‘bodies’ by discursive regimes, such as law, medicine, politics, religion, and education. The focus of this conference is on how literature, art and culture might form domains in which the implications . . . → En lire plus

movingbodyAccording to Jean-Claude Schmitt, “the dead have no existence other than that which the living imagine for them” – and sometimes, the living not only force them to exist in their memory but also to persist materially. By keeping the mortal remains above the earth, by dividing them, manipulating them and moving them to different places, the deceased are assigned a very active role within the world of the living. The title of this workshop includes, however, also a second “species” of migrating bodily fragments, namely body . . . → En lire plus

Looking for Leisure. Court Residences and their Satellites, 1400-1700

palatiumThis PALATIUM conference draws attention to small buildings in residential complexes – small in size but not in importance – which were meant only for temporary, seasonal use, unlike the permanent use of the main palace. The role of the palazotto (‘small palace’) was to be a place of rest, leisure and repose, but sometimes it also took on a representative role similar to the main palace. As these ‘satellites’ were usually new buildings rather than rebuilt older structures, they offer a much clearer view of the incentives, intentions and concepts of the clients . . . → En lire plus

Emblems and Enigma: the Heraldic Imagination An Interdisciplinary Symposium at the Society of Antiquaries of London

emblems‘Time has transfigured them into / Untruth’ (Philip Larkin)

Proliferating and arcane, unique, ubiquitous, and inscrutable, the heraldic has been a major presence across the arts since medieval times; yet it remains, culturally and critically, enigmatic.
