Rimouski, Québec, Canada, 83e Congrès Annuel de l’ACFAS, «Sortir des sentiers battus», May 28 – 29, 2015 Deadline: Feb 16, 2015 Le colloque «Arts des Mondes / Mondes des Arts : pluralité des objets, pratiques et discours dans la francophonie» aura lieu les 28 et 29 mai 2015 dans le cadre du 83e Congrès Annuel de l’ACFAS, «Sortir des sentiers battus». L’histoire de l’art et la muséologie restent encore bien souvent cloisonnées à leurs propres frontières non seulement théoriques, mais aussi linguistiques et territoriales. Pourtant, une observation des pratiques professionnelles semble indiquer à la fois des porosités et des impasses dans ces champs de recherche. Prenant appui, mais sans toutefois se limiter, . . . → En lire plus
The workshop addresses postgraduate students, who are preparing a thesis on any topic related to medieval church architecture between the 9th and 14th century. It aims to be a platform for the discussion of individual research projects and current results. The circle of participants is intended to include art historians and building researchers as well as theologians, historians, archeologists and architects, in order to enable an interdisciplinary exchange.

The Courtauld Institute, London, June 5 – 06, 2015 Deadline: Feb 15, 2015 Crash and Burn: Destruction in American Art Friday 5 – Saturday 6 June 2015 The Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN Destruction has long occupied a central position in the construction of an American national image. From Cotton Mather’s description of Boston as ‘the City of Destruction’ to the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, the sheer visual force of destruction has repeatedly left an indelible mark on the collective psyche. As historians such as Richard Slotkin and Kevin Rozario have demonstrated, violent and destructive episodes have been inextricably linked with the apparently opposing forces of . . . → En lire plus

Technology also normally carries with it a set of presuppositions, shaped by the design, function, and purpose of its machines and processes. But, as André Breton insisted, objects can be reassembled, their function and perception diverted to alternative ends. He saw the possibility for ‘a total revolution of the . . . → En lire plus

Deadline for sending abstracts: 15th January, 2015 The Institute of Art History, Jagiellonian University, Cracow Thanks to extensive research and exhibitions in recent years our knowledge and understanding of portraiture in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance has deepened significantly. Many detailed studies have problematised this genre and departed from a portrait’s simple equation with a mimetically accurate likeness. Current interpretations show that in the later Middle Ages, when more sophisticated tactics of representing nature started to be employed, the individualised likeness was meant not to imitate actual facial features, but rather to be a visual staging, a rhetorical commentary in which the individual’s virtues and qualities were conveyed. Likeness thus understood . . . → En lire plus
The Courtauld Institute of Art, London, May 9, 2015 Deadline: Feb 2, 2015 Between Heaven and Earth: Ecclesiastical Patronage in Europe, 1400-1600 Third Annual Renaissance Postgraduate Symposium In recent years, the artistic commissions of ecclesiastic and lay patrons – both individual and collective – have been a fruitful area of scholarship. Research addressing issues of sacred space, devotional practice, and the materiality of extant objects has generated new insights into the artistic provisions made for patronal commemoration and salvation. Often, however, the interests of lay and ecclesiastical patrons have been considered separately, with a lesser focus on how the differences in their status mediated a shared pursuit of commemoration in death. . . . → En lire plus
6 février 2015, Université Rennes 2 Appel à communication, deadline: 12 décembre 2014 Lorsque Joseph Beuys déclare : « Tout homme est un artiste », il ne fait que réaffirmer le souhait exprimé au conditionnel par Novalis en 1798 : « Tout homme devrait être artiste. » (Glaube und Liebe). Lorsqu’il déclare : « Je ne veux pas faire entrer l’art dans la politique, mais faire de la politique un art », il ne fait que réaffirmer la nécessité exprimée par Schiller en 1796 de commencer à réfléchir sur le rapport entre art et politique au niveau d’un « État esthétique » transcendantal avant toute politisation réelle de l’art (Briefe über . . . → En lire plus
University of Vienna, Department of Art History (Austria), February 26 -27, 2015 Deadline: Dec 14, 2014 Art & Science: Conference on Empirical Methods in Art History and Visual Studies Over the last decade we have been observing a new trend in the humanities towards the systematic use of empirical methods. Art History and especially Visual Studies are no exception to this trend. The new methods often stem from Psychology and Neurology or the Social and Computational Sciences. They include computational methods and questionnaires, as well as physiological measures, i.e. eye-tracking, facial electromyography (fEMG) and skin conductance response measurement (SCR/GSR) or electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The incorporation of these methods . . . → En lire plus
