Si les ingénieurs du Roi des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles ont fait l’objet d’études approfondies, notamment autour de la figure emblématique de Vauban, leurs prédécesseurs restent les grands oubliés de l’histoire française des fortifications. Pourtant, ces « précurseurs » jouèrent un rôle fondamental dans la diffusion des idées et des techniques. Parmi eux, se détache un nombre conséquent d’ingénieurs italiens entrés au service du roi de France. Venant pour la plupart de la République de Florence, des Etats pontificaux et plus tard du duché de Milan, actifs dans toutes les zones de conflits des débuts de l’époque moderne, ils se démarquent par leur polyvalence, leur goût pour l’invention et leur maîtrise du dessin, à l’origine de la réputation d’artistes-ingénieurs, . . . → En lire plus

Through this project we address how developments in sculpture have impacted upon the spaces of exhibition, how the material conditions of the display of sculpture have played increasingly important roles in the meaning and making of sculpture as an art form, how the modes of presenting sculpture have shifted and how curatorial practice has impacted on the understanding of sculpture, and vice versa.The formal exhibition, staged indoors in the spaces of the art gallery or museum or outdoors in the sculpture park or urban setting, is key to these histories.

The figure of the ‘global architect’ is only the most obvious symbol of a deeper restructuring that has changed the system of architectural production. Processes of commodification, economization and financialization, which have affected urban space and urban development, have made architecture a primary vehicle of urban restructuring.

Call for Papers Architecture at the Ragged Edge of Empire: Race, Place, Taste and the Colonial Context. In his History of Queensland (2007), the historian Raymond Evans described the penal outpost of Moreton Bay (est. 1824 and later to become the colony of Queensland in 1859) as existing at the “ragged edge of Empire.” Initially a site of secondary punishment for reoffending convicts, ensuring it was both geographically and morally remote from the imperial centre, the later colony was also climatically diverse (ranging from the sub-tropical to the tropical), racially conflicted (the Indigenous population at times outnumbering convicts . . . → En lire plus Les commentaires sont clos Colloques, journées d'études, Événements Architecture, Australie, Colonialisme, XIXe Appel à candidature : Bourse Art et Architecture en Europe XIIIe-XVIIe siècles.

CALL FOR PAPERS 39th Annual Cleveland Symposium Splendor: Exploring Value in the History of Art The 39th Annual Cleveland Symposium, to be held at the Cleveland Museum of Art on October 11, 2013, invites graduate submissions examining the theme of splendor in the visual arts. This symposium aims to explore how works of art are elevated to become objects that are prized or venerated. Specifically, in discussing the value afforded a work, we seek to further understand its historical context, materiality, visibility, agenda, and cultural significance, whether through the object’s physicality or representational function. The grandeur and renown of a work . . . → En lire plus
Envisioning the Eucharist: Transcending the Literal in Medieval and Byzantine Art The Association of Scholars of Christianity in the History of Art (ASCHA) seeks papers that examine how Eucharistic doctrine was propagated – or challenged – in Byzantine and medieval art from the twelfth to fifteenth centuries. We are especially interested in how artists envisioned the Eucharist theologically and transcended literal representaiton of the Last Supper to convey other dimensions of the Eucharistic Mystery. Immediate examples include the Gregory Mass or Byzantine melismos (the infant Christ depicted on the paten), but how else was somatic presence visually expressed? . . . → En lire plus
Revision, Revival and Return: The Italian Renaissance in the Nineteenth-Century The object of this conference is the Renaissance revival as a Pan-European phenomenon of critique, commentary and re-shaping of a nineteenth-century present perceived as deeply problematic. Sweeping the humanistic disciplines—history, literature, music, art, architecture, collecting etc—it marked the oeuvre of as diverse a group of figures as Ingres and EM Forster, Geymüller and Hildebrand, Michelet and Burckhardt, HH Richardson and Rilke, Carducci and De Sanctis. Though some perceived it as a “Golden Age”, a model for the present, some cast it as a negative example, thus showing that the triumphalist . . . → En lire plus
Much recent historiography has focused on scholars of ‘Art History’ but many of these made considerable contributions to architectural history, from Heinrich Wölfflin whose Renaissance und Barock is essentially architectural history, to Rudolf Wittkower whose impact is usually assessed in relation to the architectural profession and Modernist architecture. Cornelius Gurlitt, Geoffrey Scott, Hans Sedlmayr, Nikolaus Pevsner, Colin Rowe, Venturi and Scott Brown are just some of the names that come to mind and Studies in Art Historiography welcomes proposals for volumes dedicated to relevant themes in architectural historiography as well as individual studies of significant figures in the field.

Colloque Junior du CIERA Paris, 21 janvier 2013 Longtemps considérée comme le miroir d’une sensibilité inscrite dans un cadre« national », la création n’en est pas moins le champ privilégié du « métissage » et de l’ « hybridation » culturelle. Transferts culturels, exils, multiplications des échanges n’ont cessé d’entraîner l’art dans les flots de mutations qui contribuèrent à créer et développer différents champs de la création artistique. De nouvelles formes, représentations et conceptions esthétiques se diffusèrent, rejetant les balises imposées jusqu’alors par des cadres strictement géographiques déterminés par une approche essentiellement européenne de l’art. Or s’il est bien le reflet de nos sociétés, l’art est tout autant le parfait témoin des mutations et des apports . . . → En lire plus Les commentaires sont clos Colloques, journées d'études, Événements Méthode, Technique/matériau, Transpériode
