Biennial of Contemporary Photography and Moving Image’. Venue: ‘Benjamin Fondane’ Hall at the French Institute, Iași (Romania). Argument: In the last years, striated by a multitude of crises — economical, political and cultural crises —, the photographic practices have created ethical tensions and they have been politicized out of a necessity to speculate the opportunity of transforming the reality.

 La représentation sculpturale du pouvoir : la France, l’Italie et leur rayonnement en Europe à l’époque moderne
Colloque international organisé par l École Pratique des Hautes Études et la Société Historique et Littéraire Polonaise
Sous le haut patronage de l’Ambassadeur de la République de Pologne les 17 et 18 mars 2016
Bibliothèque Polonaise de Paris
Dès l’Antiquité, la sculpture jouait toujours un rôle crucial dans la propagande du pouvoir et son importance augmenta encore depuis le début de la Renaissance. En France, au cours de l’époque moderne, la redécouverte puis l’étude de la sculpture héritée de l’Antiquité, portée par le pouvoir royal, ont donné lieu à l’élaboration progressive de formes que l’historiographie a qualifiée de classiques. Fruit du dialogue entre . . . → En lire plus

 Kritische berichte Issue 4, 2016 Gender 2.0 New Ideas on “Gender” in the Arts and Cultural Studies Call for Papers Edited by Änne Söll and Linda Hentschel “Has gender become the latest currency on the neo-liberal market of opportunities?” one might ask, echoing the words of Anne Fleig. Has the term “gender” meanwhile forfeited its potential to advance the critical analysis of power relations? Or is it still in all its complexity a useful filter through which to critically review (and tackle) issues of gender attribution and the construction of identity? How are we facing up to the increasingly widespread “anti-genderism” (Sabine Hark)? What role does “gender” play in general today in research in the arts and in cultural studies?

 Seeing Through? The Materiality of Dioramas (Bern, 1-2 Dec 16) University of Bern, December 1 – 02, 2016 Deadline: May 31, 2016 Seeing Through? The Materiality of Dioramas (1560-2010) Dioramas are at the crossroads of artistic and scientific practices. They bring together artists, scientists, and collectors, thus providing an opportunity to reflect on the polyvalence of these actors and the definition of their expertise. In 1822, Louis Daguerre coined the term “diorama” when describing his theater. The word diorama means literally “seeing through.” In accordance with this etymology, dioramas embody a sense of transparency and life-likeness. In addition to providing theatrical and visual experiences, dioramas are multidimensional installations that incorporate paintings, objects, stuffed animals or mannequins.

First known under the label of « Street Art », the term has expanded to include diverse artistic and visual interventions in the exterior space. In contrast to the traditional term ‘public art’ Urban Art is very inclusive. Thus, it is both part of and reflective of current processes of global urbanization. The extremely heterogeneous manifestations of Urban Art range from large-scale wall paintings to tiny stickers, performative interventions to alternative forms of urban planning; they . . . → En lire plus

University of Oxford, June 18 2016. THE IMAGE IS NOT an idea. It is a radiant node or cluster; it is what I can, and must perforce, call a VORTEX, from which, and through which, and into which, ideas are constantly rushing. – Ezra Pound, Vorticism, 1914. It is hard to find a definition of what an image is. Most of those ‘definitions’ content themselves with saying what an image is not. It is not (merely) a symbol; it is not (merely) a form of language; it is . . . → En lire plus

Trade routes, centres of production and patterns of consumption were determining factors that stimulated the influx of luxury cloth and textiles into established fashion and textile markets, while second-hand garments developed their own trajectory. Being sold at auctions and dealer shops, they sometimes enjoyed a second life and were often refashioned. The entire cost related to the fashioning of . . . → En lire plus

 Textile Gifts in the Middle Ages – Objects, Actors, and Representations International Conference Organized by Christiane Elster, Stephanie Luther, Stefanie Seeberg and Tanja Michalsky As art history has given greater attention to material culture and its social contexts as a whole, the applied arts have also re-entered the scope of art historical discourse. Cultural-historical approaches, such as those employed in material culture studies, explore the objectness of artifacts and their efficacy. Related are studies of objects as mediums of symbolic communication, in which such objects are described and interpreted as part of complex performances of ritual and ceremony. Gifts of textiles in the Middle Ages provide a test field for the evaluation of such questions and approaches for the discipline of . . . → En lire plus

 The Rood in Medieval Britain and Ireland c.900 – c.1500 (York, 2-9 Sep 16) University of York UK, September 2 – 03, 2016 Deadline: Mar 30, 2016 Keynote Speaker: Professor Richard Marks (University of Cambridge and University of York) The rood – understood as the cross itself, and/or the image of Christ crucified – was central to the visual and devotional culture of medieval Christianity. By the late middle ages, a rood was present in monumental form, either painted or sculpted, at the east end of the nave of every church. Yet roods in numerous other forms could be found in ecclesiastical contexts: as images, in various sizes and media – in manuscript illumination, on textiles, and in stained glass.

 Call for Papers Networked Images. Artistic Practices Before and After the Internet Workshop In their anthology « Mass Effect. Art and the Internet in the Twenty-First Century » (2015) the editors Lauren Cornell and Ed Halter describe the internet as a « true mass medium » which has fundamentally changed every form of cultural activity. Art is no exception; its conception, production and distribution are seen as determined by the new digital technology. Much current debate revolves around whether artistic practices involving the internet allow for a critical perspective on this inevitable immanence. David Joselit maintains that contemporary positions that are in digital conjunction with the material they use are completely integrated into the networks of today’s communications cycles (2012).

 Netherlands Yearbook for History of Art, Vol. 67 : Netherlandish Sculpture of the 16th Century
Sculpture was one of the principal arts in the Low Countries during the 16th century, an important vehicle for supporting the interests of the nobility and the church in particular. The period saw the transition from a ‘Gothic’ to an ‘antique’ artistic mode, a transformation in which sculpture assumed a leading role. Throughout the century, Netherlandish sculpture was a prestigious and favored export product—from carved oak altarpieces to alabaster reliefs, brass epitaphs, and huisaltaren – while at the same time many sculptors from the Low Countries travelled extensively through Europe.
Until quite recently, surveys of early modern art in Northern Europe rarely included much sculpture. Only . . . → En lire plus
