the Tansey Miniatures Foundation held its first conference on European portrait miniatures (http://tansey-miniatures.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/tansey-flyer-2012-09-28-screen.pdf). At the time a conscious decision was made to cover a broad spectrum. It is precisely the consideration of miniature painting from various viewpoints that opens up an in-depth understanding of this special form of portraiture. The 2016 conference will therefore once again cover a wide range of aspects:

Deadline: Nov 30, 2015

The term ‘post-photography’ seems to imply rejection of what photography is or used to mean. Digital technology, by offering potentially limitless scope for manipulating images, questions the very possibility for the world to be truthfully represented by mechanical means. The post-photographic turn profoundly affected the study of photography, its history and theory. It has proven that the equation between the camera and the eye is mainly a metaphorical one and that the discussion of photography needs not be limited to the image itself, thereby opening the field of research beyond the study of photography as art. Despite this, much of the photographic practice . . . → En lire plus

Afternoon Symposium on a Willem van de Velde I pen-painting Dutch artist Willem van de Velde I (1611-1693) developed the subgenre of “pen-paintings” in the 17th-century. These astonishingly detailed works, executed with fine brushes and quill pens, are rare, particularly in American collections.

(York, 20 Nov 15) Kings Manor, University of York, Exhibition Square, York, UK, November 20, 2015

Most historians agree that Venice was at the height of its economic might during the first half of the fifteenth century, sending galleys on numerous shipping routes which poured rivers of gold into its patrician hands. Venice’s attention, however, was not limited to trade. During the span of three doges (Michele Steno, Tommaso Mocenigo and Francesco Foscari), Venice ferociously expanded into Italy’s mainland, rejecting the non-interventionist approach that it had maintained for centuries. With new land, needs and pressures, society and culture rapidly changed. And yet, the history of art has mostly remained silent about this frantic period. What . . . → En lire plus

La création d’une Agence dédiée à l’accompagnement des politiques de valorisation du patrimoine immatériel de l’Etat en atteste. En 2006, le rapport Lévy-Jouyet a fourni les prémisses de cette politique d’optimisation, désignant plus particulièrement les musées comme fers de lance de ces marques culturelles.

Deadline: Jan 15, 2016 Art and Politics in Europe in the Modern Period

The position and status of art and artist changed considerably in Europe in the modern period, primarily with the formulation of the concept of artistic genius and the new division of labour that separated artists from artisans. Those dealing with art were looked upon as individuals possessing an extraordinary talent that transcended mere skill. Regardless of this new individuality, artistic genius cannot be equated with complete autonomy. Although no longer dependent upon brotherhoods and gilds, artistic practice was nevertheless . . . → En lire plus
