PAPER CITIES: URBAN PORTRAITS in PHOTOGRAPHIC BOOKS

Specialist Session at the 12th International Conference on Urban History

Cities have always been incredibly photogenic places. Panoramic cityscapes configure an early and important photographic domain, while the so called ‘street photography’ persisted as one of the most popular genres within the documentary style. From the very initial years of the photographic medium, to the later democratic turn of photographic practices, or to the recent age of digital and immaterial pictures, cities have remained attractive subjects for the photographer’s eye.

While photography reaffirms its central role in visually conveying and proposing urban . . . → En lire plus

The ‘Mediatization’ of the Artist

EYE Film Institute, Amsterdam/Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), The Hague, 19-20 June 2014 Deadline: Dec 13, 2013

Call for papers: The international conference The Mediatization of the Artist aims to examine the various aspects of the visual-media presence of the artist from the nineteenth century to today. With the rise of notions of artistic autonomy and the simultaneous demise of old systems of patronage, artists increasingly found themselves confronted with the necessity of developing a public image. At the same time, new audiences for art discovered their fascination for the life and work of the artist. The rise of new media . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : Le spectateur en mouvement (Nottingham, 4-5 juillet 2014)

The Mobile Spectator: viewing on the move

Conference dates: Friday 4- Saturday 5 July 2014, University of Nottingham, UK

In theories of looking at art, spectators are usually assumed to be static, having arrived at a correct viewing position before a given work of art. Yet in our experiences of art, vision and movement are inseparable. Travel is often a prerequisite to putting oneself in a position to be able to see something, or to see it properly; physical effort is required to address the object or image appropriately. Works of art usually inhabit spaces which necessitate adjustment of the viewer’s position. Institutions of art require active engagements such . . . → En lire plus

This session seeks to bring together scholars whose work relates to monopolies – whether material, political, religious, spatial, or temporal – and how they affected the built environment and the methods by which urban spaces developed.

40th Association of Art Historians Annual Conference, Royal College of Art, London

Session: Within a frame. Boundary, interaction and transition between art and its surroundings

Session Convenors: Daniela Roberts, Stuart Ager

The relationship between an artwork and its frame continues to be a matter for on-going academic discussion. With the introduction of detachable frames, which opened up the possibility of replacing original frames, often for the reason of taste or to suit a collection display, the continuity between painting and frames has been increasingly overlooked.

Jewish Architecture – New Sources and Approaches Internationale Tagung / International conference

Jewish sacred and profane buildings have been part of the architecture and cityscapes since antiquity; the earliest findings of Jewish settlements and buildings in northern Europe date back to medieval times. During the course of the centuries, a broad range of structures that are essential for Jewish congregational life were constructed: synagogues, mikva’ot, cemeteries, Taharah houses, kosher slaughterhouses, bakeries, etc. The turn from the 19th to the 20th centuries marks the biggest growth of Jewish life in Europe that underwent a fundamental break during the Nazi era.

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, March 19 – 21, 2014 Deadline-CFP: 1 nov. 2013

What Images Do Symposium

Confirmed keynotes: Georges Didi-Huberman – Jonathan Hay – Jacques Rancière

The aim of this symposium is to contribute to our understanding of what the image does (its pragma). The awkward entanglement of being and non-being (Plato) calls for an examination of the image as an act or event. Through its event, the image-act instigates an image-related reflection upon the issues of being and non-being, physis and semiosis, actuality and potentiality. The concept of iconic difference as coined by art historian and philosopher Gottfried Boehm is vital to our concern. Iconic . . . → En lire plus

To coincide with the latest in a series of contemporary interventions, Yinka Shonibare MBE at Greenwich, Royal Museums Greenwich is organising a conference on 14 February 2014 to explore the role of contemporary art outside the white cube.

In recent years it has become increasingly popular for museums and historic buildings to invite living artists to respond to their buildings or collections by curating, creating or performing on site. What has been the impact of this popular collaborative trend for artists, museums and their audiences?

Appel à communication : « Baldassarre Peruzzi and the Figurative Arts » (Rome, 13-14 février 2014)

Baldassarre Peruzzi and the Figurative Arts Rome, Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte February 13-14, 2014

The multi-talented Sienese artist Baldassarre Peruzzi (1481-1536) worked productively in Renaissance Rome as architect, stage-designer, mechanical engineer, and painter. Scholarship on his accomplishments and legacy, however, is currently in a state of fragmentation, where case studies of single works in discreet media lead the research. While much new information has emerged over the last two decades concerning Peruzzi’s buildings, the pictorial activity that was the other center of his career has received far less attention in recent years. As a result, Peruzzi’s place among the artistic and cultural circles of his generation is still known . . . → En lire plus

Conference organized by Alessandro Nova and Fabian Jonietz

For the past decade and a half, numerous research projects have rededicated themselves to the key sources of art history and to editing and commenting on early art historiographical writings (Vasari, Bellori, Sandrart, Malvasia). One main difference between earlier attempts which dealt with these authors is a current approach which no longer concentrates on factual and documentary evidence alone, but which aims to reveal the narrative models and literary strategies of such texts as well. This fact . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : The Artist’s Lament. Turning Crisis and Turmoil into Text and Image between the Reformation and the French Revolution

Call for papers: View of Delft after the Delft Explosion of 12 October 1654, in which most of the city was damaged. Turning Crisis and Turmoil into Text and Image between the Reformation and the French Revolution

The life and work world of early modern artists were characterised by profound crises and upheavals which have been treated only in an elementary fashion by social historians. The planned conference does not wish to pinpoint an individually experienced crisis (for example, death of the wife, artist’s illness) but extreme events leading to turning points in history with an effect on the artist as an individual. We have in mind especially the Reformation, the Thirty Years’ War, the division of the Netherlands, the French Revolution, persecution . . . → En lire plus
