Conférence : L’Autoportrait au XXe siècle, tradition de la modernité ? (Paris, 29 mars 2023)

Conférence : L’Autoportrait au XXe siècle, tradition de la modernité ? (Paris, 29 mars 2023)

La BnF poursuit son cycle de conférences en histoire de l’art avec une deuxième édition consacrée aux questions d’identités artistiques au XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. Cette séance examine les autoportraits peints au cours du XXe siècle.

Le XXe siècle s’est voulu celui de la modernité. Sans tenir compte d’une affirmation comme celle de Giorgio Vasari qui rapporte dans son récit de la vie de Masaccio, publié dans le livre Les Vite, en 1568, que sa « façon de dessiner et de peindre était si originale et si moderne que . . . → En lire plus

Jean-Christophe Bailly, « Paris quand même »

Autour d’un livre (1) : Jean-Christophe Bailly, Paris quand même, Paris 2022

Entretien de l’auteur avec Hanns Zischler (Berlin) et Peter Geimer (Paris) Événement en langue française

Le sujet de ce livre, ce sont les atteintes dont Paris et notamment son cœur ont été victimes ces derniers temps. À la destruction systématique et intégrale de quartiers, qui a été la marque des années 60 et 90 du siècle dernier, a succédé une forme plus subtile mais qui étend son emprise au point de rendre méconnaissable des pans entiers de la ville. Mais à cette ville – qui est à la fois celle du pouvoir et celle qui se vend – continue de s’en opposer une autre, qui continue de se vivre comme le champ d’une expérimentation quotidienne. Cette lutte entre . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communications : Rethinking Art Historical Narratives and Canons (Helsinki, 9-10 Nov 23)

Conference organised by the Society for Art History in Finland and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki.

In the last decades established art historical canons and narratives have increasingly been challenged. Intersectionality, decolonisation, transnational approaches, and the introduction of global art history are only a few examples of the modes of thinking that have gradually emerged from the margins to mainstream art history.

Conventional ways of constructing periodisations and genres based on notions of national specificity and the idea of progress have become highly questionable in the context of recent political, societal, and cultural developments. The urgency of generating new approaches and conceptual and methodological tools has become indisputable. Global and transnational perspectives have not only questioned the self-evidence of national canons, but also that . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : 5th Congress of Art History (Lisbon, 18-20 Oct 23)

The Portuguese Association of Art Historians (APHA) is currently promoting the V Congress of Art History, with the theme “Art History: Legacies, Debates and New Perspectives”. This meeting aims to encourage and affirm the area of Art History in the national scientific environment and to project it internationally. We therefore appeal to the active participation of all those who make the discipline their modus vivendi, such as researchers, scholars, teachers, students and other professionals connected with heritage, whether in monuments or museums, or in town councils, libraries or archives.

Interested in discussing and reconsidering the concept of the discipline, its own work methodology and the main challenges faced today by the art historian, APHA proposes three distinct areas of reviewing: the theoretical inheritance received by the local Art . . . → En lire plus

Appel à contribution : Journal18, #17: Color

Proposals for issue #17: Color (Spring 2024) are now being accepted.

The question of color has been at the center of artistic debates at least since the seventeenth century, and it has remained a key issue in the historiography of art. What may be at stake in reconsidering color in its historical dimensions now? Recent research on the issue has gone in two directions. On the one hand, color has been studied as a material substance and a technology. Scholars have documented the relation between technological, industrial, and commercial developments and the quality, range, and availability of pigments and colorants available to artists, manufacturers, and consumers. Another approach has focused on the key role of color in the construction of social, racial, and gender hierarchies. Recent scholarship has . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communications : Making, Breaking, and Remaking (Edinburgh/online, 19 May 23)

Conference: Historical Fragments: Making, Breaking, and Remaking, hosted by the Material and Visual Culture in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Research Cluster, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art.

Taking ‘fragmentation’ as the conceptual starting point for the day, the Material and Visual Culture in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Research Cluster is hosting a one-day hybrid conference that considers the materiality and shifting conditions of global objects and collections (focusing on the time period 1500-1800) as they are broken, fragmented, remade, or assembled. Seeking to investigate the ‘brokenness’ of such material culture objects and collections, the conference will de-centre conservation and restoration which often dominate discourse on the subject.

The Research Cluster aims to provide a space to foster interdisciplinary discussion centred around approaching fragmented objects . . . → En lire plus

appel à communication : Exploring Visual Representations from the Holocaust (Jena, 9-12 Oct 23)

“To tear these images from time”: Exploring Visual Representations from Nazi Camps, Ghettos, and the Holocaust.

The chair for Art History at Jena University seeks applications for an international conference that will take place in Jena from October 9-12, 2023. The conference will probe the potential of analytical approaches to drawings, sculptures, albums, paintings, and other visual artifacts that were created in extremis within National Socialist camps, ghettos, and in hiding as well as in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust and World War II.

It is due to the great merit of a few persistent survivors, archivists, and historians that the scattered artifacts were collected, and the biographies and circumstances of production recorded. However, in particular images depicting Nazi crimes through mostly figurative means have been widely neglected in . . . → En lire plus
