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. Seeing art and its surroundings . . . → En lire plus

TU Braunschweig, 08. – 10.04.2014 Deadline-CFP: 21 oct. 2013

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 current generation, like . . . → En lire plus

Appel à contribution : « communication+1: Afterlives of Systems »

Afterlives of Systems

communication+1, Volume 3, 2014

Guest Editors: Christina Vagt, Florian Sprenger

This issue of communication+1 investigates the afterlives of systems since the early 20th century, following Aby Warburgs and Walter Benjamins historiographical concept of afterlife as the transformations and iterations a concept traverses to become productive at a specific moment in time. Under the impression of todays global crisis phenomena and the rise of an ‘ecological paradigm’ (Erich Hörl), we ask for papers that explore these afterlives from a historical or systematic perspective. We are interested in the promises, plausibilities and argumentative resources of system-oriented thinking, holistic or vitalistic worldviews and mechanistic approaches on different fields of knowledge during the . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « What Images Do » (19-21 mars 2014, Copenhague)

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

L’art sacré agit comme un prodigieux catalyseur, et les mémoires lui offrent un champ immense :

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.

Parution : Apprendre à peindre : les ateliers privés à Paris, 1780-1863

Apprendre à peindre : les ateliers privés à Paris, 1780-1863 sous la direction de France Nerlich et d’Alain Bonnet, Tours, Presse Universitaire François Rabelais, 2013.

Où apprenait-on à peindre à Paris au XIXe siècle ? Cette question pourtant cruciale n’a jusqu’à maintenant guère été approfondie par les historiens de l’art dont l’attention était surtout tournée vers le fonctionnement de l’École des beaux-arts. Or les classes de peinture n’y furent introduites qu’en 1863. De la fin du XVIIIe siècle à 1863, c’est dans l’espace hybride des ateliers privés d’enseignement, entre ancienne cellule artisanale et structure académique, que s’inventent et se développent de nouvelles approches du métier de peintre. Au-delà des aspects . . . → En lire plus
