Appels à communication : Session at RSA (San Francisco, 19-21 Feb 26): Mythology in court culture of the early modern period – new approaches

Appels à communication : Session at RSA (San Francisco, 19-21 Feb 26): Mythology in court culture of the early modern period – new approaches

The syncretism between mythological themes and Christian culture was a defining feature of the Renaissance and played a significant role in shaping its foundations. This fusion involved the reception of pagan motifs within a Christian cultural framework, most notably, the incorporation of mythological themes into the art and symbolism of royal and aristocratic courts.

This session will focus on the causes and manifestations of classical tradition’s integration into early modern European court culture. As mythological themes were . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : Lighting the Artwork: Sensory Perception and Shifting Contexts of Display (Chicago, 18-21 février 2026)

CAA 114TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE Chicago, February 18–21, 2026

From Peter Paul Ruben’s Ecstasy of St Gregory (1608), a masterpiece that has been rejected once placed in the Roman church Santa Maria in Vallicella due to its unsettling lighting effects in situ, up to Olafur Eliasson’s The Weather Project (2003) that unfolded its full sensual potential and artifice only when leaving the studio and being installed in its public setting – artworks often undergo dramatic perceptual shifts when presented outside their space of creation. Lighting effects add to the materiality of the artwork in a somewhat unstable and ephemeral way, either by being deliberately integrated in its creation and exhibition, . . . → En lire plus

Re:assemblages Symposium (Lagos, 4-5 Nov 25)

Re:assemblages Symposium

Alliance Française de Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria, Nov 4–05, 2025

Provocation: What does it mean to think with African and Afro-diasporic art archives as living, contested, and future-shaping spaces?

The 20th century can be read as a formative ecotonal space—an unsettled, generative borderland where networks fractured and reformed, collaborations ignited, and tensions gave way to new modes of relation. Within this compressed terrain, distinct ecologies of African and Afro-diasporic thought and practice took shape, producing postcolonial libraries, and archives that carried with them emergent aesthetic and epistemic registers—unfinished, insurgent, and alive with possibility.

Marking the inaugural symposium of the Re:assemblages programme, this two-day . . . → En lire plus

Independent Algeria (Zurich/online, 5-6 Mar 26)

‘Algérie Indépendante : Art, architecture et idéologie dans la postcolonie

Ce colloque entend interroger de manière critique les croisements entre esthétique visuelle et idéologie politique en Algérie depuis son indépendance en 1962. Après 132 ans de colonialisme, ponctués par une guerre de libération de huit ans, l’indépendance politique de l’Algérie a été suivie d’un désir d’émancipation culturelle. En interrogeant la manière dont les arts visuels, l’architecture, l’espace urbain et d’autres formes visuelles traduisent, reflètent ou questionnent la révolution algérienne, ce workshop explore les articulations entre la visualité et l’idéologie dans le contexte postcolonial.

Comment les recherches récentes peuvent-elles interroger les formes artistiques, . . . → En lire plus

Design Collection Displays Reassessed (Oslo, 28 Oct-1 Nov 25)

The Design Collection Displays Reassessed symposium will discuss collection displays as sites of knowledge exchange and active engagement. From a traditionally linear, encyclopedic display, to today’s more narrative approaches, in the last decades, historical and contemporary displays of decorative arts and design have changed dramatically, in response to a variety of forces, including reassessments of institutional priorities, foregrounding of audiences, and the inclusion of different voices. The symposium will interrogate how design objects and interiors are displayed, discussed and interpreted, and for whom. What does curating these kinds of collection displays represent and mean today? And how might this practice look in . . . → En lire plus

Early Modern Christian Materiality (Wrocław, 19-21 May 26)

15th Annual REFORC Conference on Early Modern Christianity: « Early Modern Christian Materiality », Wrocław, May 19-21, 2026.

At the time of the Reformation, new ways of perceiving bodiliness and materiality began to reshape Western thought, particularly in relation to the understanding of the Incarnation and the Eucharist. In a sharp critique of medieval Aristotelianism, especially the doctrine of transubstantiation grounded in Aristotelian hylomorphic theory, the Reformers developed new understandings of Christ’s presence, the Holy Spirit, human being, and the material world. While these reinterpretations varied among the different reformers, they commonly marked a departure from medieval theological frameworks and opened the door to (re)configurations in how materiality was understood, experienced, and practiced. The reconfigured understanding of the sacraments had a substantial influence on liturgy and, consequently, also . . . → En lire plus

Appel : Le Musée et le Sacré. Les Cahiers de l’École du Louvre n° 25

Le Musée et le Sacré

Les Cahiers de l’École du Louvre n° 25

Appel à contributions

La question du sacré au musée relève de préoccupations très actuelles, mais elle s’ancre dans l’histoire même du musée comme institution – le Museum est sanctuaire des muses. Dès le XVIIIe siècle, plusieurs musées européens sont logés dans un bâtiment en forme de temple. Aujourd’hui, plusieurs courants tendent au contraire à repenser cette association, et préfèrent qualifier le musée de forum, de lieu de dialogue. Il s’agira tout d’abord de réfléchir à la manière dont l’histoire de l’architecture muséale reflète cette tension entre des modèles opposés. . . . → En lire plus
