Colloque : Le paysage urbain parisien et son mobilier au XIXe siècle

Le paysage urbain parisien et son mobilier au XIXe siècle

Paris, Centre allemand d’histoire de l’art, Mar 19–20, 2025

Les réverbères, les vespasiennes, les kiosques à journaux, les colonnes Morris et les bancs Davioud semblent à première vue être des objets peu fascinants, car on ne les remarque qu’en passant. Et pourtant, à l’époque de sa création au XIXe siècle, le mobilier urbain parisien représentait bien plus qu’une simple série de commodités de la vie moderne, alliant fonctionnalité et discrétion. C’était une réponse aux profonds changements de la société, face à la nécessité de créer un nouvel espace public et de repenser les modes de participation, de communication et de consommation urbaine. En même temps, le mobilier urbain . . . → En lire plus

Hirsute, Downy, Hairless. Meanings and Forms of Body Hair in Early Modern Visual Culture. International Workshop. 24-25 October 2025. Nederlands Interuniversitair Kunsthistorisch Instituut (NIKI), Florence, Italy.

While long overlooked in art historical studies, over the past two decades body hair has emerged as a significant field of research, offering new perspectives on Early Modern visual culture. The presence or absence of body hair serves as an indicator of aesthetic (or artistic) preferences and prevailing social norms specific to certain periods and locations, revealing complex intersections between art and real life.

In profane art, the representation of male body hair tends . . . → En lire plus

First Edition of the new Annual Seminar on European Sculpture and Decorative Arts.

Issues of design history, collaborations between creators and producers, artists and artisans, as well as the relations with any other people involved are sought.

Sacred Ceramics – Devotional Images in European Porcelain (London, 30 Sep 25)

CFP for the conference « Sacred Ceramics – Devotional Images in European Porcelain » at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, September 30, 2025.

The extensive sculptural output of Europe’s first kaolinic porcelain factory, the Saxon Meissen manufactory, has long attracted the attention of art historians. The large-scale animal sculptures executed so early in the factory’s history for the Japanese Palace, impress both for their technical ambition, and as evidence of the genius of Johann Joachim Kändler in capturing the liveliness of his animal subjects. But there is a significant area of Meissen’s sculptural output that has not to date received sustained attention: the sculptures on . . . → En lire plus

Appel à articles : Venezia Arti 2025, vol. 34, thématique « Soglia / Threshold » et section Alia Itinera

Argumentaire

In medieval art, the theme of the threshold, as the passage from one dimension to another, is crucial from a symbolic point of view and involves both spatiality and temporality (T. Bawden, Die Schwelle im Mittelalter, 2014). The definition that Christ gives of himself in the Gospel had great resonance in the realm of the sacred: “I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved” (Jn 10:9). Hence the . . . → En lire plus

Turning Points in the Nineteenth Century (Birmingham, 17-20 Jul 25)

University of Birmingham, UK, Jul 17–20, 2025 Deadline: Mar 1, 2025

 

Cultural Circulations, Global Mobilities, and Knowledge Translations.

The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented acceleration and densification of human movements that generated, perhaps for the first time, cultural circulations on a global scale. With the world more interconnected than it had ever been, the need to classify, translate and hierarchise knowledge became more pressing than ever.

For its 2025 world congress to be held at the University of Birmingham from 17 to 20 July 2025, the Society for Global Nineteenth-Century Studies places mobility centre-stage, exploring the means through which it was implemented: through travel, exploration and conquest, which in turn led to processes of translation, acculturation and superimposition . . . → En lire plus

Luxury in Fabrics and Fashion.

The Design History Foundation and Catalonia’s textile museums announce their 5th Colloquium of Textile and Fashion Researchers, to be held at the Barcelona Design Museum on 6 and 7 November 2025.

This year’s theme is textiles and fashion as powerful instruments of social stratification and distinction. On the one hand, luxury has positioned itself at the service of the ruling classes by consolidating established, imposed hierarchies, although, on the other hand, it has also helped to blur and rewrite them. This is why the concept of luxury has been one of the best-guarded bastions by the privileged sectors, . . . → En lire plus
