Appel à communication : « Pluralité des arts, singularité des oeuvres. Théoriciens et artistes »

Posté par Matthieu Lett, le 29 septembre 2013;

Date limite : 31 décembre 2014
Date et lieu du colloque : 28-30 mai 2014, Louvain-la-Neuve, Institut supérieur de philosophie

Ce colloque entend rassembler des artistes, des philosophes, des historiens et autres théoriciens autour d’une pluralité d’arts et de pratiques dans leur spécificité ou leur singularité, sans exclusive a priori.

Puisqu’il faut bien reconnaître que les « Beaux-Arts » traditionnels ne sont plus guère évoqués que dans les dénominations de certaines institutions, on se propose d’aborder la question de l’hétérogénéité –passée et présente– et de la diversité des œuvres, des arts, des techniques, afin d’envisager le devenir contemporain de l’ancien « système des Beaux-Arts » ainsi que le devenir problématique de la notion même d’art dans les discours et les pratiques actuelles. On prend donc ici le parti de mettre entre . . . → En lire plus

Dolls and Puppets as Artistic and Cultural Phenomenon

The presence of dolls and puppets has been a constant feature of life throughout the history of humankind. The use and perception of dolls and puppets reflects people’s attitudes towards the world and other people as well as spiritual concerns. In academic discussions this phenomenon is usually treated in relative isolation. Theatre historians have their own vision of the history of dolls and puppets, as do art historians, ethnologists, film connoisseurs and historians of literature. These various views do not, unfortunately, often enter into direct dialogue. The main aim . . . → En lire plus

Date limite : 25 septembre 2013

On connaît la sprezzatura prônée par Castiglione et qui consistait à cacher l’artifice pour donner au courtisan l’allure d’une aisance naturelle, principe qu’appliquèrent aussi les artistes maniéristes cherchant à produire sans effort apparent « l’art sans art » propre au génie. N’était-on pas déjà confronté au même paradoxe, lorsque, pour viser l’efficacité du discours, Aristote recommandait « de parler de façon non pas fabriquée mais naturelle » (Rhétorique 1404b18) ? De la même manière, des générations de peintres se sont appliqués à effacer les traces de leur main à la surface de la toile pour favoriser l’effet de transparence propice à l’illusion mimétique. . . . → En lire plus

EKPHRASIS. Images, Cinema, Theatre, Media Vol. 2 (10)/2013 Recycling Images: Adaptation, Manipulation, Quotation in the Digital Age

Having long played an essential role in the development of art, media and culture, recycling has emerged also as a field of theoretical explorations. The idea of recycling is understood here in a wider sense, as a production means and critical thinking tool, as an instrument for approaching and reclaiming—equally with deference and irreverence—the established cultural models.

Adaptation, remix, manipulation, remediation, quotation, serialism, appropriationism, simulations, mash-up, cut-and-paste, or simply copy-paste are different manifestations of the same idea of recycling and are all part of what was called the “Re- culture”. Such diversity proves that recycling—as a concept and as a means—is not linked . . . → En lire plus

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.

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

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

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.

Bourses de recherches au Getty Research Institute, 2014/2015. Theme : “Object – Value – Canon”

Posté par Olivier Bonfait, le 31 août 2013;

Date limite : 1er novembre 2013, 1er novembre 2013

The Getty Research Institute and the Getty Villa invite proposals for the 2014–2015 academic year, “Object – Value – Canon,” residential grants and fellowships . The theme aims to explore methods of art-historical interpretation, shifting from the traditional processes and terminology to a variety of new strategies.

Object, value, and canon have different significances in other historical and social contexts. A more diverse integration of understudied visual and archaeological objects necessitates areassessment of the traditional approach in order to enrich the understanding of the world’s artistic heritage. Art-historical interpretation has traditionally proceeded from the description of an object; to discussions about its artistic, cultural, or commercial value; and then . . . → En lire plus

Session: Making Do – Materiality in the Conceptual Age

The emergence of conceptual art in the United States and post-war Europe marked the most radical change of paradigm since Marcel Duchamp’s ready-made. Advocating the ‘dematerialization’ of the art object and a redefinition of art as a (self-) questioning language, conceptualism challenged received ideas about the production and circulation of artworks. Over recent years, a large body of research has examined the development of conceptual practices in so-called ‘peripheral’ regions, such as Eastern Europe and Latin America, and the ways in which . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Inside. Outside. Other. The body in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault » (Münster, 28-30 novembre 2013)

Posté par Pascale Dubus, le 13 juillet 2013;

Date et lieu du colloque : 28-30 november 2013, Münster, Academy of Fine Arts
Date limite : 15 septembre 2013

Both Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault were intensely engaged with aspects of the body. In particular, their critical drafts of aesthetics as much as their political thinking are based on conceptions of the body and corporeality. Deleuze’s body is flexible, fleshy and abstract at the same time. Following Spinoza, in asking what the body can do, he unfolds his theory of becoming, becoming animal, becoming other. The potentiality of the body is revealed here as being in a state of nomadism and constant transformation. Together with Guattari he develops the concept of the “Body without Organs”, as an event through which . . . → En lire plus

Appel à contribution : « Journal of Surrealism and the Americas »

Posté par Marine Schütz, le 4 juillet 2013;

Date limite : 1er octobre 2013

Journal of Surrealism and the Americas

The editors announce a call for papers for an issue on Latin America.

This issue explores what has often been described as Surrealism’s « tense relationship » with Latin America. To what extent did Latin American literature and art embrace Surrealism’s « other dimension of reality »? Rather than viewing Latin American Surrealism as an extension or rejection of a European progenitor, we seek essays that shed new light on surrealist thinking by Latin American artists and writers. How did Surrealism’s modernist stylistics present a more poetic, abstract alternative to Social Realism—one that appealed to a significant cosmopolitan constituency in Latin America? . . . → En lire plus

Imiter, copier, reproduire ont longtemps été considérés comme des opérations consubstantielles à l’apprentissage et à la production artistiques, jusqu’à la création contemporaine qui reconstruit sans cesse ses rapports à la technique et à la tradition. De l’exercice au jeu, et du jeu au détournement, il n’y a qu’un pas. La copie, si elle est exercée dans un but comique ou satirique peut aussi conduire au pastiche ou à la parodie. Les contrefaçons et forgeries cherchent, quant à elles, à passer pour originales et falsifient souvent style et signature.
