Atlantic Circulations (Seville, 4-5 Jun 26)

Atlantic Circulations: Architecture and Travels between Americas and Europe since the 18th Century.

The inclusion of the Americas within the horizons and intellectual concerns of travelers interested in architecture and the city since the Age of Enlightenment is essential within a series dedicated to the architect’s journey. The Americas, understood as a plural and heterogeneous continental space encompassing North, Central, and South America, were not only the stage for the extension of European itineraries but also the starting point for journeys to Europe by figures of American architectural culture, as well as a substantial part of the beginnings of Atlantic circulations that, since the 18th century, have intensified between both shores of the Atlantic. A few years before the journeys to Greece by Julien-David Le Roy and James . . . → En lire plus

Revolutions, Art, and the Market (London, 4-5 Jun 26)

Revolutions, Art, and the Market

Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, Jun 4–05, 2026

Art market trends and practices, whether historical or contemporary, are affected by networks of complex and often competing forces. As moments of political, economic, intellectual or technological rupture, revolutions have significantly shaped art market systems and fortunes, refracting and redirecting collecting ambitions, displacing existing markets and creating new ones, and promoting novel modes of commercialisation of art.

Embracing wide chronological and geographical spans, this conference will consider how revolutions have inflected the circulation and consumption of art and facilitated the emergence of new art market practices and collecting paradigms. The conference is deliberately adopting a broad definition of the term Revolution, intending to encompass its political, cultural, intellectual, economic and technological incarnations.

Negotiating the Nude (Munich, 15-16 Sep 26)

Negotiating the Nude: Unclothed Bodies in Art and its Historiographies (1860s–2026).

Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, München, Sep 15–16, 2026 Deadline: Feb 22, 2026

The human body occupies a prominent position in highly controversial social debates. Especially unclothed, its various appearances in art and everyday life, public and private spheres as well as – more recently – digital environments induce and materialize conflicts at the same time. Yet the outrage provoked by Édouard Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass in 1863, and Olympia two years later indicates a different quality than current debates in post-industrial societies, whether allegations of indecency directed at Michelangelo’s David in Florida in 2023 or public responses on Florentine Holzinger’s opera-performance Sancta in Vienna in 2025 were concerned. Although notable instances permeate a Western . . . → En lire plus

Avant-Garde and Migration (Stockholm, 2-4 Sep 26)

Avant-Garde and Migration

10e conférence internationale du Réseau européen de recherche sur l’avant-garde et le modernisme (EAM), Stockholm, 2-4 septembre 2026.

La 10e conférence de l’EAM, qui revêt un caractère festif, sera consacrée au thème « Avant-garde et migration ».

La migration peut être comprise, dans un premier temps, comme un concept socioculturel et géopolitique lié aux acteurs et mouvements migrants d’avant-garde et de néo-avant-garde au cours du XXe siècle, ainsi qu’au paysage culturel et politique contemporain en Europe et dans le monde. Quels mécanismes de migration démographique influencent les agents de l’avant-garde et leurs collectifs? Quel rôle les artistes et intellectuels migrants, exilés ou réfugiés et leur production ont-ils joué dans la politique (culturelle) de diverses communautés nationales et ethniques? De quelle manière la dynamique des techniques . . . → En lire plus

Contemporary Artists’ Estates and Legacies (Maastricht, 19-21 Mar 26)

MACCH Annual Conference – On Leaving: Contemporary Artists’ Estates and Legacies.

We are pleased to announce the call for panels, papers, and artistic research contributions for the 2026 MACCH conference in Maastricht on 19-21 March 2026. This edition of our annual conference focuses on emerging networks of care around contemporary artists’ estates and legacies, and is organized in collaboration with MERIAN (Maastricht Experimental Research in and through the Arts Network).

Many contemporary artists are now leaving behind significant material and immaterial legacies. Increasingly, their estates are approached by private market actors such as gallerists, consultants, lawyers, and financial advisors, also in the context of what has become known as ‘the great wealth’ transfer of significant assets between the baby boomer generation and their heirs.

Photographic Interiors: between Staging and Documentation (Paris, 7 Apr 26)

Photographic Interiors: between Staging and Documentation

From family pictures to police photographs and social surveys, the photographic documentation of private interiors often finds pictures in front of the lens. It turns the images in the interior, along with their often fleeting arrangements, into fixed coordinates. It also reminds us how our lives are surrounded by images. Photography, along with other printed image technologies, is a major component of the ordinary visual environment that papers domestic surfaces, at the same time at it proves to be a particularly adequate means of documenting interiors.

This conference aims to think through this mirror effect of photographed photographs, by considering together images of domestic worlds and everyday image practices anchored in the dwelling. The aim is twofold: to examine the various ways . . . → En lire plus

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

Appel à publications: New horizons in textile art history

New horizons in textile art history: critical perspectives on post-war textile art from Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltics

edited by Magdalena Furmaniuk, Sandra Imko and Monica Seiceanu

In the 1960s, textile art underwent a profound transformation. Movements such as La Nouvelle Tapisserie (also known in Poland as nowa tkanina) and Fiber Art emerged in parallel across Europe and North America, reimagining weaving not merely as a decorative craft but as a site of conceptual and material experimentation. While La Nouvelle Tapisserie often carried a distinctly European character, Fiber Art became a more international, Anglophone designation for similar developments. Both challenged traditional hierarchies in the arts, expanding the field’s formal and critical vocabulary. Artists from Central and Eastern Europe played a crucial role in this . . . → En lire plus
