Save the date: 25 January 2020, Restoring the Past: Destruction, Restoration and Preservation of Medieval Art and Architecture

Restoring the Past: Destruction, Restoration and Preservation of Medieval Art and Architecture

SVA Theatre, 333 W 23rd Street, New York, NY

Saturday 25 January 2020

The intense reactions surrounding the restoration of the cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris, and its treasures were triggered by the fact that restoration of medieval art and architecture continues to be clouded by controversy and changeable trends. It was only in the late 19th century that an attempt to systematise restoration and to recognise it as a distinct field of study was first made. In the one hundred years since those early studies, ethical standards and popular trends have changed dramatically - often to the confusion of the collector, the museum curator and the scholar. Springing off from the plethora of issues currently surrounding the efforts to restore Notre Dame and to reinstate its artworks, this conference will focus on the past, the present and the future of restoration in an attempt to uncloud some of the confusion and to examine the enduring life of medieval art from its creation in the Middle Ages to today. Organised together with Luhring Augustine, we hope to make this conference relevant to the types of issues that museums, collectors and scholars face when studying the condition of objects, their long and often turbulent histories, and their future. 

Speakers include Timothy Husband, Madeline Caviness, Lloyd de Beer, Lucretia Kargere, Alexandra Gajewski, Paul Ruddock, Michele Marincola, Emily Pegues and Rosamund Garrett.

Various locations

FULL PROGRAM HERE: https://www.aibl.fr/IMG/pdf/centenaire-centenary_2019_programmepdf-2.pdf


The Union Académique Internationale in 2019: Reflections on its Centenary and future directions
The week-long celebration of the centenary of the UAI, in Paris November 22-30 2019, encompasses the activities of a representative range of the research projects associated with it, and also – especially on this day of plenary talks – takes note of its very significant role in promoting international understanding after World War I. A further aim is to hear from scholars from a representative range of its global membership what they are thinking about the present status and future role of the humanities and social sciences. Several of the speakers have no direct tie to UAI projects or to its board, but nonetheless wish to honor its goals and achievements, and offer suggestions for the future.

The UAI and its missions
Founded in 1919, the Union Académique Internationale is an organization of more than a hundred national academies from more than 60 countries and several international academies. The UAI works to promote the advancement of knowledge, development of scientific exchanges and initiatives of its academies. The increasing number of projects, by its willingness to accommodate more members of academies, the International Academic Union and aims to represent the principle of excellence which animates it. The Union Académique Internationale’s mission:
• encouraging cooperation between national Academies (and comparable institutions) whose activities are mainly or partly concerned with the field of human and social sciences. This cooperation is achieved by leading projects of high scholarly and intellectual standard and by coordinating interdisciplinary and joint activities, conceived in full partnership, over the long and medium-term. These should result in the production of fundamental reference tools that enhance the knowledge and advance fundamental research, for the benefit of both the people involved in the research (scholars, experts, researchers…) and the general public;
• safeguarding and promoting of the human and social sciences, at the level of both national and international academies;
• developing solid support for every national academy and its members, provided people are convinced of the rightfulness and the advantages of this solidarity and international cooperation.

Call For Proposals, due 17 Nov 2019: Gateways to Medieval Naples; Field Seminar, 8-10 June 2020, Naples, Italy

Call For Proposals: Gateways to Medieval Naples

Field Seminar, 8-10 June 2020, Naples, Italy

In recent years, the art and architecture of medieval Naples has been the subject of renewed scholarly activity that is generating important research on understudied monuments and exploring fresh approaches to the history of the city’s material culture. A next generation of scholars is reassessing Neapolitan studies and advancing research with greater interdisciplinary breadth and expanded geographic scope. Given the vitality of ongoing scholarship, it is an ideal moment to address the city’s monuments as gateways to understanding medieval Naples as a monumental whole, comprising diverse artistic and cultural practices, shifting topographies, and complex urban networks.

To this end, the Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte (Rome), the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II - Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici (Naples), and the Centro per la Storia dell'Arte e dell'Architettura delle Città Portuali (Naples) are co-organizing a field seminar called Gateways to Medieval Naples, to be held in Naples June 8-10, 2020. Grounded in collaborative on-site study of works of art and animated by collegial exchange of ideas, the seminar will convene a small group of scholars to share and further develop the latest research on Naples and to chart new methodological approaches to this complex nexus of the medieval world.

Each morning, participants will present their research on site at a series of monuments and collections in the city. Each afternoon, the Centro per la Storia dell'Arte e dell'Architettura delle Città Portuali will host roundtable discussions with presentations that address new avenues for research, questions of methodological practice, and topics of a broader nature not related to a single site.

The organizing committee invites established and emerging scholars to submit proposals for on-site or roundtable presentations on topics from late antiquity through the fifteenth century. As the title Gateways to Medieval Naples suggests, the seminar will both foreground the city’s material heritage and invite passage across times and places. Potential themes include (but are not limited to) continuity, rupture, and exchange between the medieval city and its ancient past; the city’s unique land- and sea-scape as a port through and within which artists, artworks, materials, and ideas circulated; ritual practices that framed monuments as sites of passage within greater webs of performances; the transformation of urban topography from late antiquity through the fifteenth century; patterns of urban patronage; the use of digital technologies to examine and understand the medieval city; and the interplay between the subjects and methodologies of historical research, with monuments providing multiple points of access to Naples’s material past.

We welcome proposals from art and architectural historians as well as from scholars in adjacent fields including archaeology, history, literary studies, anthropology, and musicology. The final program will be arranged topographically, thematically, and chronologically around the selected proposals. The plan (with grant funds pending) is for participants to receive a modest travel stipend (approximately 300 Euros for those traveling to Naples from within Europe and 800 US Dollars for those traveling from outside Europe). Lunches, opening and closing receptions, admissions fees, and local transportation costs will be covered by the seminar.

Proposals should include a curriculum vitae, a brief narrative biography (max. 150 words), and an abstract (max. 350 words), and may be in either Italian or English. The abstract should indicate the topic’s relevance to the themes outlined in the CFP above and whether the proposed contribution would take the form of an on-site presentation or a presentation in the afternoon roundtables held at the Centro. Final presentations may be made in Italian or English. Please combine these materials in a single Word or PDF document with Lastname_Firstname as the title, and send to lacapraia@gmail.com by 17 November 2019. Selected participants will be notified in early January.

Medieval Europe in Motion V - Materialities and Devotion (5th-15th centuries) ; Batalha, Portugal; Santa Maria da Vitória Monastery

Medieval Europe in Motion V - Materialities and Devotion (5th-15th centuries)

7-9 novembro, 2019

The last decades have witnessed the development of studies on material culture, favouring an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. This has enabled a more cohesive reading of the way in which the medieval Man related to his material environment, manipulating, adapting and transforming it, of the uses given to the objects he produced, the meanings attributed, how he interacted with them in cognitive and affective terms.

Summoning this dimension in the relationship with religion, devotional practices, sensibilities and representations, carries a new set of questions and necessarily calls for different knowledge in order to deepen understanding and the interpretation of the relationship between medieval religiosity and their material translations. From the images carved and painted to the buildings edified, from liturgical objects to reliquaries and tombs, from books to personal objects of piety, from temples to the inscription of the various forms of religious life, there are many domains where the relation between materiality and devotion can be a prospect and a problem. It intersects the material, functional, performative and aesthetic dimensions with the different readings it calls for, the cognitive and emotional apprehensions, the representations (erudite and popular) it associates with, the practices that it sustains, the memories that polarize and legitimize, the powers that were affirmed through it. It discloses the diversity of variants such as wealth and social position, more or less literate training, and gender differences.

The Conference thus aims to be a broad space for debate, both in the plurality of knowledge and in the diversity of sources, historical, geographical and religious contexts (Christian, Jewish, Islamic and other), and in analytical perspectives.

CFP Art and Absence, Northwestern Department of Art History Myers Graduate Symposium

CFP: Art and Absence
Myers Graduate Symposium 2020
Northwestern University Department of Art History, Evanston, IL
Friday, February 28th
Abstracts Due: October 15th, 2019

What is absence and how is it considered or addressed in relation to visual culture? The modern English term “absence” derives from the Latin ab (“off, away from”) and esse (“to be”), meaning to be away from, or apart from, a state of being. An absence in this sense signals not only the opposite of presence but rather its lack, suggesting a palpable separation from something. Whether as a lacuna, as palpable nonpresence, or as a theoretical concept, artists across time and space have used absence as a stylistic, material, aesthetic, or narrative choice in their work. Furthermore, scholarship on visual culture and the history of art has often relied on the presence of objects, images, archives, and artists. Thus the absence of source material, whether through loss, disregard, or inaccessibility, has ultimately shaped conditions of historicization and has impacted what gets included or excluded in both institutional and cultural memory.
What does it mean to consider absence in relation to material, to context, and to aesthetics? By evoking or addressing absence, what can artists and scholars bring to light in both their work and in the historical record? How is an absence of objects, audiences, or artists understood in relation to interpretation and historiography? In what ways does absence generate affect, and how has unrepresentability, aniconism, and iconophobia functioned in relation to artistic production, use, and interpretation at different historical moments and for different audiences across time and geographical space?


With these questions in mind, the graduate students of the Department of Art History at Northwestern University invite abstracts from all disciplines and subfields for their biennial Myers Symposium, “Art and Absence,” that address the intentionally broad and flexible theme of absence. The aim of this symposium is to facilitate dialogue across geographical, temporal, and material subfields as well as across disciplines to approach the question of how art and visual culture, broadly defined, have represented absence, as well as the way scholars grapple with absence as both a theoretical concept and a historiographic problem.

Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:

Artists who explore the concept of absence
Objects that take absence as a quality of their physical or conceptual make-up
Absence of materials
Absence of images
Absence from the historical record
Absence due to damage, decay, or violence
Destruction of cultural patrimony
Archives or archival materials
Iconoclasm
Absence as hermeneutic
Unrepresentability
Notion of a lack
Aniconism
Absence as an aesthetic choice
Architecture and empty space
Memory and forgetting
Silence as absence
Absence as resistance

This will be a one-day symposium with roughly nine graduate student speakers from North American universities and will culminate with an invited keynote from a distinguished scholar or artist, to be announced. These speakers will be selected based on abstracts submitted to an open call. Symposium speakers who do not reside locally will receive roundtrip economy airfare to Chicago/Evanston and accommodation in Evanston.

Please email proposals and questions to MyersSymposiumNUAH@gmail.com and caitlindimartino2022@u.northwestern.edu by Tuesday, October 15h, 2019. Please include in your proposal a 300-word abstract and a brief C.V. in a single PDF file. Selections will be announced in early November.

CFP Leeds 2020, due 15 Sept 2019: ENCLOSURES: WOMEN’S RELIGIOUS ART AND THE BOUNDARIES OF METHOD

CFP Leeds 2020: ENCLOSURES: WOMEN’S RELIGIOUS ART AND THE BOUNDARIES OF METHOD
Deadline: September 15, 2019

We are seeking abstracts for a Leeds 2020 session on the methodologies of women's religious art. The panel seeks to explore new methodologies for studying the art of women’s religious communities in global and cross-cultural perspective from about 500 to 1525 CE.

In the last few decades years, art historians have put women back on the map of European medieval art history. Harnessing the second-wave feminism, scholars, such as Caroline Walker Bynum and Madeline H. Caviness, paved the way for this radical shift. The generation that followed, most influentially Jeffrey Hamburger, has consolidated the study of the art and architecture of female monasticism, as manifested in the landmark exhibition of Crown and Veil (Essen and Bonn, 2005). In the process, art historians expanded our knowledge of the role of religious women as makers, commissioners, and recipients of art. The corpus of works of art has exponentially enlarged, fully encompassing the range of media engaged in women’s religious life, including objects previously relegated to margins of art history as crafts. To do so, art historians have employed a variety of methodologies, using interdisciplinary approaches.

Now, it is time to refresh the methodological foundations and broaden the scope of inquiry of this field. To this end, we invite speakers working on topics of the art of religious women and communities in any cultural, religious, and geographic context. In particular, we encourage the submission of papers that examines the methodological challenges and/or engage in innovative approaches in the field.

Potential questions may include, but are not limited to:
- New insights into the role women’s religious communities played in the production and commission of art
- Is the art of female monasticism a productive category of inquiry? If so, what can we learn from examining medieval art through this lens and what are its boundaries? If not, what are the other venues for studying the art of religious women?
- What new venues do interdisciplinary collaborations open up for the study of female monastic art?
- Do we need to reassess gender-specific approaches to the art of women’s religious communities in light of recent scholarship on gender?
- What lessons might be learned from examining other cultural and religious traditions? What methods have proven productive in examining non-Christian/non-Western cultural and religious communities?
- Case studies of inter-religious and/or inter-cultural exchange, interchange, influences, and entanglement among women’s religious communities
- Are there media specific to or preferred by female audience? Are there any of these universal?
- New technological/digital approaches to studying the art of women’s religious communities

The session seeks to provide a forum for scholars at different career stages, across different art historical geographies. This session, we hope, will foster a dialogue across regions and religions of women’s religious communities, providing a fertile ground for discussion

We invite interested applicants to submit a 250 word abstract and a short c.v. to Kristina Potuckova (kristina.potuckova@yale.edu) and Orsolya Mednyánszky (omednyanszky@jhu.edu) by September 15, 2019.
