Appel à contribution : « Vision and Depiction », Delft, Delft University of Technology, 4-6 février 2026, date limite le 15 novembre 2025

We invite artists, designers, scholars, and scientists interested in the formal aspects of vision and depiction. This focus originates from a reappraisal of formal analysis — particularly those formal elements that bridge science and art, such as texture, colour, light, shape, space, material, motion, and more.
 We are also interested in whether these formal elements apply to the representation (motif) or the artwork’s surface (medium) — and how they may interact. Lastly, we welcome contributions...

Parution : Saskia C. Quené (ed.), “Between Figure and Ground : Seeing in Premodernity”, Berlin, Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2025

The terms “figure” and “ground” became fundamental to art-historical analysis and writing over the course of the twentieth century. But is this dichotomy suited to describe premodern art and artifacts? In Between Figure and Ground: Seeing in Premodernity, essays by Claudia Blümle, Gottfried Boehm, Péter Bokody, Beate Fricke, Bruno Haas, David Young Kim, Aden Kumler, Christopher Lakey, Karin Leonhard, Jürgen Müller, Veronica Peselmann, Christoph Poetsch, Raphael Rosenberg, Tom Steinert, Nicola Suthor, Noa Turel, and Saskia C....

Appel à contribution : « Le portrait : théories, formes, enjeux », Montréal, Université du Québec, 16 mai 2025, date limite le 14 février 2025

Le portrait est avant tout « l’histoire d’une rencontre[1] », d’un face-à-face créateur de sens et d’émotions. C’est de cette idée qu’est née l’organisation d’un colloque autour de cette thématique singulière qu’est le portrait. L’objectif étant de réfléchir collectivement à sa définition et aux questions soulevées par son corpus aux origines séculaires dans une perspective transhistorique, transdisciplinaire et transmédiale, il s’agira en outre d’analyser les nombreuses théories et formes de la pratique portraitiste et d’en...

Conférence : Marzia Faietti, Piera Giovanna Tordella, « Pentimenti, ripassi, ritocchi: esempi per una casistica », Rome, Bibliotheca Hertziana, 6 février 2025

DATE: Feb 6, 2025 TIME: 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM (Local Time Germany) SPEAKER: Marzia Faietti e Piera Giovanna Tordella LOCATION: Villino Stroganoff, Via Gregoriana 22, 00187 Roma CONTACT: lea.greenberg@biblhertz.it Pentimenti, ripassi, ritocchi caratterizzano tre versanti teoricamente e concettualmente diversificati dell’atto grafico autografo. Inteso come approdo di una operazione innanzitutto intellettuale, l’atto grafico manifesta compiutamente il processo creativo nella sua autonomia estetica e con il più alto grado di veridicità. Tuttavia, anche i ripassi e...

Appel à contribution : « Fruitful Failure. Historical Perspectives, Technological Innovations, Resilience, and Ethical Implications », Berne, Université de Berne, 5-6 juin 2025, date limite le 31 janvier 2025

The International Conference on Fruitful Failure seeks to explore the constructive potential of failure within the realms of literature, art history, archaeology and the digital humanities. Rather than viewing failure solely as a negative outcome, this conference will investigate how failure has often been a catalyst for innovation, resilience, and ethical transformation. By examining the historical, technological, and ethical dimensions of failure, this interdisciplinary forum aims to redefine failure across several academic fields. The conference...

Journées d’étude : « Levels of Unreality, Metaverses and the World of Images », Lucques, IMT School for Advanced Studies, 4-6 décembre 2024

The Iconography 2024 conference, to be held at the IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca, Italy will focus on the ‘meta-iconographic’ value of images and how they create alternative worlds, different levels of unreality and metaverses, and how they bridge the real and virtual dimensions. It aims to explore the multiple dynamics of interaction between images and contexts (physical or ‘metaphysical’). This implies an investigation of the following: the set of tools and devices...

Appel à contribution : « Fragility and Recalcitrance », Sculpture Journal, date limite le 1er décembre 2024

In light of so much global destruction, our increasing awareness of the finiteness of resources, and the continuing legacy of colonialism, Sculpture Journal invites authors to explore how these issues have impacted artistic and cultural production through the lens of materiality specifically. Centring on the theme of reuse and its attendant terms — recycling and appropriation, looting and spolia — we invite reflection on the fragility, but also the recalcitrance, of artworks and their materials....

Conférence : « Form, Style, Principles: Art Historical and Theoretical Reflections – A Conference of the Wölfflin Edition », Zurich, University of Zurich, 18-20 novembre 2024

Recent discussions in aesthetics and art history, literature, and visual studies have seen a renewed interest in questions of form and formalism. Whether in connection with algorithmic thinking, computer vision, and artificial intelligence, or with transcultural comparisons, revised narratives of modernism, re-conceptualisations of formlessness, and cognitive reflections on connoisseurship, form and formalism have regained currency in current discourses on a transhistorical and transdisciplinary level. It has become clear that an “archaeology of knowledge” about these...

Séminaire doctoral du LASLAR (Université de Caen). Jeudi 21 novembre 2024, mercredi 26 février 2025 et jeudi 24 avril 2025 Comité scientifique et organisation : Camille Cellier et Mathilde Havret Le médiocre, l’imparfait, le faible, le défectueux, ou encore le commun, l’insuffisant, l’insignifiant, le minable… Pourquoi choisir de porter notre attention de jeunes chercheurs sur le rebut, alors même que le doctorat pousse naturellement à l’admiration, au respect d’œuvres patrimoniales, de « monuments » riches, validés par...
