Dear Collegues,
I am glad to inform you that the next annual ICFA Conference will be
held in Malta from the 4th to the 8th of October 2011. The conference
is arranged in collaboration with Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti and ICOM
Malta.
The Mediterranean has always been, a significant location for the
interaction of cultures and people of the lands surrounding the
Mediterranean Sea. Located between Europe, Africa and Asia, the
Mediterranean has provided significant trade routes throughout history
which continue today. From pre-historic times these trade routes have
enabled artists and craftspeople to trade and culturally exchange
ideas, political and religious thought, and inspire artistic influences
hailing from the different continents which border the Mediterranean.
The conference The Mediterranean as a Hub for Artistic Ideas seeks to
explore the artistic ideas which converged within, and spread from, the
Mediterranean. Papers may focus on artists who visited, worked in or
drew inspiration from the Mediterranean and who took back elements
drawn from the Mediterranean to their home countries. Other themes
could include art collecting within the Mediterranean context and art
collections whose theme was the Mediterranean, the Grand Tour, and its
influence on artistic commissions, the art trade and transportation of
artworks to mainland Europe, religious and pilgrim routes and the
influence of the Orient on lands bordering the Mediterranean. Papers
discussing modern and contemporary art in and around the Mediterranean
are also encouraged.
Please email abstracts of proposed papers consisting of no more than
250 words and a short CV to Lisa Attard from the Fondazzjoni Patrimonju
Malti ([log in to unmask]) by 15th April 2011.
Notification of selected papers will be made by the end of May 2011.
Speakers will be expected to prepare a Power Point presentation with
several high quality images, to accompany their spoken presentation
which should not exceed 20 minutes (approximately 3000 words).
