Call for papers--Conference on European Visual Arts 1800-1850: Paintings, Sculpture,
Interiors and art on Paper
First Call for Papers
Conference
Technology & Practice: Studying the European Visual Arts 1800-1850: Paintings, Sculpture, Interiors and art on Paper.
This call for Papers and Posters is for a two-day Technical Art History conference to be held at CATS at the National Museum of Denmark on 15 - 16 June 2016.
The conference will be focusing on artists' techniques and materials, written sources, conservation science, the history of science and technology, history of trade, and innovation of artists' materials during the first half of the 19th century. In the preceding several decades a succession of art academies emerged throughout Europe, and another focal point of the conference will be the impact of these institutions on a new generation of artists, examining how this manifested itself in their Paintings, Sculpture, Interiors and Art on Paper.
Themes for presentations could be:
* Workshop practice and materials: art historical and technical approaches to documentary evidence
* Art historical and technical examination and analysis of art objects
* Art academies as well as open air paintings
* Issues of trading, supply and material innovation in a newly industrialized art world
Please submit title and abstract of up to max 500 words for oral and/or poster presentations. Please send your contribution to the following contact address, for consideration by the scientific committee: cats.conference<-a t->smk< . >dk
The conference language will be English, and the deadline for abstract submission is 1st of February 2016. The oral conference presentations will in spring 2017 be published as an online publication by CATS in collaboration with Archetype Publications Ltd. and also be available as print on demand.
Further details of the conference programme, registration procedure and additional practical information is available on the website http://www.cats-cons.dk/cats-conference-2016/.
