Symposium Van Gogh’s Studio Practice in Context - 24-26 June 2013

Location: Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam 
Date: 24-26 June 2013
English spoken

From May 2013 to January 2014 the Van Gogh Museum, in close collaboration with the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and Shell Nederland, will present the results of an innovative and interdisciplinary research on Van Gogh’s working methods in the context of his time to a larger public.

An ambitious exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum, accompanying publications and an international symposium, will shed more light on Van Gogh’s use of an impressive range of materials and techniques in order to understand to what extent his studio practice was influenced by other artists and the conditions in which he lived and worked.

Participation
Scholars (curators, researchers, conservators, conservation scientists, physicists and chemists) working in the wider field of 19th-century studies are warmly invited to attend the symposium. The organization invites broad participation. Therefore, we would be most grateful if you could forward this announcement to possible interested parties. 

Registration 
Registration for the symposium is possible until 15 June 2013. The registration fee includes admission to both museums (Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum), lunch and refreshments, as well as an evening reception and visits to the exhibition, Van Gogh at work.

CFP: Towards a Loser's Art History: Artistic Failure in the Long Nineteenth Century

CFP: Towards a Loser’s Art History: Artistic Failure in the Long Nineteenth Century

College Art Association, 102nd Annual Conference, Chicago, Illinois, February 12-15, 2014

Deadline: May 6, 2013

The narrative of art history has always been construed as a sequence of successes. This is especially true for the history of nineteenth-century art. The century conceived of itself as a glorious time of breakthroughs and achievements, and the various stories of its art production quickly integrated this logic by making success the cornerstone of their constructions, no matter how divergent their agendas. Progressists histories of nineteenth-century art have thought of success in teleological terms of innovation and change, whilst revisionist accounts have justified their focus on academic or Salon art by referring to its popular, commercial or official success.

This session aims to reverse the rigid logic of success, and proposes that a study of artistic failure in the long nineteenth century can contribute in an equally significant way to our understanding of the epoch and its art. The panel invites papers addressing issues of failure, deficiency, and ill-luck. It especially discourages all proposals relating to Great Artists, Salon Heroes or Unrecognised Innovators, unless their stories can be told as stories of failure and lack of achievement.

Please send proposals (max. two double-spaced pages) for a paper for this session to Jan Dirk Baetens (J.Baetens@let.ru.nl), together with a completed session participation proposal form, a CV, and a letter (or email) expressing your interest. For more information, see http://www.collegeart.org/pdf/2014CallforParticipation.pdf or contact the session convenor.
