Edward Hopper, 50 years later: influence and inheritance
Ninety per cent of artists are forgotten ten minutes after they’re dead”: this statement Edward Hopper made in 1965 fortunately proved wrong as far as he is concerned. As the year 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of his death, his legacy is still growing through the increasing number of references to his painting in different art forms. This call for paper is intended for all researchers and is not restricted to scholars working on the United States. We will explore the question of Hopper’s worldwide legacy in fields including art history, philosophy as well as social and intermedial studies. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the artist’s death, this conference will welcome papers that address the notions of influence and inheritance applied to Edward Hopper’s art.

Envisageant le rôle matriciel du périodique à la fois comme laboratoire d’expérimentation et lieu d’archivage d’une pensée en gestation, il donnera lieu à un colloque international en novembre 2017, lui-même précédé de quatre temps forts sous la forme de journées d’études.

Transatlantic slave trafficking and slave systems through the prism of contemporary art
La sixième édition des « Rencontres atlantiques » portera sur les traites transatlantiques et les systèmes esclavagistes interprétés par les artistes contemporains. Elle interrogera ainsi le rôle des artistes (écrivains, plasticiens, dramaturges, cinéastes, chorégraphes...) dans la mémoire des esclavages. Comment aujourd'hui ces pratiques artistiques réinvestissent-elles le passé et sous quelles formes ? Quels en sont les enjeux ? Dans quelles mesures peuvent-elles contribuer à la recherche historique ?

Berlin
Conference, symposium - Representation
The development of art history as a discipline during the 19th century has been variously associated with the politics of national identity, the needs of a growing bourgeois public in search of cultural capital, or of an expanding art market. However, the role of art training, and art practitioners themselves in the shaping of the discipline remains unexamined. Courses in art history had been systematically introduced in the curricula of art and architecture academies since the late 18th century, and spaces of art education count among the first institutional homes of the discipline, well before the establishment of autonomous university chairs. This conference aims to explore the interactions and productive tensions between art practice and art scholarship in the 19th century.

The F4 agency - the rejuvenation of photojournalism in Brazil in the 1980s
Première coopérative photographique créée au Brésil, l’Agence F4 a accompagné les grands mouvements politiques et sociaux qui ont agité le pays dès la fin des années 70. Par son engagement politique et militant, par ses choix esthétiques et thématiques mais aussi grâce à la forte personnalité de ses photographes, l’agence constitue, à bien des égards, un acteur majeur du renouveau du photojournalisme au Brésil dans les années 1980. L’année 2016 marque le 25ème anniversaire de la fermeture de l’Agence F4, l’occasion de revenir sur cette aventure avant tout humaine en donnant la parole aux photographes eux‑mêmes pour mieux cerner leur participation à l’évolution du photojournalisme.

A transatlantic dialogue
On the occasion of the launch of Picturing, the first volume of the Terra Foundation Essays, a new publication series exploring themes of critical importance to the history of arts and visual culture of the United States, the Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte, Paris, and the Terra Foundation for American Art are jointly organizing a conference to further the transatlantic dialogue about what pictures are and what they do. This conference invites speakers to reflect on the differences and convergences between the intellectual traditions of visual studies and Bildwissenschaft. Are there ways to think about pictures anew by bringing these models more closely together? Does the move away from visuality towards the material offer possibilities for overcoming early differences between these two approaches?

Berlin
The conference seeks to examine the shaping of art history as a discipline during the 19th century in relation to artistic training and exchanges between artists and scholars. The development of art history has been associated with an array of socio-political and economic factors such as the formation of a bourgeois public, the politics of national identity and state legitimacy or the needs of an expanding art market. This conference aspires to explore yet another, less studied dimension: the extent to which the historical study of art was also rooted in an intention to inform contemporary artistic production.

Cet événement académique va essayer de questionner le rapport intime existant entre le cinéma et la musique. Cette alchimie qui unit ces deux arts nous semble mériter réflexion. Un film met en scène une histoire, un énoncé, une forme, représentant d’une façon ou d’une autre le monde, avec un souci de fidélité ou de prise de distance. La musique, elle, crée un objet complémentaire, un sens second greffé sur le premier, qui vient l’enrichir peut-être ou l’embellir en le « couvrant » de texture sous forme de notes...

Omniprésence des images, autonomisation de la perception, faillite ou reconstruction de la mémoire, explosion du virtuel : avec le numérique notre monde se repeuple de clones et de fantômes. On sait combien chaque introduction d’une technologique nouvelle produit ses fictions et ses fantasmes (voir depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle les cas du téléphone, du télégraphe, de la radio puis le développement des communications mais il s’agirait ici d’interroger les manières dont les technologies contemporaines, les inventions d’artistes, les concepts critiques reformulent la question de l’étrangeté technologique.

This 2016 workshop on contemporary US-UK photography will take on the notion of censorship. With photography as its starting point, this edition aims to extend the debate to include the contemporary image on the whole. It is interested in the intermedial forays of other artistic forms in the practice of photographers (art installations, video and/or audio productions, performance, urban art practices, text/image interactions). How does the very artistic form/medium become in itself a means of expression and commitment when confronted with censorship, a means to create unity against censorship, a tool for identity expression of a group or of a minority, to circumvent constraints, or thrive upon these limits and generate creative impetus from them?
