  Rethinking pictures

  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?

  Cinema and music

  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...

  Technological Uncanny

  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 XIX^e 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.

  Censorship: Creative contemporary constraints and dynamics in the representation of the British and American nations

  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?
