Relics @ the Lab

1st International Workshop

Scientists of many different disciplines are involved in the study of relics and kindred artefacts, but till now there was no real forum for these people to exchange ideas and discuss methods. Therefore the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels) is organizing a two-day workshop on the scientific study of relics. During this meeting we want to give analytical scientists, textile specialists, conservators, anthropologists, historical researchers, people involved in 3D reconstruction as well as radiocarbon dating specialists a forum to exchange ideas about relics.

Being an Art Historian today

En tant que science humaine, l’histoire de l’art ne peut rester figée dans un schéma de pensée, se devant de se renouveler en se confrontant aux propres évolutions de son sujet d’étude. Ainsi, alors que les révolutions artistiques de ces dernières décennies ont profondément transformé le champ de la création, il apparaît nécessaire de s’interroger sur la manière dont ces bouleversements ont modifié, ou non, les réflexions et les modes de recherches de l’historien de l’art, ainsi que les applications de son travail. Ce colloque s’articulera autour de trois problématiques principales qui interrogeront le réaménagement des cadres traditionnels dans lesquels l’histoire de l’art est née.
