Art and the Environment in Britain 1700-today

Whether one thinks of environment as context, setting, climate change, green spaces or sounds, today’s epistemology invites us to rethink man’s relation to the external world to the extent that the “inside” and “outside” coalesce, nature and culture merge, man and animal are reconfigured. How have British artists responded to these shifting perceptions of the world around them, of this great swirling circle of life and non life in which they found – or imagined – themselves diversely positioned, for a long time at the centre, then in a more undefined place – at the margin even? How has art itself positioned itself in this newly defined environment?

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?

Irish self-portraits: the artist in curved mirrors

Si l’Irlande peut se targuer de posséder une collection nationale d’autoportraits, l’art de l’autoportrait en littérature et dans les arts visuels reste encore largement inexploré. Certes, la pratique de l’autoportrait marque une tentative de plonger au fond de soi-même mais la représentation qui en découle n’est ni simple ni directe. Les artistes mettent en scène leur propre identité et leur propre personnage, se jouant de la célébrité et de leur rayonnement d’artiste, montrant de l’irrespect ou du mépris pour toute forme de canon ou d’usage. Le miroir dans lequel l’artiste se contemple est ainsi souvent un miroir courbe. L’objet de cette conférence, organisée par le Centre Interlangues TIL de l’université de Bourgogne, est d’analyser les diverses stratégies à l’œuvre dans l’art de l’autoportrait.

Sir Joshua Reynolds: What's New ?

Ce colloque est le premier événement scientifique organisé en Suisse autour de la carrière, de l’oeuvre et de l’univers de Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792). Il est aussi l’un des premiers, depuis la dernière grande exposition rétrospective consacré au premier Président de la RoyalAcademy, à Londres et à Paris (1986), à faire le point des recherches et des travaux les plus récents sur le peintre et son temps. Dans le cadre d’un lieu de rencontres et d’échanges entreles chercheurs et le grand public, il s’agira de permettre aux spécialistes confirmés ainsi qu’aux jeunes chercheurs de se rencontrer, de comparer leurs analyses et de croiser leurs réflexions autour d’un peintre autour duquel de nombreuses questions restent en suspens ou discutées.
