Face to Face. The transcendence of the arts in China and beyond

Our goals for the conference are to raise awareness of the artistic exchange and mutual influences between the Han Chinese arts and the arts from different cultural backgrounds in China itself, as well as beyond its geographical and cultural boundaries. We also aim to go through the issues on the construction of artistic identity and the balance between permeability and hegemony, tradition and innovation, convenience and misinterpretation.

Southeast Asian Cities’ Expressions of Modernity in Their Relation to Local Heritages

EuroSEAS Conference, Group 6: Popular culture, museums and heritage

The panel will explore spatial configurations created in these contexts, questioning the forms of modernity expressed by architectural and urban projects. With the purpose of challenging a general assumption according to which Asian and especially Southeast Asian urban landscapes affected by recent developments tend toward irremediable standardization and “Westernization”, the panel will explore local expressions of modernity through the examination of projects pointing to a reinterpretation of forms of local heritages.

The Architecture of Southeast Asian Cities

How do Architectural and Urban Expressions of Modernity relate to Heritage ?

The conference is organised by the Contemporary Asian Architecture and Cities: Heritage and Projects research group, based in Paris. The conference will take place June 12-14 2013 at the National Superior Architecture School of Paris-Belleville (ENSAPB). The conference will deal with recent physical transformations and developments of Southeast Asian cities. Contemporary debates in urban studies often centre around the idea of a uniform kind of globalizing urbanization which is spreading worldwide. The conference will examine this idea as a hypothesis in light of the history of each city, the persistence of ancient urban morphologies, and heritage policies promoted by various Southeast Asian nations.

Staging the land

Contemporary site-specific creation and the issue of perception

Ce colloque propose d’explorer le domaine particulier de la création artistique contemporaine in situ – Land Art, art environnemental, art public, performance – sous l’angle de l’analyse de la perception sensorielle, intellectuelle et esthétique, de l’étude de formes contextualisées / conceptualisées et de leurs modes de représentation. Nous analyserons les types de rapports que ces œuvres sur site entretiennent avec l’observateur, loin des lieux traditionnellement dédiés à l'art. Cette manifestation scientifique accompagne l’installation pérenne de la sculpture Avignon Locators de l’artiste américaine Nancy Holt dans les jardins du campus centre-ville de l’Université d’Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse. Cette œuvre in situ, adaptée au site, est une réactivation de Missoula Ranch Locators – Vision Encompassed (Montana, 1972), installation majeure de Nancy Holt démantelée au début des années 2000. L’inauguration de l’œuvre, en présence de l’artiste, se déroulera lors du colloque et célèbrera les quarante ans de la création de Missoula Ranch Locators.
