Art History and Bildwissenschaft: interfaces, interactions, antinomies
Art History and Bildwissenschaft: interfaces,
interactions, antinomies
28-29 March 2013
The Center for The History of Images and Visual Culture, Masaryk
University and Moravian Gallery Brno
Keynote speaker: Professor Horst Bredekamp (Humboldt
University)
The aim of the conference is to reflect on practices and agenda of
Bildwissenschaft in relation to the discipline of art history and
on various issues and problems arising at the intersection of these
two fields of enquiry. It will explore various modes and points of
interface, interaction and antinomy (actual, as well as potential)
between art history and Bildwissenschaft, both in
university/academic environment and in the realm of museum and
exhibition practice. While historiographic issues and specific case
studies are not to be excluded, the focus of the meeting should be
on conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues and their
implications for research, teaching and museum/exhibition projects
and presentation strategies.
