musée du quai Branly
Paris, France
[from quai Branly, 3/29/09]
cooordination: Yolaine Escande et Denis Vidal
musée du quai Branly et EHESS [l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales]
Comment se trouve redéfinie aujourd’hui la "figure" de l'artiste "universel" dans un contexte toujours plus marqué par la mondialisation. C'est à cette question cruciale pour un Musée qui se donne comme vocation de s'ouvrir à des formes d'art et de créativité contemporaine en provenance du monde entier que nous tenterons d'apporter des réponses, au cours d'une série de séances à vocation inter-disciplinaire, et qui prendront place dans le cadre du séminaire organisé par Jean-Marie Schaeffer. Chacune des séances prévues sera plus spécifiquement consacrée à l'étude d'un artiste ou d'un groupe d'artistes qui incarnent, chacun à leur façon, un tel idéal. Plusieurs d'entre elles seront organisées en association avec les artistes eux-mêmes.

8-9 June 2009
[from HKU, 4/11/09]
The Department of Fine Arts at the University of Hong Kong will host an international conference on "Rethinking Visual Narratives" from 8-9 June 2009. The conference will bring together approximately fifteen scholars presenting new and original research to discuss how visual narratives function in different cultures and exploring connections and interactions between the arts of Asia and that of Asia and the West. The papers and discussion will consolidate academic understanding of visual narrative theories and augment them through analysis of their potential as a tool for exploring inter-cultural interactions and questioning cross-cultural assumptions. The focus will be on the visual with a cross-cultural dimension and dating to any time period within a broadly defined art historical discipline and material culture studies.
The conference is being generously sponsored by the Asian Cultural Council, the Louis Cha Fund, and the China-West Strategic Research Theme of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong.

[courtesy of R. Bernell, 6/2/09]
Authors Robert Mangurian and Mary-Ann Ray talk about their new book on Caochangdi, one of more than 300 urban villages in the city of Beijing. Published by Timezone 8, the book tells a specific story about itself and its mostly illegal residents (including farmers, floaters, taxi drivers, and world class artists), but it also has embedded within it both the problems and the possibilities of a new urban space redefining the city of Beijing at this pivotal point in human history when cities make up half of the world’s population. The authors, who live and work in Caochangdi, dissect the multiple phenomena that form this dynamic urban condition.
Robert Mangurian and Mary-Ann Ray are principals of Studio Works Architects in Los Angeles, teach at SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) and the University of Michigan, and are co-founders of BASE Studios in the Urban Village of Caochangdi in Beijing.

The conference on Dynamics of Culture and Environment in Asia seeks to examine how cultures and societies have positioned themselves in relation to the environment at various historical junctures. It seeks to understand the complex relationships among culture, nature, and humans and to re-conceptualize and reconstruct the boundaries of the Asia-Pacific in an era of globalization. It seeks to investigate cultural and historical influences on economic change, social movements, public policy, arts, and ecological upheavals among other facets of society.

The Beijing Olympics in 2008 appeared to symbolise China's global coming of age and confirm its place as a world power. After ten years of China's "rise" and in the light of the collapse of the global economic system, China's grossly inflated art market has now taken a blow. The perception of Chinese contemporary art as a dominant category in the global art world is perhaps waning, as its identity was chiefly allied to its economic success. Bearing in mind these recent developments, perhaps it is time to reconsider what constitutes this category and to problematise the picture of 'Chinese' art practices internationally. Revisiting critical cultural debates about diasporic Chinese identities in the field of artistic and cultural practice may bring an alternative view of China into play.
One of the new mantras in the so-called sophisticated international art world is that 99% of Chinese contemporary art is "rubbish." This comes in the light of weak yet high profile shows such as Charles Saatchi's crassly named The Revolution Continues, held in 2008. However, this fails to do justice to contemporary Chinese art practice internationally. Many mainland Chinese artists have recently returned to live in China after many years abroad to reconnect with their homeland at a moment of economic and artistic opportunity in a rapidly developing emergent art world. Other artists who have ethnic or cultural affiliations with China, have continued to work in the UK with references to China or Chinese cultures and yet others have also produced new works through journeys and residencies in China.
This symposium presents talks by established British-based artists and academics who have engaged with issues of interventional strategies, language and mis/interpretation, colonialism, cross-cultural juxtapositions, fragmented identities and the symbolic, metaphorical or real representation of "China." It aims to address the question of whether China's new presence as a cultural force through art has further divided the "global" from the "national." In the discussions, we hope to identify new questions in the continuing field of cultural identities, in the light of recent exhibitions such as Altermodern (Tate Triennial 2009) and Translocalmotion (Shanghai Biennial, 2008).

Association of Art Historians (AAH) Student Members' Summer Symposium 2009
University of Bristol

23-24 June 2009
[from AAH, 5/10/09; panels/papers relating to Chinese and Japanese visual culture listed below]
A good deal of time and effort is spent on interpreting representation. At the same time, modes of interpretation and representation each formulate their own frameworks as a means of navigating through the complexities of reading and viewing art. But what is there to be seen, and what critically found within the layers of reading? The frame is a contested space: a site of neutrality and comment, of discourse and ownership, of authorship and institutionalisation. In their materiality, frames contain and present the image; as a methodology, frameworks grant access to, and shape our understanding of, the object in question. This year’s AAH Summer Symposium wishes to explore the ways in which we read images. Across the span of histories, places, and modalities of art as part of a visual culture, the ways of approaching the image become essential to what we come to comprehend as ‘the image’, its limits and boundaries.

University of Heidelberg
25 June 2009
[from Heidelberg, 6/18/09]
This paper addresses the highly innovative painting techniques and aesthetic texts of Takahashi Yuichi (1828-94), Japan’s first significant oil painter. Although Yuichi’s status as the "founding father of oil painting" has generated a large commentarial literature in Japanese, recent conservation studies have led to new and surprising insights into how early Japanese oil painters understood their medium, technical repertoire, and the representational possibilities of pigments suspended in oil. Mapping this new understanding of Yuichi’s facture against his discursive texts highlights the degree to which oil was associated in a Japanese context not so much with Western compositional techniques, but primarily a viscous and paste-like painting medium with a unique ability to convey "the idea of things." Indeed, this fascination with the unctuous qualities of oil-based pigments extends back many centuries in East Asia, where in earlier eras a variety of local materials--most prominently lacquer--were used to approximate them. Takahashi carefully chose his painting subjects to foreground these qualities of oil painting, and many works were intended to complement his discursive advocacy of the medium. In arguing robustly for the advantages of oil-based pictorial representation during the Meiji period, Yuichi’s artworks and writings provide an important window onto the contingencies of the rapidly changing landscape for visual media in nineteenth-century Japan. At the same time, they greatly enrich an evolving world history of oil painting that has all too often under-appreciated developments in East Asia.
Yukio Lippit is the Harris K. Weston Associate Professor in the Humanities, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University, where he [has taught] since 2003. His research and publication activities include a wide range of issues regarding the history and historiography of Japanese art, such as ink painting, pictorial narratives, zen and painting, the Kano [school] of painters (on which he wrote his dissertation, and a monograph is forthcoming). His most recent co-authored and co-edited book with Gregory Levine is Awakenings: Zen Figure Painting in Medieval Japan, accompanying the much-acclaimed exhibition of the same title at the Japan Society, 2007. Prof. Lippit has been a fellow at the most renowned institutions of art history, such as the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, The National Gallery, Washington, DC, and the J. Paul Getty Research Institute, and has received numerous grants and awards.
This lecture is funded by the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context: Shifting Asymmetries in Cultural Flows" at Heidelberg University.

This conference looks at imported objects, whether artworks, antiquities, plants, or books, in collections in Europe and elsewhere. It addresses the mechanisms of import and distribution of the objects and the contribution collections of such pieces made towards improving the knowledge about foreign countries and people.
Collections usually concentrate on what is rare and hard to come by. This rarity may refer to the age or the material of the collected objects but frequently is a condition resulting from the object’s exotic origins. As the differences between remote countries were not understood, it was natural to attribute romantic stories and magical powers to objects, enhancing their importance and the prestige of the collector at the same time. Merchants, explorers, warriors, and pirates travelled widely and we can look back at a long history of imported treasures in the collections of European princes. The Medici, for example, started collecting porcelain in the fifteenth century. Objects from the New World found their way into European collections from the early sixteenth century onwards. Weapons from the Near East formed an important part of any princely Armoury north and south of the Alps. Perhaps less well known is that in China collections of European art and armour were amassed by the Emperors of the seventeenth and eighteenth century.

The 2009 conference adopts the theme of "jiu," and thus takes up the challenge of both celebrating and commemorating the achievements and hardships of the past century 1909-2009 in the Chinese-speaking world. We draw your attention to the many significant events that have occurred in the "jiu" (nine) years, from the beginning of the southern Chinese film industry in 1909, to the phenomenal reach of political events, achievements and tragedies in 1919, 1949, 1959, 1979, 1989. At the time of writing, 2009 is an unknown quantity.
The conference is also a showcase for all Chinese research in Australia. The CSAA membership includes some of the finest China researchers in the world, and an acknowledgment of that excellence is important to this meeting.

In traditional Chinese chronological systems the 60-year time unit is one of the key ways of classifying and dividing temporal periods from human lives to historical eras. The 60 years since 1949 provide an excellent framework for examining and analysing China's development, especially in relation to the country's future direction. Despite the profound and accelerating changes taking place in the PRC over the last 30 years of structural reforms, all of the major transformations in Chinese society since the founding of the PRC 60 years ago need to be examined if we are to have a full understanding of the serious challenges that China is currently facing.

While China and Europe developed asymmetrically over many centuries, historical moments of contact and exchange profoundly affected both. This one-day conference introduces scholars of western European cultures to cutting-edge topics in fields outside their normal ken and engages them in conversation with experts studying the history of China, circa the Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Four pairs of scholars will identify and examine points of significant historical exchange, influence, conflict, or divergence for a non-specialist audience. Broadly defined, the four session topics include literary traditions; ethnography, travel writing, and cartography; science, technology, and instrumentality; and economic trade, especially the developing Western market for decorative arts including porcelain and silk.
This conference is supported by a grant from the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange. It is coordinated with the Folger exhibition, Imagining China: The View from Europe, 1550–1700, which will be curated by Timothy Billings (Middlebury College).

This two-day conference builds on the achievements of the recently completed Mazarin Chest Project. It will bring together a group of twenty speakers from the fields of lacquer conservation, conservation science and material culture from Australia, North America, Japan, Europe and the UK.
Art historical papers will explore aspects of lacquer history including the trade in lacquer in Asia and Europe. Scientific papers will include lacquer analysis, the use of solvents for cleaning lacquer, stress measurement in lacquer films, and new evidence of the use of South East Asian materials in seventeenth century Japanese export lacquer.
Conservation papers will discuss risk factors for lacquer collections, cleaning techniques, and the photo-degradation of lacquer and potential conservation treatments.
The keynote talk will be given by Dr Christine Guth.
The conference has been made possible through the generosity of The Getty Foundation.
