partecipazione italiana: Martina Corgnati
For the second year in
succession, the Institute of Art History and the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb
organize an international conference within the project Postmedia and non-institutional art practices from the 60s onwards.
The project is conceived as a platform of knowledge, and is implemented through
collaboration and dialogue between professionals working in various
institutions and who research and explore the significant postmedia art
phenomena, with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe and the wider Mediterranean
region.
Since the conference is
educational in character, the target audiences are young scientists and artists
or students of art academies and humanities. It is going to be held – same as
the last year – in the Müller Hall at the Cinema Europe, on Tuesday the 10th
and Wednesday the 11th of November, under the title Constructions of Memory.
Considering that the very
concept of history has become an unavoidable subject of interest of different
contemporary intermedia art practices, and that our understanding of history is
inseparable from the processes of constructing memory, the conference will
question the complex relationships between the concepts of image, media, body,
memory, remembrance, archive, time, language and imagination. The goal of the
conference is to present different interdisciplinary research focusing on the
intersections of experimental and critical art practices with research in the
field of humanities and contemporary political theories. Participants on the
conference are fourteen internationally renowned professionals who will hold
lectures, performative lectures and present their own art works.
