Perin Emel Yavuz (CEFRES & FMSH) will challenge the notions of center and periphery in her lecture on the turn of art which occured in the 60-80s avant-garde in Bratislava in the frame of the seminar of the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
Language: English
Where: Jilská 1, Prague 1
The remarkable turn of art which occured in the 1960s-1980s has been under the scrutiny of researchers in Western Europe and United States since the early 2000s. Yet, most of their investigations focus on this geographical area assumed to be the center of the avant-garde. Attention given to “margins” and other “peripheries” offers a different perspective to what is an obvious Western ethnocentric myth. Through the study of the microcosm of Bratislava neo-avant-garde, this lecture aims to highlight the chronological parallelisms known between “center” and “periphery” art. The study of artworks and artists’ careers will help understanding the origins of this turn of art, between transfers and local context.
Lara BONNEAU (CEFRES & Université Paris I)
will hold a conference in the frame of the Seminary Collegium historiae artium of the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of sciences
Where: Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences, Husova 4, Prague 1, room 117
Language: English
The work of the Art historian Aby Warburg (1866-1929) was elaborated within a philosophical and theoretical corpus that tends to be neglected. His esthetics was part of a more general project : elaborating a Psychology based on the relationships of the different symbolic forms forged by human beings. His method thus oscillates between an extreme attention to the details of the works of Art, and the general ambition to build a « Science of Culture ». We will focus on the notion of « energy » and relate it to the use Warburg makes of the concept of « polarity ». This way, we will try to understand the role philosophical influences played in the developpement of his work.
