DUE August 1, CFP for RSA San Juan: Im/Materiality in Renaissance Arts

Lisa Pon and Kate van Orden
San Juan, Puerto Rico
03/09/2023-03/11/2023, 9-5
Between the fourteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Florentines wrote extensively, committing their personal and business exchanges to ink on paper, even while thinking about wealth not in terms of metallic coins but rather in terms of abstracted moneys of account. In and well beyond Florence, Renaissance artists across Europe worked with gold and silver, wax and wood, sound and space to create both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This panel seeks to revisit the "material turn" in the humanities and to recouple Renaissance materiality to the immaterial. Thus we ask about the spatial, technical, ritual, and institutional framings of any material work of art and about the past voices, phantom performers, and music that enlivened plays, dances, processions, liturgies, and other events. We seek to incite more performative, active imaginings of various objects in their artworlds—books, musical instruments, tools, pigments, dye woods, lead type, copper plates, among much more—and the artists who once manipulated them, breathed on them, and performed before them.
Proposals will also be considered for a special issue of Arts journal co-edited by Lisa Pon (USC) and Kate van Orden (Harvard).
Please email 150-word abstract and 200-word cv to lisapon@usc.edu and vanorden@fas.harvard.edu before AUGUST 1.

Chicago Printmakers Collaborative could not be more thrilled to partner up with our pals at Hoofprint Studio to host a big summer steamroller printing extravaganza! It’s been 4 whole years since our last one, so we’re practically chomping at the bit to get inky and print up some gigantic relief blocks in our back driveway.

While the steamroller may be the star of the show, the whole shop will be buzzing with activities and fun!

Master printmaker Curlee Raven Holton, who also serves as executive director of the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland, College Park, discusses his artistic practice, with an emphasis on the intersections of race and printmaking.

IMPRINTING RACE: A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON THE MATERIALITY OF PRINT AND THE MAKING OF RACE

FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2022
3:00 PM–4:00 PM

This roundtable explores the role of printmaking in tangibly shaping and challenging ideas of racial difference. Motivated by colonial encounters and the later, widespread institution of chattel slavery in the Atlantic world, early modern Europeans and their inheritors sought to materialize race to ground social hierarchy in physical, bodily difference. The participants of this conversation will consider two important strands of recent art-historical scholarship on materiality and the production of race, exploring the question: how have the constitution of matrix and print shaped different conceptions of surfaces and bodies?

Participants include Horace Ballard (Harvard Art Museums), Layla Bermeo (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), Jennifer Chuong (Harvard University), Jase Clark (Raven Fine Art Editions), Thadeus Dowad (University of California, Berkeley), Kailani Polzak (University of California, Santa Cruz), and Curlee Raven Holton (Lafayette College and Raven Fine Art Editions).

Presented live in the Clark's auditorium. This program will also be livestreamed; advance registration online (https://www.clarkart.edu/event/detail/1988-88539) to receive the livestream link is required.

Additional support provided by the Association of Print Scholars and The Rare Book School.

Virtual Symposium: “Collecting, Curating, and Consuming American Popular Graphic Arts Yesterday and Today” (25 MARCH 2022)

Library Company of Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA, United States
03/25/2022, 9AM-5PM
Virtual symposium in conjunction with Imperfect History: Collecting the Graphic Arts Collection at Benjamin Franklin’s Public Library in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Graphic Arts Department at the Library Company of Philadelphia

Please join us for the concluding program for the exhibition Imperfect History: Curating the Graphic Arts Collection at Benjamin Franklin’s Public Library (September 20, 2021 – April 8, 2022). Imperfect History explores the development of the Library’s graphics art collection as it relates to historical and cultural biases within American history. The exhibition is a candid exploration of the evolution of American graphic arts curatorship and collections in one of the oldest cultural institutions in the country.

Collecting, Curating, and Consuming American Popular Graphic Arts Yesterday and Today, including a keynote lecture by Makeda Best, Harvard Art Museums, continues the conversation started through Imperfect History. The symposium seeks to examine changing and innovative directions in how historical popular graphic art (i.e., art not traditionally classified as fine art, that is representative of popular culture, and/or is mass produced and consumed) is curated, interpreted, and used and understood by those who produced, viewed, and consumed it. Collecting, Curating, and Consuming asks how does historical American popular graphic art act as a mirror, bridge, and barrier in facilitating our visual conceptions of our past and present?

Further information, including sessions, panelists, and where to register is at the External Link below.

The exhibition and programming is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation, Walter J. Miller Trust, Center for American Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Jay Robert Stiefel and Terra Foundation for American Art.

Join us for a two-part workshop that explores printmaking with the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Studio.

All skill levels are welcome.

During each hour-and-a-half session, participants will be guided by printmakers from the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and will be able to ask questions live through Zoom breakout rooms.
