Antenna’s Paper Machine Residency will host local and national/international artists to develop creative projects and public programs that explore and expand the possibilities of print-based artistic inquiry. The Residency will annually welcome 6-8 artists — split evenly to feature a mix of local and national/international artists to realize unique proposals for print-focused projects and public programs. Over the course of a month long residency at Paper Machine, Artists-in-Residence will: 1) develop original editioned work under the broadly-defined rubric of printmaking, including publications, sculptural books, zines, multiples, and other such works; and 2) will present complementary programs that engage the public in their artistic process, including participatory compositions, workshops, or artist talks. Selected Artists will be awarded a $1500 honorarium, paid travel to and from New Orleans, a month long stay in the Paper Machine residency space, and assistance in development/execution of a 300 piece edition with 50 copies given to the artist.

Thirteenth International Conference of Iconographic Studies
"Afterlife of Antiquity - Case Studies and New Perspectives in Iconology"

The concept of Antiquity and its afterlife, largely introduced by Aby Warburg to art historical research, has had a profound influence on generations of scholarship. The paradigm continues to spark dialogue among today’s scholars of art history as well as many other disciplines, including history, anthropology, literature, theory of art and others. This colloquium will consider the afterlife of Antiquity as form of memory as well as the use of classical models in their morphological significance. Scholars are invited to present proposals on topics relating to the continuity and discontinuity of the use of classical tradition in history of art (mythology, historical themes, literature), and use and reuse of the ancient models within the specific historical contexts. Our intention is to reflect upon subjects and problems in reference to the classical western art as well as to comparative approaches to other cultures.

Academic papers that will approach these subjects from interdisciplinary and methodologically diverse angles are welcome. The themes and subjects include:
- survival/afterlife of classical mythology in Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern art
- survival/afterlife of Roman legends and history in Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern art
- Antiquity of the "Others" (in time and space) in an anthropological perspective
- continuity, discontinuity and ruptures of classical tradition in history of art
- case-studies of the use of topoi, schemata, Pathosformeln, and gestures in history of art
- reproductive and productive reception: copy, citation, variation, assimilation, and interpretation of the classical models
- re-contextualization – use of spolia
- classical motifs in contemporary art: use, reuse, and renewal
- memory of Antiquity as art-historiographical problem


Proposals should contain:
- full name, institution, affiliation, address, phone number(s), e-mail address
- title
- abstract (maximum 2 pages – 500 words)

Paper proposals should be submitted electronically to cis@ffri.hr BY JANUARY 15, 2019.
Invitations to participate will be sent out by email before February 15, 2019

There is NO registration fee

Administration and organizational costs, working materials, lunch and coffee breaks during conference, closing dinner as well as all organized visits are covered by the organizers.

All presented papers will be published in the thematic issue of the IKON journal in May 2020.

Editors: Liesbeth Minnaard and Kea Wienand

The recent rise in migratory movements to the European Global North and the simultaneous increase in attempts to forestall this immigration has resulted in numerous images and narratives that try to capture and mediate the happenings at Europe’s borders. Many of these representations render the actors involved in these migratory movements suspect, and present those happenings as beyond our control. At the same time, however, representations of flight and illegalized migration have been accompanied by discussions about their appropriateness, their moral justifiability and the diverse ways in which they are being mobilized. Part of these discussions, that not only take place in the fields of art and literature, but also in popular culture and public media, is the search for more ‘critical’ approaches to the topic; a call for new grammars and alternative imaginaries that avoid the criminalizing discourse on terrorism and threat, and that escape the pitfalls of the “overarching trope of victimhood.” The question at stake in this issue of FKW is what counts as critical in our current situation? What does a critical position actually entail in a Europe that emphatically stages itself as ‘in crisis’ and as at loss with its identity?

Chantal Mouffe states that “critical art is art that foments dissensus, that makes visible what the dominant consensus tends to obscure and obliterate.”(2) But what does this mean in a time in which claims of crisis and states of exception determine the dominant consensus, and the ideas that ‘we need to stop this’ and that ‘there is no alternative’ are primarily explained in terms of drawing lines and closing borders. In a time in which a supposedly feminist agenda is invoked in order to legitimate acts of hostility and violence against ‘others’ or to install and justify mechanisms of exclusion? And in a time in which the use of adjectives such as fake and bogus result in a broadly felt sense of distrust? We, as editors of this special issue of FKW, believe that it is of the utmost importance to intervene in such debates about defending Europe and protecting an (ill-defined) European identity and to reflect, from a gender-critical, cultural-analytical point of view, on what it means (or should mean) to be critical about suchlike discourses and practices.

We therefore invite contributions that discuss thought-provoking perspectives and possible answers and alternatives in the fields of art, literature, theatre and performance, but also in the broader fields of popular culture and political activism; contributions that ponder on the question what it means to be critical in these various fields of cultural production, and critical in respect of what (and what not)? What are the – ideological, material, moral – effects of critical artistic positions? And can critical artistic interventions actually bring about a broader shift in people’s thoughts and attitudes towards these migratory processes, or is the current topicality of the refugee crisis in art and literature simply profitable, as was suggested in regard to the various works on the refugee crisis by Ai Weiwei?

The 67th issue of FKW aims to address suchlike questions and to explore both the possibilities and the limits of artistic forms of critique on Europe’s migration politics. We welcome contributions that address the above-mentioned questions as well as related issues, either on a more philosophical/theoretical level or by discussing specific case studies from the fields of art, literature, performance, activism and popular culture.

This issue of FKW will be bilingual: contributions can be written either in German or English. Please send an abstract (in English or German, 250 words maximum) and a short CV to the issue editors, Liesbeth Minnaard (e.minnaard@hum.leidenuniv.nl) and Kea Wienand (kea.wienand@uni-oldenburg.de), who can also be contacted in case of questions.
