Envisioning Gender and Sexuality in Premodern European Prints
Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, October 17, 2025
Abstract deadline April 1, 2025

Held in conjunction with the exhibition, Imagination, Faith, and Desire:
Agency in European Printmaking, 1475-1800

Conceptions of sexuality and gender underwent profound changes in Europe during the premodern era (roughly 1300-1750) and were an important avenue of exploration for printmakers. In art prints, broadsheets, fashion plates, and anatomies alike, human subjects were fashioned and viewed in conversation with cultural attitudes and beliefs about gender and sexuality. Canonical works such as Albrecht Dürer’s Adam and Eve and Henrick Goltzius’s Farnese Hercules as Seen from Behind not only convey notions of artistic excellence but also their ideas about idealized bodies, gender roles, and sexuality. Additionally, gender and sexuality had profound effects on artistic practices and training. In a time when many women were precluded from traditional apprenticeships and professional guilds, printmaking could present alternative paths to collaboration and network building. Moreover, as an artform linked with the broad circulation of knowledge but also with intimate, private viewing, prints open doors to consider how artists and beholders conceived of their own experiences of gender and sexuality in and outside of social norms.

This symposium will explore artistic production, practices, and the agency of printed media before 1750 as they intersect with themes of sexuality and gender.

We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on themes of gender and sexuality on themes including, but not limited to:
- women and gender nonconforming artists, patrons, collectors, and viewers
- representations of unconventional gender identities
- printed media and same-sex desire
- fashion and the sartorial politics of gender
- case studies on printed media through feminist, queer, nonbinary, and trans lenses

The symposium will be hybrid, blending in person presentations with online presentations via zoom to make the event more equitable and permit international participation, and will also include a walkthrough of the exhibition.

The keynote speaker will be Nicole Cook, Senior Program Manager at the Center for Netherlandish Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Dr. Cook will share her research about seventeenth-century Dutch prints of “nightwalkers” and how they envisage a space for gender nonconformity.

To submit, please send an abstract of no more than 250 words along with a 2-page CV (including contact info, any institutional affiliation, and your preference to present in-person or virtually) to Sandra Racek (sandraracek2014@u.northwestern.edu) and Maureen Warren, Curator of European and American art, Krannert Art Museum (maureen@illinois.edu) by April,1, 2025.

In celebration of Print Center New York’s 25 year history of platforming guest curators, we invite emerging and early-career curators to submit letters of interest for exhibition opportunities beginning in 2028. Through this curatorial open call—the first in our organization’s history—we aim to identify promising voices and areas of research that are pushing our field forward, and to accelerate professional opportunities for curators who are building the print exhibition and scholarship of tomorrow.

Print Center New York’s curatorial program aims to generate new knowledge and understanding of printmaking’s potential by: locating print within broader artistic, historical, and cultural contexts; re-examining and expanding established histories and narratives; fostering cross-disciplinary conversation; and making print visible and accessible to non-specialist audiences.

Program Features:

We work closely with guest curators to realize their projects at their fullest potential.

Mentorship Group: Print Center convenes a working group of subject-area experts who act as a sounding board at key intervals in a project’s development.

Comprehensive Guidance: Our curatorial staff provides guidance and feedback on areas such as project conceptualization, writing, and public engagement development.

Full Production Support: Our team handles project management, logistics, and budget administration, and all aspects of exhibition production and installation, outreach, and publicity.

Our exhibitions are on view in Print Center New York’s main exhibition space, the Jordan Schnitzer Gallery, on the ground floor of 24th Street in Chelsea. The gallery is about 1800 square feet, and floor plans will be shared with curators we invite to submit full proposals. We are able to borrow works from a range of lenders, including institutional/museum collections.
Our exhibitions are on view for about 12 weeks and are accompanied by a roster of public programming and, typically, a modest publication.

We define “emerging and early career” as those with less than 15 years of professional arts experience.
Curators must be present for key dates such as exhibition installation, opening, and select programming.

Call for Applicants
The UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, Hammer Museum invites applicants for a five-day seminar in Los Angeles for early- to mid-career curators responsible for print collections. The project is designed to offer learning opportunities not commonly part of advanced academic study, which are critical to meeting the needs of 21st-century museums and the communities they serve.
This seminar is made possible with support from Getty through The Paper Project initiative.

Program
Exploring Los Angeles’s exceptional resources and diverse expertise, this seminar will combine hands-on and technical study with cross-disciplinary discussions based in museum and library print collections, conservation labs, and printmaking studios. By engaging in conversation with curators, conservators, collection managers, printers, artists, grant funders, and community-based arts workers, participants will be encouraged to think expansively about the potential and significance of their curatorial work in the field of prints. This program has identified foundational areas of learning that Los Angeles is uniquely positioned to address: technical study of prints from their making to their preservation and care; assessing and establishing collection development opportunities and priorities in different types of institutions; collection management, access, and display; cross-institutional partnerships that amplify impact; philanthropy; and community engagement. Through in-person viewing and handling of artworks and artist's materials, this seminar will offer participants new modes of inquiry and develop tools for assessing, interpreting, and caring for prints that will broaden the intellectual framing of their curatorial work. The cohort will gain familiarity with Los Angeles collections and specialists, which we hope will inspire future projects and collaborations.

The seminar centers on collections, organizations, and expertise in Los Angeles and comprises three 1-hour virtual meetings and a 5-day in-person seminar. An optional 1-2 days of accommodation support before or after the in-person sessions may be available.

We will accept a group of 10 to 12 curators to participate in the seminar, allowing for intimate dialogue and a diversity of perspectives.
