CALL FOR PAPERS
The Graduate Art History Joint Program of Case Western Reserve University
and the Cleveland Museum of Art announce:
The 36th Annual Cleveland Symposium
The Art of Exchange
Cross-Cultural Ideas in a Visual World
Friday, February 26, 2010
Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, Ohio
The
2010 Cleveland Symposium invites graduate submissions exploring
cross-cultural influences throughout the history of art. The exchange
of ideas across local, regional, national, and continental borders has
been one of the major vehicles by which art changes over time. We are
seeking papers using all methodologies that explore these convergences.
Examples include cases of artists influenced by other artists, places,
time, culture, history, and any other relationships that are ultimately
expressed in visual and material culture. We welcome submissions from
graduate students in all stages of their studies and from all fields of
art history including Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, Contemporary and
Non-Western. A monetary prize will be awarded to the speaker who
presents the most innovative research in the most successfully
delivered paper.
Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words, along with a curriculum vitae, to clevelandsymposium@gmail.com by December 11, 2009.
Selected presenters will be notified by January 1, 2010.
