University of Delaware Symposium
The Ends of Portrayal: One Hundred Years of Modern Portraiture, 1850-1950

This one day symposium will explore the development of portraiture in the visual arts during a period of rapid change when ideas of human subjectivity, identity, and individuality were being redefined and new media, formats, and uses challenged earlier traditions of portraiture. All speakers will present new research and there will be ample time for responses and questions from the formal respondents and the audience. The organizer of the symposium, Professor Margaret Werth, and University of Delaware faculty Professors Nina Kallmyer and Michael Leja will be respondents to the talks. The speakers are Elizabeth Siegel, Assistant Curator of Photography, Art Institute of Chicago, speaking on American carte de visite portraits; Susan Sidlauskas, Associate Professor, Department of the History of Art, University of Pennsylvania on color and portraiture; Jeffrey Weiss, Curator and Head, Modern and Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Art, on Picasso's portraits of Fernande; Catherine Soussloff, Professor of History of Art and Visual Culture, University of California, Santa Cruz, on Viennese art history and portraiture; Brigid Doherty, Assistant Professor, Department of Art History, Princeton University, on a wedding portrait by George Grosz; and Leesa Rittleman, Assistant Professor of Art History, Hartwick College, on German national identity in the portrait photobooks of Sander, Lerski and Lendvai-Dircksen. The symposium is free and open to the public.

Henry Moore Conference
Object Excavation - Intervention: Dialogues between Sculpture and Archaeology

4 - 5 June 2004, Leeds, United Kingdom deadline for proposals: 6 October 2003

This two-day international and interdisciplinary conference aims to bring together archaeologists and art historians to discuss the links between sculpture and archaeology. We invite papers, for example, that look at:

-The history of archaeological thought and archaeological discovery in relation to the history of sculpture

-Archaeology as a metaphor in modernity and psychoanalysis

-Issues of depth/surface and the role of discovery and revelation

-Myths of origins and the ways in which the archaeological dig, the cave and the quarry have been variously appropriated

The philosophy of place and the ways in which questions of site-specificity are significant to both sculpture and archaeology (in urban, rural and industrial environments)

How notions of 'archasism' and 'classicism' etc. have been constructed through archaeology and have been taken up politically by sculptors, archaeologists and writers at different times

We are very interested in papers that trace those historical moments when there seems to have been a 'symbiosis' between sculpture and archaeological discovery, from c. 1700 to the present. We are also particularly interested in reading proposals from archaeologists who are interested in sculpture and who are interested in sharing new approaches to archaeology with sculpture historians.

Conference chairs include: Anne Wagner (Berkeley), Barbara Bender (UCL) and Thomas Dowson (Manchester).

Please send 500 word proposals to Liz Aston at the Henry Moore Institute at liz@henry-moore.ac.uk
