Art History and Bildwissenschaft: interfaces, interactions, antinomies
Organized by Department of Art History & Center for Visual Studies and Image History, Masaryk University and The Moravian Gallery in Brno together with the Friends of MG
With the support of Goethe Institut Prag
Venue: Uměleckoprůmyslové muzeum Moravské galerie v Brně /Museum of Applied Arts of Moravian Gallery/, Husova 14, Brno
The conference will reflect on practices and agenda of Bildwissenschaft, or science of images, in relation to the discipline of art history and on various issues and problems arising at the intersection of these two fields of enquiry. It will explore various modes and points of interface, interaction and antinomy (actual, as well as potential) between art history and Bildwissenschaft, both in university/ academic environment and in the realm of museum and exhibition practice.
