AAC colloque "Artist films and video in Tuscany 1960-1990", Florence novembre 2016
Date limite : 26 septembre 2016
Senzacornice | Research and Education Lab for Contemporary Art organizes a two-day international conference entitled Memories of Contemporary. The conference is focused on contemporary arts archives with particular attention to the Tuscan context. The main objective is an in-depth examination on new features acquired by archives since the Sixties, when documentary collections became critical devices of diffused memories that gather multiple and complex materials, such as artist books and films, photographs, magazines, postcards and ephemera. The call for proposals Artist Films and Video in Tuscany 1960-1990 welcomes proposals from early- and mid-career scholars of art history or related disciplines, inviting them to present an artist film or video, linked with the Tuscan experimental context (1960-1990), to be shown during the conference. The main topics of interest may include (but are not limited to) :
the role of artist films and video in creating and promoting Tuscan visual-cultural identity ; films and video of Italian and international artists that have influenced the experimental art and critical reflection in Tuscany ; artist films and video produced in Tuscany shown in exhibitions or promoted by Italian and international magazines. Submissions should be accompanied by a historical-critical presentation proposal (designed for a ten-minute oral speech, followed by film/video screening) that analyzes the submitted artist film or video, also in relation to its archival context of provenance.
Submission guidelines Submissions should be emailed to info@senzacornice.org
by September 26, 2016
and should include :
presentation abstract (max. 400 words, Italian or English) ; proposed film information : artist’s name, title, year, format, feature length, archive of provenance (institution, natural or legal person) ; short CV. Please note that in the moment of submission applicants are expected to have the rights of free use and screening for the submitted film/video in the context of this conference and that this does not collide with the rights of other third parties or collecting societies.
