Literary and Artistic Exhibition Strategies
Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: Colby College
Deadline: 04/01/10
The session “Literary and Artistic Exhibition Strategies: même combat?” (“Displaying Word & Image,” U of Ulster, Belfast, 4-6 June 2010) will explore in what ways one’s disciplinary origin and formation shape both the design of exhibitions as well as one’s viewing. In other words, does disciplinary background determine exhibition strategies and if yes, what can we learn from these differences? What dilemmas, challenges, and opportunities arise when exhibiting visual and verbal works alongside? Can they ever be exhibited as true equals or is there always a hierarchical relationship in which one is only a supplement of the other? What happens in the case of “double lives” such as literary figures who also worked in visual media and visual artists who expressed themselves in literary forms? How does one competently tie the two facets of expression? We encourage papers exploring a range of case studies both contemporary and historical. Véronique Plesch, vbplesch@colby.edu
