The Museum of Modern Art announces its first annual Graduate Symposium on
Modern and Contemporary Art, When Was Modern Art? A Contemporary Question,
scheduled for April 9, 2005 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The symposium
will investigate past and current interpretations of modern art's
beginnings in written histories, museum displays, and artworks. Hans
Belting, Director of the International Research Center for Sciences of
Culture (IFK) in Vienna, will present the keynote address on April 8 at
6:30 p.m.
Call for Papers
International graduate students are encouraged to submit papers that
examine, for example, why modern art's historical origin has been
variously located in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Belle
Époque? What visual and cultural forms did modern art take, where,
and why? How did the emergence of the category of "contemporary," as
distinct from "modern," alter our understanding of modern art's
chronology? Papers may focus on, among other subjects, institutional
histories of modern museums and academies, artworks that dominate
narratives of modern art; international differences in defining the
modern, and alternative and unfinished histories that yield new meanings
of modernity and its art. Eligibility is limited to graduate students who
hold at least an MA in art history or other related disciplines. PhD
candidates who have completed their MA requirements, PhDs, and recent
post-doctorates (within the last two years) are also encouraged to apply.
Symposium candidates should include the following in their applications:
Curriculum vita (maximum two pages), an abstract (maximum 500 words),
final paper (maximum length 10 pages), and the name of a faculty advisor
who will review the final paper and provide support in preparing the
presentation. The abstract and the paper should be printed in
eleven-point font, double-spaced, with margins no smaller than one inch.
Papers must be written and presented in English.
Travel, hotel, and food expenses will be paid for the selected graduate
students. Submissions should be postmarked by January 14, 2005, and sent
to:
Graduate Symposium Committee
Department of Education
The Museum of Modern Art
11 West 53 Street
New York, NY 10019
