Looking Inside. The Home in Italian Art and Visual Culture from the 1940s to the 1970s.

Research Seminar
Thinkers such as Gaston Bachelard, Henri Lefebvre, and Joanne Hollows, among others, reflect on the personal and social meanings of the home. Demonstrating the relevance of domestic cultures to both lived experience and academic discourse, they argue that the home— and the interactions with and within it— contributes to shape our identity.

Anknüpfend an die Thesen zweier von der kunsthistorischen Forschung bislang weitgehend ignorierter Texte – Europerien auf China-Porzellan von Bruno Kisch und The Savage Hits Back von Julius Lips, beide 1937 erschienen – fokussiert der Workshop auf Außenperspektiven, die ein als veränderlich, vor allem aber als relational verstandenes Europa notwendig erzeugt.

Reimagining the Family Album: Carla Lonzi's Autoritratto (1969)

Research Seminar
When Carla Lonzi published Autoritratto (Self-Portrait) in 1969, it marked the self-imposed end of a career that had spanned a little over ten years. As is well known, the book collects much of Lonzi's art-critical output of this period, collating dozens of recorded interviews with a roll call of artists. [mehr]

Baroque to Neo-Baroque: Curves of an Art Historical Concept

Conference
In recent decades there has been a notable revival of scholarly discourse on the baroque. The term “baroque” emerged in the mid-eighteenth century as a pejorative designation for the dominant style of European art produced from c. 1600 to c. 1750. [mehr]
18290 1558429812

Renaissance Architectural Prints and the Cultural Techniques of Copying

Research Seminar
The advent of printing has long been derided as enabling individuals with little capacity for invention to design buildings by means of copying. For some theorists, this seemingly unimaginative replication of mechanically reproduced images heralded the rise of a banal formalism. [mehr]

Alberi messicani. Le immagini botaniche della Nuova Spagna e la loro circolazione in Europa, 1552-1585

Research Seminar
Lo scopo principale dell'intervento sarà presentare una serie di produzioni iconografiche relative alla rappresentazione del mondo naturale, eseguite da diversi gruppi di tlaquiloque (scribi/artisti indigeni) attivi nella Nuova Spagna fra gli anni Cinquanta e Ottanta del Cinquecento. [mehr]

Henriette-Hertz-Lecture: Towards a Media History of the Women's Liberation Movement

Lecture
This lecture is based on the ongoing research and exhibition project on the legacy of French actress, video maker and activist Delphine Seyrig. Mostly known as one of the leading actresses of 1960s–1970s French cinema, during the 1970s Seyrig became a media and a feminist activist working collaboratively within the framework of the women's liberation movement.

Tra memoria e oblio: le arti contemporanee e i fascismi europei

Conference
  • Datum: 09.04.2019
  • Uhrzeit: 09:30 - 20:00
Le conseguenze storiche del fascismo hanno avuto un ruolo importante nella formazione del progetto politico europeo. La memoria del fascismo ha avuto un impatto talvolta violento, talvolta più sottile e complesso, tanto sulla vita quotidiana dei cittadini europei quanto sull'elaborazione intellettuale. Interrogare la storia è stato per molti artisti un modo per affrontare la memoria del passato traumatico sia nei termini di un confronto sporadico, sia facendo di quell'interrogativo l'oggetto centrale del loro lavoro.

From Words to Space – Textual Sources for Reconstructing and Understanding Medieval Sacred Spaces

Workshop
The workshop aims to analyze and discuss various categories of texts related or linkable to sacred, ritual and liturgical spaces in the Middle Ages, with a geographical focus on Southern Italy. [mehr]
18853 1558626078

From Marcus Aurelius's Horse to the Sexuality of Christ. Conceiving European History 500-1500 after Euro-Centrism

Research Seminar
The firmly institutionalized model of historical interpretation "ancient – medieval – modern" is a child of the so-called secularization paradigm and the classic case of a Eurocentric corset. The current work on new, post-Eurocentric concepts of Latin-European history is a paradigm shift that shakes historical scholarship in its foundations. [mehr]
17988 1558429925

Inventing the Picture History of Photography

Conference
Histories of Photography have been written almost as long as photographic pictures exist: Daguerre's manual from 1839 and the first chapter of Talbot's The Pencil of Nature, penned in 1844, are the earliest examples of such an interest in media history. These narratives are shaped according to ongoing improvements of apparatuses and techniques that have been developed by (male) inventors. [mehr]

"Guttuso, 'Guernica', Gramsci"

Research Seminar
From 1940, the year he joined the underground Communist Party, until 1943, the year of Mussolini's fall, the Communist artist Renato Guttuso carried a postcard reproduction of Picasso's Guernica in his wallet, describing it as 'the ideal membership card of the ideal party'. [mehr]

"A Time of Synthesis": Roman Art at Midcentury

Research Seminar
Italian art during the middle of the twentieth century existed at a tumultuous crossroads of geopolitics and Modernist aesthetics. From within this volatile circumstance emerged a constant searching for artistic languages with which to explore Italy's presents and recent pasts. [mehr]
18850 1558625402

The Page as Fiction: Photography in 1930s Italian Illustrated Periodicals

Lecture
The development of a modern photographic culture and visual literacy in Italy was driven by the creation of illustrated periodicals and propelled by a dynamic group of editors and writers working for the magazine factory of Angelo Rizzoli in Milan. A close look at the Rizzoli illustrated weeklies published between 1927 and 1938, at the height of Italian Fascism, demonstrates a culture of entertainment and consumerism that was as inventive as that of European periodicals. [mehr]

The Past as a Source for New Identities

Research Seminar
History of Architecture is often used as an approbation of the roots of a country or nation. Greece and Rome were the cradle for all Europe and Historicist approaches in the architectural production were typical in the 19th and also 20th century. [mehr]

A Difficult Heritage: The Afterlife of Fascist-Era Architecture, Monuments, and Works of Art in Italy

Internationale Studientagung
Many urban projects realized during the Ventennio remain part of the Italian landscape and, together with architectural monuments and works of art, create a constellation of surviving images of Fascist visual culture in contemporary Italy. As part of the national cultural heritage these artefacts are protected by preservation laws. However, in the ambiguous process whereby Italy confronts its Fascist and colonial past, they have also become a nexus of critical debate and political struggle. [mehr]

Articulating the In-Between. Changing Exhibition Practices in Early Postwar Rome

Research Seminar
How, in the context of postwar Rome, can we better understand changing exhibition practices through paying closer attention to architecture – what Daniel Buren refers to as "the inevitable background, support and frame of any work?" Or, put another way, how did postwar Rome's built environment serve as a base connective tissue for evolving exhibitionary engagement? [mehr]
17591 1558429991

Gentile Bellini and the "Great Turk"

Research Seminar
Documents inform about the wish of Mehmet II, the Conqueror of Constantinople, to be portrayed by a Western painter. Some Italian artists (including Costanzo di Moysis da Ferrara) came to Istanbul in the 1460s and 1470s, but everything would seem to indicate that the sultan did not obtain what he wanted. [mehr]

Field Seminar
Visit to the workshop and to the archive of the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica. Located in the very building of the Fontana di Trevi, the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica is a museum dedicated to the collection of graphic art from the early modern period until today. [mehr]

Art in Outer Space (1969)

Lecture
In 1969, man set foot on the Moon – time to reflect on the role of art in the most mediatized event of modern times. The lecture, which opens the Spring Term of the Bibliotheca Hertziana’s academic program, addresses the question of the meaning of art in outer space and discusses works from Andy Warhol to Damien Hirst that have actually left the Earth.

Toccare il Dio Incarnato. Amuleti e preghiera 'tattile' durante l'Iconoclasmo bizantino tra Bisanzio e Roma

Lecture
Un discreto numero di amuleti e reliquari prodotti tra VIII-IX s. considerati affini su basi stilistiche e tecniche, ma contesi tra Costantinopoli e Roma, offre l'occasione di riflettere su diverse questioni. Toccare il Dio Incarnato. Amuleti e preghiera 'tattile' durante l’Iconoclasmo bizantino tra Bisanzio e Roma Conferenza serale di Francesca Dell'Acqua [mehr]

Omaggio a Christof Thoenes

Christof Thoenes ci ha lasciato il 21 ottobre 2018 poche settimane prima del suo 90 compleanno. La Bibliotheca Hertziana organizza il 5 dicembre una conferenza di commemorazione in suo onore. Christof Thoenes, nato il 4 dicembre 1928 a Dresda, ha iniziato nel 1949 i studi di storia dell'arte, germanistica e filosofia alla Freie Universität di Berlino. [mehr]

The Worker, the Monster and the Ancient Gods. "Operaismo", "Autonomia" and the Depiction of Revolutionaries

A shared concern of Italian operaismo-minded artists of the 1960s and 1970s was to devise images that mirrored both the material culture of the period’s labor struggles and "the workers’ point of view". [mehr]

Practical Knowledge of Art History. Romantic Painters as Scholars in the 19th Century.

"Artistic Research" is a key term in contemporary art discourse and is intended to unite the fields of humanities and natural sciences. Artistic research, however, already existed in the 19th century, particularly in the field of history. This lecture explores the contribution of artists to the formation of the scientific discipline of art history in the 19th century. [mehr]

Das Ende der Architekturzeichnung? Darstellungsmodi und Baupraxis zwischen 20. und 21. Jahrhundert

Gernsheim-Studientage
In the last decades, the far-reaching diffusion of electronic data processing instruments seems to have supplanted traditional methods of manual drawing and three-dimensional architectural model making. The capturing, planning and visualization of objects and buildings appears to be positively dominated by digital technologies and semi-automatic production methods, ranging from parametric and algorithmic modelling systems and digital recording tools to interactive animations and automatic 2D and 3D printing.

Mechanik der Natürlichkeit

Research Seminar
"Das Natürliche", schreibt Johann Georg Sulzer 1774, "ist eine der vorzüglichsten Eigenschaften der Werke der Kunst." Was könnte damit gemeint sein? Und welche Folgen hat es für die Kunst, wenn man ihr Natürlichkeit zuspricht? [mehr]

Crossing the Adriatic: Networks of Cultural Exchange Beyond the Yugoslav Region

Organized within the framework of the exhibition "Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia", 1948-1980 on view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, this study day convened by co-curators Martino Stierli and Vladimir Kulić with curatorial assistant Anna Kats and Tristan Weddigen, director of the Biblioteca Hertziana, will not be limited to architecture but instead will look at networks of cultural production and exchange more broadly along the Adriatic coasts.

Frameworks for Meaning and Experience in the Mendicant Convent

What do we mean - or, better, what should we think we mean - when we use the term 'period eye'? Baxandall famously defined it as cognitive style, encompassing the visual skills and 'habits of inference and analogy' brought to the viewing experience by people of a particular time and place. [mehr]

News from the Piranesi Studio: Drawings of Giovanni Battista Piranesi and his workshop at the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe

In summer 2014, nearly 300 drawings held by the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe were newly attributed to Giovanni Battista Piranesi and his workshop. For decades, the drawings mounted in two albums had been attributed to the Karlsruhe architect Friedrich Weinbrenner (1766 - 1826). It had been assumed that Weinbrenner had executed them during his stay in Rome from 1792 to 1797. [mehr]

Les nomenclatures stylistiques à l'épreuve de l'objet. Construction et déconstruction du langage de l'histoire de l'art

Whilst art history is increasingly assuming a global approach by restructuring in full its method of theorising and teaching the discipline, this research workshop proposes to reflect on the concepts of style and periods which have forged fields of study and made them relevant to modern day life.

Legare, misurare, attraversare - Un'ipotesi di risignificazione dello spazio espositivo nella Roma degli anni Settanta

La Roma degli anni Settanta è costellata da episodi espositivi nati all'interno di spazi privati e in luoghi pubblici non designati all'arte e destinati ad ospitarla per scelte spesso non permanenti o semplicemente incidentali. Guardare a questi spazi come fossero opere aiuta a decifrare una storia alternativa, e successiva, alla mitografia che accompagna il decennio Sessanta. [mehr]

Margins of early Renaissance painting

As if revisiting the religion's primordial decision in favor of an exoteric, rather than esoteric, identity, the Italian painters of the fourteenth century populated Christian subjects and scenes with semi-outsiders: watchers and doubters, anachronistic visitants, sponsors clerical and lay. Pressure on narrative from the outside tested the integrity of the artwork. [mehr]

Folds, Flesh, and Fruit - The Touch of Grace in Paintings of Chardin and Boucher

How can art find ways to represent the undefinable "je ne sais quoi" of the bodily and moral ideal of Grace? The paper deals with two French artists as different as Jean Siméon Chardin and François Boucher who satisfied very different tastes of art in the 18th century. [mehr]

Sainthood and Citizenship in Seventeenth-Century Peru: The Feast of Beatification of Rose of Lima

Roughly two years after Rose of Lima was beatified (1669), the Peruvian Dominican Order, asked Juan Meléndez, the Chronicler of the Order, to write a description of the festivities with which the City of the Kings celebrated the promotion to sainthood of her most ilustrious child. Meléndez saved no rhetorical effort to stress the importance of the celebrations that took place in 1668 and 1669. [mehr]

On Edible Images: Artefacts and the Constitution of Community

There was a time - but is it just over? - when some images were not just looked at, but eaten. Produced to be swallowed, they were consumed by the mouth rather than the eyes. This presentation will focus on this particular way of experiencing images, by examining the consumption of the edible artefacts (body paintings, eucharist, waffles, edible sculptures, figurative cakes) over the longue durée, and by highlighting the anthropological and cultural stakes that inform this specific practice.

Cities in Crisis: Emergency Measures in Architecture and Urbanism, 1400-1700

This interdisciplinary Study Day will focus on how early modern cities responded to or attempted to anticipate social or health crises by repurposing structures, constructing temporary shelters or buildings, or adapting urban spaces in the context of emergencies. These include, but are not limited to, disease outbreaks, displacement, migrations, wars, natural disasters, famines, etc. Over the centuries, these interventions have taken various forms, such as lazzaretti, temporary military barracks, makeshift refuges, and quarantine or segregation zones, among many others.

Continuare la città. Principi e tendenze nella ricerca architettonica ed urbanistica di una città moderna all'italiana, 1919-1945

Social change after WWI led to an accelerated change in the built environment. Within a broad stylistic scope of architectural and urban design projects, the structural 'DNA' of Italian historic cities was seen as a basic planning guideline. Historic paradigms determined not only trends in conservation but guided new approaches to architecture as well as urban and landscape design. [mehr]

La storia negata. Napoli nella storiografia artistica

"À Naples l'on n'aime que les bagatelles et les dorures." Il parere negativo di Gianlorenzo Bernini sulla propria città natale è caratteristico per la ricezione critica di Napoli. Già Jacob Burckhardt parlava con scetticismo dell'amore per il fasto (Prunkliebe) dei partenopei. [mehr]

Berühmte 'Mütter', ungleiche 'Schwestern' - sprechende Verwandtschaften zwischen Bildern weiblicher Exempla in der Frühen Neuzeit

In einer frühneuzeitlichen Kultur der variierten Formeln und Zitate sticht dennoch die frappierende Ähnlichkeit zwischen bestimmten exemplarischen Frauenfiguren heraus. Lucretia und Kleopatra sind dafür ein paradigmatischer Fall. Vom frühen 16. Jahrhundert bis zum Hochbarock finden sich gerade zwischen diesen immer wieder frappierende Zwillingsbildungen, die nicht recht zu ihrer disparaten Bewertung passen wollen. [mehr]

Viewing on the Move - The Roving Eye of Early Modern Travelers

As complex systems with multiple institutional, civic, and religious topographies, early modern cities presented the foreigner with a beguiling series of mysteries. What tools, therefore, were available for gaining some kind of understanding of a foreign society that would allow travelers to connect their experience to home? [mehr]

Diligenza - Liniengefüge in Zeichnungen Jacopo Bellinis

Bei der Frage nach dem Zusammenhang von Bild und Wissen wurde dem Medium der Zeichnung und besonders der Linie im vergangenen Jahrzehnt vermehrt Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. Im Vordergrund standen dabei meist Skizzen, denen aufgrund ihrer Expressivität und Dynamik in der Linienführung ein exploratives und epistemisches Potential zugesprochen wird. [mehr]

Maniera and Mannerisms: a Historiographic Paradigm of Cinquecento Art

The term "Mannerism" carries a fraught and contentious historiography that plays a significant role in shaping both the definition and scope of current scholarship. Formative studies by Jacob Burckhardt, Heinrich Wölfflin, Werner Weisbach, and Kurt Heinrich Busse imbued the term "Mannerism" with a pejorative connotation that effectively marginalized mid- to late-sixteenth century art.
