Grinling Gibbons and the Story of Carving
Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 24–25 June 2022

Organized by Jenny Saunt, Kira d’Alburquerque, and Ada de Wit

Grinling Gibbons (1648–1721) is the most celebrated carver in British history. His closely observed depictions of full-bodied natural forms, executed in hyperreal detail, captivated audiences of his own time as much as they captivate audiences today. But how much is really known about this man, his work, and its implications in terms of the way we think about carving now? As part of the year-long Gibbons tercentenary celebrations of 2021/22, the V&A is hosting a two-day conference to explore the story of Gibbons and to investigate broader themes around the subject of carving in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Britain and Europe. On day one of the conference, an invited panel of speakers will present the latest research on Grinling Gibbons and his work. On the second day, international scholars, across disciplines, will consider the broader story of carving in this period, exploring themes of design, production, materials, and techniques, and how these interacted to create the type of physical forms so recognizable as the product of Gibbons’s world. Registration £15–35.

Thinking Europe Visually
Centre IMAGO / École normale supérieure, Paris / Musée du Jeu de Paume, Paris, 9–10 June 2022

“If I had to do it again, I would start with culture.” This statement, often erroneously attributed to Jean Monnet, suggests that in the absence of a shared culture, Europe as a political and economic construct remains nothing but a hollow shell. This conference aims to question the disillusioned position which holds that there is no meaningful common European culture, and to do so through images. One way to visualize the potential existence and limits of a European cultural base is indeed to trace the circulation of images—be they works of art, press images, posters, photographs, or even motifs and patterns—in the region, from antiquity through to the present day. What are the images that have circulated most widely in Europe? Are they specific to Europe or are they already globalized? What was their visual and symbolic impact? Is there a ‘visual culture’ specific to Europe and, if so, what might be its distinctive ‘patterns’?

The symposium will take place on June 9 and 10, 2022 in Paris at the Ecole normale supérieure, 45 rue d’Ulm. It is hosted by European Excellence Center Jean Monnet IMAGO (ENS), in collaboration with the project VISUAL CONTAGIONS at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). If is supported by the European agency Erasmus + and by the Swiss national Fund for research.

The symposium is also structured around three exhibitions:
• Contagions visuelles, an exhibition for the Espace de Création numérique du Jeu de Paume (10 May — 31 December 2022, curated by Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel with Nicola Carboni).
• Ces images qui ont fait l’Europe / Those Images That Made Europe, a digital exhibition hosted by Europeana.eu (forthcoming June 2022)
• Correspondances, a ‘real’ exhibition at the University of Geneva (16–30 May 2022) on the circulation of images, with works and texts by students from the chair in digital humanities at UNIGE (Prof. Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel) and the Atelier de Photographie at the Beaux-Arts de Paris led by Marie José Burki.

Organisation
• Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, Professeure à l’université de Genève, chaire des humanités numériques
• Léa Saint-Raymond, postdoctorante, ENS-PSL / IMAGO
• Centre d’excellence Jean Monnet IMAGO, ENS-PSL (https://www.imago.ens.fr), en partenariat avec le projet FNS VISUAL CONTAGIONS, Université de Genève (https://visualcontagions.unige.ch)

Lunches, Excursions, and Late-Breaking Special Sessions
Friday, 1:00–3:15
Use this time to explore Baltimore’s eighteenth-century history, connect with colleagues, or just take a breather amid our busy agenda!
Excursions: Except when noted, these are suggestions for members to organize on their own.
• Guide to Indigenous Baltimore (self-guided walking tour created by American University faculty member, Elizabeth Rule)
• Baltimore African American Heritage Walking Tour (self-guided walking tour)
• Baltimore Black History Tour (guided walking tour run by Black-owned business, I Love Baltimore Personal Tours)
• Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture
• Not exactly an excursion: but this an interesting digital resource: Visualizing Early Baltimore (batch of digital resources at UMBC, including BEARINGS of Baltimore, ca. 1815, an interactive 3D map that allows overlay of contemporary onto 1815 Baltimore)
• Walters Art Museum Guided Tour (capacity limited to 30; already full). On this two-stop private tour for ASECS members at the Walters Art Museum, Joaneath Spicer, the James A. Murnaghan Curator of European Renaissance and Baroque Art, will talk about two subjects for which she is well known: first, the presence and representation of Africans in Europe, specifically the museum’s newly acquired portrait of an African prince at the court of Louis XIV; and second, the Chamber of Wonders and its shifting character from the early 1600s to the 1700s.

Friday, 3:30–6:00
HECAA member Brittany Luberda, Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts at the Baltimore Museum of Art, has been kind enough to organize a HECAA-only tour of the museum’s eighteenth-century collections on Friday afternoon.

The tours are followed by an informal social hour at the museum bar starting at 5:00. Space is limited, so advanced registration for this event is required (see the HECAA email for details).

Saturday, 11:30–12:30, Key 7 & 8
In this talk, Jennifer Morgan uses the history of three Black women from the sixteenth and seventeenth century to explore questions of methodology and evidence in the early history of the Black Atlantic. Through evidence from visual art, law, and commerce Morgan considers the challenges and possibilities of crafting a social historical study of women whose voices are so often absent from the archival record but whose lives and perspectives have proven to be essential for comprehending the origins of racial capitalism.
