Workshop | Italy in China: Beijing’s Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan
From the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome:
Italy in China: The Western Buildings in the Old Summer Palace Yuanmingyuan in Beijing
Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max Planck Institute for Art History, Rome, 25 March 2014
The Beijing Tsinghua Institute for Digitization THID (Tsinghua University Beijing) and the Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max Planck Institute for Art History, Rome are conducting collaborative research devoted to the now ruinous Western Buildings that are part of the Old Summer Palace Yuanmingyuan in Beijing, and which were planned and erected around 1750 by Italian/French Jesuits and Chinese architects and craftsmen. The aim of the project is to comprehensively investigate and understand the Western Buildings and to analytically visualise them in virtual 3D-models. The project examines the Sino-Western experience in the planning and construction processes with the mutual exchange of techniques and methods, concepts and models, and explores the interaction between Chinese and Western conceptions of architecture, gardens, fountains, construction and hydraulic technologies. The workshop aims to present this collaboration project to a wider audience and to give a report on the current state of the work in progress.

Exhibition Lecture, Threads of Feeling
Friday, 21 March, 5:00, Hennage Auditorium, Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg
John STYLES, University of Hertfordshire, “Threads of Feeling: Foundlings, Philanthropy, and Textiles in Eighteenth-Century London”
When mothers left babies at London’s Foundling Hospital in the mid- eighteenth century, the Hospital often retained a small object as a means of identification, usually a piece of fabric. These swatches of fabric now form Britain’s largest collection of everyday textiles from the eighteenth century. They include the whole range of fabrics worn by ordinary women, along with ribbons, embroidery, and even baby clothes. Each scrap of fabric reflects the lives of an infant child and its absent parent. Collectively, they comprise a poignant, elegiac materialization of separation and loss. The lecture explains why the Foundling Hospital amassed these textiles and reflects on the capacity of such objects to perform emotional work. The exhibition Threads of Feeling, curated by John Styles, is at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, in the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg. Limited numbers, pre-registration required. Register at the ASECS Registration Desk by 4:00.

Williamsburg Walking Tour, 1774
Saturday, 22 March, 3:45–5:15, departing from lobby of Colonial Williamsburg Conference Center
Led by William WARNER, University of California, Santa Barbara
This tour will highlight the events in Williamsburg Virginia between May 25th and June 1st, 1774, in the wake of news of the Boston Port Bill, which closed down Boston harbor as punishment for the destruction of the Tea in Boston Harbor the previous winter. The tour will begin at the Colonial Williamsburg Conference Center. You don’t need Williamsburg tickets because we will be walking by the outsides of key sites and buildings (not taking tours within them). We will use a time-line of key events, a map (provided by the tour guide, Professor Warner), as well as handouts from which participants will be able to read (perhaps even aloud!). The goal is to bring together place and political speech/writing so that we can consider how they work together to mediate the American Crisis during one week of 1774 in Williamsburg.
Conference | Enlightened Monarchs: Art at Court
From the conference programme:
Enlightened Monarchs: Art at Court in the Eighteenth Century
The Wallace Collection, London, 7 May 2014
To commemorate the 300th anniversary of George I’s accession to the British throne in 1714, Royal Collection Trust, the Wallace Collection and the Society for Court Studies are organising a study day dedicated to the often overlooked art patronage of the first two Georges and their families. In addition to investigating official commissions and personal taste, it will explore differences and similarities between the arts at court in Britain, Prussia, France and Spain in the Age of Enlightenment. The day will conclude with a private view of The First Georgians: Art & Monarchy 1714–1760 and a glass of wine at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. Tickets: £35. Includes refreshments and exhibition entry at The Queen’s Gallery, excludes lunch.

Conference | The Global Lowlands
From Brown:
The Global Lowlands in the Early Modern Period, 1300–1800
Dutch and Flemish History and Culture in a Worldwide Perspective
Brown University, 4–5 April 2014
During the early modern period the Lowlands became an entrepôt for global exchanges. They connected outwards to every part of the globe through trade, colonization, expanded knowledge, material culture, and consumption. Antwerp during the sixteenth century, and Amsterdam during the seventeenth century were the first modern cities to dominate world trade and commerce. The Lowlands attracted merchants, immigrants, and visitors while importing and redistributing a vast new array of goods and information, not only effecting the culture, art, and sciences of the Lowlands but touching the lives of many other people, from New Amsterdam and Brazil to Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, Japan, and elsewhere. This conference focuses on the Lowlands as an example of how globalization is affecting Renaissance and Early Modern Studies.
Sponsored by Brown University, the Pembroke Center, the History Department, the program in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, department of the History of Art & Architecture and the John Carter Brown Library. Pre-registration required: click here.

Conference | Russian Art: Exhibitions, Collections, and Archives
From the conference programme:
Exhibit A: Russian Art | Exhibitions, Collections, and Archives
The Courtauld Institute of Art, London, 21–22 March 2014
Exhibit A: Russian Art | Exhibitions, Collections and Archives, is the second conference in an on-going collaborative project between Moscow Lomonosov State University and the Cambridge Courtauld Russian Art Centre (CCRAC). Speakers will explore contemporary and historical practices of exhibiting and collecting Russian art and the potential of collections, exhibitions and documentary archives as important material resources and objects of study in their own right. The conference is also intended as a forum through which to showcase important but less familiar collections of Russian art and documentary material located inside and outside of Russia. It is conceived without chronological boundaries, and papers will address topics ranging from the earliest instances of collecting, exhibiting and writing about Russian art to contemporary practice in these three areas.
Organised by Natalia Budanova (The Courtauld Institute of Art) and Jenn Brewin (University of Cambridge) in collaboration with Moscow Lomonosov State University and the Cambridge Courtauld Russian Art Centre (CCRAC), with additional support from the Russian Art World (РХМ).
Ticket/entry details: £25 (£15 students, Courtauld staff/students and concessions) Book online or send a cheque made payable to ‘The Courtauld Institute of Art’ to: Research Forum Events Co-ordinator, Research Forum, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN, stating ‘CCRAC conference’.

Conference | Maritime Culture in the Age of J. M. W. Turner
Next month at Greenwich:
Maritime Culture and Britain in the Age of J.M.W. Turner
Royal Museums Greenwich, London, 21–22 March 2014
Registration due by 20 March 2014
J.M.W. Turner, The Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805, 1822–24, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London
To coincide with a major exhibition of the work of J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851), Royal Museums Greenwich is hosting an interdisciplinary conference exploring the cultural impact of the sea in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Turner and the Sea is the first full-scale examination of the artist’s lifelong preoccupation with the sea, and features many of his most celebrated works, from his transformative Academy paintings of the late 1790s and early 1800s to the unfinished, experimental seascapes he produced towards the end of his life. The exhibition offers the opportunity to discover the myriad ways in which Turner responded to the maritime art—past and contemporary—while challenging his audiences with new ways of representing the sea. The conference aims to locate Turner’s seascapes within a broader maritime context, and explore the cultural and political significance of the sea during his lifetime.
Conference fee: £100 (concessionary rate £90). Including Friday evening reception and private view of the Turner and the Sea exhibition. To book tickets contact Lizelle de Jager on 020 8312 6716, research@rmg.co.uk.

View: A Festival of Art History
London’s View: A Festival of Art History (7–9 February 2014) is the latest example of events that slip by me. For anyone interested, the good news is that events were filmed and could be available online in the near future. Plans are also underway for 2015. Here’s the coverage from Apollo Magazine’s blog, The Muse Room. -CH
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
Digby Warde-Aldam, “Great View: The UK’s First Art History Festival,” The Muse Room from Apollo Magazine (19 February 2014).
The venue is a large room in London’s Institut français, its windows looking out over the crazed Victorian skyline of South Kensington. French academic Frédéric Ogée looks slightly taken aback by the crowd, a mix of all ages that has just filled up every available seat—indeed, staff are starting to turn away latecomers to the lecture he is about to give, a fascinating half-hour examination of ‘Englishness’ in English art. At the end of the talk, Ogée is forced to cut short the barrage of questions from the audience in order to clear the room for the next speaker on the bill of the Institut’s View Festival.
The public interest in the talk shouldn’t really be surprising. The View, which had its first edition this month, is Britain’s first art history festival—which, taking into account the fact that the UK has festivals dedicated to everything from Heavy Metal to knitting comes as something of a surprise. Given London’s position as a global art capital, it seems bizarre that nothing like this has ever taken place in the city before. . .

Colloque | The Artist and the Antiquary
From the programme:
L’artiste et l’antiquaire: L’étude savante de l’antique
et son imaginaire à l’époque moderne, XVIe–XVIIIe siècles
Institut national d’histoire de l’art, Paris, 6–7 March 2014
Francesco Bianchini, Camera Ed Inscrizioni Sepulcrali (1727)
L’ambition de ce colloque, dont le sujet se situe à la croisée de l’archéologie et de l’histoire de l’art, est d’analyser les formes de collaborations savantes entre les « antiquaires » et les artistes à l’époque moderne. De la Renaissance à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, la recherche savante sur les civilisations antiques à partir de leurs différents vestiges, écrits et matériels, fut aussi bien le fait de grands lettrés que celui de nombreux artistes et praticiens. Si les hommes de lettres eurent souvent besoin de dessinateurs pour les seconder dans leur travail de documentation des objets et des sites, ceux-ci se sont révélés à l’occasion d’excellents collaborateurs, voire même de fins connaisseurs de l’Antiquité classique qui ont contribué directement à la construction de la discipline.
Le colloque réunira des spécialistes de tous horizons – archéologues, historiens de l’art antique et moderne, historiens de l’archéologie – en vue d’une réflexion commune sur la recherche antiquaire, ses méthodes et ses enjeux, ainsi que sur la fécondité de ces études sur les plans artistique et culturel. Les travaux mettront l’accent sur les réseaux socio-professionnels, sur les pratiques de documentation et l’illustration des traités, ainsi que sur les relations entre savoir et invention, érudition antiquaire et création artistique.

Conference | Objects, Images, and Texts: Pope and Roubiliac
Objects, Images, and Texts: Pope, Roubiliac, and Representations of Authorship
Yale Center for British Art, 21–22 February 2014
Photographer unknown, William Kurtz Wimsatt, ca 1961,
© National Portrait Gallery, London
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
This two-day international conference explores the relationship between authorship and the visual arts in the eighteenth century, focusing on the poet Alexander Pope. Building on the work of Yale scholar W. K. Wimsatt, an interdisciplinary panel of speakers will situate Pope’s portraits, both sculpted and painted, within the framework
of debates about his often ambiguous modes of authorial self-presentation involving the design of his printed texts as well as the complexities of the verse itself. The conference coincides with the Center’s exhibition Fame and Friendship: Pope, Roubiliac, and the Portrait Bust in Eighteenth-Century Britain, which focuses on a series of busts of Pope made by the French émigré sculptor Louis François Roubiliac. The conference is free and open to the public. Advance registration is recommended. Register online through February 20. On-site registration will be available at the event.
