The Material Life of Things: Symposium

Friday 5 November 2010 15.00 – 19.00, Research Forum South Room

The Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN

Drawing together scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds, this workshop will offer a range of views and interpretations on the material transformation of art, from Paleolithic to Modernism, via seventeen-century China and nineteenth–century Iran. It considers the ways in which works of art as material objects are manipulated, re-made and unmade by different individuals, at different times, manifesting different social and cultural practices, shaping markets and demand, and influencing historical narratives.

All welcome but numbers are limited. Advance booking by 12 noon Tuesday 2 November is essential. Please contact: ResearchForumEvents@courtauld.ac.uk

Organised by Dr. Francesco Lucchini (The Courtauld Institute of Art)
