Description
Convenors: Dr Alexander Marr (University of Cambridge), Prof. Horst Bredekamp (Humboldt University), Dr Christopher Heuer (Clark Art Institute), Dr Pablo Schneider (Humboldt University).
This workshop was part of the Epistemic Images in Early Modernity Research Project, funded by the Cambridge-DAAD Research Hub and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. The project seeks to examine how and why images came to play such a decisive role in the production of new knowledge in early modernity. It will do so by bringing together German and Anglophone scholars from art history, Bildwissenschaft, and history of science in a series of workshops to be held in Cambridge, Berlin and Williamstown.
Speakers: Dr Shira Brisman (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Prof. Christine Goettler (Bern University, Switzerland), Dr Stefan Hanß (University of Cambridge), Dr Christopher Heuer (Clark Art Institute, Williamstown), Dr Christopher Johnson (Warburg Institute), Prof. Sachiko Kusukawa (Cambridge), Dr Stephanie Leitch (Florida State University), Dr Alexander Marr (Cambridge), Dr Elizabeth Petcu (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München), Dr Jennifer Rampling (Princeton University), Prof. Ulinka Rublack (Cambridge), Dr Pablo Schneider (Humboldt University, Berlin), Dr Elke Werner (Free University, Berlin).
The programme for this event is available here.
Supported by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH), DAAD-University of Cambridge Research Hub for German Studies with funds from the German Federal Foreign Office (FFO) and The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
