In September 2005, the Freer Gallery of Art will hold the Third Forbes
Symposium on Scientific Research in the Field of Asian Art in Washington,
DC. The theme will be "Studies of the Sculptural Arts of Asia using
Scientific Methods", and will focus on the impact of scientific methods of
study on broader questions of a technical, historical, or art historical
nature.
Those interested in giving a paper are invited to submit an abstract
(approximately 200 words) on original, previously unpublished research by 31
January 2005. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 15 March 2005.
Speakers should plan a 25-minute presentation and submit a manuscript
(3000-4000 words) at the time of the symposium. Funding to offset speakers'
travel expenses will be available.
