organized by
Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini (Lucca/Pistoia)

14-16 November 2014
COMPLESSO MONUMENTALE DI SAN MICHELETTO - Lucca
The Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini of Lucca is pleased to invite submissions of proposals for the symposium «Music and Figurative Arts in the Twentieth Century», to be held in Lucca, Complesso Monumentale di San Micheletto, from Friday 14 until Sunday 16 November 2014.
The relationship between music and figurative arts during the twentieth century is encoded in the links that exist between various composers and artists (such as Schönberg and Kandinsky, Stravinsky and Marino Marini or Picasso, and so forth), and particularly in the personal experiences of composers who produced graphic scores (namely Bussotti, Guaccero and Cage); the connections extend to installation art.
The present conference aims to explore this multifaceted world and will focus on artistic movements and political-sociological phenomena, including musical iconography associated with totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. The programme committee encourages submissions within the following areas, although other topics are also welcome:
· The relationship between composers and artists, painters and sculptors
· Concurrence of musical and artistic aestethics in the twentieth century
· Futurists and “The Painting of Sounds, Noises and Smells”
· Musical iconography of totalitarian regimes
· Music, visual arts and institutions
· Iconography and the representation of time in music and the visual arts
· Rhythm, sound and silence in artistic creation
· Rhetoric and the figurative arts
· Musical notation as an artistic element
· Cage and visual art
· Sound spaces and the relationship with the musical architecture of Xenakis
· New artistic expression: installations, performances, and so forth.
