AHRC RX-HISTORY OF ART CONFERENCE
FUTURES: Art, Architecture and Design Histories for the Twenty-First
Century
Kingston University, Knights Park, 1st March 2006
www.kingston.ac.uk/design/rx_conference
CALL FOR PAPERS & POSTERS
This AHRC funded one-day conference aims to bring together History of Art,
Design and Architecture doctoral candidates to engage and reflect upon
current research ideas and methods through presentations, panel
discussions and poster exhibition. The objective is to share new and
emergent knowledge in the areas of Art, Design and Architecture and to
identify key research approaches relevant to the field as a whole.
The RX-Research Exchange in History of Art network exists to enable the
exchange of information about research activities and research interests
amongst staff and postgraduate research students working in these areas in
the south of Britain. The network is a collaborative initiative between
the History of Art departments of eight universities, namely, Birmingham
University, Warwick University, Roehampton University, Reading University,
Oxford Brookes University, Southampton at Winchester University and
Kingston University.
Call for Papers
We invite proposals of around 300 words for 15-minute paper presentations
on the themes of Space, Object and Ideas. These themes can be interpreted
widely. ‘Space’ may refer to physical space, or the evocation or depiction
of space. ‘Object’ could discuss the artwork as object or objects depicted
within an image. ‘Ideas’ may incorporate methodological discussions or new
approaches pointing out for example how your work contributes to studies
in the field.
Call for Posters
We invite those students interested in attending the conference and who
are not presenting a paper, to submit a poster reflecting their research
work in any of the areas described in the call for papers. We want posters
to provide a quick, visual and engaging way of communicating research work
in progress while promoting informal discussion.
We will publish all accepted posters on the conference website and will
exhibit a selection of thirty posters on the day of the conference.
Posters should contain a mix of images and text (about 20% text, 40%
graphics and 40% empty space) expressing in a concise way important
aspects of research. You could use Word, Power Point, Photoshop or similar
software. The text should include:
· title and aims of research,
· research process & methodology,
· keywords and contact details (name, university, email address).
Hardcopy: A1 size matt-coated paper, 170 gms. Your institution may have
media/visual services available to design and print your poster.
Electronic file: It should be 300 dpi minimum resolution and a max of 10
MB.
