Forthcoming Tenth Graduate Workshop in Bremen

Forthcoming Tenth Graduate Workshop in Bremen

Sep 3, 2024 | event, graduate workshop, news, Russian Art

We would like to draw your attention to the forthcoming tenth anniversary workshop of the Russian(?) Art & Culture Group, which will be held at Constructor University in Bremen on September 27 and 28, 2024.

The ongoing Russian war against Ukraine has caused a deep crisis of scholarship. Taking this as a point of departure, the goal of the tenth workshop of the Russian(?) Art & Culture Group is to find appropriate terms, approaches, and strategies that offer new insights into Imperial Russian and Soviet art and culture in order to contribute to the ongoing debates regarding the future of scholarship in this field of research.

We are already looking forward to interesting presentations, the keynote talk by Konstantin Akinsha on The History of Art in the Shadow of War: On the Necessity of Revising the Narrative of Russian/Soviet Modernism and the roundtable discussion focussing on the question What Is “Russian” Art and Culture? with Louise Hardiman, Maria Silina, and Konstantin Akinsha. See program and booklet for more details.

Should you be insterested in participating, please register by September 22, 2024, at workshop@russian-art.net.

The restrictions due to COVID-19 also affected the forthcoming graduate workshop of the Russian Art & Culture Group…

Unfortunately, the collaboration with the Internationales Kolleg Morphomata at Cologne University was no longer an option, since the university cancelled all on-site events until October.

We did our best to find an alternative venue, since networking with real people is one of the main goals of our workshop series and everyone is attending so many online events nowadays.

Therefore, we are delighted to announce that the forthcoming workshop with the topic The Problem of Religious Art in Modernity. Uses and Abuses of the Icon in Russia will be held in Vienna. We are already very thankful to our colleagues of the “Eurasia in Global Dialogue” Program at the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) who were open to our collaboration and hosting our – now joined – event.

The new date of the workshop is
October 15 and 16, 2020.

Luckily, Professor George Pattison from Glasgow is still able to be our keynote speaker. Furthermore, we are looking forward to the presentations by Alexei Lidov, Oleg Tarasov, and Maria Taroutina, among others.

In advance hindsight, we are also planning to arrange a remote access to the workshop’s presentations.

We will keep you updated!
