LIBRERIA RINASCITA, Ascoli Piceno - MOTION: TRANSFORMATION. 35TH CONGRESS OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE HIST di FAIETTI M. (CUR.); WOLF G. (CUR.)

<DescrizioneEstesa>The 35th CIHA World Congress presents a unique experiment: for the first time a CIHA Congress takes place in two different locations and in two different moments: in Florence, Italy, 1-6 September 2019, and in São Paulo, Brazil, January 2022. The whole Congress is dedicated to the general topic of MOTION and invites the international community of scholars to discuss fundamental aspects of art and architecture under this heading in a broad transcultural perspective, from earliest times to the present. Transformation is at the base of artistic creation, it means the entanglement of materials, techniques and forms, it involves the lives or biographies of artefacts, and in fact it concerns their material, environmental, institutional, social, political, and religious transformations over time and regarding all kinds of itineraries. To explore this, nine sections have been created: 1) The Divine Artist; 2) Matter and Materiality: from removal to re-enactment; 3) Art and Nature; 4) Art and Religions; 5) Sign and Writing; 6) The Eye and the Hand: from the project to the product; 7) Artist, Power, Public; 8) Artists, Critics, and Viewers: overlapping of roles?; 9) the Italo-Brazilian co-curated section "Voyage". "Motion" embraces all of that in all scales and more than that, as will be discussed in São Paulo. It also refers to the emotional sphere and the inner turmoil of feelings, that may be taken into account.
