Artists' Writings 1750-present.
Courtauld Institute of Art, London, 6-7 June 09.
This conference will ask what motivates artists to write (whether memoir, fiction or theory), how they view the relation between their visual and textual practice, and how they use writing to manipulate or challenge the public reception and critical interpretation of their work. It will demonstrate the extent and diversity of artists’ contributions to modern literature and criticism in various languages, and investigate how scholars interpret these texts: are they works of art in themselves or simply evidence about the artist’s life and craft? Do they conceal as much as they reveal? How has the role and perception of artists' writings changed over time? Proposals of max 300 words for 20 min papers to linda.goddard@courtauld.ac.uk by 15 Sept 08.
