Annual Conference 1998
Identities
3 - 5 April 1998
Exeter
Organised by the Faculty of Arts and Education, University of Plymouth
This will be the first time the conference has been located in the west of England and we are organising a variety of trips to buildings and/or collections of historical interest that may be unfamiliar to the membership. Exeter is well-served by road (M5) and regular rail connections from London (Paddington or Waterloo) and the north of England (London 2.5 hours, Birmingham 3 hours by train).
Accommodation and conference facilities will be provided by the University of Exeter, which is a ten-minute walk from the centre of town.
The conference theme is Identities, by which we intend to signal their creation, maintenance or contestation in art, in art history, in museum and gallery display and in conservation and restoration. The academic sessions will address identities of race, class and gender, look at local, regional and national identities, explore the self and subjectivity, examine the ontology of works of art, architecture and design and analyse the place of authorship, schools and movements in the history of art.
