]]> The conference ‘Sites of Cultural Agency: Creative Knowledge Production in the Arts and Humanities’, held at and in collaboration with the British School at Rome (BSR) examines the intimate link between material sites and creative knowledge production, with specific attention to the museum and the classroom. We will explore how spatial configurations produce meaning, and how critical, creative practice can inform and transform our understanding of space. Museum curators, visual artists, actors and scholars from the creative and applied humanities will share perspectives on the history and practice of display, interpretation, and object-based learning. We are particularly interested in exploring the role of interdisciplinary and interartistic practices in the museum and classroom space.

The conference is linked to the AHRC funded project Interdisciplinary Italy 1900-2020: Interart/Intermedia, and two themes in the BSR research strategy: Heritage Management and Sustainability, and History, Place and Imagination. It is jointly supported by the UCL Cities partnerships Programme in Rome.

]]> Dr Clodagh Brook is delivering the Friday Keynote at the ASMI Postgraduate Conference in Royal Holloway on 23rd July. Her talk focuses on the concept of “expansion” of the arts, a concept which was coined by Stan VanDer Beek (1927-1984) in the 1960s. She and Dr Emanuela Patti are currently working together on this concept in order to construct a frame for better understanding the relations between arts often seen to be rivals, such as video art and cinema. These arts are seen here not as opposed, but instead as extension. The questions which her talk presents are: can we meaningfully use the concept of expansion to talk about the relations between the arts in Italy? How can expansion be applied to the work of video artists (Studio Azzurro)? Does this change how we conceive of cinema’s identity? Does our own critical work needs to change as a result of thinking of cinema – and the arts more generally – as fluid rather than static and as expanded rather than oppositional?

]]> On 25th November 2016 at 2pm at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia, Clodagh Brook will be giving the keynote talk for the Conference, An Eye on Italy. This talk investigates how Italian cinema has collaborated with the arts, particular other visual arts, from the sixties through to our digital contemporaneity. Crossing boundaries between artistic disciplines has been variously described as “avant-garde”, “experimental”, “disruptive” even, for Roland Barthes, as “war”. However, by the 1960s, cinema was already a collaborative art, so was there still room for such experimentation? Where has cinema set its artistic boundaries? Are there players who defamiliarise the normality of cinema’s interartistic and intermedial collaboration? Taking mini case studies from Italy of the 1960s, 1980s and the 2010s, the talk focuses attention on individuals and groups who are actively engaged in disrupting boundaries and explores how institutions and technologies foster or hinder such disruption. In so doing, the talk will challenge and amend established ideas of cultural centres and peripheries.

Dr Brook will be giving a second talk at the conference in Australia, this time on, The Future of Italian Interdisciplinary and Visual Studies Teaching. This takes place on 26th November, 4.00-5.30pm
