Workshop One: “Visual Storytelling: Examples from Italy”
Wednesday, 2nd March 2016, 3pm-7.30pm
Institute of Advanced Studies University College London South Wing, Room G09 Gower Street, London
Organized by the AHRC-funded research project Interdisciplinary Italy 1900-2020: Interart/Intermedia and hosted by the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies, this multidisciplinary symposium explores the rich diversity of visual and verbal art in contemporary Italy. We are delighted to welcome the illustrator and painter Tullio Pericoli, one of Italy’s most distinguished contemporary artists, who will speak, in conversation with Prof. Simona Corso (Roma Tre), about how literature has shaped his artistic imagination. Interartistic creativity will be envisaged as a constantly changing, dynamic field of investigation, which has been, and continues to be, a driving force of modern art. We will begin with a plenary lecture by the poet and scholar Prof. Jan Baetens Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Leuven and a leading authority on literature and the visual arts. The afternoon will end with a roundtable, chaired by Dr Florian Mussgnug (UCL), which will include contributions by Dr Pierpaolo Antonello (Cambridge), Prof. Timothy Mathews (UCL) and Dr Giuliana Pieri (Royal Holloway).
