SAH Latrobe Chapter Biennial Symposium: Art in Architecture, Architecture in Art
March 21-22, 2015 |
The 11th Biennial Symposium organized by the Latrobe Chapter focuses on the relationship between art and architecture as it pertains to the built environment of greater Washington DC. How does architecture interact with other artistic media, such as painting, sculpture, drawing, posters, film, and performance? The presented research attends to close observation and analysis of images, objects, structures, and buildings within specific social, economic, political, and technological contexts. Through individual case studies drawn from the city of Washington DC, the symposium aims to provide a better theoretical understanding of the complex interactions between art and architecture. On Saturday, March 21, twelve scholars present their research proposing diverse approaches to framing the relationship between art and architecture. The papers are grouped in three thematic sessions, focusing respectively on artworks created for specific architectural settings, on architectural structures as objects of art, and on the representation and imagination of architecture through artistic means.
On Sunday, March 22, participants will take a bus tour to visit murals and other local sites related to the symposium theme. Organized in collaboration with the DC Preservation League and the Catholic University of America, School of Architecture and Planning
Registration deadline: March 8, 2015 For additional information and registration visit www.latrobechaptersah.org.
