Dear ARLIS members,
I would like to share with you the announcement of the upcoming annual Clark
conference:
The Art Historian
National Traditions and Institutional Practices
A Clark Conference
May 3-4, 2002
Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
Williamstown, Massachusetts
The Art Historian: National Traditions and Institutional Practices will
discuss the formation and professionalization of the art historian within
different national traditions and historical settings. Despite its origin in
European models, the practice of art history in the United States has
evolved into protocols distinct from those of, for example, Germany, France,
England, and the Netherlands. How might we characterize these disciplinary
geographies, in theory and practice, in the past and in the present? What
is the function of higher education in different national contexts? For
what roles in culture are art historians being prepared? To what extent
does professionialization encourage or delimit critical innovation? How
much, and what, can we learn from each other?
For registration and information, please phone 413 358 2303, ext. 324, or
