----------------------------Original message---------------------------- From: Helga Lasschuijt <[log in to unmask]> SEMINAR- 20th Century Art in Asian and Western Societies: The Development of Methodologies in Understanding Contemporary Art in its Context This seminar is an exchange between the Research-group 'Art and Material Culture', which is part of the Research-school CNWS (School of Asian, African and Amerindian Studies) at the University of Leiden (the Netherlands) and the Seminar fuer Orientalische Kunstegschichte at the University of Bonn (Germany). The concept of modern art (including fine art, performing arts, dance, music) in the 20th century is no longer viewed as just a `case of the West'. In this century, and more in particular after 1945, the art-world is confronted with an important modern art production which stems from the so-called `non-western' societies. How do Western scholars approach these art-forms? How do scholars, critics, recipients within these `non-western' cultures deal with their contemporary art? How are both related? Since the involved researchers spring from various disciplines (a/o Western and Non-Western Arthistory, Cultural Anthropology, and the various Studies of Languages and Cultures of Asia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Oceania) different, disciplinary-bound points of view will be discussed and exchanged, in order to come to a better understanding of the various approaches and a deeper insight into understanding art in its context and to discuss the possibility of an interdisciplinary theoretical frame-work. Place: University of Leiden, Central Facility Building, Room 011. Date: 28 and 29 May 1998, from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. Admission free. Registration: participants can register by writing a short note to the below mentioned address, or by sending an e-mail.
