The University of Florida’s Society of Art History Graduates is currently accepting abstracts for twenty-minute papers on the theme, “Museum as Archive: Archive as Museum,” to be presented at this year’s graduate art history symposium scheduled for March 21, 2003. Areas of inquiry might include the ways in which changing criteria for art making and the proliferation of new media have affected museums and archives as institutions; the manner in which objects are stored and displayed in those sites; the problems confronting traditional spaces in the context of changing art practices; the transformation of collecting practices within modern museums that must deal with nontraditional media; and the implications of these developments for the disciplines of art, art history, and museum studies. Graduate students in all disciplines are invited to submit abstracts, along with a C.V., to:
Charles H. Meyer, president Society of Art History Graduates School of Art and Art History University of Florida PO Box 115801 Gainesville, FL 32611-5801 Or e-mail submissions to: meyerc@ufl.edu.
Deadline for submissions: February 14, 2003
