Call for Papers - First Annual Art and Philosophy Conference at
Stony Brook Manhattan:
March 28 - 29, 2008
The Masters in Art and Philosophy Program at Stony Brook University
in Manhattan studies the intersections of art and theory. In our
efforts to further the dialogue between traditionally disparate
fields of study, we offer this conference as an interdisciplinary
event. We welcome participants from a variety of fields and media to
respond to our inaugural theme: veils
Desiring dialogue between the worlds of art and philosophy, this
conference investigates the relationship between creative activity
and theoretical endeavor as they bear upon the notion of veils.
Invoking "veils," we gesture toward perception and materialization
through method, space and presence, hiddenness, mechanism,
expressivity, feeling, purpose and meaning. How are these elements
significant in the movement of art and philosophy? How do different
media map the horizon of truth in art? Are art and theory more or
less veiled in relation to each other? Does contemporary culture
stand in need of greater or fewer, more opaque or more transparent
veils? How does engaging the trope of veils contribute to the
dialogue between aesthetic theory, artistic practice, and art
criticism?
These questions are not exhaustive, but they are intended to provoke
thought about the theme of veils as it bears on the dynamic
relationship of art and theory. Where these fields converge, we open
our inquiry.
