Dialogue II: Enlightenment and Art
Date: July 14th, 2011, 9am to 12pm
This forum is devoted to the Enlightenment and its relationship to art. The forum will focus in equal measure on particular aspects of the Enlightenment, its breaks and continuities in its relationship with the past, and on the role played by the public in the artistic process of this era. We also wish to explore what characterizes Enlightenment art above and beyond a merely chronological definition.
