Subject: Symposium on technology of late medieval Cologne painting
"Let the Material Talk: Technology of Late Medieval Cologne Painting in Context" International Symposium Wallraf-Richartz-Museum and Fondation Corboud, Cologne 24 -26 November 2011 We would like to call your attention to an international Symposium "Let the Material Talk: Technology of Late Medieval Cologne Painting in Context " (24-26 November 2011), held at the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum and Fondation Corboud in Cologne. The congress will be based on the latest research results gained in the context of a joint project involving the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum and Fondation Corboud (Cologne) on the one hand and the Bayerische Staatsgemaldesammlungen and Doerner Institut (Munich) on the other. The idea of the symposium is to present the results of the project and the current state of research on the technology of late medieval painting in Cologne, with contributions from invited experts, who will place these results in the context of allied art genres and neighbouring regions. The symposium will be held in German and English. All the contributions will be simultaneously interpreted into English or German as the case may be. Information and registration: <URL:http://www.wallraf.museum/index.php?id=244&L=1> and <URL:http://www.doernerinstitut.de> Call for Posters: During the symposium a limited number of posters may be presented. For these contributions poster walls of the size 62 cm (width) x 125 cm (height) will be provided (printing in DIN A1 format recommended). We ask for submission of poster contributions until 31 August comprising title, authors and an abstract of 1/2 page maximum.
