In collaboration with the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Ars
Graphica is organising a symposium for young scholars and
curators/conservators dedicated to the graphic arts held in cultural
institutions.

The symposium will focus on research related to prints and drawings
(from the 15th century to the present) as objects of study and on
curatorial/conservative duties.  We want to reflect on the various
challenges in the field of cataloguing, curating and exhibiting
graphic heritage.  Which are the current and specific issues of
works of art on paper?

We welcome proposals from all areas of relevance to this topic,
including but not limited to:

    Studying works on paper (past and present): tendencies, methods
    and instruments

    Curating, cataloguing and exhibiting drawings, prints and plates

    Graphic arts in conservation

    Professional prospects in the field of graphic arts: reflections
    and experiences

A short abstract (200-300 words) together with a brief CV should be
sent to ars.graphica<-at->gmx<.>ch by January 30, 2016.  We look forward to
20-minute papers.  Presenters will have to be members of Ars
Graphica by the time of the symposium.

The conference will be held in Italian and English.

Unfortunately, Ars Graphica will not be able to cover the speakers'
travel and stay costs.

The symposium is the second event of a two-part series held in
collaboration with the Association of Print Scholars.  The series,
entitled "New Impressions: Emerging Research on Prints," aims to
shed light on innovative research currently being completed around
the globe about the graphic arts.  The first part of the series,
sponsored by APS, took place on November 7, 2015 at Hunter College
in New York.
