Barcelona University, Open University of Catalonia, HANGAR 11Th-12th December, 2014 Faculty of Art History, Universitat de Barcelona c/ Montalegre 6-8, 08001 Barcelona ART MATTERS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2014 (AMIC2014) Organized by the University of Barcelona (UB), the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) and HANGAR, Centre for Arts Production and Research. 11th-12th December, 2014 at the Faculty of Art History (UB). c/ Montalegre 6-8. 08001 Barcelona The materials and technologies of contemporary art invite us to reconsider, not only the role that these play in the articulation of artistic practices, but also the theoretical frameworks that demonstrate the role of the materiality itself inside Art History. These premises involve new methodological challenges and important epistemological transformations in the examination of art; challenges that must be analysed, discussed and contrasted with the long and fertile tradition of art studies. Fundamental problems such as the distribution of the agencies involved in the investigation and the artistic practice, the lines of temporal causality, the inter-connection between materialities and discoursivities, the role of the technology and the society, the spatiality and location of the art, gain relevance from the suggested challenges. Art Matters International Conference 2014 gives space for those research matters that, coming from the academy and the professional practice, rebuild the relation between art and its materiality: contributions focused on theoretical, methodological and epistemological reconsiderations and, specially, empirical studies centered on art routines and infrastructures. Perspectives such as Media Archaeology, the Actor-Network Theory or the New Materialisms contribute decisively to the possibility of blurring or even erasing preconceived ontological distinctions –inoperative today-, and traditionally supported by the framework of our modernity. We are alluding to established dichotomies such as subject/object, matter/discourse, theory/practice, social/ technological, expert/non-expert that lay out important onto-epistemic challenges to overcome. The interest of the congress is precisely to connect these new perspectives with the tradition of history, theory and art practice, starting always from both the reflection and the experience with the routines, the infrastructures and the art fields. Topics for discussion: Researches about art infrastructures: museums, art galleries, centers of production and investigation, archives, exhibition and distribution displays, art market dynamics. Investigations about objects and artistic practices: new materials, technologies inside the art field, production processes, distribution, conservation and preservation of the art and the media, etc. Other art histories and narratives: “minor” or divergent histories, non linear narratives, emergency of novelties, relational temporality and spatiality, forgotten geographical areas, etc. Onto-epistemic and methodological art frameworks: human and non-human agency, relations between practice and theory, experts and non-experts, trans/inter/meta/non-disciplinarity, etc. PROGRAMME THURSDAY, 11th DECEMBER 9:00 – 9:30 Registration 9:30 – 10:00 Welcoming Speech Conference Chairs: Lourdes Cirlot (UB), Pau Alsina (UOC), Tere Badía (Hangar) 10:00 – 11:00 Keynote: Fernando Domínguez Rubio Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication, University California, San Diego Chair: Pau Alsina 11:00 – 11:30 Coffee break 12:00 – 13:30 SESSION A: Infrastructures for an unstable heritage Chair: Lara F.
