New Topographies of Modernism
Conference in cooperation with the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds
22 July – 23 July 2005
Emerging from the concerns of the exhibition ICESTORM, the international conference will discuss the increasing interest of contemporary art in the cultural legacy of modernism. How are the current historical recourses to specific aspects of the development of modernism to be understood? And what gestures and strategies of reference are deployed?
