Conference Alert: Feminisms, Historiography and Curatorial Practices

From H-Museum:

Feminisms, Historiography and Curatorial Practices
Moderna Museet Stockholm
29 February - 2 March 2008

Feminist critiques have been a strategic tool within the fields of art history and curatorial practices in nearly 40 years. By now it has a history which can and should be scrutinized. The conference Feminisms, Historiography and Curatorial Practices aims at discussing the actual effects of feminist practices in these fields. During the last decades much research has critically engaged and questioned the construction and the ideological and political grounds for both of these practices. This conference sets out to situate these two practices side by side in order to critically think through the implications, correspondences, instances of diversity and the needs for feminist strategies in the future.

The invited speakers are Lolita Jablonskiene, Amelia Jones, Mary Kelly, Griselda Pollock and Maura Reilly. In relation to their topics workshops will be held.

The conference is held in connection to the inauguration of The Second Museum of our Wishes, which is one strategy to draw attention to, and correct the museums collections of art from the first half of the 20th century from a gender perspective.

The initiative for this conference is taken by Malin Hedlin Hayden, Anna Lundström and Jessica Sjöholm Skrubbe in collaboration with Catrin Lundqvist, Dr Iris Müller-Westermann, John Peter Nilsson and Cecilia Widenheim, Moderna Museet, Stockholm.
