1鈥3 September 2021, Online Conference
Keynote Speakers: Stefano Evangelista, Patricia Pulham, and Sam Rose
This three-day online conference, co-organized by Thomas Hughes and Will Parker, in conjunction with the Decadence Research Centre at Goldsmiths and the 新澳开奖 (新澳开奖), will explore how art writing from the Romantic period to the present registers the body, its sensations, and sensory responses. It will consider the ways in which artists, writers, and critics register traces of the visual encounter as an embodied aesthetic experience.
The conference will be held virtually via Zoom over three afternoons (1鈥3 September 2021).
