CFP: ART AND RESILIENCE IN RESPONSE TO THE ASIAN CRISIS, 1997-1998


Art Journal,

Art and Resilience in Response to the Asian Crisis, 1997-1998
  

We are developing a special issue to be submitted to Art Journal, titled Art and Resilience in Response to the Asian Crisis, 1997–1998.

Between 1997 and 1998, a series of currency devaluations in East and Southeast Asia caused an economic crisis that led to the widespread reversal of billions of dollars in foreign investment across Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The financial and economic crisis became a multifaceted event which affected governance at all levels—regional, national, and even global—and produced social and political strife in many of the affected countries. For example, the upheaval in Indonesia weakened the Suharto government which had ruled for thirty years. Malaysia did not experience a change in government at the time, but the crisis resulted in protests, political reshuffling, and the emergence of the Reformasi movement. In South Korea, with elections a month away when the crisis struck, the government was unable to act decisively until the opposition party’s Kim Dae Jung was sworn in as president in February 1998. In Thailand, Prime Minister Yongchaiyudh was forced to resign after eleven months in office.

In response to the resulting social and political events in their countries, artists from East and Southeast Asia produced art works and exhibitions. In Malaysia, for instance, in 1998, the artists’ collective Artist Pro Activ (APA) organized the multidisciplinary arts festival APA Fest as a response to the volatile economic and sociopolitical conditions that erupted there. In Indonesia, an exhibition entitled Reformasi Indonesia! (2000) displayed “protest art” produced by twelve contemporary Indonesian artists, focusing on the turbulent period of reformasi. In Thailand, failed finance companies sold off art masterpieces they had collected before the crisis at reduced prices to help meet massive corporate debts. In South Korea, previously planned large exhibitions were canceled, but new alternative art spaces were established, filled with exhibitions by artists who had returned to their home country from Europe and America due to the crisis.

This Special Issue solicits papers that discuss national social and political responses to the Asian economic crisis in the context of art history and visual culture at large, including art and art history, performance art, film, and media studies. Broadly, it seeks papers on social and political responses to the Asian crisis in the arts and visual culture and its effect on the art market and the creative industry in general.

Papers for this Special Issue may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
  • The study of art and visual culture that expresses the concern with conflicts of national identity and community, cultural knowledge, power, and faith during the precarious times of the 1997–98 Asian crisis
  • How the multilayered crisis intensified or accelerated crucial developments in the arts and visual culture, including the larger scope of cultural and visual history
  • Artistic reactions to the political, social, and economic impact of the Asian financial crisis in terms of art-making, exhibition, creative production, networking, and even regional solidarity
  • How the Asian crisis affected art, visual art, and material culture through the art market and creative industries
Please submit inquiries, 300-word abstracts, and brief CVs to coeditors Sarena Abdullah (sarena.abdullah@gmail.com) and/or Suzie Kim (skim8@umw.edu) by November 20, 2021. Authors will be informed of the acceptance of their abstracts by December 15, 2021. Finished papers are due May 31, 2022, to be e-mailed to the coeditors above. Accepted articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words in length, including notes, and prepared according to Art Journal style requirements (see this link).

CFP: MEMORY AND VISUAL CULTURE IN 20TH AND 21ST C. EAST ASIA


Call for papers

Memory and Visual Culture in 20th and 21st c. East Asia. 


We are seeking chapter proposals for an edited volume titled Transposed Memory: Visual Sites of National Recollection in Twentieth and Twenty-first Century East Asia, originating from a 2021 College Art Association annual conference session of the same name.

In twentieth and twenty-first century East Asia the establishment of modern nations and the shared experiences of wars, political conflicts, the colonial period, and Cold War tensions, among other historical events, contributed to sites and images of memory as widely produced, reproduced, and circulated. These sites and images, commissioned and produced by diverse agents, played a central role in constructing national narratives and collective identities, controlling or mediating domestic and international politics, crystallizing and visualizing forgetting and loss into material forms, and sustaining, intervening in, and resisting collective memories.

In Transposed Memory we seek to foster cross-cultural dialogues on memory and to illuminate geographical and cultural dynamics in East Asia by inviting chapter contributions on the range of site markers and visual signs of memory produced in modern and contemporary East Asia, from the traditional forms of monument, memorial, and museum to more recent forms such as participatory memorials, counter-monuments, and contemporary artists’ critical responses to collective memories. We welcome work from a variety of approaches, looking at a wide geographic and temporal spread, and considering diverse mediums, visual forms, and topics of memory construction.

Potential chapter topics may include, but are not limited to, the following examples: How do monuments and memorials shape, institutionalize, and reconstruct collective memories and national identities? How do sites and images of memory undergo transformation and gain new social contexts with periodical and political changes? How do visual forms and materiality shape collective remembering and forgetting? What is the viewer’s engagement with and lived experiences of sites and images of memory? What role does memory have in visual culture and politics in East Asia? How does collective memory forge East Asian relations, represented by the recent “memory war”?


Proposals should be 250-300 words, accompanied by a CV. Chapters will be in the 6,000-8,000 word range. Please email proposals to ajmiller@sewanee.edu and eunyoung.park2@case.edu. The deadline for proposal submissions is June 1, 2021.


Edited by:

Alison J. Miller is Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of the South (Sewanee). She specializes in modern and contemporary Japanese art, images of the Japanese empress, and gender in visual culture.

Eunyoung Park is Assistant Professor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University. She specializes in contemporary Korean art, with a research focus on issues of identity, globalization, and contemporaneity.

CFP: PROVENANCE RESEARCH ON EAST ASIAN ART #3 WORKSHOP IN BERLIN


Workshop - Provenance Research on East Asian Art #3
(Berlin |  Nov 8-9, 2019)

The collecting of art and artefacts from East Asia has been in vogue in the Western world for hundreds of years with the forced opening of China, Japan and Korea from the mid-19th century onwards, creating a market boom that resulted in thousands of objects entering collections worldwide. China in particular, during the first three decades of the 20th century, became subject to the most intensive spate of collecting on the part of museum institutions and private collectors.
 


In the past 20 years, the movement of these objects and the circumstances of their translocation have been increasingly the focus of curators and scholars investigating purchases related to the politics and market mechanisms under the Nazi regime. Despite research and numerous projects, we still do not know enough about the destiny of significant private collections dispersed between 1933 and 1945, the acquisition policies of museums at this time and the key actors and institutions involved in the art market for East Asian art in the first half of the 20th century.
 


The current international debates around the handling of objects that found their way into museum collections in connection with the colonial period present new challenges for collecting history and provenance research. This includes the revaluation of historical contexts, the reconstruction of looted and displaced collections in East Asia and the layout of a legal or ethical framework to address these issues.
 


Since 2017, German scholars and museum professionals have been meeting annually in Berlin in order to discuss challenges in researching the provenance of objects originating from East Asia, present current projects and discover similarities in collecting practices and object biographies. During these meetings, a strong wish to connect with colleagues from Europe and abroad has been articulated.


This year’s workshop is open to international colleagues. It aims to create a platform for the exchange of ongoing research in the field and connect colleagues from around the world in a sustainable network.



We welcome papers focusing on the following topics: 
  • The translocations of objects from East Asia abroad during the colonial era;
  • Case studies related to objects or collections that have been unlawfully confiscated during the Nazi era;
  • Actors in the field of dealing and collecting the arts from East Asia that have influenced several museum collections;
  • Methods in researching the provenance of East Asian art.

Conference language is English.



The workshop will take place on Friday, November 8th from ca. 10 AM to 7 PM and on Saturday, November 9th from 10 AM to 1PM at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Takustr. 40, 14195 Berlin).



Following the workshop, a meeting of the German network for the study of the provenance of objects from East Asia will take place on Saturday afternoon (ca. 2 – 5 PM), to which international colleagues are also invited. This meeting will be conducted in German.



Papers should be of 20 minutes in length maximum. Please send proposals (max. 300 words) with a short academic CV to c.howald@tu-berlin.de by 31 May 2019 at the latest. Selected speakers will be notified by 30 June 2019 (a maximum of 12 papers will be selected for presentation).



Please note: We will not be able to provide financial assistance with travel expenses, although refreshments will be provided.
