CFP: The Medium of light and the neo-avant-garde 1950/60s
Duesseldorf, Germany, 28.06.2012
Eingabeschluss: 31.01.2012

Call for papers: The medium of light in the context of the
neo-avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s

Deadline: January 31st, 2012

The international ZERO movement formed between the end of the 1950s
and the mid-1960s a neo-avant-garde in the European art scene in which
light plays a central role. The focus on light in art after 1945 has a
connection with the political, social and cultural situation of the
post-war period, but this art is not without precursors: Earlier in
the twentieth century, artists of the classical avant-gardes already
engaged with the medium of light. In the framework of the symposium,
the ZERO artists' treatment of light is to be contextualized and also
historically situated. Continuities and ruptures, philosophical and
theoretical foundations in the various countries are to be thematized,
along with the influence of theories of gestalt psychology, the
preoccupation with natural phenomena and of ZERO artists’
collaboration with natural scientists and technological experts. The
critical analysis of ZERO works of light-art, of their textual
references as well as mythological aspects in the engagement with
light, brightness, illumination, purification, sun, optimism,
knowledge and order from historical, physical, structuralist and
phenomenological perspectives is supposed to help attain, fifty years
after ZERO, an unbiased view of this neo-avant-garde and its
significance and position within art after 1945.

The conference is being organized by the ZERO foundation Düsseldorf in
collaboration with the Institute for Art History at the Heinrich Heine
University Düsseldorf within the framework of the graduate program
Materiality and Production on 28 June 2012
(www.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/materialitaet-und-produktion/).
The papers should not be longer than 20 minutes. Please send your
proposals for a talk (maximum of 2,000 characters) to:
light@zerofoundation.de (deadline: January 31st, 2012).
