Workshop: “Marine Contours”
February 4-5 2025
Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany
Organisers:
Prof Caecilie Weissert and Dr Johannes von Müller, Kunsthistorisches Institut, Kiel University, and Dr Anna Sobecka, Instytut Historii Sztuki, Uniwersytet Gdański
About:
The workshop “Marine Contours” is a cooperation between the History of Art Departments of the Christian-Albrecht-Universität zu Kiel, Germany, and the Uniwersytet Gdański, Poland. It is financed by the SEA-EU Seed Fund. Students from all universities forming part of the SEA-EU initiative are welcome to apply to participate in the programme.
The workshop sets out to discuss the interrelation of outline and sea in a wide range of perspectives. It will address figurative representations of the sea in various media as well as more abstract relationships between the sea and specific materials representing it. Other areas of interest are actual limits of the sea such as littoral spaces and harbours, and their significance in art and its history.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
– limitations and delimitations in visual representations of the sea
– the sea as a boundary of the world
– the sea and horizon in the visual arts
– coastlines and harbours in the visual arts
– natural materials sourced at the coast
