From 4-5 February the workshop Marine Contours will take place in Kiel. The workshop, funded by the SEA-EU Seed Fund, is a collaboration between the History of Art Departments of Kiel University, Germany, and the Uniwersytet Gdański, Poland. The workshop will discuss the interrelation of outline and the 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.
Master and PhD students studying at one of the SEA-EU universities are invited to apply to participate in the workshop which will take place at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany. Applicants should send an abstract (max. 300 words) along with a CV and cover letter to vonmueller@kunstgeschichte.uni-kiel.de by December 15 2024. Participants will present their original research in a 30-minute paper. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered.
