Free Seminar at UQ Art Museum
In association with our exhibition Five Centuries of Melancholia, please join us for a program of talks and readings that explore melancholy as a concept that has impacted on visual art, poetry, literature, music and film, and the idea of melancholy as a temperament that is associated with creativity.
The year 2014 marks the 500th anniversary of Albrecht Dürer’s engraving Melencolia 1 1514. Curated by UQ art historian, Dr Andrea Bubenik, the exhibition Five Centuries of Melancholia takes its cue from the engraving in an exploration of five centuries of melancholy in art. From the Renaissance onward, melancholy has been invoked as a condition, perspective, and/or mood; melancholy has inhabited figures, objects and landscapes. In addition to Dürer, the international artists in the exhibition include Francisco Goya, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Jusepe Ribera and Odilon Redon, along with contemporary Australian artists such as Rick Amor, Destiny Deacon, Tracey Moffatt and Imants Tillers. Artworks are drawn from national and state institutions, and regional, university and private collections.
Working in collaboration with academic colleagues from the ARC Centre for the History of Emotions (Europe 1100 – 1800), and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at The University of Queensland, this CPD seminar provides an exciting opportunity to consider interdisciplinary connections and ideas that can be applied to senior teaching. We welcome participation from Visual Art, English, Music, Film and Media teachers and other secondary school disciplines. Certificates of participation will be provided.
Confirmed presenters include: Dr Amelia Barikin, Dr Andrea Bubenik, Prof Peter Holbrook, Dr Eric Parisot, Ms Xanthe Ashburner, Dr Denis Collins and Dr Lisa Bode. More information on the seminar program will follow, including speaker abstracts and bios.
