CFP: [20th] Contemporary Transformations
Contemporary Transformations
The UKNMFS in Association with University of Westminster, UK
23rd May 2009 â€" 24th May 2009
A significant characteristic of artistic movements is the reconfiguration,
adaptation and transformation of texts. The focus of this conference is
the appropriation and conversion of existing artistic works for use in a
contemporary vogue. This ambition to ‘make it new’ in tandem with the
politics and intentions behind the transformation has led to the emergence
of startling works of contemporary art.
