Isabel Mendonça, principal investigator of the IHA research project A Casa Senhorial em Lisboa e no Rio de Janeiro. Anatomia dos Interiores, presented one of its case studies this Thursday (19 June), at the Palácio Vilalva: “O Palácio de São Sebastião da Pedreira: interiores oitocentistas lisboetas ao gosto de Paris e Bruxelas”.
The research cluster "Art. Critique. Politics" that integrates the "Art Theory, Historiography and Criticism" group of the IHA is organizing its first colloquium, to take place at the Auditório Goethe-Institut and the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, on the 19 and 20 of June 2014 (the full program can be consulted here). The colloquium seeks to rethink the concept of critique/criticism (the Portuguese term 'crítica' can stand for both). To cite the cluster's coordinator, Nuno Crespo, the objective is not simply "to underline the relevance of criticism as a reflexive moment, necessary for the construction of the artistic object, but, at the same time, to review the context of the activity of criticism, contributing to the re-validation of its autonomy and disciplinary pertinence".
Several members of the IHA will be participating this week to the Coleções de Arte em Portugal e Brasil nos Séculos XIX e XX: Perfis e Trânsitos, which will take place at the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon (17-19 June 2014). You can consult the program here.
