CFP: Sources of Technology

After five earlier successful symposia in Amsterdam, Madrid, Glasgow, Vienna and Brussels the biennial ATSR symposium returns to Amsterdam in 2014 for discussion about the working group's base: the art technological sources themselves and their research. The context for the 2014 symposium is the large collection of art technological sources from the Middle Ages until today in the library of the Rijksmuseum. Discussions will therefore concern: artist's notebooks, practical treatises, studio interiors, workshop inventories, documents on the trade in artists materials, and databases for art technological sources.
