OLD AND MODERN ART – A NEW VISION
20-21 November, 2015

Every year since 2013, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University has been organizing an international conference on topical issues in Old and Modern Art. This series of conferences has now become traditional. It has also been decided that each third conference will be dedicated to the endeavors’ of early-career researchers (students of PhD and Postdoctoral Programs) who are conducting their research in art history or other intellectual disciplines at the crossroads of history and theory of art.

The present international conference entitled "Old and Modern Art: A New Vision" is dedicated to interdisciplinary approaches in the study of art and aims to bring together young art historians from different countries. The topics of the abstracts could encompass a variety of subjects pertinent to any geographical area, historical or cultural period. It should be noted that we especially favour interdisciplinary papers.

The Conference will be held 20-21 November 2015 at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. The working languages are English and Georgian. The duration of presentation will be 20 minutes and follow-up discussions would last up to 15 minutes.

By 26 June 2015, candidates interested in the conference should submit their paper abstracts (number of symbols at maximum 4.000) and a CV with the author’s contact information to the following email: arthistorytsu.ge

The committee will contact the authors of selected abstracts by the 15th September, 2015. Following the conference, selected papers will be published as a separate volume in Tbilisi University Press.
