The Print Room of the University of Warsaw Library, the oldest public
collection of prints, drawings and architectural drawings in Poland,
organises a conference "Methodology, Methods and Terminology of Graphic
Art and Drawing. Theory and Praxis" that will be held on 1-3 December
2010. The conference will be a main event, that close jubilee year of
the University of Warsaw Library - the 10th anniversary of its
establishment at its new building at Dobra Street.

This is the first academic conference in Poland, considered to works on
paper - prints and drawings, their methodology, methods and terminology.
Against general presence of prints and drawings in research in different
fields, as well as creating museum and library database, demanding
standardisation, the most important goal is taking effort of unification
of terminology. The conference aims to discuss different approaches.
Drawing together Polish researchers from different areas of expertise
including academics, curators, librarians and conservators, this
conference aims to explore theory and praxis in everyday life of
university, museum, library in a variety of cases, encouraging
methodological and theoretical discussions. The conference should be a
platform for exchange of observations in theory, methodology, methods
and praxis (especially in ambiguous terminology) between academics,
museum professionals, keepers of collection, works on paper
restaurateurs, as well as artists or scholars using prints and drawings
as a method in their own research. Emphasis is placed on prints and
drawings as works of art. Topics are welcome from all periods, but from
the 1400-ca 1850 the most wanted. A collection of essays presenting the
results of the conference is also planned; the presumed date of issue:
the end of 2011.

Prints and drawings are always close to each other but their status, as
well as their artistic/aesthetic evaluation were different in various
periods. Taking a part in general art history and its methodology since
70s-80s of 20th c. the present history of drawing and printmaking has
been developed dynamically, tending towards two main directions. The
first is an independent, autonomous research area in prints and
drawings, using extended and specific methods (e.g. watermark and paper
research), as well as assimilating methodology and methods of art
history. The second uses subjectically drawings and prints to change
them into an iconographic tool, research method in different fields of
study: art and architecture, book and illustration history, archeology,
etc. Using above method without knowing of basic rules and terminology
specific for drawing and printmaking sometimes it follows into an
incorrect conclusions, moreover the prints and drawings should be
consider as art object not only as iconographic material.
