AAANZ conference 2011: CONTACT 7-9 DECEMBER 2011
Hosted by Art History, Victoria University of Wellington, Rutherford House, Pipitea Campus, Wellington, New Zealand.
The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand 2011 annual conference is focused on a single overarching theme: Contact.
'Contact' evokes encounters between cultures, peoples and objects and the issues and outcomes they spark. The organisers welcome papers on topics or issues related to this theme, whether these are about the encounter between one culture and another, between viewer and art work or between one artist or art work and another. Participants are encouraged to think creatively about the theme. We welcome proposals that address themselves to resistance and hybridity, intersection and divergence, purity and pollution, and other related questions raised by the theme of contact. We encourage proposals for papers from art historians, artists, critics, curators and post-graduate students.
KEYNOTE LECTURES:
Okwui Enwezor (Haus der Kunst, Munich)
Professor Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby (University of California, Berkeley)

Professor of Art History, Geoffrey Batchen, presented His Inaugural Lecture on 'Repetition and Difference: The Dissemination of Photography'
on Tuesday 3 May in the Hunter Council Chamber at Victoria University of Wellington, Professor Batchen addressed the effects and implications of photography's relationship to reproduction. By exploring this one crucial issue, Professor Batchen presented a way of thinking about photography that can match the extraordinary complexity of the photographic experience.
