Methodologies of Description

The research project ‘Bilderfahrzeuge. Aby Warburg’s Legacy and the Future of Iconology’ sets out to explore the migration of images, objects, commodities, and texts, in short: the migration of ideas in a broad historical and geographical context. It is funded by the German Ministry of Higher Education and Research, realised in cooperation with the Max Weber Stiftung, and situated at the Warburg Institute, London, as well as at the Deutsche Forum für Kunstgeschichte (Paris), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Kunsthistorische Institut (Florence), and Warburg Haus (Hamburg). Each institution is represented by one of the five Professors who also direct the research project: Andreas Beyer (Basel/Paris) who is also functioning as the research centre’s speaker, Horst Bredekamp (Berlin), Uwe Fleckner (Hamburg), David Freedberg (London), and Gerhard Wolf (Florence).For more information on the Bilderfahrzeuge Projekt please visit our website athttps://iconology.hypotheses.org.

This panel discussion accompanies the exhibition:
Metadata: how we relate to images
10 January - 3 February 2018
Lethaby Gallery, Central Saint Martins, London. 
Free. Limited places, please arrive early.
 
How is data affected by the categories that are created to structure it? What agency does, for example, a catalogue have? And how do acts of systematization of information determine perceptions of reality? These questions will be addressed by scholars and museum professionals working on encyclopaedism, histories of knowledge and the curation of objects. 
 
Metadata: how we relate to images is organised by the International Research Project "Bilderfahrzeuge. Aby Warburg's Legacy and the Future of Iconology' in collaboration with Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
