Description
These and similar questions, concerning the concept of imagination, the role of visual representation, or the use of images, have been addressed by artists and art theorists throughout the world. As a creative force, imagination has been integral in understanding individual artistic endeavours, seen as a key concept in aesthetics and art theory. And since art is a form of cultural expression, it is only natural to expect the visual imagination to abound in cultural connotations. This conference seeks to explore the connections between the visual forms of artistic expression and the concept of creative imagination across cultures. Suggested areas of inquiry may include (but by no means have to be limited to) the following:
fine art / installation art / multimedia art / performance art / interactive art / photography / digital photography / film / video / television / comic books / graphic novels / art theory / aesthetics / philosophy / visual representation in the arts / visual imagination in literature
