In April 2024, KBR and KU Leuven organise a joint event - Networks and Visual Seriality in Mass-Market Print Culture, for the closing of the ARTPRESSE project. GhentCDH will be presenting research at this conference and we invite you to join us!
ARTPRESSE is a BELSPO Brain-be 2.0 research project offering an intermediate study of Belgian art as a networked structure as seen through the lens of mass media magazines in the interbellum years. The conference is a collaboration collaboration between the ARTPRESSE projects and PopHeritage (Belspo/FED-twin), KBR and KULeuven.
Covering a period that stretches from after the First World War to the 1960s, this conference invites for new perspectives on European popular serial culture in print, its diverse forms and its media networks in the 20th century, as well as on the archival and curatorial approaches to this type of print heritage.
This conference proposes to approach this miscellaneous array through the prism of two interrelated concepts – networks and seriality – that describe and capture relationships, connections, and dialogues amidst the vibrant diversity of mass-market print culture. Taken together, defined in an open and encompassing way, these two concepts are opening new avenues for research into periodical cultures.
