REINVENTING MUSEOLOGY. The Role of Conceptual Art

Universidade Lusofona, Lisbon (CeiED and the Department of Museology).

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15th May 2022
Conference Dates: 6th -7th October 2022

Location: FMSH, Paris (www.fmsh.fr)
Keynote Speakers:
Sara Alonso Gómez, art historian, curator and associate researcher at

Mario Moutinho, dean of Universidade Lusofona and Director of the Museology
Department of Universidade Lusofona.

Conference Abstract:
The scope of this conference is to reflect from an interdisciplinary
perspective on the role that contemporary art – and especially conceptual
art – had for the progressive critical reform and democratization of
museology since the beginning of the 20th century. We are looking for
contributions that discuss historic and recent case-studies, theories and
solutions that emerged in the context of a new, social museology.

How did conceptual art contribute in time to the re-thinking of the museum
as practice (social and cultural), which had important implications for
promoting de-colonial thinking, allowing multiple narratives, including
secondary objects and marginalised histories into the museologic narrative
and expanding the identity of the heritage object with an ephemeral
dimension.

This conference intends as well to go deeper into the principles of
sociomuseology, which includes the immediate social reality into the
museologic practice. We would like to propose a discussion around this term
– launched in 2007 at Universidade Lusofona at the International MINOM
meeting, while introducing the question of art into this field.

The call is open to contributions from anthropology, social sciences,
education science, design, performance studies, aesthetics. We would like
to follow how do these approaches reflect back into the discipline of
museology, determining a shift towards a de-colonial and social museology.
A publication will be issued in 2022-2023 which includes the conference
proceedings, related articles by the conference participants and artistic
portfolios.

Formats: Lecture (Theoretical contributions, case-studies, documentation of
artistic practices and works etc.), Film/Video and Photography Submission
