New edition 'Panoramic. The Leiden Art Review'
Last year, the Art History program, led by lecturers Laura Bertens and Elizabeth den Hartog, started the course The Academic Art of Publishing, in which students work on editing and publishing an academic journal: 'Panoramic. The Leiden Art Review'.
Students from the BA tracks Art History and Arts, Media and Society and from the MA Arts and Culture submitted essays, out of which the lecturers selected two collections of ten papers that will be published in two issues of the journal Panoramic. The Leiden Art Review. Within the new course, our BA3 students work on editing the articles, writing book reviews, taking care of the cover art, the website, the promotion and the organization of a symposium.
Two issues
Issue 1 focuses on art from before 2000 and includes a wide range articles dealing with subjects like prehistoric clothing, the secret behind the translucent veils in the paintings of the Flemish primitives, ideas about grotesques, porcelain from Iznik, Persia and China and Japanese painting from the Edo period. The edition contains texts in Dutch and English.
Part 2 focuses on modern and contemporary art and is published entirely in English. It discusses artists such as Marina Abramovic and Yoko Ono, the underwater sculpture park by Jason deCaires Taylor and the fictional Chinese texts by Xu Bing. Furthermore, the collection of the Uffizi Museum in Florence is screened for inclusivity and the film The Killing of a Sacred Deer is examined from an art-theoretical perspective. Together, the editions provide a good picture of the diversity of education within our programme.
