The representation of Holocaust in Fine Arts
In 2010, the French Institute ofBudapest initiated a cycle of events about the representation of the Holocaust in fiction. Last year was dedicated to fiction films. The 2011 symposium deals with Fine Arts. It aims to study the evolution between the first attempts of the 60’s and the contemporary productions through various techniques of remembrance and trauma treatment, more precisely to capture "the difficulty of expressing the inexpressible ". The curator of the conference is Alexandra Reininghaus, Austrian cultural journalist.
During the three days event, renowned lecturers (artists and experts) from several countries will develop their topic :
József KÉSZMAN, Mariann MAYER (Hungary), Arnold DREYBLATT, Jochen GERZ (Germany), Alexandra REININGHAUS (Austria), Ziva AMISHAI-MAISELS, Batya BRUTIN, Avner BAR HAMA (Israel), Judith BARTOLANI, Laurence SIGAL and Norbert ENGEL (France)
