xXxiI art medal congress - Glasgow
Glasgow, great britain- 10-14 july 2012
The XXXII Art Medal Congress will be held in Glasgow and will be hosted by the Hunterian Museum. In 2012 FIDEM is also celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The medals that are going to be exhibited in Glasgow should arrive the organizers no later than the 21st January 2012. It was decided during the interim meeting in Glasgow in July 2011 that:
- a two-sided medal with both the sides displayed is the same as two pieces or two sides;
- a medal with a
diameter over 150 mm is counted as two and
- that the maximum diameter of a medal is 200 mm.

Participation fees for non member artists
Since 2009, all artists wishing to exhibit and are NOT a FIDEM member, should pay :
- 20 € for displaying medals OR
- 40 € for displaying medals and receiving the exhibition catalogue.
(Please note that this does not apply if you are a FIDEM member.)
call for papers - The medal as object / The medal as idea
One sequence will consider the medal as a tangible made object and look particularly at the relationship between medals and larger works of sculpture. The other will focus on the ideas underlying medallic imagery and the relationships between that imagery and representations in other media, particularly printed books.
Papers may be given in English or French. The length of each lecture will be 20 minutes, after which there will be some time for discussion.
All media presentations must be prepared using computer presentation software. No slide projectors or overhead projectors will be available. Presenters are encouraged to use Microsoft PowerPoint as their presentation media. The conference venue will provide computers and media projectors for PowerPoint presentations if required. Delegates may not use their own laptops.
The deadline for proposals is 31 January 2012. Please bear in mind that not all proposals will be accepted.
Proposals should include:
- the title of the proposed paper with the author’s name and full contact information
- a brief curriculum vitae
- an indication of the sequence of papers in which your proposal belongs (if applicable)
- a brief abstract of max 250 words
Please send your proposals to Sally-Anne Coupar at fidem2012@glasgow.ac.uk.
