| Breve storia del CIHA Italia
Il Comitato italiano CIHA è un’organizzazione non lucrativa, oggi con sede a Firenze, nata nel secondo dopoguerra in continuità ideale con il primo incontro internazionale di storia dell’arte tenutosi a Vienna nel 1873, e finalizzata all’esclusivo perseguimento di promozione della cultura e dell’arte. É costituito da rappresentanti delle varie istituzioni storico-artistiche culturali: Università, Soprintendenze, Musei nazionali, provinciali, regionali, comunali e privati. Nel 1952 il Comitato italiano si ricostituì con il coordinamento di Giulio Carlo Argan, che si assunse il compito di redigerne lo Statuto. L’Italia ospitò il congresso nel 1955 a Venezia e nel 1979 a Bologna, dove alle presenze europee si aggiunsero quelle di paesi extraeuropei, tra cui l’America del nord, del centro e del sud, e l’Asia, con particolare riferimento al Giappone. La presenza italiana al Congresso internazionale a Melbourne nel 2008 attraverso un delegato ufficiale nella figura dell’allora direttrice del Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi a Firenze, Marzia Faietti, ha consentito di riannodare le fila di un dialogo fruttuoso con il Bureau e il Comitato Internazionale. La partecipazione infine del Comitato italiano al congresso internazionale di Norimberga nel 2012, con il coordinamento di sessioni da parte di studiosi italiani e la presenza di singoli ricercatori, accademici e funzionari di Musei, ha segnato un’apprezzata affermazione del Comitato italiano che ha avanzato la propria candidatura per il congresso del 2020 a Firenze e, successivamente, nella riunione dell’International Bureau a Parigi (novembre 2013), la possibilità di un congresso organizzato insieme al Brasile, in due sedi (Firenze 2019; San Paolo 2020).
MOTION: Transformation 35th International Art History Congress After more than forty years, CIHA’s International Art History Congress (Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art) returns to Italy, inFirenze,from September 1st to September 6th, 2019. “MOTION: Transformation” is the first part of the 35th CIHA International Congress, which for the first time will be held in two different countries within a two-year period. The second part of the Congress, entitled “MOTION: Migrations”, will take place in São Paulo, Brazil in September 2020. The MOTION congress intends to launch an extraordinary trans-cultural debate on one of the most important issues in global culture: the Movement, based on two of its most important aspects, Transformation and Migration. The first part of the congress, organised by CIHA Italia in collaboration with the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz-Max-Planck-Institut, will take place in Firenze Fiera (Firenze’s fair district) in the halls of Villa Vittoria able to accomodate almost one thousand expected participants and in some of the city’s most prestigious historical buildings including Palazzo Vecchio.
This event will be held thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze, with the support of the Los Angeles Getty Foundation and the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz-Max-Planck-Institut. Furthermore, it’s been acknowledged by the MiBAC (Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali – Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities), the City of Firenze, the Metropolitan City, University of Firenze, Firenze’s Chamber of Commerce and Regione Toscana.
The extensive program of the study sessions will include about one hundred and twenty speeches by experts from all over the world. There will be events open to the public and lectiones magistrales, such as the one held by the Indian art history historian Kavita Singh at Palazzo Vecchio as well as visits to major and minor museums and collectionsthroughout Firenze. All itineraries will be linked to the congress, thanks to the special collaboration of the administrations of the various museums and organisations involved.
Froma transcultural, interdisciplinary and innovative perspective, the congress to be held in Firenze starts with a reflection addressed to the role of the artist intended as “he who acts and does” because endowed with the divine ability to shape the material and to create new forms, as well as to the nature of the art object in turn endowed with “soul”.
The nine sessions of the congress During the nine study sessions we will discuss: the figure of the artist as a divine and mystically inspired figure, the effects of time on artwork and the relationship of the latter with the environment, the power of images in relation to religions, the role played by the arts in the processes of social transformation, also with reference to technological development and finally the “Journey” through which the constant circulation of people, ideas and objects is favoured. The speakers will be experts from leading universities and institutes worldwide, including École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris), the Courtauld Institute (London), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Columbia University (New York), Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi), Universidade Federal of São Paulo (Brasil), Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa), University of Hong Kong.
Session 1: Art as a vision This session will focus on the relationships between art and divine inspiration from a comparative and cross-cultural perspective. Moreover, it will examine a few artists and mystics able to create mental images that can communicate with the real ones, it will also investigate the relationship between observable reality, spirituality, vision and creativity and it will highlight the complex ties that exist between seeing with the eyes, imagining and remembering.
Session 2: Art and materials over time The key topic of this session will be the importance of materials in art, not only in relation to the ones selected by the artists when creating, but also in respect to the ways in which materials change over time. The materials the artist chooses may influence the perishability of the artwork itself since they are not made of inert but living matter.
Session 3: Art and nature This session will address the theme of multi-faced relationships between art and nature, these concepts have been referred to in a separate manner from the early modern age. Prior to this period, in fact, there was no clear separation between the two, as both Nature and Art were of divine origin. The numerous speeches will focus on the crucial moments of this distinction process.
Session 4: Art and religions This session will focus on the power of images in the different religions from a historical-artistic and anthropological perspective.Why do we love images? What makes us trust them? We will discuss the following topics in the most trans-cultural perspective possible: soul-bearing objects, idols, avatars, visions and violence against religious images.
Session 5: Art between drawing and writing This session will offer a reflection on affinities and divergences between drawing and writing. How do lines produce shapes? Straight or curved, broken or continuous, the lines are tangible proof of the process by which artworks are created and texts are written. Moving between figure and language, they are simultaneously a trace of a creative path and a means of communication.
Session 6: Architecture, iconicity, and the process of production In a contemporary culture there is a growing tendency to transform even the great architectural masterpieces into pure images, even icons. This growing visibility is generating substantial changes in the way one looks at architecture as a physical and multi-dimensional experience. From this point onward, this session will suggest an approach to the architectural icon that is aimed at the study of creative and productive processes.
Session 7: Art, power and the public The work of artists and architects has always been used by individuals or groups belonging to the most varied political and religious contexts in order to acquire and maintain power.This session will focus on specific crisis and changes where artworks have helped transform obsolete systems, traditional schemes and power relations between different social groups, while putting the society in the position to have to face new ideas or even utopias.
Session8: Art, critics and audience Art history teaches us how the artist’s performance is influenced by its critics. This session will examine the role of artists, critics and the audience from the post-war period to today by observing the theme of the prospect of “disappearance” (of limits, of contents, of memory), furthermore, by discussing death, censorship and new technologies.
Session9: The “Voyage” Conceived as a connecting section between the two parts of the congress that will take place in Firenze and São Paulo, Brazil, this session will include experts who will exchange ideas on the theme of the “Voyage”. We will address the artistic and cultural exchanges between Brazil and Italy. The voyage, in fact, can be viewed from different perspectives; from the migration of people to the circulation of objects and documents. Furthermore: the journey of the artist, the educated man, the scientific explorer, the pilgrim, as well as journeys determined by colonial, military and diplomatic intentions, or linked to pirate raids and phenomena of banditry.

The Italian CIHA Committee is a non-profit organisation currently based in Firenze founded after the second world war following the first international art history meeting held in Vienna in 1873. CIHA’s aim is to promote culture and art and it comprises the representatives of the various cultural and historical-artistic organisations, such as: Universities, Superintendents, national, provincial, regional, municipal and private Museums. In 1952 the Italian Committee was reconstituted with the help of Giulio Carlo Argan, who assumed the task of drafting the Statute. In 1955 Italy hosted the congress in Venezia and in 1979 in Bologna where non-European countries first appeared among European ones including North, Central and South America, as well as Asia, with particular reference to Japan. In 2008, Italy participated to the International Congress held in Melbourne, represented by the former director of the Department of Prints and Drawings of the Uffizi in Firenze, Marzia Faietti. This event helped renew a prosperous dialogue with the Bureau and the International Committee. Moreover, during the International Congress held in Nuremberg in 2012, the participation of the Italian Committee as coordinator of the sessions, which included Italian experts, individual researchers, academics and Museum directors, has acknowledged the Italian Committee as a potential candidate for the 2020 congress in Firenze. Following this, during the International Bureau meeting in Paris (in November 2013), the Italian CIHA Committee was offered the opportunity to organise a congress with Brazil in two different locations (in Firenze in 2019 and in São Paulo in 2020).
