Courtauld Institue of Art London Conference In this Darwin bicentenary year, the full impact of the research and theories of the naturalist who spent most of his life at Down House, Kent, is coming to the fore. Few intellectual disciplines have remained untouched by the thought of Charles Darwin, as revealed by visual cultures in the form of art, anthropological, medical, and scientific imagery, as well as the popular images that feature in the press. This is the subject matter of the conference and events to be held under the title, The Art of Evolution: Charles Darwin and Visual Cultures, at The Courtauld Institute of Art, 2-4 July 2009. The Art of Evolution: Charles Darwin and Visual Cultures will explore the impact of Charles Darwin on visual cultures through the examination of aesthetics, the museum, slavery and concepts of indigenous people, as well as the representation of animals. It will investigate the repercussions of Darwin's theories upon images of the body, eugenics and genetics, sexualities, Surrealism, film and contemporary art. Including exhibitions and film screenings, the conference will conclude with a reading of Justin Fleming's provocative new play, Origin, directed by Wayne Harrison. The book, The Art of Evolution: Darwin, Darwinisms and Visual Culture, co-edited by Barbara Larson and Fae Brauer, will be launched at this conference. The conference is also offered in conjunction with a lecture by Professor Dame Gillian Beer FBA (University of Cambridge). Her lecture, organised in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust, is entitled The Backbone Shiver: Darwin and the Arts, and will take place 6.45 - 7.45pm, Wednesday, 1 July 2009, at the Henry Wellcome Auditorium, Wellcome Collection Conference Centre, 183 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE.
