About: We are pleased to announce the 22nd annual Context and Meaning Graduate Student Conference, hosted by the Department of Art History and Art Conservation at Queen’s University. This year’s conference engages broadly with the complex relationship between art and scandal. A scandal can be broadly defined as reactions, outrage, or shock, in response to people or events that are perceived to have deviated from socio-cultural norms. Scandals may be false, factual, or a combination of both. Art world scandals may relate to methods of production, subject or style, contexts of display or lack thereof, and artistic personas, influenced by politics, society, religion, money, and morality.
