SALON Conference 2026: Registration open

On the 12th of June, SALON organises her annual conference at the Singer Laren museum in Laren, NL. This one-day international conference examines biography not as a stable source of meaning, but as a constructed and sometimes unreliable framework that shapes how artists are understood, judged, and received. Focusing on the long nineteenth century - a period that codified the modern image of the artist and entrenched powerful narratives of genius, identity, and reputation - the programme brings together scholars who probe the limits, uses, and distortions of artist biographies.
