Call for Papers--Symposium on scientific research in the field of Asian art

In September 2005, the Freer Gallery of Art will hold the Third
Forbes Symposium on Scientific Research in the Field of Asian Art in
Washington, DC. The theme will be "Studies of the Sculptural Arts of
Asia using Scientific Methods", and will focus on the impact of
scientific methods of study on broader questions of a technical,
historical, or art historical nature.

Those interested in giving a paper are invited to submit an abstract
(approximately 200 words) on original, previously unpublished
research by 31 January 2005.  Notifications of acceptance will be
sent by 15 March 2005. Speakers should plan a 25-minute presentation
and submit a manuscript (3000-4000 words) at the time of the
symposium.  Funding to offset speakers' travel expenses will be
available.
