After ROKOKO MANIA fashion exhibition at the Designmuseum Denmark in 2012, and in 2016 the first monograph of the most eminent 18th century painter in Scandinavia, Carl Gustaf Pilo, by the Danish art historian Charlotte Christensen, and the William Hogarth’s Treaty of Beauty at the Statens Museum for Kunst (2016). These past events demonstrate the obvious potential in developing this topic in Denmark.The study of the dissemination of Rococo in Scandinavia has never been addressed in a public forum. This is why and how the idea of having a conference in Copenhagen emerged and was developed, and ought to happen in Scandinavia under the auspices of the French Embassy in Denmark.This conference will convene for the first time 18th century experts from Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Sweden and America in a public forum about the Rococo in Scandinavia.Program Conference Rococo in Scandinavia:Day 1: Thott Palace, 30 May 2017 13h-17h30Address: Det Thottske Palae, Kongens Nytorv 4, 1050 København K (Danmark)13h-30: Welcome by H.E François Zimeray, French Ambassador in Denmark13h40: Charlotte CHRISTENSEN, former curator at the Designmuseum (Denmark): Fatal fires: How Copenhagen lost its Rococo…14h00: Jørgen HEIN, senior curator at Rosenborg Palace (Denmark): Saved from the fire and sent to the garden: Rococo from the first Christiansborg at Rosenborg14h20: Merit LAINE, Associate Professor, Dept. of Art History, Uppsala University (Sweden):Coexistence or Transition?
