Abstract | The materials of the medieval artist, artisan, and architect were constantly on the move. Likewise, the techniques of working with materials also travelled through the movement of artists, objects, and merchants. While in transit, these materials and techniques might retain their original meanings and function; or they could be integrated with local media, refined, or transformed to something drastically different, to suit the ideologies and ambitions of their destination.The first of two sessions of the International Center of Medieval Art's Student Committee panel seeks to engage with the movement of materiality and media, and the proliferation and adaptation of their values and meanings. |
