The International Conference on Insular Art (IIAC) is the leading
forum for scholars of the visual and material culture of early
medieval Ireland and Britain, including manuscript illumination,
sculpture, metalwork, and textiles, and encompassing the work of
Anglo-Saxon-, Celtic- and Norse-speaking artists. The present
volume contains a selection of papers presented at the eighth IIAC,
which took place in Glasgow 11-14 July 2017. The theme of IIAC8 -
Peopling Insular Art: Practice, Performance, Perception - was
intended to focus attention on those who commissioned, created, and
engaged with Insular art objects, and how they conceptualised,
fashioned, and experienced them (with 'engagement' covering not
only contemporary audiences, but later medieval and modern ones
too). The twenty-one articles gathered here reflect the diverse
ways in which this theme has been interpreted. They demonstrate the
intellectual vibrancy of Insular art studies, its international
outlook, its interdiscplinarity, and its openness to innovative
technologies and approaches, while at the same time demonstrating
the strength and enduring value of established methodologies and
research practices. The studies collected here focus not only on
made objects, but on the creative processes and intellectual
decisions which informed their making. This volume brings Insular
makers - the illuminators, pattern-makers, rubricators, carvers,
and casters - to the fore.
