CALL FOR PAPERS – DEADLINE 31 MAY
Fast Forward - Art history, curation and practice after media
CHArt TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE, Thursday 9 - Friday 10 November
2006, London venue to be confirmed.
Everything is changing. In particular our media are changing and
developing in extraordinary and unprecedented ways and with great
rapidity. This is particularly true of so-called 'new media', such as
the Internet and the World Wide Web, mobile telephony, and digital
video. All of these either enable us to do things we did before
differently, or more often and more easily, or to do things we could
previously barely imagine. This is transforming how we understand and
use what we still call 'media', even as we enter a 'post-media' age.
More dramatically, these developments are in the process of transforming
not just our world, but our very selves, how we understand who we are.
We are in the midst of dramatic shifts in terms of the paradigms by
which we understand and act in the world. This is being acknowledged
increasingly by those working in visual culture, whether in cultural
production or cultural heritage, in art practice or in the history of
art, in museums, in galleries or in other kinds of arts organisations,
in libraries and archives, or in broadcast and media production
companies, all of which are facing up to the consequences of rapid
technological and cultural change.
For the 2006 CHArt Conference we are looking for proposals for papers
that deal with the possibilities, challenges and problems of these
changes, as they affect visual culture, in areas including (but not
limited to):
Art Practice; Art History; Museums; Galleries; Curation; Archives;
Libraries; Education; Media and Broadcast Production; Cultural Assets
Management and Access; Hardware; Software; Theory; Practice
Please email submissions (a three hundred word synopsis of the proposed
paper with CV of presenter/s and other key figures) by 31 May 2006 to
Hazel Gardiner ([log in to unmask]).
