Call for Panelists:
The ARLIS/NA Affiliate Session at the College Art Association Conference
in New York City seeks three panelists to participate on the following panel to
be held at CAA 2013 (February 13-16, 2013, in New York City):
21st
Century Artist's Publications: self-published print-on-demand artist's books,
zines, mini-comics and photo books
With the increased use of print-on-demand publishing technologies, many artists
are blending the typologies of artist's books, zines, mini-comics and photo books,
often creating print publications that are indistinguishable from one another.
This
session is open to papers discussing the impact of print-on-demand technologies
on the typology of artist's books, and to papers discussing the impact of print-on-demand
on the genres of artist's books, zines, mini-comics, and photo books. Has
print-on-demand created a new typology (artist's publishing) that is inclusive of multiple publication
types? Has print-on-demand production and distribution
transformed the creation of artist's publishing and sales beyond (more
traditional) brick and mortar dealer and distributor networks? What is
the financial impact of print-on-demand for artists and/or
dealers/distributors? Should new terminology such as artist's publishing or book art subsume the typologies of artist's books, zines,
mini-comics, and photo books?
Session chair: Tony White, Maryland Institute College of Art ([log in to unmask])
Panelists are encouraged to present varying perspectives about the impact of print-on-demand
on the current genre of artist's publications. Of special interest are
papers that balance art history and studio art voices, as well as persons early
in their careers to those that are more established, whether independent
scholars, artists, teaching faculty, curators, or librarians. Each
panelist will speak for ca. 20 minutes and will then participate in a moderated
dialog with the audience about issues and topics raised.
Interested
speakers should send the following information via e-mail to the session chair
(deadline August 20, 2012):
- Proposed title for your paper/presentation
- A brief abstract (ca. 150-200 words) of your proposed paper
- A C.V.
All submissions will be acknowledged, and a final decision will be made by
August 25, 2012.
