FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE
ARTS IN SOCIETY
28-31 July 2009
Venice, Italy
http://www.Arts-Conference.com/
The International Conference on the Arts in Society and the
International Journal of the Arts in Society provide an intellectual platform
for the arts and art practices, and enable an interdisciplinary conversation on
the role of the arts in society. They are intended as a place for critical
engagement, examination and experimentation of ideas that connect the arts to
their contexts in the world - in studios and classrooms, in galleries and
museums, on stage, on the streets and in communities.
The 2009 Arts
Conference will coincide with the Venice Biennale, and will be held in
conjunction with featured exhibitions and programs. The occasion of the Venice
Biennale provides an opportunity for the Conference to serve as a node in the
larger phenomenon of fairs, festivals, and their networks. As such, the Arts
Conference aims to discover what values, instincts and common ground may exist
within the arts and their practices and sites of reception around the world.
Your participation shapes the Conference itself.
The theme of this year's
Conference is Art and Transnationalism. It focuses dialogue on the arts and art
practices that may be situated within the context of international art
expositions, festivals and biennials which are engaged with the transnational
production of art and its global distribution networks. The scope is
deliberately broad and ambitious. Our times demand nothing less than
interdisciplinary and holistic approaches. The breadth of the Conference and the
Journal, however, are without prejudice to finely grained discussion of
specific, local and grounded practices.
In addition to a roster of
international main speakers, the Arts Conference will also include numerous
individual paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by
artists/practitioners, teachers and researchers. We invite you to respond to the
Conference Call for Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for
publication in the fully refereed International Journal of the Arts in Society.
If you are unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual registration
options are also available which allow you to submit a paper for possible
publication in the Journal.
The deadline for the next round in the call
for papers (a title and short abstract) is 14 November 2008. Future deadlines
will be announced on the Conference website after this date. Proposals are
reviewed within two weeks of submission. Full details of the Conference,
including an online proposal submission form, are to be found at the Conference
website - http://www.Arts-Conference.com/.
