Call for Papers: Elegance and Excesses: war, gold and borrowings: architecture in the 1860s in New Zealand
Elegance and Excesses: war, gold and borrowings: architecture in the 1860s Date: Friday 3rd December 2010 Venue: School of Architecture, Victoria University, Wellington Convener: Christine McCarthy (christine.mccarthy@vuw.ac.nz) Call for Papers Abstracts due: Monday 30th August 2010 The 1860s were an eventful time for architecture in New Zealand. On the eve of the decade, in 1859, William Mason became the first person to be a registered architect in New Zealand. The scene was thus set for the English idea of architecture as a profession to more substantially impact on our land. From the decade’s beginning were the start of civil wars and the discovery of gold, with New Zealand’s first major gold rush in Otago. It was war and gold which crudely distinguished the decade’s histories of the North Island and South Islands. Papers (15-20 min) presenting new research which examines…

Symposium: Alternative Practices in Design: The Collective – Past, Present & Future
Alternative Practices in Design: The Collective – Past, Present & Future 9-10 July 2010 RMIT University, Melbourne The rise of social networking and peer-2-peer technology development, the return of community focused activities (eg. gardens, knitting groups, food cooperatives) and creative collectives across the fields of the visual and performing arts has reawakened the discourse around human capital, flat structures and collectives. In response to this an international Symposium on the theme of the design collective is being convened at RMIT University in July 2010 with participants from Europe, the UK, and Australasia. The Collective offers a powerful model to conceptualise and experience the practice of design. Recent, high-quality research will be presented which uncovers historical and contemporary examples: real, virtual or theoretical; cultural and organisational theories; and, associated collective modes of practice and their ramifications for gender and political activism.…

Call For Papers: New Directions in Neo-Impressionism (London, 20 Nov 10)
Call for Papers New Directions in Neo-Impressionism Richmond, the American International University in London, UK Saturday 20 November 2020 Proposals of approx. 250 words due by 1 July to: woloshyn.tania@gmail.com 2010 marks the centenary of the death of Neo-Impressionist Henri-Edmond Cross (1856-1910) as well as the release of a new book of collected essays which re-evaluate the work of Georges Seurat (1859-1891), ‘Seurat Re-Viewed’ (edited by Paul Smith; published by Penn State Press, 2010). It is therefore a fitting time to reconsider the artistic production and contextual themes around Neo-Impressionism, a much maligned movement that has often been described as a series of artistic, political and scientific failures. Its new direction after the death of Seurat in 1891, under the self-declared leadership of Paul Signac (1863-1935), has been posited less as a renewal towards alternative but equally radical luminous experiments…

CFP: The New British Sculpture – Reviewing the persistence of an idea, c.1850-present
The New British Sculpture: Reviewing the persistence of an idea, c.1850-present Henry Moore Institute 18 February 2021 Deadline: 30 June 2010. British sculpture has been frequently singled out as an area of outstanding cultural expertise. Numerous major exhibitions and accompanying catalogues, including British Sculpture in the Twentieth Century (1981), Un Siècle de Sculpture Anglaise (1996) and Sculpture in 20th-Century Britain (2003) have subscribed to the idea of a distinct ‘strand’, ‘school’ or ‘family’ of artistic endeavour. This idea has been presented as having been rejuvenated by a cycle of Oedipal renewal in which successive groups of younger artists have been seen to overthrow the practices of the previous generation. Among British sculpture’s recent enfants terribles are the ‘Young British Artists’ of the 1990s, the ‘New Sculptors’ of the 1980s and the ‘New Generation’ sculptors of the 1960s who ousted such…
CFP: Art on the Street (South Korea)
Call for Papers: Art on the Street The Korean Society of Art Theories, Seoul, KOREA October 24, 2020 We seek to build upon the recent discussion on public art and community by investigating specific examples of the practices of contemporary art inparticular contexts.
