Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: SECAC
Deadline: Fri, April 20th, 2018

 

Please submit your presentation ideas to this panel, chaired by Ellen Mueller and entitled, Intersections: Drawing & Social Practice at the SECAC conference in Birmingham, October 17 – 20th, 2018. Here’s the abstract:

Socially engaged art practices are growing in popularity, encompassing more media, approaches, forms, and strategies. As Pablo Helguera articulates in Education for Socially Engaged Art, “[it] is a hybrid, multi-disciplinary activity that exists somewhere between art and non-art…. Socially engaged art depends on actual — not imagined or hypothetical — social action.” For this panel, we will be focusing on those social practices that intersect with drawing due to its familiarity, accessibility, and wide-ranging manifestations. From traditional murals and community portraits, to earthworks and conceptual acts of erasure, drawing has intersected with this field time and again. Submissions should address this junction between social practice and drawing via topics including, but not limited to, artist talks on social practice works, pedagogical approaches, art historical analysis, review of independent publications/artist books, and beyond.

Proposals are due by April 20, 2018, and can be submitted at:
