Public Art Dialogue- Call for Artist Project Submissions
Public Art Dialogue
is accepting artists’ projects submissions for the
Public Art as Political Action issue to be published in Spring 2019.
Artists' projects are unique artworks and/or art interventions designed specifically for the pages and cover of
Public Art Dialogue. Projects should relate to the theme of the particular issue and treat the journal itself as a site/space for public art. Artists of all disciplines and at all points in their careers are encouraged to submit projects to the journal.
SOUNDSITES: EXPERIMENTS IN SOUND AND PLACE Submission Deadline:
August 1, 2018
Guest Editors:
Charles Eppley & Åsa Stjerna
For this issue, the editors invite critical articles, artist essays, and other writings that examine the topic of sonic public art from broad aesthetic, interdisciplinary, or cultural perspectives.
Ideal articles will provide unique views on artists, artworks, and practices that employ sonic materials, methods, and concepts to engender encounters with public space. This issue will provide an overview of the fields of sonic art, historical and contemporary,
from the theme of place and re-contextualize the aesthetic, discursive, and cultural frames of ‘sound art’ to include individuals, concepts, and practices that have been marginalized by disciplinary methods, narratives, and epistemologies. We are especially
interested in articles that identify, analyze, and theorize sonic public art from critical vantages that challenge existing narratives and Western perspectives on art and music. In addition to formal and aesthetic inquiries, authors are encouraged to connect
sonic public art to social, political, and economic paradigms that address how the processes of institutionalization, commodification, and mediation have affected public art-making in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Possible topics include: sound sculpture;
sound installation; environmental art; performance art; new music; environmental music; Fluxus; Minimalism; acoustic ecology; digital listening; noise pollution; queer sound; gender, race, identity and the cultural politics of listening; sonic protest; sonic
weapons; acoustic architecture; accessibility and disability; diasporic sound and global listening cultures; and sonic urbanism (e.g., the sounds of revitalization/gentrification).
About
Public Art Dialogue
Public Art Dialogue
serves as a forum for critical discourse and commentary about the practice of public art defined as broadly as possible to include: memorials, object art, murals, urban and landscape design
projects, social interventions, performance art, and web-based work. Public Art Dialogue
is a scholarly journal, welcoming of new and experimental modes of inquiry and production. Most issues are theme-based, and each features both peer-reviewed articles and artists' projects.
The journal is overseen by co-editors Cameron Cartiere and Jennifer Wingate and assisted by an international editorial
board, which reflects the diversity and cross-disciplinarity of the public art field. We welcome submissions from art historians, critics, artists, architects, landscape architects, curators, administrators, and other public art scholars and professionals,
including those who are emerging as well as already established. The journal is published twice yearly in print and electronic formats in English language only, and is affiliated with the professional society of the same name.
