Art&Education announces inaugural Papers Prize: No Rules–Negotiating Art and DeregulationArt&Education announces inaugural Papers Prize: No Rules–Negotiating Art and Deregulation

Este artigo só se encontra disponível em Inglês.

 .

In support of young scholars conducting innovative research in contemporary art, Art&Education is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for its inaugural Papers Prize, which includes a research sum of 2000 USD and the opportunity to present a paper at a conference, organized by Artforum & e-flux co-sponsored by Society of Contemporary Art Historians, on the subject of the deregulation in art practice and history. What is the relationship between art and deregulation? Over the past four decades, the deregulation of global markets has been accompanied by the rise of flexible labor, the proliferation of highly sophisticated financial instruments, and increasing social complexity. Art&Education wishes to examine the possible links between such economic shifts, the putative rise of post-industrial society, and contemporary artistic practices, taking into account the renewed global interest in performativity, social and technological networks, and collaboration.  By considering such topics in dialogue or counterpoint with historical precedents, we hope to arrive at a more sophisticated understanding of artistic production and reception today–a field in which rules aren’t bent but are simply fluid.

 .

Proposals may include subjects such as:

  • Pre-histories and legacies of institutional critique
  • Models of artistic autonomy within historical conditions of economic deregulation
  • The legislation of public-private partnership between the state, funders, and art institutions
  • The recent “pedagogical turn” in which art and education entwined, and the concurrent decline of higher education and student activism
  • The changing forms of artistic resistance and critique, to include strategies of appropriation, mimicry and performativity
  • The rise of alternative spaces, and their changing relation to traditional spaces of the museum, gallery and studio
  • Post-studio art practices and the dematerialized artwork as it relates to social and economic mechanisms of Post-Fordism.
  • Reconfiguration of Think Tanks as a discursive and social model in contemporary art

     .

Final Entries will be reviewed by the Selection Jury: Daniel Birnbaum, Director, Moderna Museet Claire Bishop, Associate Professor of Art History, The Graduate Center, CUNY Tim Griffin, Artforum International Suzanne Hudson, Co-founder and President of the Society of Contemporary Art Historians Molly Nesbit, Professor Art History, Vassar College Brian Kuan Wood, Editor, e-flux journal

 .

One submission will be chosen as a recipient of the Art&Education Papers Prize. The winner and two-runners up will be given the opportunity to present a 20-minute portion of their research at a conference, featuring both invited and submitted papers and presentations. Details will be announced at a later date. Texts should be research-based articles pertaining to art history or contemporary art, and may be drawn from conference papers, seminar papers, dissertation chapters, etc.  All submitted texts will be considered for publication on Art&Education We ask that you submit pieces anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 words with a 100 word abstract and full contact information by midnight of May 30th 2011. No late submissions will be considered. Please submit articles, abstract and bios by email to papers@artandeducation.net. A free contributor-driven platform, A&E Papers seeks to expand publication opportunities for art historians, theorists, curators, and artists, and to make papers more easily available to the public.

POLIGRAFIA DAS PÁGINAS DE JORNAIS ANGOLANOS DE ANTÓNIO TOMÁS – LISBOA

 

E já na próxima semana, às 21h30 de 29 de Março, na Sala Prado Coelho da Fábrica Braço de Prata, será lançado o mais recente livro do investigador e cronista António Tomás, com a presença do autor e leitura de Ângelo Torres, numa iniciativa da Editora Casa das Ideias em parceria com a XEREM e BUALA.

 .

 .

António Tomás nasceu em Luanda, onde trabalhou como jornalista na Rádio Nacional de Angola e na Agência Angola Press, antes de se mudar para Lisboa. Licenciou-se em Comunicação Social pela Universidade Católica de Portugal. Trabalhou e colaborou em várias publicações, como o Jornal Público, onde assinou recensões críticas sobre literatura africana, e textos sobre cinema africano, dança e teatro. É autor de O Fazedor de Utopias: Uma biografia de Amílcar Cabral.   Este livro, nas palavras do autor, não é apenas “uma colecção de crónicas, ou compilação de textos” mas sim “um romance de ideias”, um “romance” de crónicas escritas sobre um modo de “pensar a sociedade angolana; (…) pensar política e poética”. Trata-se de um conjunto de crónicas publicado pela Editora Casa das Ideias, nas quais o autor fala de cinema, de música, de literatura, da tecnologia e do futuro, sempre atento ao que Angola produz – o bom e o mau – nestes campos. Apresenta-nos uma visão do quotidiano, do que se faz, hoje, dentro e fora do país, mas, quase sempre, com Angola e os angolanos como luz de fundo. Analisando questões políticas, raciais e culturais, ideologias, tendências, preferências, António Tomás elabora crónicas inteligentes, de alguém atento e conhecedor, que foge dos lugares comuns e até mesmo, por vezes, do “politicamente correcto” (expressão que encerra, também ela, muitos lugares comuns). São 250 páginas, nas quais se abordam diferentes questões em crónicas que agrupa sob os títulos: educação sentimental; questões literárias; imagens; sons; tecnologia; mundo; trevas; raça; política; país. Dentro destas temáticas actuais, traz-nos interrogações difíceis, como em Ofício: Registar a Morte ou, no âmbito das problemáticas nacionais, A Cor do Escritor Angolano, entre tantas outras. O estilo de António Tomás é inquisitivo, comparativo, lúcido. As suas crónicas são cultas, abrangentes e penetrantes, sem fugirem dos temas que se propõem desenvolver, de forma sintética e perspicaz, obrigando-nos a questionarmos as nossas próprias crenças e convicções, criando novas interrogações.
