    Call For Papers: 2014 Wollesen Memorial Graduate Symposium,

    A one-day graduate symposium hosted by the Graduate Union of Students of Art, University of Toronto.

    Art Work: Art’s Productive Economies

    Given the multivalent definitions “work” denotes (including, but not limited to: the product of labour; action involving effort directed toward a definite end; and the operation of a force in produci...ng physical change), it is possible to understand the work of art – and no less, the art of work – through a wide range of critical perspectives.
    Whether in the process of making art, the products of art, and / or the overarching labour networks in which art exists, how can one think of work and art together in ways that do not unduly privilege one term over the other? How should one situate art as work within both creative and economic labour markets? And how – if at all – can one conceive work as art in light of the conditions those markets entail?
    That is, how does work negotiate the material dimensions of labour, production, and capital vis-à-vis the aesthetic dimensions of practice, process, and products? Indeed, such questions only begin to scratch the surface of this relation that lays at the heart of aesthetic production. To these questions, we invite proposals for scholarly papers spanning all relevant fields and time periods that touch upon the relation between art and work within the aesthetic, social, political, and cultural economies that encompass these terms.

    Sample topics include, but are not limited to:

    - Representations of work and/or workers throughout visual culture.
    - The physical labour of artmaking processes and practices
    - Distributions of labour within artist studios (e.g. those of
    Rembrandt, Warhol, etc.)
    - Disjunctions and correlations between conceptual and material labour
    in artmaking and/or art institutions
    - The practice of art history / curating / etc. as forms of “the work
    of art”
    - The aesthetic consequences of immaterial labour / post-Fordism /
    economic globalization / etc.
    - The unseen labour practices that support art institutions (e.g.
    museum employees, art handlers, interns, etc.)
    - The figure of the artist as worker
    - The functional “work” of art objects.

    Current graduate students may submit an abstract of 200-300 words (outlining 15-20 minute presentations) and a brief CV to gustasymposium@gmail.com by January 1, 2014.

    The Art Education program in the College of Visual Arts and Design is hosting a public lecture by Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández, a dynamic scholar and Associate Professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of T...oronto. His talk is titled, “Wither the Artist?: Educating through the Logic of Cultural Production.” It will take place December 3 from 5:30-6:45pm in the Art Building room 223.

    There is an announcement flier attached here. Would you please circulate it among your students and colleagues? The topic will be of interest to many in CVAD, other colleges and departments across campus, and in the community.

    Below is more information about the speaker:

    Professor Gaztambide-Fernández is a cultural sociologist with a particular focus on schools, processes of identification, inequality, and symbolic boundaries. He teaches courses in curriculum and cultural theory, the arts in education, and political solidarity. His book, The Best of the Best: Becoming Elite at an American Boarding School (Harvard University Press, 2009) is based on a two-year ethnographic study of the lives of students at an elite boarding school in the United States. Gaztambide-Fernández is co-editor of the edited collections Cultural Studies and Education: Perspective on Theory, Methodology, and Practice (with Heather Harding and Tere Sordé-Martí, 2003, Harvard Education Press), Curriculum Work as a Public Moral Enterprise (with James Sears, 2004, Rowman and Littlefield), and most recently, Educating Elites: Class Privilege and Educational Advantage (with Adam Howard, 2010, Rowman & Littlefield). His current research focuses on the experiences of young artists attending specialized arts program in public high schools in cities across Canada and the United States. He is also the Principal Investigator of Proyecto Latin@, a participatory action research project with Latin@ youth in Toronto. His theoretical work focuses on the relationship between creativity and solidarity. He is particularly interested in the creative possibilities that arise from the social and cultural dynamics of urban centers as a way to think through social justice projects. The movements and encounters that define urban spaces generate particular cultural dynamics with the potential to reshape human relations. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Rubén now lives in Toronto with his wife Bonnie, and his children, Mercedes Irene and Alejandro Tomás.    See More

    Here's another CFP for an Art History graduate student conference:

    University of Missouri- Columbia
    Art History and Archaeology Graduate Student Association Symposium

    "It’s a Small World After All"

    Friday and Saturday, March 7 and 8, 2014

    Keynote: Friday evening, Dr. Tyler Jo Smith (Associate Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Virginia...)
    The Art History and Archaeology Graduate Student Association at the University of Missouri invite submissions from graduate students that take an object-based approach to the importance of “smallness” in the realms of art and material culture.

    Often, “small” objects and works of art have been overlooked or marginalized by scholars, being categorized as “minor” or “decorative” arts consequently being relegated to the realm of the insignificant. Yet, these small items were often produced with delicate and careful artistic skill, were used and treasured by their original owners, were ornamented with or created from expensive luxury materials, and above all, were culturally significant. Likewise, smaller elements of larger artworks, such as painting and architecture, are often overlooked in light of the larger and more overpowering whole. However, such smaller elements often hold important clues for understanding social status, cultural context, and symbolism. This symposium would like to turn the tables and focus on what makes small items interesting and significant. The material under consideration should deal with issues of smallness and may be literally, conceptually, or in name only “small.”

    Possible subjects that investigate the theme of smallness may include, but are not limited to:
    • Miniatures and or toys
    • Smaller components of a larger work.
    • Small archaeological finds including coins, ivories, metals, bone, or pottery.
    • Text and inscriptions.
    • Painting.
    • Jewelry.
    • Table wares.
    • Luxury items.
    • Architecture and Architectural sculpture.
    • Small-scale topography, town planning, trade and production.

    Topics from any historical period of Art History, Archaeology, Material Culture, and related fields will be considered for 20-minute presentations. All presentations will be held on Saturday, March 8.

    Submissions should be submitted electronically to MU.AHAGrads@gmail.com no later than January 10, 2014. Proposals should consist of a 250-500 word abstract and a CV.    See More

    Here's a possible CFP for graduate students across the arts:

    March 21-22, 2014
    The Arts & Humanities Graduate Student Association of The University of Texas at Dallas invites you to participate in RAW: Research, Art, Writing -- an interdisciplinary graduate student symposium. Organized by and for graduate students in the arts and humanities, the sixth annual RAW symposium continues to advance the goal of opening up an interdisciplinary conversation.
    Like our unique interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities graduate program, The RAW conference wishes to promote a common discourse between digital and traditional humanities, which have been conventionally separated by superficial methodological practices. At this year's RAW, we invite presentations that utilize traditional methods and their digital counterparts. RAW seeks to encourage the exhibition of a cross-section of the technological approaches being used, to reveal the existent networks across the practice, and to display the humanities for what they are and not what we think they are.
    We invite proposals for 15 minute individual presentations of papers, art, film, photography, sculpture, games, etc., as well as submissions of full panels (which will include three to four individual presentations). There are no limitations on field, genre, methodology, or discipline; we welcome presentations from across the range of arts and humanities -- including, but not limited to, philosophy, history, emerging media, literature, language, performances, works of art, etc. -- and we especially encourage projects that forge “interdisciplinarity.” Examples of possible project or presentation submissions include:
    Academic Submissions
    • excerpt of an M.A. paper or thesis
    • excerpt of a seminar paper
    • excerpt from a dissertation
    Creative Submissions
    • animation, video, or film projects
    • excerpt from a novel, play or short story
    • M.F.A. final project
    • selection of poetry
    • dance or other performance piece
    • art work (paintings, ceramics, drawings, etc.)
    • games
    Proposals are due by December 6, 2013. All proposals must include the following:
    • A complete mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, and affiliation of participant
    • A vita of no more than one page
    • For academic submissions: an abstract of no more than 250 words for the proposed presentation that includes 3 to 5 keywords
    • For creative pieces: please include medium, space requirements for the work/presentation, and an artist statement
    Panel proposals must include the above information for each participant.
    Send submission questions to utd.gsa@gmail.com Registration information will follow. For additional information see www.utdgsa.com    See More
