CALL FOR PROPOSALS Issue 2: Data, March 2022 Deadline: Monday, April 19, 2021
Find full details and submit proposals on the journal website: https://www.artic.edu/journal For this issue, we invite proposals that critique the current state of data production and analysis in the context of cultural institutions as well as proposals from those producing innovative systems and content informed by those critiques. What new art historical questions does self-aware engagement with data and its production enable us to pose? How can we work with (and past) gaps and uncertainties in data? How might museums use data to promote social justice and equity? We welcome case studies, interventions, and meta-examinations of the history of the questions around data, its uses, and its representation. Contributions might engage critical race theory, feminist theory, and queer theory, among other frameworks, and could take the form of artistic contributions, data visualizations, essays, or interactive databases. A successful submission will: * present original research and/or ideas that imaginatively engage new topics and perspectives * enrich and complicate the issue’s theme * relate to current concerns in the world at large * engage with objects in a meaningful way, whether at the micro or macro level * be appealing and accessible to intellectually curious but nonspecialist readers * articulate its relevance to thinkers and makers outside its discipline and specialty * adopt a definite point of view on its material, even if that view embraces ambiguity and complexity Honoraria: For the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 issues, there will be a $1,000 honorarium for contributions from non-Art Institute of Chicago staff. A note on translation: The Art Institute Review welcomes proposals from scholars working in other languages. The proposal must be in English, but if it is accepted, the author may write in their preferred language, and the journal will oversee the translation. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://lists.mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/
