Unlikely is a transdisciplinary journal, which opens unexpected spaces for
artistic exchange and scholarly conversations across mediums, disciplines and
continents. Unlikely supports the research community of practitioners, makers,
and scholars working in the creative arts.
This international, peer-reviewed publication presents the opportunity for
artists working in practice-led research to engage in conversation with a range
of arts scholars on contemporary concerns. As an experiment in form, Unlikely
engages its audience and contributors in a two-stage process of live event,
presenting creative practitioners’ works, followed by peer-reviewed electronic
publication.
Contributions may take the form of artistic works and their documentation, as
well as scholarly articles. Please download the call for each issue and type of
works for submission guidelines from our website <http://unlikely.net.au/news>.
Issue 2: “Field Work” <http://unlikely.net.au/issues/issue-2> is out now
“Fields”: arenas for action; social discourses; professional areas of practice;
knowledge disciplines.
Guest editors: Lucas Ihlein and Brogan Bunt
With artistic and scholarly contributions from Adva Weinstein, Campbell Drake &
Jock Gilbert, Becky Nevin Berger, Dvaid Barzier & Kelda Free, Dominic Redfern,
Marnie Badham & Kate Hill & Ted Purves & Susanne Cockrell & Amy Spiers, Laura

Journal issue 3: “Art & Herbarium”—call for submissions
Guest editors: Thomas Bristow and Danielle Wyatt
About: Herbaria and natural history archives must be more than repositories for
artifacts and scientific information. Curators of these collections are aware
that while the archives have always been invested with human passions, natural
collections are now laden with distinctly contemporary affect as ‘nature’ comes
under threat from global challenges like species extinction, habitat loss and
the impacts of man-made climate change. While natural collections institutions
aim to improve our ecological futures through scientific research, it is clear
that ecological literacy also requires involving diverse publics in more
embodied, empathetic and ethical relationships with the natural systems that
sustain our life on this planet.
Selected proposals for creative or schloarly works will be published on
Unlikely—along with art works commissioned as part as an art exhibition at
Lab14 in March 2017 in Melbourne.

Deadline for abstracts/proposals for all types of submissons: March 19, 2017
Notification by April 2
Final submission due July 2
Journal issue 4: “Cancelled”—call for submissions
Guest editor: Maia Nichols
They say “[t]he time of heroes is over” [1], hoping to bury with it all forms
of heroism. Certain key aspects of society are irretrievable, crossed out,
eliminated. On the one hand, some purposefully act under the guise of
nonchalance, taking up a void status as strategic positioning. These can be
seen to act up “be unruly” or to act out “behave anti-socially” within the
world. On the other hand, the impetus for “Cancelled” will be to consider
agency and alternative models of questioning globalized capital, by rethinking
the productive legacy of nihilist strategies and their temporal effects. This
exhibition invites artworks that consider how the fields of communication,
hacking, design, architecture, activism, scientific or artistic practices
produce effects through cancellation, deflection, or discretion.

Selected proposals for creative arts works for “Cancelled” will be be
exhibited/performed at a live event. This will be either in May 2016 at the
Situation Room in Los Angeles and/or in June 2016 at Eastern Bloc in Montreal.
