     *ASAP/7: Arts & the Public*

*September 24-27, 2015*

Hosted by Clemson University at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville, SC

ASAP/7 Conference: www.clemson.edu/asap7

ASAP Home Page: www.artsofthepresent.org



*Call for Papers*
  **Please Distribute Widely**



ASAP/7 invites proposals from scholars and artists on the relations between
the public—broadly conceived – and contemporary visual, literary,
performing, musical, and media arts. From parks, schools, and museums to
monuments, performances, and protests, the public encompasses less a
specific domain than a varying set of political institutions, community
spaces, and cultural objects. Whether construed as virtual or bureaucratic,
as utopian or ecological, the public can be both a catalyst for artistic
production and an object of cultural critique. Although we gladly accept
outstanding proposals on any topic relating to the contemporary arts, we
encourage participants to think inventively about the intersections between
and among the public, its manifestations and conceptualizations, and the
arts of the present.



*POSSIBLE TOPICS INCLUDE*:



   - “Outsider,” Self-taught, and DIY Art
   - Social Protest and the Arts
   - Monuments and Anti-monuments
   - Private and Civic Life
   - Land Art
   - Art Squats and Artist-run Collectives
   - Pedagogy and Art Education
   - Media Ecologies
   - Political Aesthetics
   - Neoliberalism and Late Capitalism
   - The Commons
   - Urban Planning, Bureaucracy, and Built Environments
   - Regional/Transnational Geographies
   - Landscapes, Cityscapes, Soundscapes
   - Gender, Sexuality, Spectacle
   - Spaces of Race, Ethnicity, Migration
   - Temporality, Commemoration, Futurity
   - Design, Architecture, and Infrastructure



The program committee will consider papers on these or any other topic
relating to the contemporary arts. In keeping with our mission, we are
especially interested in sessions that feature more than one artistic
medium and more than one national tradition. The program committee will
give preference to panels and roundtables that feature papers by scholars
and artists working across and between disciplines.

*SESSION FORMATS:*

We welcome and encourage creative and alternative presentational styles,
alongside traditional papers and panels. Seminars, workshops, panel
debates, artist discussions, films, installations, visual displays, and
PechaKucha sessions will all be considered. Seminar leaders are asked to
propose topics by the deadline and to submit the full roster of
participants by 3.15.2015. Seminars normally meet for a single session, and
papers are circulated among participants in advance of the conference.



*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:*



Abstracts and session submissions should include the following information:

1.          Title of paper or session

2.          Author(s): name and contact information (including email
address)

3.          Format and style of presentation

4.          Abstract or session description:

5.          Brief descriptions (up to 150 words) of work and publications

6.          Optional: up to two jpeg images, each under 2MB, to complement

We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines, academic ranks,

medium.
