Open to artwork in all media, except electronics, by women artists from the international community. (Computers may only be used as a tool in producing the physical work.)

ABSTRACT: Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Jan 31st
LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
“Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Where do we go from here?”
9th and 10th July 2009 at the School of Creative Arts, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. 10am – 5pm each day.
We believe that content is paramount for any artist’s book, yet format is also part of its context. We are currently working on a 2-year AHRC funded project (www.ahrc.ac.uk) at the Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England, UK: “What will be the canon for the artist’s book in the 21st Century?” Our aim is to create a manifesto for a canon of the 21st Century artist’s book, to be published in February 2010.
The study will consider the traditional publishing formats for artists’ books and assess their potential for future expansion within the field. We also aim to quantify how artists are using new technologies and screen-based media as publishing tools.
We are seeking papers and members for discussion panels for a two-day conference we will be hosting on 9th and 10th July 2009. We invite artists, academics, students, presses, publishers, curators, dealers and collectors to submit abstracts for papers and discussion topics, based upon the title of the conference: “Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Where do we go from here?” There will be a total of twelve papers presented over the two days and two discussion sessions for which we are seeking the abstracts to be refereed.
Speakers who are selected by the referees will not be paid to present a paper so we encourage participants to apply for funding elsewhere. The funding from the AHRC will be used to subsidise the cost of attending the conference to allow as many to attend as possible. Attendance will cost £20 or £10 for students for both days. These fees will be waived for speakers/panel members. If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words and a copy of your current CV by 31st January 2009 to:

Call for Art : Window Piece for Reader's Art 9
Reader's Art, the annual and always popular group show of national and local book artists at Susan Hensel Gallery celebrates its 9th year in 2009. This year the theme of Reader's Art is "Small, Smaller, Smallest"—a focus on miniature books and the amazing craft and precision that they entail.

The dimensions of the windows are approx. eight feet wide across the back wall, six feet wide across the windows themselves, and seven feet high.
The exhibition, as well as its window counterpart, will run March 13th through April 24th.
Applicants need not be book artists themselves, and the proposed work need not be miniature. However, extra consideration will be given to artists whose proposals cleverly reflect these concepts. proposals due:January 30, 2009
Please see the website for further details. http://www.susanhenselgallery.com

Call for papers, 2/1//09
At the recent NEW VIEWS 2 conference at the London College of
Communication in July of 2008 there was some heated discussion in the
Interdisciplinarity Discussion Group. See conference site for more
details: http://newviews.co.uk/speakers.html ) One visitor dropped in
for a visit after the group had met for several session and attempted
to provoke the group (his admitted intention) with the declaration
that Design is Dead. See Rick Poyner's article on the conference
(http://www.eyemagazine.com/opinion.php?id=160&oid=453 ). We don't
accept that Graphic Design is dead (as one presenter suggested) but
that certain views have reached their life span. The view of the
designer or designers' role as either the maker of an end product, or
on the other extreme as the “expert†who comes into a project with
“the answer†is one that many of us felt was no longer operative.
Interdisciplinarity is a given in design activity. What we can all
benefit from is a closer examination of the methods, theories,
difficulties and possibilities to form a stronger framework for how to
be part of the shift that re-visions the role of the graphic designer
in the current and next generation. We are looking to collect
submissions from both designers and those who have or wish to bring a
designer into their process for a special issue of MULTI
(http://multi.cias.rit.edu/).
We welcome traditional papers and non-traditional submissions looking at:
-theoretical, applied, and/or pedagogical practice
-the use of the term graphic design:do we abandon this term as some
suggested?
-evaluation/effectiveness of interdisciplinarity in the classroom (how
do we evaluate? what are the problems?)
-how does design bring together and integrate the views of science?
psychology? economy? ecology? politics? etc…
-what are the factors of change? (i.e. social change such as feminist
theory, technology…etc.)
Design isn’t dead, but it is at the crossroad of a new direction.
Let’s explore the possibilities together as designers, educators,
students and collaborators.
Submission Deadline: February 1, 2009
We encourage any inquiries or letters of intent by this deadline.
