“Data as Art” Exhibition: Call for Submissions

As we celebrate 10 years of the Bioinformatics Support Hub at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, we invite you to share your visual responses to the prompt “Data as Art.“ Though data representations hold specific scientific meaning, some datasets and data visualizations also possess inherent artistic sensibility on their own.

Cultivating an appreciation for data as art can reframe our conception of data as orderly, objective evidence into iterative, multifaceted artifacts produced in the non-linear search for new knowledge. We invite you to submit "data as art” in conversation with this idea. All selected entries will be on display in the rotunda of the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library from late August 2024 to January 2025. 

Data as art refers to representations of data (visualizations and aggregations of the data) with an aesthetic. Any data representation – as long as it does not contain personally identifying information – is eligible if the submitter believes the work is artistic or conveys meaning beyond the information encoded in the data itself. Consider submitting a data representation born from a mistake but that led to something aesthetically beautiful. 
If you’re passionate about merging science and art, this call is for you! Let’s transform data into art and showcase the beauty beyond the numbers together. 

Deadline: April 30, 2024. Full information > | Link to apply >

Arquetopia Artist Residencies in Mexico, Peru, & Italy

Now in its 14th year, Arquetopia Foundation is a multiple award-winning nonprofit arts and academic foundation with a social scope that is internationally established on three continents. Our mission emphasizes critical thinking, a commitment to reciprocity, and a sense of ethics at the core of all artistic practices. Our customized, professional International Artist-in-Residence Programs are among the largest and most reputable worldwide, with a model in constant flux, offering a wide range of distinct learning opportunities. All of our multinational artist residency programs are autonomous, unique, research based, and founded on social creativity, thus, providing an array of content anchored in local knowledge, critical academic perspectives, and a solid structure of collaborations with renowned experts, and notable artists. Our residency sites are located in four distinct artistic regions selected for their historical importance, influence and artistic contribution to the world: Puebla and Oaxaca both in southern Mexico, Cusco in Peru, and Naples in southern Italy.

Considering how dominant visual culture has contributed to the invention of Mexico, Peru, and Italy in popular imagination, at Arquetopia, we learn from local epistemologies and models of resistance as a source of knowledge to contribute to social change. We are invested in approaching creative practices with critical perspectives to challenge all preconceived notions of “history” and “place,” and through the use of dynamic language, we question the idea of the body as a fixed identity in the process of rethinking space and time. Through the years, we have successfully created a generous space where different perspectives meet and address important questions on the legacy of art history and the current state of the world.

Triple Canopy Publication Intensive

June 10–21, 2024

What: The Publication Intensive is a two-week program in the history and contemporary practice of publication for recent college graduates, graduate students, and early-career practitioners. Triple Canopy’s editors and collaborators lead discussions and workshops with participants, who research, analyze, and develop projects that engage with contemporary technologies while mining the history of print culture and artistic practice.

The program addresses such questions as: How have artists, writers, and technologists used publications as vehicles for material experimentation, political expression, and the cultivation of audiences? What defines a publication today, and how is that definition complicated by shifts in labor conditions, technologies, and readerships? How does publication drive efforts to organize people and test out new ideas?

Where: The program will take place at Triple Canopy’s venue in Manhattan, and will include visits to publishers, archives, cultural institutions, and the studios of artists and designers.

When: June 10–21, 2024. Sessions are held Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. (with some variation).

Call for papers: Pose, Power, Practice: New Perspectives on Life Drawing
Symposium held in person at the Courtauld Research Forum, London, UK
20 June 2024

From the sixteenth century to the present, drawing the human body from life has remained a mainstay of Western institutional art practice. Despite significant shifts in the aesthetics, media, and purpose of art over the last five hundred years, life drawing endures in both the studio and the classroom. 
 
Pose, Power, Practice is a one-day symposium that seeks to reassess the state of the field on life drawing and apply new critical frameworks to this sustained practice. It aims to better understand life drawing in all its complexity, from its presumed advantages to its consequences. This is a practice deeply intertwined with concerns central to the discipline of art history, including but not limited to: the power dynamics of the gaze; the politics of representation; recognition of multiple forms of artistic labor; formulations of race, dis/ability, gender, and sexuality; and critiques of institutions. How has life drawing changed across time and place? How and why has it endured as a pedagogical practice, despite repeated dismissals of its “academicism”? What uses does it hold today, for artists and art historians alike? 
 
We invite studies that unearth the specificities of life drawing to interrogate larger questions of ethics, labor, power, and potential in the life studio. Papers might attend to any and all aspects of this practice, from the models who pose, to the materials used, to the dynamics of the environments—formal and informal—in which life drawing takes place. We welcome papers that consider artistic engagements with drawing the human figure from life across all regions and periods, historical and contemporary. 
 
This symposium aims to bridge connections and bolster dialogue across specialist scholarly communities by centring this shared subject of concern, while also inspiring broader understandings of what constitutes expertise in this field. We therefore encourage applications from all scholars and practitioners of life drawing, including students, artists, and models, in the UK and abroad. In addition to 20-minute conference papers, we welcome creative or collaborative submissions.
 
Pose, Power, Practice will take place at the Courtauld’s Vernon Square campus in person on Thursday, 20 June 2024. The programme will be recorded and subsequently shared on the Courtauld’s YouTube channel. Speakers will be further invited to participate in a workshop in The Courtauld’s Prints and Drawings Study Room on 21 June 2024. Partial reimbursement for travel and accommodation may be available. In addition, we are planning a remote component of the symposium earlier in the week in collaboration with The Drawing Foundation, so if you are unable to travel to Vernon Square please do submit an application and indicate this preference.

Speakers will be notified by 5 April. If you have any questions, please contact Zoë Dostal or Isabel Bird.

Examples of Art courses can be found here.

This position is for the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with the possibility of renewal for a second year (subject to performance review and funding).

CALL FOR ARTISTS  | Making Contact: Haptic, Temporal, Spatial, and Conceptual Connections 

Exhibition held in conjunction with the Fifth Biennial Graduate Student Art History Symposium hosted by the Department of Art History & Archaeology at the Washington University in St. Louis, February 23–24, 2024.
 
Contact, in its many forms, has long been an impetus for artistic creation. Cultural, physical, geographical, technological—artists have responded to these forms of contact and cultural exchange or appropriation in myriad ways. Not only are there recent resonances to this topic, but there is also a much longer history that can be explored in regard to “contact”—one that is messy, contested, and complex. This exhibition will examine artistic engagement with the implications of contact, broadly conceived, allowing for the exploration of haptic, temporal, spatial, and conceptual forms of connection and exchange. 
 
We especially welcome proposals related to modes of contact that include, but are not limited to: 

• Cultural transfer, exchange, appropriation, rejection
• Hybridization, conflation, and convergence of imagery, materials, and practices  
• The mobility of people, materials, and objects 
• Contact in colonial and imperial contexts 
• The effects of migration 
• Responses to a lack of contact during the COVID-19 pandemic  
• Real, virtual/digital, and imagined travels through time and space 
• Contested histories of contact  
• Explorations of modes of contact in artmaking (e.g. printmaking techniques) 
• Contact in border zones, frontiers, and liminal spaces
• Tactility and non-tactility: touch and its alternatives 

Current and recent studio art graduate students are invited to submit a portfolio, an artist statement, and a current CV by December 15, 2023. In your email, please include your full name, academic affiliation, level of graduate study, artwork title(s), the dimensions of your artwork(s), and all installation requirements. Please email applications to gsahs@wustl.edu.  
 
Selected artists will be notified by late December. Modest honoraria will be provided to artists to offset the cost of travel and accommodations.

Applications due December 15, 2023. Full information >
