CALL FOR PAPERS: Collecting, Curating, and Consuming American Popular Graphic Arts Yesterday and Today

A symposium in conjunction with Imperfect History: Collecting the Graphic Arts Collection at Benjamin Franklin’s Public Library in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Graphic Arts Department at the Library Company of Philadelphia on March 25, 2022.

The symposium seeks to examine changing and innovative directions in how historical popular graphic art (i.e., art not traditionally classified as fine art, that is representative of popular culture, and/or is mass produced and consumed) is curated, interpreted, and used and understood by those who produced, viewed, and consumed it.

Cheers to the Passengers of April

Cheers to the passengers, the purposefully lost, jaded anarchists, and the bloodied knuckled pacifists. Welcome friends, new and old, the usuals, the newcomers, the frequenters, and the casually late.

Cheers to the ones waiting in the morning, at their mailbox, for bad news. The unbeaten rolling with the punches.

Cheers to the hurt empathetic, who still leave chinks in their armor for others pain to seep in. Left saturated by suffering, they stand unquenchable.

To the movers and the shakers, the still growers, and the painfully static watching unboiling pots.

We’re traveling a long stretch of road between nowhere and nowhere, and we’re stopping at all the tourist traps.

To the penny-pinchers putting money where their mouths are. Giving pennies for their thoughts.

To the ones not born yesterday, and the ones as old as lows hills.

To the jack of all trades, and the masters of none.

To ones with bites worse their barks who bit off more than they can chew. Barking up the right trees.

To the passed covered in dust, those on the curb soaking wet, and those in the fast lane driving through puddles.

Cheers to the passengers aboard The Number 26.

Thanks everyone for riding along with us on the Number 26. I hope everyone had a great April, and the spring makes you feel energized and empowered- for those in the southern hemisphere, have a great fall! I hope everyone is ready to tackle May.

ICON 11 Call for Papers

Download a PDF of the ICON11 Call for Papers

Academic and professional submissions are invited for peer review for ICON11: The Illustration Conference. The Conference will be in Kansas City, Missouri, from Sunday, June 28 until Wednesday, July 1, 2020. The first two days of the conference are devoted to the Education Symposium and workshops; the second two days of the conference consist of main stage events with speakers, panels and presentations representing a broad range of specialties from the fields of illustration and design.

ILLUSTRATION AS PRIVATE / PUBLIC PRACTICE 

Symposium Date: June 28–29, 2020 

Venue: Epperson Auditorium, Vanderslice Hall, Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City, MO 

Dates for abstracts submission: August 1, 2019 

The ICON11 Education Symposium seeks to explore how educators can inspire students to cultivate their individual voices and perspectives while situating themselves in the marketplace in viable and sustainable ways. The multitude of contemporary mechanisms to create and distribute work have expanded the opportunities for illustrators and redefined the creator/client relationship. How do educators incorporate these realities into their teaching? 

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 

An open call is made for contributions that broaden the understanding of how illustration is changing in the classroom and in practice. Unusual avenues of practice and inquiry are welcome, including both theory and practice-based researchers, academics, illustrators, typographers, designers, painters and artists.

POSSIBLE THEMES MIGHT INCLUDE 

Hand Made: How do we allow for illustration programs to dovetail with classes that teach traditional crafts and media; to apply illustration to media beyond paper? What are cross-institutional opportunities?

Illustrator as Artist: How do teachers encourage a private practice of self-initiated artwork? To what degree is the province of the studio artist explored, the avenue of grant writing and gallery exhibitions? Does this necessitate the creation of entirely separate bodies of work? 

Artist as Author: How is storytelling expanded beyond picture making into incorporated language? Is the narrative a purely personal one, as in memoir? 

The Illustrator in the Marketplace: How do we expose students to opportunities to engage in direct sales, both online and through events? 

Space & Time: The evolution of 3-D, Interactive and Motion-based Illustration (and how to teach it all) 

The Invisible Classroom: How does digital technology affect traditional teaching? What are the flaws and assets of remote teaching? 

Style: How do teachers help students cultivate their own styles? Does individual style matter? 

Thinking Globally, Working Locally: What are topical societal issues that propel students? How can they incorporate matters that matter to them in their work and in their community? 

Collaboration: What are projects that involve collective thinking and making; how are they managed? 

Inspiration: What are processes that effectively jump-start creative brainstorming? 

Artist as Mentor: How can students engage with younger, (or older!), disadvantaged or isolated communities, to share, articulate, and inspire with what they know? 

The Art of Seeing: How do we teach students to look closely, to develop a critical eye, to become thoughtful consumers of visual images and to clearly express what they think about what they see? 

Shifting Realities: How do we keep up with the changing nature of illustration?

Those wishing to participate are invited to submit proposals for research papers and presentations addressing the themes suggested above or other themes pertinent to the current state of the field of illustration and the challenges facing illustration faculty and students. 

ABSTRACT FORMAT 

Initial submissions should take the form of an abstract of up to 300 words. 

Bullet points of key concepts will be accepted. 

In addition to the abstract, please include the presenter’s name(s), affiliation, email and postal address together with the title of the paper and a 150 word biographical note on the presenter(s). These can be as PDF or Word documents.

Please name your abstract document: LastFirstname_ICON11Abstract.

SUBMIT ABSTRACTS BY AUGUST 1, 2019 

Email to Marty Blake: [email protected] 

Acknowledgment of receipt of your abstract submission will be made within 5 working days. 

Selected proposals will be juried by ICON11’s panel of peer reviewers, including Education Chair Marty Blake, Syracuse University and Education Advisor, David Terrill, Kansas City Art Institute. If selected, papers should be from 3000–5000 words including bibliography. Please note: Submissions must follow Harvard system of referencing. 

Authors of selected papers will be invited to present at ICON11, June 28–29, 2020. Presentations will be allowed 20 minutes.

Call for Entries: Breaking Boundaries Deadline: 15.06.2018  IG: #tsvboundaries // Texts and Portfolios: [email protected]

We are proud to announce that we are back after a one-year-break with our call for submissions for our dearly wanted print magazine. Our third issue with the title ‘Breaking Boundaries - On Privacy in the Mobile Photo Age’ will reflect on a very explicit change in our society and the usage of photography. 

“The digital age brought major changes to the usage and consumption of photography. Especially domestic photography, images that were generally shown in private settings, are now exposed in public. Boundaries between privacy and publicity become blurry. This change contains opportunity and misery in one as we expose more of our private lives in public than ever.”

Click here to discover more about our call for submissions...

We are calling up for photographic works on privacy, projects that play with the boundaries of privacy and publicity, photos that have been abandoned from social networks encountering the limits of privacy guidelines, photo series that document the usage of mobile phones and images, essays or academic texts that speak about the transition from domestic to public photography, the usage of social media and their consequences on our privacy.

How to submit?

Hashtag #tsvboundaries on Instagram or send us your portfolio, project or text together with a small description of your work and yourself at [email protected].

The call closes the Friday, 15th of June 2018 at 11:59pm.
