Upcoming Issues
THE CONFERENCE: Papers from the 2008 AAANZ conference in Brisbane. In preparation.
ART AND ENTERTAINMENT: What relation does art have with entertainment today? Are they simply antithetical? The new Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, with its screen-based presentations, interactive exhibits, and emphasis on children’s activities, effectively implies a new visual economy for art. As well, within the academy, there is an increased insistence on seeing art as part of a wider spectrum of 'visual culture' or 'creative industries'. What are the assumptions behind these various moves? What would it mean to see art as a form of infotainment or even entertainment? And what does this say about the possibility of art criticism? Are we headed into a new 'post-critical' realm for the plastic arts? And where, within the realm of the 'high' arts themselves, can we see the early signs of such tendencies? Can we go back to pop art, or even further, to see this merging of art with mass culture? Expressions of interest for contributions should be made by April 2010.
OPEN ISSUE: Expressions of interest for contributions should be made by 30 June 2010.
