[curatorial.net] Axis call for submissions

[Kara Chatten]

Hi all, 
I thought that readers and contributors to this mailing list might be
interested in contribution to our online journal - the next issue is all
about curators and we are looking for submissions. See below:

Axis is looking to commission new writing about contemporary art practice
for our
online journal found in the Dialogue section of the Axis website -
 <http://www.axisweb.org/dialogue> www.axisweb.org/dialogue. We are eager to
commission articles and interviews in
a range of digital media, including video and audio clips and podcasts. A
platform
for contrary opinions and broad discussion, the journal prompts and engages
in
topical debates and critically explores the practice of the artists
represented across
the Axis website.
 
To tie in with the recent launch of Axis's curator directory the next series
of articles
will focus on the role of the curator in contemporary art and current
curatorial
practice - both in the UK and internationally. We are keen to receive
proposals in
relation to this. Areas we are interested in exploring are


*	the development of curatorial approaches, especially by curators at
the
early stages of their careers
*	the relationship between the curator, organisations they represent
(such as
a gallery or museum) and the artist
*	reviews or interviews with curators whose current exhibitions and
projects
follow distinct curatorial strategies

To be considered for a commission all you need to do is send a proposal
outline (no
more than 500 words) and a CV to  <mailto:timandra at axisweb.org>
timandra at axisweb.org. The deadline for
proposals for April's issue is Monday 3 March 2008.
For full submission guidelines please go to  <http://www.axisweb.org/cfp>
