next conference
12-14 JULY 2012, SYDNEY
Held in the third week of the Biennale of Sydney, Together<>Apart will highlight major debates and issues raised by the Biennale’s theme ‘all our relations’. It will focus on how networks of artists, curators, critics, museums, and publics structure art.
journal
One of our core activities is publishing the annual scholarly journal, the “Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art”. It is the principal refereed art-historical journal in Australasia (it is an A ranked journal within the ERA framework). Through publishing in the “Journal”, art-historians can present their research and receive academic accreditation. Since 2006, the editorial board has been Brisbane-based, with Brisbane’s Institute of Modern Art (IMA) operating as the “Journal’s” co-publisher. The editorial board perennially wrestles with competing content and audience issues, and prides itself on its rigorous and multidisciplinary approach encompassing issues at the forefront of the discipline and its ever changing disciplinary and cultural environment.

In this way, we provide a unique platform to promote and recognise art- historical research and publishing efforts in the broadest sense. Read more…
