SMT 18 | Between Sensuous and Making-Sense-Of

Studies in Material Thinking, in collaboration with organisers of the conference Image Matter: Art and Materiality (Manchester Metropolitan University, November 2015), is calling for contributions to a special issue of new research articles to be published in late 2017.

Adaptation: ACUADS Conference 2016, QUT Brisbane

2016 ACUADS Conference: Adaptation 29 – 30 September 2016 QUT Creative Industries Faculty, Brisbane Art and design schools across Australia navigate a range of cultural and economic forces.

External industry structures and commercial aims create another set of compulsions. The art and design school is continually asked to define itself against and adapt to the conditions of its environment, a pressure that often runs against the studio’s spirit of enquiry and […]
