November 8, 2021Jobs

Artlink magazine is calling for writer’s proposals for the April 2022 issue, Art/Write. The genre of contemporary art writing (and reading) constitutes a vast uneven meta-field of multiple agendas and formats, from scholarly informed art history to provocative criticism and short-form social media. This issue invites proposals from art writers across all disciplinary areas, backgrounds and generations. Using Artlink’s 40-year archive (1981-2021) as a stimulant, we welcome ideas that engage with critical, curatorial and historical writing, visual essays, speculative prose and experimental texts.

The journal Perspective: actualité en histoire de l’art will devote its n ° 2023 – 1 to the question of obscurity in its multiple meanings – shadow, darkness, non-knowledge, negativity . A discipline based on the study of the visible, art history is necessarily interested in what is brought to light and can be seen.
