Vilnius Academy of the Arts | Call for Contributions: Landing #2 - Twenty Second Reverb
Landing is an international platform that facilitates critical and creative artistic inquiry, with a special focus on research methods and an ethos of research.
Landing investigates knots of not-knowing by asking questions and by staying with doubts. The invitation is to disclose and elaborate ways of doing in a manner which welcomes others into the world of an artist-researcher’s practice with all its idiosyncrasies. They recognize tensions and biases within artmaking and research, rooted in ideologies and imaginary expectations. Landing seeks contributions that find form conducive to communicating methods, aiming to operate as an open conversation and resource for fellow practitioners.
The second issue of Landing invites propositions to convene around lingering and documentation as forms of archiving.
How to Apply?
Landing accepts proposals in the form of expressions of interest (not abstracts) that detail how a process that is in motion might be communicated. Expressions of interest, once developed into contributions, are evaluated and accepted or sent forward to peer review.
We welcome contributions that present a lucid fit between the artistic research inquiry and the form of a printed journal. A thoughtful blend of open questions, photo series, instructions, recipes, workshop plans, descriptions of processes, interviews / transcriptions of focused dialogue and anecdotes as expressed in image / text / caption etc. In short, elaborations that reveal the “kitchen” behind the research (the meal).
Landing is a methods based journal, and they are interested in process, the doing side of things and not theoretical analysis. Contributions invited and accepted after the expression of interest phase should not exceed 3000 words. Issue 2 does not publish Research Catalogue expositions.
For the expression of interest, using a maximum 2-page PDF document, send them a 500 word description with images / illustrations as required that includes the following points:
- The context of your practice / research
- Form of contribution and why it’s a good fit with your inquiry
- Details of methods you wish to communicate about
- Pertinent questions, doubts and main arguments
