Tracey is a peer reviewed electronic journal dedicated todrawing and contemporary issues. It is varied and diverse with a fast growing readership of academics, students and practitioners representing a wide range of drawing interests including fine art, architectural design, graphics, product design and visual communication, ideally any activity in which drawing is essential. In this next invitation for submissions, we are focusing on the theme of Drawing & Technology, particularly in relation to the following questions:
  • Where are the masterpieces of digital drawing?
  • Does digital drawing dissolve the Albertian Window?
  • Does digital drawing dissolve the boundaries between author and viewer?
  • Digital collaboration in drawing - what are the opportunities?
  • Motion capture as pencil in a virtual space?
  • How does drawing in the third and fourth dimension challenge our traditional practices?
  • Can computational modelling advance our understanding of drawing processes?
  • What are the benefits of having an intelligent assistant?
  • Does e-paper change anything?
A submission may constitute drawings or other visual material,texts or research papers that have not been published before or have been published in a different context and also texts and images combined. There is no word or image limit at this stage.

All submissions will be peer reviewed by two members of the peer review panel.

Please visit the site to view our guidelines for submissions and a list of our peer reviewers. Submissions should be accompanied by a summary of content and italics should be highlighted in colour. If text includes images, send images also as separate jpegs.

Curator Wanted
The Square Gallery is keen to show an eclectic / controversial series of exhibitions over the coming year. A fantastic opportunity for a young, dynamic curator keen to take on a highly prominent and unusual exhibition space in the heart of Bristol.

The Square Gallery occupies the ground and basement floors of 15 Berkeley Square, Bristol. The gallery space incorporates the Square which is a leading members' club for the arts and creative industries in the region. In place of the familiar empty white spaces typical of modern galleries the Square Gallery has sofas and offers visitors the chance to have a coffee and a bite to eat while looking at the exhibition.

The venue is keen to show an eclectic, at times controversial, series of exhibitions over the coming year. This a fantastic opportunity. The video artists’ group www.opengallery.co.uk/ are helping select the curator for this opportunity.

The application deadline for this opportunity is 3rd May 2010, the start date will be at some point in summer.
 

If you're interested,  enterpriseoffice@uwe.ac.uk with a CV focused on curatorial experience or similar, and information about these exhibitions. Jpegs /URLs welcome. No emails larger than 500kb in total please.
