Deadline: March 17, 2017.
The online, peer-reviewed journal for the publication and
discussion of artistic research is calling for submissions.
JAR publishes artistic research from all arts disciplines,
with or without academic affiliation, and includes the work of artistic
research practitioners and theorists. Rethinking the traditional journal
format, JAR offers its contributors a free-to-use online space called the Research
Catalogue (RC) where text can be woven together with image, audio and video
material. Developed over the last five years, the RC’s functionality is
continually being updated to better display research practice in a manner that
respects artists’ modes of presentation, while incorporating web-enabled
possibilities for collaboration, debate and discussion. JAR promotes
experimental approaches to the ‘writing up’ of research and provides a unique
‘reading’ experience, while carefully fulfilling the expectations of a
peer-reviewed academic journal.
While JAR’s remit is broad, the Journal is specifically
interested in contributions that reflect upon and expose artistic practice as
research, and welcomes submissions from artists interested in exchanging ideas
and opening up the processes and methodologies that underlie their practice.
To be considered for Peer Review, the editorial board
considers:
-Whether the exposition exposes artistic practice as
research. This goes beyond simply documenting, describing, or writing about
work. It engages with questions and claims about knowledge within practice. For
a detailed articulation of this read the editorial JAR0.
-The degree to which the exposition is conceptually and
artistically strong, considered, and significant to the field.
-Whether the multimedia and design capacities of the RC have
been used effectively and meaningfully to support the argument or understanding
of the research.
To submit an article, contributors are required to register
for an account on the RC and use the online writing space to layout and expose
their research. JAR provides editorial and technical guidance with these
processes.
The deadline for consideration is March 17, 2017. For guidelines
