Australien: 'IMPACT 7: Intersections & Counterpoints'

‘IMPACT 7: Intersections & Counterpoints’ is the world's leading event for contemporary print culture. The conference will bring indigenous, migrant, and regional voices to the fore, with a focus on cultural diversity and creative collaboration.

The event will reflect on the activities of an international community of artists, writers and designers. The conference will bring indigenous, migrant, and regional voices to the fore, with a focus on cultural diversity, creative collaboration, the artists' book, and communication in digital networks.

 

Focus will be on the multiple identity of the print, exploring the cross-disciplinary nature of printmedia internationally and in the context of the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Printmedia will be explored as a heterogeneous, diverse and all pervading aspect of contemporary culture. Often located at the intersections of disciplines and media, it is also a powerful political vehicle, generating discourse and debate by virtue of its wide dissemination and ability to offer counterpoints to the norm.

 

The conference addresses practitioners, writers, critics, artists, theorists, and others working in the broad fields of print-related research. It aims to provide a platform in which practitioners and researchers can engage in a mutually productive exchange. Media identified by the conference will include but not be limited to printmaking, photography, graphic design, drawing, the artist's book, text, animation, and film and digital media. 

 

Monash University invites artists, curators, print studios, writers, academics, collectors, students and industry to submit papers on any aspect of the conference theme. The conference will include themed refereed sessions, poster presentations, exhibitions across Melbourne in major public and private venues, open portfolios, workshops and demonstrations. Abstract deadline is 30 July 2010, proposals for exhibitions, academic poster presentations, workshops and demonstrations, open portfolios, and master classes are accepted by 1 October 2010.
