College Art Association 98th Annual Conference 2010
Chicago, Illinois, February 1013
Call for Participation
Deadline: May 8, 2009
PANEL: The Photographic Act: Encounter, Event, Configuration Network
Chairs: Damian Sutton and Ken Neil
The onset of digital technologies has served to underline once
more the photographic act as a ³concrete encounter² (W. J. T.
Mitchell) and critical event. The photographic act can be seen as
a configuration (Badiou) of viewer, camera, and object in the
momentary, with the practice of the photographic artist situating
itself in Bourriaud¹s ³engineering² of social situations. In addition,
the photographic act as a type of Actor-Network (Callon, Latour,
Law) offers a privileged view of how contemporary art practice is
instrumentally reliant upon the creation of social interactions.
The session chairs invite abstracts from contemporary researchers in art
practice, art theory, art and philosophy, and art and society to discuss the
instrumentality of photography, film, and video in art practice as critical
and political intervention.
A post-conference book proposal is also being considered for this panel.
Contributions from practitioner artists are also welcome - please send a
presentation abstract as well as any artist¹s statement or work description.
All submissions must follow the CAA guidelines and use the PDF form on the
CAA 2010 homepage (http://conference.collegeart.org/2010/), documents can be
mailed or emailed to the panel chairs at [log in to unmask]
