*Call for Proposals*
Paperweight: A Newspaper of Visual and Material Culture
Issue Three: 'Texture'
Drawing together writers, researchers, academics, enthusiasts, designers,
artists and curators, each issue of *Paperweight* takes a timely theme
related to visual and material culture, and uses it as a starting point, or
an end point, or something in-between, to explore the territory from
differing vantage points.
Due for publication in Autumn 2011, the third issue of *Paperweight: A
Newspaper of Visual and Material Culture* is themed around Texture. The
newspaper's editors are keen to hear proposals for contributions from
designers and design historians who work with and around texture—from the
smooth and the shiny, to the rough and the hairy; from fibre and fabric, to
the waxed and the lacquered; and everything else.
Proposals should be submitted to Rebecca Onion (
[log in to unmask]) for material culture subjects or Matt
Lodder ([log in to unmask]) for visual culture topics.
Deadline for Proposals: 15 July 2011
Deadline for Submissions: 15 September 2011
