CALL FOR PAPERS
Sharing the field: Art in the Landscape and Landscape Archaeology.
Conference at UCL Institute of Archaeology on Saturday 30th November 2013.
This one-day conference will bring together artists and archaeologists, with an open invitation to those from related disciplines, to consider the inter-relationships between site-specific art in the landscape and landscape archaeology. The conference will explore the value of artistic approaches to the interpretation of archaeological landscapes - from the deep past to the contemporary past - and conversely how the practice and results of landscape archaeology inform artistic approaches to urban, rural and industrial landscapes.
We invite proposals on contemporary landscape art and archaeology relating to recent or current projects. We are particularly interested in papers from the arts which relate to site-specific installations and/or performance in the landscape and those which can consider new sets of opportunities for artists and archaeologists to collaborate on landscape interpretation. We are also interested in papers which consider the public engagement value of outdoor events including participation in sensory explorations of landscape.
We welcome traditional and creative modes of presentation. Guiding topics to consider but not restricted to include:
• Landscape and archaeological / artistic imagination.
• Disciplinary freedom and boundaries.
• Challenges to artistic approaches.
• The power of image or experience.
• Art, archaeology & destabilising the familiar.
• The creation & funding of collaborations.
• Artists, archaeologists and public engagement.
•
Please send paper proposals (up to 250 words) to Hilary Orange [log in to unmask] and Red Earth [log in to unmask] by 25th October 2013.

APERTURE
This conference is brought to you by the APERTURE - a cultural engagement collaboration between UCL Institute of Archaeology & RED EARTH - http://www.redearth.co.uk/ - an international arts organisation specialising in creating site-specific work (installations & performances) within, and in response to, prehistoric landscapes. The APERTURE project, funded by UCL Arts & Humanities Faculty, is scoping out the potential of cross-disciplinary collaborations and the development of public-facing cultural events linked to a number of current landscape based research projects at UCL.
