Special Issue - Call for Papers
Equal Value? Tangents and Tendencies in Contemporary British Art
This special issue (November 2013) will present a range of perspectives on practices, ideas and debates in relation to art’s function and value in Britain today.
The current economic climate has seen a swathe of cuts to arts and cultural organisations across the country, while imminent changes to the funding of arts subjects in higher education will have a profound effect on the viability of many art departments; on the number and range of courses available and on their student demographic.
In the context of the anti-fees demonstrations of 2010-11 which fomented a wave of cultural protest and gave renewed impetus to debates about art’s relation to politics and the broader culture, we invite reflections on how to evaluate and understand some of the tangents and tendencies of recent art.
