CALL FOR PAPERS Exhibiting Video – International Conference Date: 23 – 25 March, 2012 In March and April 2012 Ambika P3, the flagship exhibition space at the University of Westminster, will present a major solo exhibition of the influential pioneer of video art, David Hall. The new commission '1001 TV Sets (End Piece)' 1972-2012 will involve a spectacular sculpture of 1,001 cathode ray tube TV sets. Each will be tuned to a different analogue station playing randomly until, between April 4 and April 18, the last analogue signals are broadcast from London’s Alexandra Palace. To mark the occasion the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) of the University of Westminster is convening Exhibiting Video, a three-day event considering issues central to the display of video art. Bringing together notable artists, curators and writers the event will provide a forum for a number of related questions: On what terms has the rise of video in contemporary arts taken place? How do notions of medium specificity and site specificity shape video art work made for exhibition? What is the legacy of analogue video technology in the digital age? How do our museums and galleries understand video art? DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS We welcome proposals for papers of a maximum of 30 minutes addressing any one of the above. Send abstracts of no more than 250 words. They must include the presenter's name, affiliation, email and postal address, together with the title of the paper and a 150-word biographical note on the presenter. Abstracts should be sent to Helen Cohen at [log in to unmask] and arrive no later than Wednesday 1 February 2012.
