CALL FOR PAPERS
Beyond Jewellery: Performing the Body
Keynote Speaker: Di Mainstone
Thursday March 17th 2016
Birmingham City University
ABOUT: the CALL OUT
We invite speakers to take part in the Beyond Jewellery symposium to coincide with the exhibition flockOmania2, an exhibition and live performance event which crosses boundaries between jewellery and dance (please see web link for further information). Located within the field of contemporary art jewellery and with a keynote presentation from Di Mainstone, this symposium explores the relationships between sculptural objects, the body and performance. In doing so, Beyond Jewellery offers a space to interrogate and reflect upon interdisciplinary projects interested in the body as a meeting place or nexus for collaboration.
Proposal submissions might include (but are not limited to) the following themes:
· OBJECTS – embodied objects, wearable objects in motion and in performance, artefact as performance, experiments with scale and materiality
· BODY – notions of the post-human body, inter-subjectivity in performance, the mediated body and haptic knowing
· COLLABORATION – creative partnerships, co-creating and emerging process orientated making practices
· BOUNDARIES – interdisciplinary adventures, blurring boundaries and disciplinary rule-breaking
· PERFORMANCE – composing the object, activating objects through performance, sonic landscapes, sites of sensorial investigation and temporal relationships
· AUDIENCE – engagement and interaction, performative making, playful encounters and audience as co-creators
The symposium will offer a space for discussion, engagement, debate and experimentation, and aims to initiate dialogue around the role of the body in creative practice. We invite proposals from scholars, artists and research students in a range of modes and formats including: 20 minute papers, curated panels, artists talks, film, performance lectures, 10 min lightning talks, and performative interventions.
