Summer Fellowships 2009 - ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany
Deadline : November 30, 2008

Contemporary Art and the Global Age

The ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany is happy to announce ten international fellowships, supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation in conjunction with the research project GAM - Global Art and the Museum. The scholarships are meant to facilitate participation in an international seminar to be directed by Hans Belting and guests. Seminar participants will analyze the situation of art museums, the art market, and art criticism under the spell of globalization. The seminar will take place from June 21 to July 1, 2009 in Bad Homburg and Karlsruhe and will also include excursions to art institutions. The seminar language will be English.

The seminar
The seminar objective is to bring together a global group of art experts who work in art institutions or other areas of contemporary art. It provides opportunity for knowledge sharing and cooperation with the project GAM at ZKM in order to create a network among the participants. The project GAM was originally initiated by Hans Belting and Peter Weibel for the study of the global turn in contemporary art production. It investigates the newly emerging art world where the modern art concept and the hegemony of western art are in doubt. The seminar encourages the discussion of topics such as the museum situation for contemporary art, new developments on the art market, and the emergence of new audiences. It intends to place an emphasis on art institutions which are important agencies for cultural or national art policy. Case studies are welcome in order to explain the present situation in different territories of global art.

Aplication
The fellowships will cover travel expenses and accommodation for up to two weeks in Germany, plus a grant of EUR 1,200.-- for individual research in Europe. They are intended for art experts and art curators with a publication record. Applicants will be expected to present a significant paper on one of the seminar topics, which will then be published in the GAM book series of the ZKM. Applications must include a proposal for a paper to be written in English, a CV, and a description of the candidate's activities or research. The deadline for the application is November 30, 2008. Fellows will be notified by early January 2009.

Still - M/C - Media and Culture

M/C - Media and Culture
Deadline : 16 January 2008

M/C - Media and Culture is calling for contributors to the 'still' issue of M/C Journal
M/C Journal is looking for new contributors. M/C is a crossover journal between the popular and the academic, and a blind- and peer-reviewed journal. In 2008, M/C Journal celebrates its tenth anniversary.

release date 11 March 2009

M/C - Media and Culture is located at http://www.media-culture.org.au/
http://journal.media-culture.org.au/

M/C Journal was founded (as "M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture") in 1998 as a place of public intellectualism analysing and critiquing the meeting of media and culture. As such, it is fully blind peer-reviewed, but also open to submissions and responses from anyone on the Internet. We take seriously the need to move ideas outward, so that our cultural debates may have some resonance with wider political and cultural interests. Each issue is organised around a one word theme (see our past issues), and is edited by one or two editors with a particular interest in that theme. The editors change for each issue. Each issue has a feature article which engages with the theme in some detail, followed by several shorter articles.
