Call for Papers: Art & Sound Symposium, 4 July 2015
Theme: 'Place. Art. Life.'
Venue: Phoenix Square and Curve Theatre, Leicester.
The concept of 'place' is prominent across the arts and life in
general. Place can be created or preserved. It encapsulates us,
surrounding our daily lives and driving our philosophies of meaning
and aesthetics.
Place can be manipulated, imagined and abstracted; yet, it continues
to remain as a constant, often long after time has left it behind.
Art & Sound is a symposium series funded by De Montfort University
Leicester, with a special focus on initiating discussion across
disciplines and art forms, and between academics and practitioners. It
aims to run bi-annually, each time taking a new theme and opening up
discourse amongst a greater number of the arts, welcoming
contributions from both the digital and fine arts.
As the first event in a series, we welcome papers from established and
early-career researchers alike, focused on – but not restricted to –
the presence and prevalence of 'place' in art and daily life. The
deadline for the submissions of papers is: 31 May 2015.
Notification of results: 5 June 2015
