CFP: Platforms & Visual Art - Session at UAAC (Banff, 19-21 Oct 2023)

Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, May 1–Oct 31, 2023
Deadline: May 31, 2023

We welcome proposals for presentations in our session "Platforms and Visual Art" at the annual University Art Association Conference (UAAC), which will take place Oct. 19-21, 2023 at the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity.

Art 2.0: Platforms and Visual Art

Platforms are increasingly noticeable in the art world, where they facilitate engagement with artworks, artists, galleries, museums, and art fairs, building individual and institutional brands, enabling sales and networking. As Alison Hearn and Sarah Banet-Weiser (2020) argue, platforms “mediate our cultural lives, setting the terms of valuable visibility and influence.” While scholars are addressing how culture is facilitated by platforms (Poell et. al 2021), studies to date focus on user-generated content, where materials are created exclusively on and for digital platforms. How does art created offline figure into the discussion? While social media platforms Instagram and TikTok are image-intensive, others like Artsy, Etsy, Google Arts and Culture, and the European Media Art Platform, are tailored to visual art created offline and experienced through the platform. Exploring these dynamics, this session invites contributions on how artists and institutions utilize platforms and how platforms shape the terrain in which artists produce and circulate work.
