Alternative Venues: Artists' Solo Shows and Other Exhibits beyond the
Academy and the Salon, 1700-2000

I am putting together a volume of essays devoted to the subject of
single-artist, thematic, and single-object exhibitions from the
eighteenth century through the twentieth, organized and displayed
outside of academic jurisdiction, in most cases by the artist
her/himself. It is tentatively called Alternative Venues. Essays will
explore the functions, meanings, organizational and visual structures,
and/or successes/failures of artists' solo shows (e.g., Courbet's
Pavilion of Realism), exhibitions of thematically unified work by a
single artist (e.g., Fuseli's Milton Gallery), and displays of single
art objects (e.g., David's Intervention of the Sabine Women). It is my
hope that the collection as a whole will highlight the innovation and
modernity of such exhibitions, while perhaps setting their motivations
and functions into relief against similar displays in the contemporary
art world, where the solo show is the benchmark of artistic success for
the living artist.

Publishing interest has already been expressed by a very reputable
press, famed for such volumes of art historical essays. Please send a CV
and 3-5 page abstract by December 1, 2011 to Andrew Graciano, Associate
Chair and Graduate Director, Department of Art, University of South
Carolina, 1615 Senate Street, Columbia, SC 29208 USA or by email at
gracianomailbox.sc.edu. Participants will be notified in January 2012.
Full drafts of accepted essays are due by March 2012. Projected
publication date is early to mid 2013.
