Deadline: September 7th 2009

Modern Art Asia is a new journal dedicated to the arts of Asia from the
eighteenth century to today, presenting postgraduate research from
historical perspectives and international news on Asian art. Combining
peer-reviewed articles with insightful commentary and the latest exhibiton
reviews from international correspondents, Modern Art Asia provides a new
forum for exchange between scholars that crosses the boundaries of
traditional academic disciplines, and engages with a general readership
through the addition of journalistic writing on art.

Modern Art Asia invites postgraduates working on the arts and material
cultures of Asia from the eighteenth century to the present to submit
previously unpublished papers of 4,500-10,000 words for publication.
Modern Art Asia aims to take an interdisciplinary and innovative approach
to the study of Asia, and will consider papers on media and experiments
that stretch the parameters of 'fine art'. Our first issue will be
published online during the last week of October, to coincide with Asian
Art in London and Frieze;

the submission deadline for this issue is September 7th.

We are also seeking students and journalists interested in becoming
regular correspondents or in submitting shorter journalistic pieces.

Word limits: Academic papers: 4,500-10,000 / Correspondence and opinion
pieces: 500-1,000 words / Exhibition, book, performance reviews: 500-800
words
