Call for papers
We are soliciting contributions for a new issue of the webjournal
www.on-curating.org, which is an international magazine connecting curators
and art theorists.

The planned issue is concerned with the subject
Reinterpreting Collections - Ephemeral fashion or new era?

The topics to be discussed are:

- New ways of curating art collections
- Participation. Integration of artists and the audience into exhibition
planning, reinterpretation and collection decision-making
- Insertion of contemporary artworks into historical art collections or
museum collections
- Is exhibiting collections a makeshift in times of tight budgets and
decreasing blockbuster exhibitions, or is there a changed awareness to
appreciate its own value?
- How to make art collections more attractive
- Curating art collections according to specific readings like gender
studies, postcolonial studies, ecological, or other interpretations

In case you are interested in contributing an article up to 4 pages (incl.
images) on one of the above mentioned themes, please submit an abstract
(maximum 500 words) in English as a separate Word file to:
marjatta.hoelzgmx.de

A committee will then decide on the final selection.
