Session: Systems of Value: Creating a Market for Photography 1950–1990

Until the 1950s, very few spaces existed in the United States or Canada for
exhibiting and, in particular, selling photographs. Throughout that decade,
however, dedicated photography galleries began to open in New York, San
Francisco, Boston, and elsewhere. Over the next thirty years, photography
gradually emerged as a dynamic and eventually lucrative force in the
market, culminating in the so-called Photo Boom of the 1970s. At the same
time, photography became increasingly pervasive in often divergent ways
within the contemporary art market at large. Key to these developments was
an array of institutions, individuals, strategies, and systems dedicated to
cultivating new audiences and promoting photography as a medium worthy of
collection. These included museum and university departments, auctions,
galleries, publications, and symposia; and the activities of collectors,
curators, dealers, critics, educators, and photographers.

This panel invites papers that explore the evolution of the market for
photographs, including its impact on establishing systems of power and
prestige that continue to operate to this day.

Subject: CFP: "Dominican Art Studies"

2021 Online Conference of the Universities Art Association of Canada,
Deadline: May 16, 2021

Perhaps due to coexisting in the main Cuba’s shadow or because during
lustrums some of its most renowned artists resided abroad, perhaps because
there has normally been a lack of tradition on its art studies or because
of a lack of unity to make its productions known overcoming the prejudices
and the distortion on the Dominican Republic, it is true that western and
even Ibero-American historiographies have reserved during decades a nominal
place to the underestimated and unknown art history of this country. For
this reason, the present session invites proposals considering a new
research from a historical or a contemporary point of view in any aspect of
the Dominican art: from Taino’s creations until nowadays conceptions and
from any artistic influence received in to the impact of its artists and
works in any part of the world.

Keywords: Dominican art, the Dominican Republic, unknown art history,
influence, impact

Subject: CFP: Pedagogy Caucus: Post-Pandemic Pedagogies

2021 Online Conference of the Universities Art Association of Canada, Oct
20–23, 2021
Deadline: May 16, 2021

What will your teaching look like as we slowly shift back to the classroom?
Most art and art history classes were drastically altered when the pandemic
hit as we moved our teaching online. This change
led many of us to reconsider and reconceptualize our pedagogical
approaches, including new technologies and techniques for remote teaching
and learning. Awareness of racial and social injustices, exacerbated by the
COVID pandemic, has also required new approaches to anti-racist and social
justice-informed pedagogy. This session invites short papers that address
what has been gained from the pivot to online teaching as we now look to
the future of our “classrooms” in the post-pandemic world. We are
particularly interested in exploring pedagogical practices, assignments,
and course design created in response to the pandemic that will be carried
forward to the in-person classroom or into a newly conceived hybrid
environment.

Subject: CFP: Complicated Politics in Contexts: Participation in Art in
Asia

online, Oct 20–23, 2021
Deadline: May 16, 2021

Art historians and performance art scholars have discussed participation as
a radical method generating political power in art, particularly against
capitalism, the institutionalization of art, and patriarchy. While this
discourse grew primarily from Euro-North American contexts, artworks in
Asia, from the East to the South, show different conceptions and
materializations of participation within the experiences of colonialism and
decolonization and the disparate temporalities of contemporaneity,
modernization, and economic development. Participation in these examples,
thus, takes various subjects —artist, audience, or art—, diverse
forms—painting, theatre, popular culture, and theory—and contrasting
ends—art’s social engagement, the advanced avant-garde art, and the
material and intellectual development of the nation. As such, they
complicate and sometimes object to the presumed politics of participation.
Focusing on the variegated kinds of participation in art in Asia, this
session welcomes presentations from art historians, artists, and scholars,
whose investigation and practices would expand the geographical,
historical, and political topography of participation.
