Southeast Asia-related Papers on Art.

'Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia' is a peer-reviewed, open access, scholarly journal on art and visual culture, published online and in print twice yearly by NUS Press, National University of Singapore. The journal aims to look and listen closely to the discursive spaces of art in, from, and around the region that is referred to as Southeast Asia, from a historical perspective.

'Southeast of Now' welcomes submissions at any time. We are open to proposals for articles and other contributions on any topic related to the contemporary and modern art of Southeast Asia, as well as the region's visual and material cultures, and related areas of inquiry. We invite contributions from scholars working in and between all disciplines and fields of inquiry, as well as from artists, curators, and others.

Abstracts of 500 words, as well as biographical statements of 100 words, should be submitted to southeastofnow [at] gmail.com.
