Call for Papers: “Standard Procedure"
The 46th Annual UCLA Art History Graduate Student Association Symposium
October 22, 2011
Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA
Keynote Speaker: Beatriz Colomina
Graduate students in any discipline are invited to submit abstracts for ‘Standard Procedure,’ the 46th Annual UCLA Art History Graduate Student Symposium. To be held on October 22, 2011, the symposium will provide a forum for emerging scholars to take the notion of the standard to task—to map, critique or recast its role in the analysis of art and history. Contributions engaging any artistic medium (sculpture, print media, photography, architecture, film, painting, performance, etc.), period, and region are welcome.
Papers may consider the notion of the standard in relation to artistic production, historiography, or reception. How does art create, embody and respond to standards? How does or should art function under the constraints of a standard? How do artists establish, navigate and critique standards on the level of form? In what ways are their works circumscribed by standards of production? What role do standards play in the art historian’s project? What are the sites premised on the definition of standards (i.e. academies and biennials)? What is the place of standards in processes of exchange, as they encompass issues of legality, the market and documentation? Is the drive to mark standards in art an inherently political one?
Our symposium recognizes the larger context of Pacific Standard Time, a partnership between the Getty Foundation and the Getty Research Institute, which aims to tell the story of art in LA from 1945-1980 through collaborative projects at more than sixty cultural institutions in Southern California. This project promises to address, negotiate and challenge the standards of art history in various ways.
Abstracts of 300 words or less and a current curriculum vitae are due by 5 p.m. on May 15, 2011. Submissions may be e-mailed to standardprocedure@humnet.ucla.edu or sent by mail to:
