The Concordia University Doctoral Program in the Humanities and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture(CISSC) cordially invite proposals for papers, workshops and presentations for their 2012 Conference on the Humanities.

eXhibitions focuses on the bridge/link/ground between the Humanities and the Fine Arts. The conference itself will be presented as an art exhibition, with workshops, roundtable discussions, and lectures taking place within a gallery space.

Explorations in painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, installations, textile arts, dance, sound, photo, and moving image may be made (im)material in the form of presentations, collaborations, and interventions that will challenge the space of eXhibitions.

We particularly encourage works that cut across disciplinary boundaries to synthesize unexpected modes of thought and practice, merging discourses in the Fine Arts and all the fields in the Humanities.

Please send a 300-500 word proposal or abstract with supporting documentation (media files or portfolio website links), technical requirements, and a brief biographical note to: humanities.phd@gmail.com

The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2011.

The PhD in Humanities program is a part of The Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (CISSC) at Concordia University. The CISSC is dedicated to promoting advanced interdisciplinary work by creating avenues for research and exchange. Since 1973, students in the program have pursued innovative interdisciplinary research and art-based practice in areas that span the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. http://cissc.concordia.ca/phdinhumanities/

Call for Proposals, Triple Canopy, Due February 13

Proposals are due by midnight on Monday, February 13, 2012 for Triple Canopy's third annual call for proposals. Commissions will be considered under six project areas and published in the course of the next year. Artistic, editorial, and technical staff will work closely with contributors as they develop the best approach to realizing their projects on the Web, from the conceptual phase to the design and technological production. Recipients receive:

• Three to six months of artistic, editorial, and technical support
• Honorarium of up to $300 as well as material costs
• Opportunity to present the project to an audience in the form of a reading, workshop, or discussion
• Opportunity for inclusion in our annual print publication, Invalid Format: An Anthology of Triple Canopy, as well as our ongoing broadsheet series
• Archiving and long-term maintenance of the final project by technical staff

Triple Canopy welcomes artist projects that treat the Internet as a medium and seek to develop ideas that engage with—but reach beyond—its specific qualities and attendant modes of readership and viewership; artful reporting, intelligible philosophizing, distinctive fictionalizing and the like. Because of Triple Canopy's unique interface we encourage writers not to be bound by the standard styles of magazine, art, and academic writing.

Applicants will be notified by March 1 whether their proposals have reached the second round of review. Commission recipients will be announced on April 3. Projects will be developed in collaboration with Triple Canopy for publication in the online magazine (or live presentation in New York) between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities. Working collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers, Triple Canopy facilitates projects that engage the Internet's specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction. In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them. Triple Canopy is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.
