Call for Papers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where do we see art? What impact do exhibition spaces have on how an artwork is received? Who is art created for? Who owns public art? New Voices 2016 encourages delegates to consider art outside of conventional exhibition spaces and to engage in a discussion over the function of art in the public, digital, domestic, religious, and secular spheres.<\/p>\n

Robert Lenkiewicz mural – The Last Judgement (completed 1985)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The location for New Voices this year, Plymouth, has had its own recent controversies when it comes to art in public spaces. In November 2014, Robert Lenkiewicz\u2019s 20ft mural \u2018The Last Judgement\u2019 was removed for conservation purposes from the front of a quayside shop in Plymouth\u2019s Barbican Quarter.<\/p>\n

Upon removing the work, conservationists discovered a second mural that had been covered up by \u2018The Last Judgement\u2019 for more than forty years. This was a giant sketch of a copulating couple. The discovery provoked praise and outrage from the public before culminating in the shop\u2019s owner drilling holes into the mural in April 2015 to secure a wooden board across the figures\u2019 genitalia.<\/p>\n

While of local interest, the recent events relating to Lenkiewicz\u2019s mural raise wider questions about the function, display, security, ownership, history, and future of art outside the gallery. The worldwide socio-political impact of art exhibited outside the conventional gallery space has encouraged artists and curators to create new and innovative methods of engagement that provide alternative models to that of the traditional gallery setting. New Voices 2016 aims to address the growing significance of \u2018Art Outside the Gallery\u2019 within this discourse.<\/p>\n

New Voices welcomes contributions from all periods that address the theme of \u2018Art Outside the Gallery\u2019. Topics may include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
