CRITICAL ANIMALS 2009 – CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Critical Animals, the creative research symposium held during This Is Not Art, is now calling for proposals for papers, panels, presentations, performances and exhibits.
SUBMISSIONS CLOSE MARCH 31, 2009
The symposium brings together students, researchers, writers and artists who are critically engaged in creative and experimental art practices. It is an opportunity to present papers, research material and creative practice with the thought to create discussion and collaboration. All artists, writers, thinkers and part-time philosophers are encouraged to apply. The symposium will take place over three days, from Thursday 1 to Saturday 3 October, in Newcastle, NSW.
Critical Animals is calling for proposals in the following areas:
Papers, panels, presentations
We are keen to receive proposals from artists and students who are researching specific areas of theory and philosophy. Experimental and/or creative presentations are encouraged. We welcome research material on poetics, politics and aesthetics. Please also let us know if there is a particular area of study which you are keen to see represented by Critical Animals, even if it is at the starting blocks of brilliance.
Performances, exhibits, events
We invite artists to perform or exhibit their work. We are especially interested in performances, installations and visual art exhibitions which can be organised alongside conversation or interacted with by other thinkers/artists. This is also a place to propose a Critical Animals events: readings, explorations, tours; beer and Baudrillard at the pub, perhaps.
PROPOSALS
In your proposal please outline your work and the way in which you would like to present it (up to 500 words). Where possible, be specific. Where this isn’t possible, be honest. Critical Animals is not just a conference to present a paper, but a forum for discussion between different artists and research practices. In assessing your proposal we will be looking at how we can program you and your work to form interesting conjunctions with other artists and thinkers. We’re also looking for artists who can be involved in cross-festival events and panels with artists from the other TiNA programs.

Hi Robert,
There is no particular format for proposals we leave that fairly open so you can let your creative juices flow, but something not to length and kinda covers the broad idea of what you would like to say, do, create is always helpful. Plus just include your specifics that are noted at the end of the call for proposals.
Look forward to hearing from you
