The @SawtoothARI
program is a new initiative by Sawtooth ARI that aims to establish a stronger
platform for critical engagement and writing to come from and to the state’s
regions.
With project-based assistance from Tasmanian Regional
Arts and banking on Sawtooth’s already established exhibition program - @SawtoothARI will introduce a
think-tank/pop-up model into our new members’ artshub.
Sawtooth ARI will host ‘thinkers-in-residence’, pop-up
forums/exhibitions/markets/film nights and offer an overall site
for the engagement, discussion of and writing about cultural
material being produced in Tasmania.
Our current Thinker-in-residence is calling for expressions of interest for Critical writing projects to take place @SawtoothARI.
To get involved email sawtoothari@gmail.com with your name, email, phone number and a brief description of a topic you would like to address.
Suggestions:
- calls for information on regional artists/galleries/exhibition spaces/ exhibitions/ARIs
- artists/makers/curators/ media who want to make connections across the region and between ARIs.
- A "Since then ..." response sheet. Artists who have already shown at Sawtooth could fill in a 'Where has your work been seen recently?'
- New Materialism panel
- Events using text/word/voice responses to video/film/projection
This maybe of interest to the 'New Materialism panel' thinkers.

IV Annual Conference on the New Materialisms
'New materialist approaches are increasingly announced, articulated, exercised and contested across a gamut of often entwining research fields from art theory, media studies and feminist philosophy to sociology, gender and sexuality research, and science and environmental studies. In addition to the cross-evolving discussions in these areas, there is growing need to consider the connections but also specificity of new materialisms in relation to many contemporaneous intellectual developments, such as new forms of realism or post-human(ist) thought. Given these conditions, the fourth international conference on the new materialisms suggests that it is crucial to steer clear of “a manifesto quality” when arguing for the distinctiveness and cutting-edge relevance of new materialist approaches, a risk perceptively noted by Barbara Bolt (2013). Instead, theorists and practitioners involved in this endeavour need to inquire with insistence, rigour and creativity what might be the distinguishing concepts of new materialisms, accompanied by associated problems, theoretical inspirations, methodological choices, and socio-political, ethical significances.'

Thankyou for your input Amelia!
ReplyDeleteA belated "many thanks" for this good link (anything that doesn't involve a manifesto is fine by me -- although I'm perfectly happy for others to indulge!) Much applause for "insistence, rigour and creativity".
