Call for conference papers: Creativity and Place

School of Geography
University of Exeter

June 23 -25 2010

Deadline for submissions: Friday March 19

Issues of creativity and place are currently of compelling significance as fields of scholarly research, sites of artistic practice and areas of public interest.  This conference invites proposals for papers, sessions and round-tables for a conference on the theme of Creativity and Place.

This conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners from across humanities and social sciences to consider the relationships between creativity and place. Scholars have analyzed the practices and products of artists, musicians, and other practitioners, exploring the relationships of their work to the spaces and places in which they are produced and consumed.  Allied research explores the creative industries, their spatialities, including narratives of clusters and ‘other geographies,’ as well as thinking through the politics of creative labour and the changing geographies of governance within the sector. 

They are looking for papers that explore the range, intensity and quality of the relationships between creative industries, cultural practices and place. 

They welcome participation from all disciplines and from scholarly and practice-led approaches. 

Please send proposals or abstracts of no more than 300 words to the organizers: Dr David .C. Harvey, Dr Nicola, J. Thomas and Dr Harriet Hawkins h.hawkins@exeter.ac.uk

Poll

As an artist, are you aware of the impact your own practice has on the environment?

Yes, and I consider that when chosing processes and materials.

Yes, but it's better to think of the art first, and the materials and processes second.

No, it's not a consideration when I make my art.
