CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Total Art Journal
Deadline date: unspecified; City: everywhere; Source: Total Art Journal

Total Art Journal is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to establish a dynamic forum for interdisciplinary discourse
grounded in the arts. We are committed to nurturing new ways of understanding and interrogating work that crosses
the practice-theory lines endemic to traditional academic and artistic worlds. The journal takes its name from Alan
Kaprow’s 1958 essay, “Notes on the Creation of a Total Art,” and sees performance, understood as a broad category of
analysis, as central to the post-disciplinarity at stake in the concept of a Kaprowian “Total Art.” Grounded in local
attention, performance here names an approach rather than a discrete artistic practice – an approach that brings with it
new ways of doing work at the intersections of art/life, theory/practice, and academia/activism. The editors seek
submissions of innovative work from any disciplinary background, although work dealing with new and contemporary
practices and work that challenges disciplinary distinctions is especially welcome.

Total Art Journal is comprised of both an online edition and a print edition. Our inaugural web-issue will appear
Summer 2011.

We publish work in the following formats:
1) Peer-reviewed essays of 4,000 - 6,000 words in length.
2) Interviews in traditional and experimental forms, both transcribed and in video format.
3) Manifestos of 1,000 – 2,000 words.
4) Reports written from the midst or in the aftermath of artmaking and/or research practice.

We are also looking to develop other types/forms of projects and welcome proposals for experimental and multi-format
submissions.
