.
Unlikely: Journal for Creative Arts – Call for Submissions for two
forthcoming issues

No 3: Art & Herbarium and No 4: Cancelled

Unlikely is a transdisciplinary journal, which opens unexpected spaces
for artistic exchange and scholarly conversations across mediums,
disciplines and continents. Unlikely supports the research community of
practitioners, makers, and scholars working in the creative arts.

This international, peer-reviewed publication presents the opportunity
for artists working in practice-led research to engage in conversation
with a range of arts scholars on contemporary concerns.

As an experiment in form, Unlikely engages its audience and contributors
in a two-stage process of live event, presenting creative practitioners’
works, followed by peer-reviewed electronic publication.

Contributions may take the form of artistic works and their
documentation, as well as scholarly articles. Please download the Call
for each issue and type of works for submission guidelines.

Journal Issue 3: Art & Herbarium

Guest editors: Thomas Bristow and Danielle Wyatt

About: Herbaria and natural history archives must be more than
repositories for artifacts and scientific information. Curators of these
collections are aware that while the archives have always been invested
with human passions, natural collections are now laden with distinctly
contemporary affect as ‘nature’ comes under threat from global
challenges like species extinction, habitat loss and the impacts of
man-made climate change. While natural collections institutions aim to
improve our ecological futures through scientific research, it is clear
that ecological literacy also requires involving diverse publics in more
embodied, empathetic and ethical relationships with the natural systems
that sustain our life on this planet.

Selected proposals for creative or schloarly works will be published on
Unlikely - along with art works commissioned as part as an art
exhibition at Lab14 in March 2017 in Melbourne.

Journal Issue 4: Cancelled

Guest editor: Maia Nichols

About: They say “[t]he time of heroes is over” [1], hoping to bury with
it all forms of heroism. Certain key aspects of society are
irretrievable, crossed out, eliminated. On the one hand, some
purposefully act under the guise of nonchalance, taking up a void status
as strategic positioning. These can be seen to act up “be unruly” or to
act out “behave anti-socially” within the world. On the other hand, the
impetus for Cancelled will be to consider agency and alternative models
of questioning globalized capital, by rethinking the productive legacy
of nihilist strategies and their temporal effects. This exhibition
invites artworks that consider how the fields of communication, hacking,
design, architecture, activism, scientific or artistic practices produce
effects through cancellation, deflection, or discretion.

Selected proposals for creative arts works for Cancelled will be be
exhibited/performed at a live event. This will be either in May 2016 at
the Situation Room in Los Angeles and/or in June 2016 at Eastern Bloc in
Montreal.
