“Do you get it?”
46:2 | Wirltuti / Spring (August – November 2026)
Artlink invites writers to submit an Expression of Interest for publication “Do you get it?”.
As global crises escalate, issue 46:2 focusses on wit, humour, and satire in contemporary art as a means to subvert, unsettle, and criticise… and to have a good laugh. The writing will also explore the ethical and paradoxical nature of comedy in art, who’s telling the joke and how, and where we might find shared punchlines as our collective humanity is being interrogated from all sides. In the seriousness and complexity of such precarity, can we afford the joke at all?
We encourage inventive responses to the theme and welcome a range of formats: scholarly (or witty) essays, critical (or ironic) reviews, (provocative) interviews and co-authored submissions. Artlink highlights writers and artists, curators, and collectives working in Australia and the Asia-Pacific within a global context. We commission articles between 800–3000 words for print and digital publication.
Please use the form below to submit your 150 words (max) Expression of Interest.

One would assume that concepts are conceptualised in the mind of the conceiver. However, ideas or concepts have a precarious disposition–they move through sound, frequency, objects, matter and form. In his Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689), 17th-century philosopher John Locke argues that the mind never apprehends external objects directly, rather only as ideas […]

Issue 45:3 | Warltati / Summer 2025
Despite its art historical invisibility, parenthood is an evergreen subject for artists — mothers especially. The Mother Issue illuminates parenting as a generative force set with enduring challenges. Drawing together case studies, curatorial initiatives and subjective accounts from Australia and Aotearoa / New Zealand, writers investigate the myriad ways mother-artists conceptualise and deliver creative work against a backdrop of technological and generational change.
