publishing, etc.
Krebs_Virginia
Wonderful to meet everyone at the conference. It's been such a
privilege to be part of the work group. I'm glad that the
conversations are continuing.
I'd be very interested to contribute to a publication, particularly if
submissions could include alternative format writings (writing-as-art
more than writing-about-art). Depending on the publication, this may
or may not be appropriate. One publication that includes a range of
kinds of writing, which might be appropriate for us (although based in
Croatia) is FRAKCIJA.
Each issue is devoted to a particular subject, and the approaches used
attempt to encompass the manifold areas and perspectives of theory and
academic reflection, but also to include actual artistic practice. This
new direction meant a change in the editorial policy of FRAKCIJA, now
to be based on guest-editors and invited contributors, both scholars
and artists.
This may be too geographically "far out," but if people are interested,
I'd be happy to look into it. January sounds like a great time to work
on this in more detail.
Thanks and best,
Ginger
