Coloring Outside the Lines: Exhibitions That Cross Boundaries

Proposals due January 4, 2016

The fall 2016 issue of Exhibitionist (soon to be Exhibition) invites proposals about hybrids, crossovers, and combinations: exhibitions that—by mixing things up—push  boundaries, convey content in novel ways, provide unique visitor experiences, provoke new ways of looking, and lead us in new directions (and/or to new audiences).

Topics might include (but are not limited to) interdisciplinary exhibitions (for example, combining art, science, natural history, history, etc. in inventive ways); exhibitions that incorporate performance in a unique fashion; or spaces that walk a narrow line between program and exhibition (such as, for example, maker spaces).

The exhibitions (or installations) analyzed can be of any size, and take place in any of a variety of spaces: museums of all disciplines, historical sites, galleries, institutions that collect and display living collections, outdoor public spaces, or other environments. Proposals should indicate what approaches, strategies, or knowledge readers will take away from the article. In addition, if a proposal focuses on a single project or institution, it should raise questions or throw light on larger issues that are widely applicable.

Proposals might come from designers, developers, interpretive planners, curators, architects, educators, collection managers, or others who create and contribute to exhibitions. Submissions from colleagues and students around the world are welcomed and encouraged.

Proposals due January 4, 2016, 250 words maximum.

Once accepted, completed articles—with four to five high-resolution images, captions, and credits—will be due March 30, 2016 (2,000 words maximum).
