Call for Abstracts and Panels — Displaying Design: History, Criticism, and Curatorial Discourses

Design exhibitions and exhibition design have a central place in the history of design, providing us with significant milestones for understanding how designers, schools, companies, and organisations have publicly displayed work, values, and ideas. In parallel to the exercise of exhibiting design, either by following the vision of a curator or the programme of a museum or gallery, we have encountered different ways of collecting, archiving and musealizing design and its history.

Artist Interview

We are excited to announce an open call for interviews with social, eco and political artists! Our magazine is an international art publication that features selected artists and writers from around the globe with a high focus on contemporary art and those tackling issues of social, political and ecological justice.
