written entirely by grad students
Call for submissions

Faculty, please send this on to all your grad students. It’s an anthology of visual studies, art history, visual communications, visual anthropology, and visuality in general, including science. All graduate students, in any field, are eligible. The book will be published in 2013.

Thanks! — Jim Elkins, Editor

All grad students are eligible
If you are studying for an MA, MFA, or PhD, or if you received your PhD in the last six months, you can contribute texts to this book.

The book is international and collaborative:
It began with a group of students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and now it includes about thirty students from 20 institutions around the world.
Have a look at our Table of Contents to see how the book is developing.
This is our first international mailing: we hope to include scholars, critics, and artists from over 60 nations.
As the book grows, so does the community of editors. Everyone who joins the Reader can make suggestions about everyone else’s contributions: you will have final say over your own contribution, but you’ll also be involved in conversations with all the other participants.

The first fully collaborative, student-run publication on visual studies

The visual world is changing so fast that no conventional anthology can capture it. Our idea is to record the current shape of visual studies, across disciplines, as it is experienced by the upcoming generation of scholars and artists.
We are gathering a group of about 100 authors. After we have completed a rough draft of the book, we will post the entire manuscript on our Wiki, and allow everyone on the internet to suggest changes, Wikipedia-fashion.
After a further year of editing, in 2012, the entire book will be published by Routledge, and advertised and disseminated internationally. To apply, visit the wiki for full information:

Visual Studies Reader

and then send us a two-page description of what you’d like to contribute. Your proposal will be read by the grad-student authors who are currently in the project (the editor, Jim Elkins, doesn’t vote). Full instructions are on the wiki:

Visual Studies Reader: How to apply

iamiam started with the idea to present artist and examen works from art and design students all over Europe. Due to the fact that there are a lot of good works from students out there but hardly no possibilities to see them, the idea of a common internet portal focusing on the output from art and design students in Europe was born. iamiam.org allows graduates from art and design schools as a free service to showcase their final year projects (images and/or movies, concept, professors) and to receive feedback on their work. Additionally they can comment and evaluate their school or university and provide helpful information for orientation in the scene. In 2008 iamiam started with “INSIGHT”, where you can have an overview of presented works on open days and year exhibition shows all over Europe.

The idea is to get a more and more complex picture of what is going on in art and design in the respective countries and across Europe.iamiam - Art + Design now!

Hello,
We are a group of students from the digital media and design departments at HfK University of the Arts Bremen, Germany.

Our project 3iarts has the intention to show the diversity artworks and projects in Fine Art, Music, Design, Digital Media and many other artistic disciplines, created at universities of the arts around the world.

For the last year we have put a lot of effort into the project, find out about it at: http://3iarts.net
It is becoming a network of international, interdisciplinary and integrative universities of the arts.
The idea is to give students a free and advertisement-free platform to present their work - and by these means - to create a dynamic and vivid network of universitary artwork.
Now, we have relaunched our online-gallery.
You can link flickR photos, youtube and vimeo videos to your profile, get an url to your own online-portfolio on 3iarts.net, and give tags to describe your artwork.

we hope you take a look, join our platform and spread the word to other students that might be interested.

best regards
the 3iarts-team
