Research Spaces 3: Topos - The Moving Image between Art and Architecture

Conference date: 7th and 8th December 2006

This two-day symposium of papers, films and panel discussions is the
third in a series of yearly interdisciplinary student-run events,
organised by the Slade School of Fine Art and the Bartlett School of
Architecture. Broadly concerned with the determination of subjectivity
within artist film and architectural practices, this event aims to
address a range of topics from articulation of identity to occupation
of space, to film as a spatial construct. While we are concerned with
how the moving image is utilized in research practices across the
disciplines of art and architecture, these investigations are held in
an unresolved balance.

Submissions are requested for papers and films/videos (including
installation works) that deal with issues of presence and absence,
power dynamics of representation, transition of viewpoints, paradoxes
of movement and stasis, places and non-places, utopias and
heterotopias, departures and overstayed welcomes, stations, stands and
stops.

Guidelines for submission of paper abstracts:

- Abstracts maximum 1 page
- Abstracts for 10 page papers (approximately 20 minute presentations)
- Abstracts include title but no author

All Proposals include a cover letter with:

1) title of paper/film
2) name and address
3) phone number

5) college affiliation (if any)
