Transitory Parerga: Access and Inclusion in Contemporary Art

Art in itself does not include or exclude. However, it is framed by institutions, ideologies, and curatorial paraphernalia that give and withhold access by centralizing contemporary art in Eurocentric urban areas, by creating unpaid or poorly paid employment opportunities, and by catering mostly to non-diverse audiences. The first issue of the journal will be dedicated to the problem of access and inclusion in contemporary art. We invite submissions that discuss access requirements in art institutions, diversity of labor (or lack thereof) in the art sector, disability and access to contemporary art, outsider art, and other topics.
