Nantes, France, 27-30 October 2010

Deadline: 18 January 2010

Following the success of the ELIA Biennial Conference in Gothenburg in 2008 (hosted by the University of Gothenburg), we are pleased to announce that the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux – Art de Nantes Metropole has invited ELIA to hold its 11th Biennial Conference in the elegant and dynamic city of Nantes, France. The conference will take place at the Lieu Unique (LU), located in the middle of Nantes and surrounded by the city’s art schools and cultural institutions.

Under the title (h)eART(h) - l’art au coeur du territoire, five perspectives on the role of the Arts and Higher Art Education could be addressed and feed the different symposia and discipline sessions:

1. Arts at the heart of the "way of living", questioning behaviours.
2. Arts encourage the emergence of contributors in place of consumers.
3. Arts name and identify territories.
4. Arts meet science and question environments.
5. Arts reinvent and "moralize" customs.

Biennial participants will be selected to present a paper and/or good practice during the symposia and discipline sessions. With this Call for Papers and Presentations we hope to encourage colleagues from ELIA member institutions from all art disciplines to consider contributing to the Biennial Conference 2010. A maximum of 16 presentations for the symposia and 20 presentations for the discipline sessions will be selected. The working language during the Biennial Conference will be English.

To submit proposals, please consult www.eliabiennial.com for more info on themes and sessions, requirements for abstracts and guidelines for submission.
