(Update, 19 May 2017: You can now view the conference programme<\/a>.)<\/p>\n (Update, 3 May 2017: You can now view book conference tickets<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Material Futures: Matter, Memory and Loss in Contemporary Art Production and Preservation In the staging of existing works, commissioning of new works, and in planning for their futures, cooperation between contemporary artists and collecting institutions has become key.\u00a0Contemporary artistic practices have prompted a reconsideration of boundaries between the roles of artists and institutional staff, and between processes of art production, exhibition, and preservation. Organised by the University of Glasgow and the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Innovative Training Network \u2018New Approaches in the Conservation of Contemporary Art\u2019 (NACCA), this two-day conference hosted at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow will provide a forum for professionals and students working across different disciplines to discuss urgent questions regarding artwork identity, permanence and impermanence, reproducibility and replication, and the role of the artist and the institution in constructing and maintaining memory. It will explore these questions and other areas where artistic practice, curatorial practice, and conservation decision-making intersect through themes of materiality, memory and loss.<\/p>\n We welcome papers for 20-minute presentations or panel proposals from artists and scholars in\u00a0various fields. It is expected that selected papers will be included in a publication of the proceedings.\u00a0Please send a 250-word abstract and your contact details to \u200b materialfuturesconference@gmail.com<\/a> by the 15th of March 2017<\/b>.
