Journal overview

The Journal of Visual Art Practice is a forum for advances in visual art practices and their critical contexts, engaging with diverse, global and interdisciplinary perspectives. It addresses the multiplicity of debates in art histories, theory and critique, and the inquiries of art practices, methods, and approaches. The journal is concerned with the specificities of art making as well as cross-cutting, inter- and trans-disciplinary explorations, and with the exchange and contestation of ideas and knowledge this forms.

The Journal recognises the value of research into visual art practices through different modes of enquiry and documentation. It welcomes submissions in a variety of formats, including standard articles, reviews, interviews, visual essays, and practice research. We encourage contributions covering a wide range of interests in art and visual art as they pertain to critical, philosophical and cultural contexts, the exploration of methods and methodologies, and interdisciplinary exchange. Overall, the journal seeks to represent the inherent breadth and expansion of visual art practices, their critical reception and social and philosophical impact.

All contributions to the journal are subject to rigorous peer review. We welcome and support submissions from practitioners/scholars across the full range of visual art practices, as well as new voices and collaborative approaches. The journal regularly publishes themed issues – if you are interested in editing a special issue contact the editors with your initial ideas.
