VIS Open Call #17! Editor: Gunhild Mathea Husvik-Olaussen Theme: Touch // Å berøre Deadline: 14 May 2026 To touch, å berøre, at berøre, att beröra, å røre ved, koskettaa, að snerta, at nema, attuinneq, guoskat, guosskat, gaajesjidh, kuoskađ, kuõskkâd, koskea, באַרירן, te čalav. Within the explosive power of touch, micro- and macro-perspectives are seamlessly connected across different scales. In a contemporary world that actively employs isolation and segmentation, exploring the power of touch in relation to artistic practice and expression is increasingly relevant. We seek artistic research that places artistic practice at the heart of the enquiry. Here, artistic investigations and the relationship between art and the surrounding world form the starting point for reflective work. Read more on our website!

Winner Announcement – Best RC exposition! The Executive Board of Society for Artistic Research (SAR) has announced the winner of the Annual Prize for Excellent Research Catalogue Exposition 2024. Leanna Moran, author in VIS #12 ’Contemporary Ar(t)chaeology’, was selected as 2nd finalist with her exposition “Why I Paint Thousands of Circles”. Congratulations Leanna! ⭐️🎉👏 The jury’s motivation: “The exposition ’Why I Paint Thousands of Circles’ shows the fragmented collage of materials as an “ar(t)chaeological archive” and invites an intuitive mode of navigation between both personal and public archival materials. With an auto-ethnographic orientation, this exposition combines highly intimate autobiographical vignettes and newspaper fragments to expose the interweaving and co-relation of the highly-charged personal and socio-political histories within mid 90’s working class North West London. Presented from the position of an emerging researcher, this exposition engages with the Research Catalogue in a very individual, exploratory way, not seeking to present a finished work. The consistency of the presentation, which is presented in a very dense vertical exposition, is its strength – the exposition appears to not be about answering questions, but about consistently asking questions.” Find the exposition on VIS website —> Archive —> Issue 12 Read more about the prize on SAR’s website: /prize-best-exposition-research-catalogue (VIS expositions has won 1st and/or 2nd prize every year since 2020!)
