Black Fox, London, by Katrina Palmer (2020)
Arrhythmia – a new Book Works open submission series guest-edited by Katrina Palmer
Theme
Guest-edited by artist Katrina Palmer, Arrhythmia is a new series that offers an opportunity for artists and writers whose work explores ideas of being out of joint with the predominant social order, whether through disrupted trajectories, physical displacement, or political dissonance. We are particularly interested in experimental work that articulates a discontinuous sense of identity, and writing, or the combination of writing and images in which the rhythm of the text is self-consciously questioned.
Open Submission
Three proposals will be selected for publication from this open submission. Arrhythmia follows previous series commissioned from open call, including: Semina, G.S.O.H The Rest is Dark, The Rest is Dark, Common Objectives, Contact, and our most recent open submissions series, Interstices, guest edited by Bridget Penney.
We want to develop a project with you and are not looking for completed works in search of distribution. We are interested in ideas that can be shared and realised through our editorial process, or works already in progress that would benefit from development through our editorial and publishing process. We would encourage projects that also have the potential to disseminate beyond the printed page – as performance, spoken word, sound or digital images, especially where such possibilities are integral to the process of developing the text.
Work can be submitted from UK and internationally based individuals, groups or collectives, in English language only. We are interested in submissions from artists and writers often unrecognised by mainstream institutions, and in particular those from the African Diaspora, liberation groups or whose minority identity has historically marginalised them.
Fee
Book Works will offer a fee to the three commissioned artists or writers of £1,250. There will also be a small budget allocated for expenses and travel.
Please visit the Book Works website for full details of how to apply.
