CALL for Submissions: TAP Review Spring 2016
The spring 2016 issue of the Trans Asia Photography Review will be open to all topics, so that the editors can become aware of, and publish, new work that might not fit a specific theme. We welcome proposals relating in any way to historical or contemporary photography in or from Asia. We are also taking this opportunity to broaden our base in two ways. For the first time, we invite artists to submit their photo-based work directly (see guidelines below). And we are expanding our geographic base beyond Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia to include Central Asia and West Asia.
Please use the following formats to submit proposals:
Article (length open). Your proposal should contain an abstract and the author’s CV, sent to editor@tapreview.org.
Curatorial project (12–20 images with introductory text). Your proposal should contain up to 10 thumbnail images in a pdf file, not to exceed 50 MB in total. Please send your images to editor@tapreview.org via www.wetransfer.com or a similar service. Images should be accompanied by a brief introduction and your CV; these may be included in the pdf or sent separately via email.
Artist’s proposal. Use the format for a curatorial project (above): 10 images in a pdf, a brief introductory text (required), and the artist’s CV. Please send images via an image-transfer service.
Translation (from an Asian language into English) of historical or contemporary articles about photography. Your proposal should contain information about the work to be translated and the translator’s CV.
Interview. Your proposal should contain background information about the interviewee and the interviewer’s CV.
Book/exhibition review. Your proposal should contain the title of the book or exhibition and the reviewer’s CV. (Note: An exhibition being reviewed must have a catalogue.) Send your proposal to Reviews and Resources Editor Raymond Lum at Raymond.d.lum@gmail.com.
Authors are responsible for obtaining picture permissions; forms for these are available on the TAP Review website.
Proposal deadline is September 1, 2015. Proposals will undergo a preliminary review and you will get a response by September 30, 2015.
We must then receive completed projects (based on accepted proposals) by December 1, 2015; full peer reviews will take place after that.
