TSA’s
Biennial Symposium will take place in Los Angeles, California on the campus of
the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and at the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art (LACMA). To encourage the maximum amount of scholarly
interchange, TSA has devised a new format for 2014, and plans to hold two days
of multiple, concurrent sessions at UCLA as well as a full day of plenary
sessions at LACMA on the last day. In addition to the sessions, there will be a
series of dynamic pre- and post-conference workshops and study tours to local
and regional art institutions and collections, receptions, special programs and
awards ceremony.
The theme of
TSA’s 14th Biennial Symposium New Directions: Examining the
Past, Creating the Future will explore change and innovation in
textiles in the past while looking at the state of the field of textiles,
textile study, production and creativity, today and for the future. Where have
we been and where are we going? What are the moments that encapsulate
change? What are the shifts in direction for cultures, technology,
creativity and knowledge? And how do these effect our understanding of textiles?
TSA seeks
presentation proposals from all textile-related disciplines and
interdisciplinary areas, including but not limited to anthropology,
archaeology, art, art history, conservation, cultural geography, design,
economics, ethnic studies, history, linguistics, marketing, mathematics,
political science, and theater, among others. Participation of international
and U.S. scholars, researchers, artists, museum professionals, and others is
welcome. Submission of abstracts is open to TSA members.
Submissions will be accepted from May 1 through October 1, 2013.
