Description: The Mobile Spectator: viewing on the move, call for papersProposal deadline: 1 December 2013Conference dates: Friday 4- Saturday 5 July 2014, University of Nottingham, UK In theories of looking at art, spectators are usually assumed to be static, having arrived at a correct viewing position before a given work of art. Yet in our experiences of art, vision and movement are inseparable. Travel is often a prerequisite to putting oneself in a position to be able to see something, or to see it properly; physical effort is required to address the object or image appropriately.
