> Transmission: Hospitality aims to address the relation between the  
> various modes of analysis and communication that comprehend art.  
> This conference will be set in a transdisciplinary and transcultural  
> context where dialogues between artists, writers, critics, curators,  
> and academics will be welcomed as a method for generating,  
> mediating, and reflecting experience and knowledge about the way art  
> is received.
>
> Hospitality speaks about art through a form that responds to how art  
> is encountered, discussed and, perhaps most importantly, received.  
> This theme will be explored over the three days of the conference  
> through the topics of Host, Stranger, and Friend. Here we will  
> consider the ethics of hospitality, of making the stranger welcome.  
> A host has a standard of conduct, and historically, hospitality has  
> been seen as a code, a duty, a virtue, and a law. There is a bond  
> between host and guest, and indeed, it is one that may exceed the  
> bond of family - a bond one may be called to defer in place of the  
> guest, as the guest must take precedence. Hospitality derives from  
> hospes, formed from hostis, a stranger. Stranger joins with polis,  
> the state. There is a duty of care. Rather than a fetishising of the  
> social encounter or the reduction of conversation to an aesthetic  
> genre, this international conference takes up discussions on  
> hospitality, incorporating both the stranger and the friend. Here we  
> will ask how art can inform the politics, ethics, and cultural  
> meaning that lie at the heart of the relation between host and guest.
>
> We invite papers and proposal for panels of three speakers on any  
> aspect of the conference theme. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by  
> an international panel of academics and artists. Topics may include  
> but are not limited to:
>
> Host:
> art and responsibility, art and ethics, art and psychoanalysis,  
> cultures of curating, hospitality and film
>
> Stranger:
> art and the foreigner (or the odd, eccentric and uncanny), art and  
> philosophy, multidisciplinary practice
>
> Friend:
> art and dialogue, art and  community, art and politics,  
> collaborative practice
>
> Each of the conference papers will be published on the Transmission  
> website. Papers from the conference will also be considered for  
> publication in the forthcoming issue of Transmission Annual.
>
> The conference is being developed in association with Meadows School  
> of the Arts<http://www.smu.edu/meadows.aspx>, Southern Methodist

> journal Transmission Annual (Artwords) and the opening of
