Issue 5: Call for Submissions

July 10, 2017/ Christopher Squier

Cartography is the study and practice of mapping: charting or bringing together a set of elements or qualities according to an ideal, formula, or model (conceptually, diagrammatically, and socially). Consider how spaces, ways of movement, experiences, and routes become entangled in forms of knowledge production. Many mapping projects present social imaginaries, determining topographies and social structures of power which lead to alternative imaginations of space, place, and the body. What can cartographies do in social, visual, and textual imaginaries?

June 08, 2017/ Christopher Squier

In conjunction with the launch of its fourth issue, based on the screen as mediator, proxy, shape-shifter, and cipher, we invite special guests from The National Gallery of San Francisco who will give a brief presentation on their growing collection and exciting exhibition schedule. There will be performances and de-screenings throughout, including video pieces by Diana Li and Simón García-Miñaúr, related to the pieces included in the issue.

Have an idea?

April 05, 2017/ Dissolve

TRACE is a place for experimentation — poetry, reviews, video, documentation of an ephemeral installation or one-night exhibition, art-historical formal analysis, gossip, manifestos, web-based artwork, fiction, long-form, and more... We are currently soliciting both written and visual work to be published on a rolling basis.

Often disguised as a blank slate, the digital screen frames our interactions, realities, and socio-political formations. Sometimes a lens, sometimes a medium, how does the screen perform?

Dissolve Fall Updates: Issue 2 Prompt, Workshop, and Calendar

September 07, 2016/ Dissolve

After an exciting first few months, we are so pleased that our community of art thinkers is expanding. We continue to feel the love that we enjoyed at our wonderful launch party at Adobe Books on August 13th. We would especially like to thank our guests who attended the party, R/SF for their partnership, and Adobe Books & Arts Cooperative, who generously donated the space and on-site assistance for the evening. We were able to raise enough funds to host the site for a year and cover the cost of the launch event. It is so delightful to see this project take shape – it would have been impossible without our friends and supporters. We are so grateful.
