Submit an article proposal or your work

We always accept proposals for contributions to the magazine and information about your works and projects.

Authors

. simply convey your interest to us and tell us what you want to write about (exhibitions, publications, events, works, collections, institutional practices, issues in photographic or image-based practices).
. for longer articles, a short synopsis is a good idea, although we will also consider completed articles.
. when you are submitting for the first time, it is useful for us to have an idea of your recent contributions.
. we are also interested in submissions for shorter articles for our website.
. the word counts for articles are generally the following: reviews of solo or group exhibitions, 750–1,000 words; publication reviews, 750–1,200 words; essays, preferably not monographic, 1,500 to 2,000 words.
. we always commission texts for the portfolios and interviews, but we welcome your suggestions.
. dates for submitting completed articles are generally one month after the date they are commissioned, unless a different date is negotiated (shorter deadline, for insertion in an issue currently in production, or longer, due to the scope of work required or your commitments).
. we do not announce our thematic sections in advance, but we are always interested in articles that continue reflection on subjects addressed in our preceding special sections.

Artists

. keep us informed of your recent production (works, exhibitions, publications, and so on) and your projects underway.
. we particularly appreciate hearing about your projects before they are made public.

Institutions and curators

. we also appreciate hearing about exhibition and publication projects when they are in the planning and development stages so that we can better plan their coverage and perhaps envisage eventual partnerships.

Contact

. send your submissions by email to Jacques Doyon, editor-in-chief and director, at doyonj [at] cielvariable.ca, or by mail to the address at the bottom of this page.
