Subject:looking for material for issue # 16


Dear Cabinet contributors,

We are currently looking for material for our Winter issue (issue
16). In addition to the Main section, this will also have a thematic
section on the Sea. The Main section is, as usual, omnivorous and
hungry for almost any topic. The thematic section will address with
a wide variety of issues related to the Sea, ranging from the
literary and artistic to the commercial and the legal. We are, of
course, also looking for artist projects. Feel free to forward this
to any writers or artists you think might be interested.

Possible topics might include, but are *by no means* limited to:
– visual representation and audio recordings of the sea and its
inhabitants
– piracy and sailors
– islands and island communities
– maritime law
– shipping routes, trade, etc.
– boat-building
– new scientific work, oceanography, etc.
– sea animals
– freeports
– shipwreck
– landlocked vs. port spaces
– beach culture
– sea travel and conquest
– the sea as abyss, sea monsters
– the visual depiction or symbolic dimensions of the underwater
landscape
– aquariums

Contributions relating to both contemporary and historical material
are welcome; visually rich material is especially desired.

We need first drafts by August 15 and finished drafts by September 15.
Artist projects need to be in by September 15 (please note that we
shy away from doing a second project with any artist who has
contributed a major artist project to Cabinet in the past).

Thanks
