[Commlist] Journal of Visual Art Practice - 20 anniversary

*/Journal of Visual Art Practice/ *marked its 20 year anniversary in 
2021. Its most recent issue (Vol. 20, Issue 4 
<https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjvp20/20/4>) offers both reflection on 
the journal’s rich history, but also its forward going vision and 
commitment to an international and diverse approach. The issue includes, 
for example, reflections from the founding editor Iain Biggs, and a 
survey article on contemporary drawing pedagogy by Howard Riley. Looking 
ahead, the issue also includes a review of Lauren Fournier’s book on 
autotheory as feminist practice, and an essay by artist and Nahem Shoa, 
whose exhibition, Face of Britain, brought together ‘canonical’ 
portraits in a city gallery collection from the seventeenth century 
onwards, alongside a selection of Shoa’s own striking oil paintings of 
black sitters.

The Journal’s anniversary year coincided with the appointment of new 
editors, Profs Sunil Manghani and Ed D’Souza (Winchester School of Art, 
University of Southampton). Their editorial introduction is available 
open access, and sets out the forward-going plans for the journal, with 
the aim to publish advances in visual art practices and their critical 
contexts, engaging with diverse, global and interdisciplinary 
perspectives; and with renewed emphasis upon the ‘practice’ of the 
Journal of Visual Art Practice. Also available open access, is an 
article on the practice-PhD, ‘Practice PhD Toolkit’, which offers both a 
critical and practice approach to shaping and championing practice research.

In later this year the journal is due to publish an article by Prof. 
James Elkins (and colleagues) that reflects on a new integrated approach 
to Foundation Studio and Art History at the School of the Art Institute 
of Chicago. The journal is seeking respondents to the piece, and/or 
related reflections.
