Artology: Studies in the Arts invites submissions for its first issue (Vol. 1, No. 1, 2026), which will include a special Article Symposium centered on W. J. T. Mitchell’s newly published essay:
“Art and Infinity: Antony Gormley’s Infinite Cube”
(available online first: https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/artology/article/view/29655)

-
Artistic representations of infinity
-
Infinity in aesthetics, philosophy, visual culture, or mathematical imagination
-
Embodiment, perception, and immersive environments
-
Materiality and form in relation to the infinite
-
Global perspectives on infinity in art traditions
Contributions may take many forms, including:
– Research articles
– Visual essays
– Short critical interventions
