In the context of the reassessment of the collecting, display and interpretation of cultures, the study of art as a global human activity challenges categories of mainstream and marginalised arts and allows new histories to emerge, highlighting different standpoints and disciplines.

World Art encourages critical reflection at the intersections of theory, method and practice. It provides a forum for redefining the concept of art for scholars, students and practitioners, for rethinking artistic and interpretive categories and for addressing cultural translation of art practices, canons and discourses. It promotes innovative and comparative approaches for studying human creativity, past and present.

World Art welcomes contributions which promote inter-cultural, inter-national, inter-practice or inter-disciplinary concerns. Submissions can take the form of articles or art-works, based on individual or collaborative research. Audio and video materials may be included to accompany the on-line version of the journal.

I am sure World Art will be an exciting and much needed journal.
Michael Asbury (University of the Arts, London)

World Art promises to be a most interesting forum.
John Baines (University of Oxford)

World Art sounds like a wonderful and challenging enterprise and promises to tackle issues which, over the years, have also become more central in my own research.
Filip De Boeck (Institute for Anthropological Research in Africa)

World Art is presciently located on the cusp of artistic and academic concerns. It not only straddles but imaginatively scrabbles such boundaries. The journal promises to be an important intervention in the understanding and articulation of aesthetics and arts - including their effects and affects - by critically envisoning these as global practices.
Saurabh Dube (Colegio de México)

World Art is an exciting venture. I welcome efforts to overcome the division between art history and art practice.
Tim Ingold (University of Aberdeen)

I find your new journal very exciting.
James Moy (Ontario College of Art and Design)

World Art is an exciting project.
Chris Pinney (University College, London)

World Art is a great idea. There is no current publication approaching its ambitions for geographic spread, historical depth or intellectual rigor. Its intention to provide interdisciplinary, inter-textual and imaginative approaches to the collection, display, conservation and interpretation of visual and material cultures is unparalleled and warmly welcomed.
Henry Schwarz (Georgetown University, Washington D.C.)

Such an approach and such a journal are highly needed. I also subscribe to the insight, that 'creativity is as central to scholarly as to artistic work'. Academic circles neglect or even deny, all too often, the role of creativity/intuition in scholarship.
Paul Vandenbroeck (Interculturalism, Migration and Minority Research Centre, Leuven)

World Art is a journal whose aims I wholeheartedly endorse.
Jonathan Williams (British Museum, London)
