Publication Series of the Academy

The volumes in the series comprise collected contributions on subjects that are the focus of discourse in terms of art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and show the international debate in this field. Research activities such as conferences, lecture series, institute-specific research focuses or art/research projects serve as the points of departure for the individual volumes.

The series is published by the Rectorate. The content-relalted orientation is determined by the Advisory Board, which consists of representatives of the institutes, the head of the library and the Rector. The advisory board is supplemented by a jury consisting of two external and three advisory board members, who make the selection for the realized publications. Every year there is a call for proposals in which the next books are selected.

In 2022, the series has undergone a revision and now focuses on text-based paperbacks that can be published promptly, both anthologies and monographs. The Akademie Notebook Vol.# marks the start of the new format of the Publication Series and offers plenty of space for own thoughts and notes. Volumes 27 to 29 are currently published and the next volumes are already in the works.

Books with more freedom of design, such as artist books, appear supplementary.

The books of the publication series are peer-reviewed (from volume 20 onwards) and are made available open access in the Academy's repository.
