TRAC 2009 Imagine Presents:

Project Awe is sponsoring a session of academic papers at the TRAC conference with a focus upon esoteric art. The principle theme of this year’s TRAC is the relationship between imagination and representational art. In esoteric art the imaginative decisions of the artist guide viewers toward secrets or private meanings. Consequently, we are especially focusing on papers that examine esoteric imagery within representational art.
