Instead of only installing an exhibit that would be seen by a limited number of people, The Photo Review will reproduce accepted entries in its 2006 competition issue. Thus, the accepted photographs will be seen by thousands of people all across the country and entrants will have a tangible benefit from the competition.

Also, the prize-winning photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at the photography gallery of The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, and will be exhibited on The Photo Review’s website.

EXHIBTIONS
International Noise, Sydney Australia
Deadline : 28th April 2006

New Artist run initiative in Sydney Australia seeking international artists.

A 9" x 5" Show debuts on 13th May outside International Noise's favourite Sydney art gallery. Following the precedent set by the First Impressionist exhibition in Australia, which challenged established perceptions of art and its presentation, we will be paying homage to the nine by five inch format. This time, International Noise is bringing art to the doorstep of the community in a white-walled, moving, high-torque, eight wheelin', free dealin' gallery: a truck.

A 9" x 5" Show comes hot off the back of International Noise's inaugural event, Copy Cat, which saw over 40 local and international artists take on the photocopier and show their work in Paddington's Burton Street Bridge, Sydney.

This show is all about format. Be it painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, moving image, or a sound piece; as long as the size is right, send your entry in. Maximum (and minimum) external dimensions for work (including framing if desired) are restricted to nine inches by five inches in any orientation and with a maximum depth of three inches (228mm x 127mm x 76mm). All technology-based entries are to have a self-contained power source. (Eg. Batteries.) All works are to be ready for hanging, fitted with 'D' rings. A 9" x 5" Show is a curated exhibition as space will be limited.

Deadline for delivery of works is the 28th of April 2006 and should be sent to:
68 Goodhope Street, Paddington, New South Wales, 2021, Australia.
Please include stamped, self-addressed return packaging.
All works are for sale (unless otherwise specified), so please include a sale price in AUD. International Noise will retain a 20% commission in the event of sales.

'Works on Paper' - Flux Factory, New York, USA
Deadline : 28 April 2006


Flux Factory is putting out a call to artists to submit works for a benefit exhibition titled 'Works on Paper'. The exhibition will run for one week from 20-27 May 2006 and will feature works on paper by emerging and established artists and sell them to a wide audience of dealers, collectors, gallery owners, artists and people who want art at extremely reasonable prices.

Flux Factory is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization housed in Long Island City, Queens, NY. We are having this exhibition to raise money for our 2006 exhibition budget. As an all-volunteer not-for- profit, we understand the difficulties of exhibiting art in today's commercially saturated market. In a climate where galleries often lean towards strictly commercially viable work, we are turning to the artists we yearn to support to now help us by donating work to fund our 2006 season.

Flux Factory, 38-38 43rd Street, Long Island City NY, 11101 USA

MAGAZINE
Shifter #8 “Rules and Representations
Deadline : May 1st 2006



4) Can rules that have been formulated for a specific purpose be appropriated, salvaged and put to unforeseen uses? What happens to this appropriated structure/ language? What is its relationship to the source structure/ language?

1) (How) Does the represented Subject use the rules of their given symbolic space to find and articulate their subjectivity within the rules of that space. Raising the question of where within the homogenized spheres of production and consumption in this globalizing society, are there spaces for subjective articulation? In the performance of everyday life? In revolt?

2) If the Subject is (I)tself constituted as a representation of these rules, are its articulations also a representation of the same rules? If so, must we remove the term “Subject” from the previous sentence?

3) If the Subject is amputated from language, who speaks? And who is spoken to?

SHIFTER is also currently accepting submissions for a web-based project titled "The Museum of Contextual Amputations"

PROPOSALS
Arts Catalyst and SCAN, UK : Dark Places
Deadline : 14 April 2006


The Arts Catalyst and SCAN wish to commission a number of projects by artists or scientists that culturally and/or politically interrogate a scientific site or body of ideas in the UK.

Dotted around the UK, often in improbable settings – underground or in unremarkable rural settings – and unseen by the public, are scientific research institutions that are pushing the frontiers of investigation.

Dark Places will result in a series of artists’ or scientists’ projects – which could be film, installation, exhibition, talks, guided tours, publications, etc – that take the lid off sites or ideas on the cutting edge of science.

We are looking initially for proposals for research projects. Arts Catalyst and SCAN will select 3 or 4 proposals, which will be awarded budgets of £500 – £1000 for an initial research phase. Should Arts Catalyst and SCAN then decide to proceed with the proposals, they will fund-raise for, produce and promote the resulting projects.
