About Boots
Boots
Contemporary Art Space is an art-laboratory on the south side of
Saint Louis, Missouri. Located in the historic Antique Row District
on Cherokee Street, this shotgun brick building was once a shoe
repair shop in the early 1900's. The fading images of boots on the
storefront served as the inspiration for the name.
As an
artist run space our mission is to provide emerging to mid-career
artists and curators, local, national, and international, with an
art lab that will support them in creating and showcasing new work.
We are in the process of planning a wide-range of programs and
exhibitions that will stimulate a creative dialogue between the
Saint Louis art community and the contemporary art world.

The
Universal Symbol for Emptiness, Los Angeles
Curated by Calvin
Phelps - fall 2006
If emptiness can be defined as "an
experience of being without, of not having," then we have all, in
our lives, experienced a form of emptiness. It is arguably a
presupposed position starting from our birth and a state that we
attempt to fill with experience throughout our lives. The state of
emptiness is a point of beginning in both Eastern thought and
Christianity, and can be seen alternatively as the ideal point of
spaciousness and freedom or the point of crisis, deficiency and
oppressiveness.
In psychoanalysis, C.G. Jung's concept of the
collective unconscious refers to the part of a person's unconscious
that is common to all people. Jung theorized that particular
symbolic subject matter do exist across all cultures, through all
time, and in every person. Is emptiness an unconscious part of us
that can have a representative archetype? If so, what is it and how
can it be depicted?
This exhibition tries to answer these
questions, while raising more provocative ones. The work in this
exhibition does not simply evoke the personal- psychoanalytical
artists' response to trauma or loss, but looks at the various forms
the void of emptiness can and does take.

University. It is funded through the Edinboro Student Government
Association (SGA), with additional funding from the Edinboro Art
Department and the Erie Council on the Arts. On average the gallery
sponsors seven shows per academic year ranging from group shows to
solo exhibitions of both emerging and established artists. We also
accommodate our local and university population with annual faculty
and student exhibitions and a juried high school exhibition on a
biannual basis.
We provide a valuable service to the
Northwestern Pennsylvania region via the introduction and exhibition
of national-caliber artists. As our own art department is quite
large, with an enrollment of 1,000 students, we are interested in an
eclectic mixture of media and artistic expressions. Artists are
chosen at the discretion of the gallery's director and the Bruce
Gallery Board and an open “Call for Submissions” is posted annually.
The 07/08 entry deadline is November 30, 2006
(postmarked).
The Bruce Gallery of Edinboro University is
seeking qualified emerging and established artists for solo or small
(2-3 person) exhibitions of our Board's compilation in the

EVENTS
Trampoline Nottingham – Platform for New Media Art : Urban
Play
Deadline: 23rd October 2006
Event to be held on 23rd
November 2006
The city is paved with pixels, the flow of
traffic becomes the flow of bits, the flow of people, the flow of
electrons. Streets and circuit diagrams become meshed. The race has
begun.
Each one of us becomes a player in the game of the
city, furiously manipulating the control pad, tapping buttons,
flicking switches. Leaping from platforms, scaling the walls – the
concrete/media playground is before us.
Hurtling around
corners, lunging up surfaces, shooting through the streets. Join the
rush and surge of the city, find new ways to play the
game.
Trampoline invites you to participate in ‘Urban Play’ a
one day event held on 23rd November in Nottingham, UK. Its objective
is to merge video gaming, art and design with the investigation of
the city space. The structures of the city are increasingly pervaded
by new media with screens, cctv, electronic networks, mobile
devices, implements often designed to control our movement through
urban space and even to remove us from our surroundings. We wish to
investigate how new media can form an even tighter relationship with
our immediate environment – challenge and subvert its conventional
structures – hacking the city.
What we are looking for:
We are searching for work which explores urban space and
methods of play, in particular projects which combine these areas in
examining and utilising new media elements of the city. We invite
you to submit proposals of urban games, creative computer games,
video, interactive installation, audio guides, sound, music and
performance – exploring play, gaming, new media and the city. We
especially encourage the submission of participatory works which
promote a high degree of audience involvement – this includes
informal exploratory workshops as well as completed
projects.
Key points to focus the proposal on are:
- The relation between the work and the city
- The element of play
- Its encouragement of audience participation

GRANTS
Fondation Daniel Langlois, Grants for Researchers in
Residence, Montreal, Quebec
Deadline : 31 October ,
2006
Created in the spring of 1997 through a donation
from Daniel Langlois, the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art,
Science, and Technology is a private, non-profit charitable
organisation with international activities.
The Foundation
aims to further artistic and scientific knowledge and understanding.
Through its actions, it seeks to bring art and science closer
together within a technological context. On the one hand, the
Foundation nurtures a critical awareness of the impact of technology
on human beings and their natural and cultural environments. On the
other hand, it promotes the exploration of aesthetics suited for
environments shaped by human beings.
The Foundation’s
programs are designed to further learning among individuals, groups
and organisations in order to promote new knowledge and new uses of
digital media and information technology.
For the
Foundation, the concept of knowledge is based on interactions among
researchers, artists, scientists and other individuals, as well as
organisations who are both the source and recipients of various
forms of knowledge. It therefore also seeks to promote the emergence
of knowledge founded on local practices that contribute to the
growth and well-being of people in their communities and milieu.
A number of changes were recently made to this program,
including the introduction of two research components: CR+D
documentary collections and archival fonds and Information
architecture and online publishing. As in previous years, the Daniel
Langlois Foundation will award two research grants for 2007. The
proposals selected will allow researchers to work at the
Foundation's Centre for Research and Documentation (CR+D). Anyone
interested in submitting a research proposal is asked to read the
new program guidelines, which can be found at:

PROPOSALS
Pathogeographies (or, other people’s baggage), Feel Tank
Chicago
“At the Edge” series, Gallery 400, University of
Illinois at Chicago
Deadline : Nov 01, 2006
Feel Tank
is a Chicago collective that’s been taking the emotional temperature
of the body politic for four years. We are now investigating the
making of that temperature. We’re interested in the political
potential of “bad feelings” like hopelessness, apathy, anxiety,
fear, and numbness. For Pathogeographies, we’re also interested in
other people’s baggage. The term “pathogeography” is modeled on the
Situationists’ psychogeography but substitutes pathos (feeling) for
psyche (the soul) to emphasize the emotional investments and
ephemeral experiences circulating throughout the political and
cultural landscape. We invite other collectives and
individuals—artists and non-artists alike—to create “suitcases“
(real or imagined) carrying tools to create, collect, and record
political/emotional scenes. Projects will take place in the city of
Chicago and elsewhere. We ask only that you return something from
your project to the gallery to be inspected, collated, discussed,
distributed, and diverted to new uses. How do you carry your pile of
political feelings, and how do you want to encourage others to carry
theirs? We want to foment exuberant political imaginaries. To this
end, we call on you, your ideas, energy, and participation.
The project will function in four parts: Raw Material,
Moving Company, Slow Feeling, and the Body Politic.
Raw Material will be a site in the gallery—a location where
people can gather, discuss, brainstorm and work—and the aggregation
of materials/tools that participants will bring and that Feel Tank
will provide. Moving Company extends the project out into the
pathopolitical world, as participants wander through the city or
direct themselves to specific destinations, carrying
suitcases/toolkits to make scenes and produce situations,
conversations, and interventions. Slow Feeling, a space in
the gallery, will include small temporary exhibitions, video
screenings, memory banks and archives, a reading room, and an audio
tent. Body Politic concludes the project, manifesting as
projects in the gallery and as public happenings that coalesce and
articulate the results of individual and collaborative
projects/research. The project begins March 6-9 and reconvenes in
and out of the gallery June 15-July 7. It will conclude July 4- 7,
2007 with the longawaited Fifth Annual International Parade of the
Politically Depressed.
PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
A CALL FOR SUITCASES
A suitcase may be large or small, real
or conceptual. We define a suitcase as a container of any shape for
a collection of tools, objects, instructions, necessities, and/or
ideas that you want to activate. It might also contain emotional
baggage, ripe for unpacking. Ideally, a suitcase will be accompanied
by a willingness to carry out and document a Moving Company project
for which it provides the tools. (These projects need not take place
in Chicago.) It might contain Raw Material that visitors to the
gallery can use as they wish. It might also, simply, be a list of
instructions. Send a short description of what you have in mind to
bodypolitic@gmail.com with the subject line “Suitcase” by
November 1, 2006. Please limit it to no more than 250 words. We’ll
be in touch about specifics/logistics.
A CALL FOR
PROPOSALS for Slow Feeling
We’re also interested in proposals
and suggestions for discussions, demonstrations, performances,
videos, audio pieces, and projects for Slow Feeling events (not all
of them slow). Please send ONLY a short proposal of no more than 250
words with the subject line “Slow Feeling” to
bodypolitic@gmail.com, by November 1,
2006
Preliminary call for proposals ONLY.
