Deadline : 14th of February 2007

Schmäck is looking for new work to be project onto 2x2M wallspace. Pieces may deal with any subject matter and will be viewed individually.

The series of screenings are planned to start on the 25th of March, the week of Schmäcks 2-year anniversary. Each piece will be screened for 2 weeks. Up to 8 pieces may be selected. In some cases, depending on relevance and geography, travel to the gallery may be payed for by Schmäck. All works will be published in a catalogue as well as on Schmäcks website.

About Schmäck
Schmäck operates in several areas of culture including fashion and design. Apart from being a gallery it is also a busy café and a popular poetry- and music-venue. It has a shop where artists may sell their work and which has the capacity to produce some merchandise in cooperation with the artist. Although diverse in expression and content, a common thread to previous shows and commissioned artworks has been that they have taken advantage of the social aspects of the space made possible by the various activities contained in it, with many pieces being interactive and dependent on audience cooperation. The gallery only shows recent work. It operates within an international network and the pieces shown have been made available to a wider public than the local population through various media.

DVD:s and CD:s are to be sent to:
Schmäck, Kungsgatan 49, 903 26 Umeå, SWEDEN

Notions of Wilderness , LiveBox at Kasia Kay Art Projects, Chicago
Deadline : April 1st, 2007

Open call for new media projects. "Notions of Wilderness" is an exhibition that will take place at Kasia Kay Art Projects, a commercial gallery located in Chicago's primary setting for contemporary art galleries.

The exhibition will include all mediums, but this call is specifically for new media. The exhibition will run in June 2007. The word wilderness is derived from the notion of wildness; uncultivated, uninhabited, in other words without human modification. The social and political realities of "nature verses economics" makes defining wilderness in the 21st Century ever more elusive. What is "wild", what can be called "wilderness", what is the measure of human "influence" that defines wildness?

LiveBox is looking for compelling new media projects exploring aspects of wilderness.

Please check the website for submission guidelines, or contact cf@liveboxgallery.com.

Ongoing Open call for Single Channel Video: searching for new works for upcoming screenings and curatorial projects.
