Stamp*Stick*Fly , Gasworks, London
Deadline Fri 15 June
2007.
Gasworks
wants your posters!
Following the success of Blink in
2006, Gasworks' new open submission project for 2007 will work with
the format of the poster.
The distinctive feature of this
project is that it will combine an open-submission with
activities-based presentations. It will be a cross-disciplinary
project open to all based in the UK, and is intended to connect with
different individuals who either already work with the format of
poster design, or would be interested to use this opportunity to
work with this format for the first time. How practitioners work
with the poster format is entirely open; for example it can be used
for announcing an event whether fictitious or real, as a form of art
object, or another sort of statement.
Those who wish to
submit to Stamp*Stick*Fly will be asked to submit a work in the
format of a poster, which will be seen by a selection panel
consisting of:
Åbäke (design collective)
Alessio
Antoniolli (Director, Gasworks)
The selected poster designs
will be exhibited at Gasworks over one of three weeks of the project
in August 2007. The three weeks of the exhibition will use a
selection of the posters submitted as inspiration for a series of
events.
Rules for applicants:
- Applicants can submit 1 or 2 posters.
- Posters should only be a maximum size of A2 format.
- You can produce the poster using any materials.
- You should send the actual posters to us, and not
documentation.
- Please bear in mind that any posters selected will be
exhibited, and may be stuck to another surface, thus it may not be
returnable.
- If you would like your poster returned, please send a stamped
addressed envelope with correct postage.
Submission
information
Submissions are welcomed from all artists and
practitioners interested in producing a poster, and are based in the
UK.
Poster and event presentation will take place in August.
There is no submission fee.
Short-listed artists
will be notified before the end of June.
The selectors will
consider all submitted works. How people use the format of the
poster is open to interpretation by those interested in
applying.

Anonymous
Drawings 6, bluetenweiss, Raum fuer Kunst, Berlin
Deadline for
submission: May 21th 2007
The
following Call is also available for download in German, English,
Spanish, French, Danish, Japanese and Italian.
bluetenweiss, Raum fuer Kunst - a temporary project space -
opened in October 2006 with the one evening show titled Anonymous
Drawings 1. Due to the huge amount of international submissions and
the positive public response, the sixth edition Anonymous Drawings
6, will take place June 9th and 10th 2007.
*Concept and Idea
of Anonymous Drawings*
Drawings (size max. DIN A3 = 29,70 x
42,00 cm / 11" x 17") by anonymous artists will be shown in the
gallery on the scheduled evening; the exhibiting artists will remain
anonymous until theirwork(s) are sold. Works will sell for a uniform
price of Euro 100. Buyers will be informed of the artist's identity
upon purchase of his/her work. Exhibited drawings will be the work
of both professional and non-professional artists. Because of this,
we ask that the viewer him/herself draw the line between Art and
Non-Art. The artists agree to stay their individual person in the
background in favour of their product. A priori for the evaluation
of the work on this evening is not the name and the biography of the
individual artist, but the work actually shown.
*Participation for Anonymous Drawings 6
At June 9th/
10th, 2007*
Please send in the following:
- 1-3 original drawings on paper, maximum size DIN A3 (11"x

be returned without the payment for the
postage!

Deadline 31 May 2007
BOOK
WORKS NEW OPEN SUBMISSION SERIES COMMISSIONING EDITOR: STEWART
HOME
SEMINA - WHERE THE NOVEL HAS A NERVOUS
BREAKDOWN
Theme
Semina takes its inspiration
from a series of nine loose-leaf magazines issued by Californian
beat artist Wallace Berman in the 1950s and 1960s. We are looking
for experimental prose that draws inspiration from art as much as it
does from literature; for writing with a radical and extremely
selfconscious understanding of itself; work that takes itself both
beyond and behind the mid-twentieth century après- garde and is
inspired by groups such as Cobra, the Beats, Fluxus, Oulipo, the
Letterists, and those involved with the new novel and Black
Mountain, as well as the more recognizably post-modern
experimentation associated with figures like Kathy Acker, Dennis
Cooper and Lynne Tillman. We aim to publish work that will cross any
and all genre boundaries, that is unable to recognise differences
between poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, high brow and low
brow, art and life; and that continually reforges the passage
between formalism and sensuous activity. Themes that interest us
include drugs, magic, the art world, life, death and transcendence;
but above all we're looking for unknown artists and writers willing
to take risks with their prose and who demonstrate total disregard
for the conventions that structure received ideas about fiction.
Design
Semina will have a series identity and a
regular format drawn from Wallace Berman's Semina magazine and
verifax collages. We will commission and work with a designer on
this project. The print-run will be up to 1,500 copies. Published
works will be between 30,000 & 50,000 words or 72 & 128
pages.
The Commission
Commissioned and edited by
artist and writer Stewart Home, the series will publish nine books,
six of which will be selected by open submission, a further two
commissioned by the editor, and a final title Blood Rites of the
Bourgeoisie to be produced by Stewart Home. Three books will be
published a year. The selection will be by Stewart Home and Book
Works staff.
