CITY|SPACE is
seeking proposals for creative and surprising new CITY|SOUVENIRS of

landscape, memento, and memory.

COMMISSION
The 2008 Great North Run Moving Image Commission,
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Deadline: 11 June, 2007
The
annual Great North Run Moving Image Commission is now open for it's
third year, offering artists and film-makers the opportunity to
create a new piece of work which captures the spirit of the
participants, audience and atmosphere of one of the world's top
sporting events.
With an award of £30,000, the 2008 Moving
Image Commission is open to artists with at least three years
post-graduation experience of creative film and video work. The
new film will be launched in the North East in September 2008 as
part of the Great North Run Cultural Programme, with an extract
screened on the BBC as part of their live coverage of the event. It
will then tour, along with previous Moving Image Commissions, to
arts venues across the UK and Europe.
This year's
selection panel includes internationally acclaimed artists Beat
Streuli, Dave Gordon, Head of Special Events at BBC Sport, and
Olympic medallist and BBC Sport's commentator Brendan Foster. The
successful artist will be announced in September 2007, during the
run up to this year's BUPA Great North Run.
BAFTA
award-winning Michael Baig-Clifford and Ravi Deepres were the
winners of the first Moving Image Commission, launched in 2005 to
celebrate the 25th anniversary of the BUPA Great North Run. Their
film Runner takes its audience as close as possible to the mental
and physical experience of taking part in the event through the
moving image. Using material from the race itself and combining with
specially shot sequences of a single runner, it follows the journey
of a man, one soul in 50,000. Launched at Dance City as part of the
2006 Great North Run Cultural Programme, before being screened at
the Tyneside Cinema. It received its European premier, to a great
response, at the Prague Film Festival.
Suky Best won the
following year's award and has been working over the last year
towards the premier of her film About Running at Baltic Centre for
Contemporary Art in September 2007. Her piece will be a hand-drawn
animation based on specially filmed footage of participants during
the event, showing the stark silhouettes of the runners with all
other background details removed. Using a process called
'occlusion', figures are made visible only as they pass each other.
Her work will also feature a soundtrack using the layered voices of
people who ran in last year's event, including those who took part
for the first time, local participants and international elite
athletes.

PRIZE
Jerwood Drawing Prize, UK
Deadline : 26 June
2007
This exhibition, formerly The Cheltenham Open
Drawing Competition, has been an annual open show since 1996 and
became The Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2001. The aim of the exhibition
is to promote and reward talent and excellence in contemporary
drawing. The exhibition is currently open to entry by all artists
resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom.
Every year, the
changing panel of distinguished artists, writers, critics,
collectors and curators select the show independently and without
knowledge of the artists submitting; they define their own
priorities for an exhibition of current drawing practice. This
fashions a constantly shifting set of values and concerns, evidenced
in the resulting touring exhibitions, in which fundamental questions
are asked about what drawing is: its purpose, value, relevance and
nature.

PROPOSALS
Electric Lab, Exit Art, New York, NY
Proposals due by
June 15, 2007
September 22 - November 17, 2007
In the fall of 2007, Exit Art will present Electric Lab.
This exhibition is dedicated to the scientist Nicola Tesla, who
wanted to provide the entire world with free access to electricity.
As Tesla discovered, electricity is one of life's most fundamental
forces; it courses through the heart and powers our computers.
Today, the shortage and high cost of electricity is a pressing
contemporary issue. For Electric Lab, we are asking artists to
envision solutions to the impending electricity crisis by creating
works that imagine alternative sources of electricity, suggest new
ways to access electricity, and establish scenarios in which to
experience the power of electricity.
How to Apply:
Proposals may be for work in any medium. Please submit a one
page description of your project idea: a sketch of the proposed
project; a resume; and documentation of your previous work (10
slides or images on CD, please send images at lowest resolution so
they open quickly, or a 3-5 minute NTSC VHS video or DVD). Please
include a self addressed stamped envelope for the return of your
work. You will be notified by email of your involvement in the
exhibition so please include an email address with your materials.
Exit Art is not responsible for returning works submitted without a
SASE.

collaborate on the developmental stage. The resulting
projects/exhibitions will showcase early-career installation artists
and take place in different buildings about to be pulled down.
Collaborators will be asked to join us for two in-person meetings in
London and three on-line development meetings. Send up to 200 words
explaining why you want to be involved in this initiative, what your

Light
& Sound Gallery, Portland Art Center, OR
Submission Deadline:
June 30th, 2007, 6pm
The PAC is a nonprofit exhibition
space and resource center for the contemporary arts. Its mission is
to cultivate informative and innovative interactions between the art
world and the public. Portland Art Center serves as a support
network and information hub for the contemporary arts in Portland,
Oregon and the Northwest. Our dynamic programming offers unique
opportunities to contemporary artists whose work is outside the
commercial gallery system.
The Program
The Light
& Sound Gallery is a new space dedicated to the exhibition of
video and sound-art installations. Our intention is to create a
focused space for listening and viewing. The program features
installation-based audio and/or video pieces, with an emphasis on
multi- channel and sculptural work. We are seeking proposals that
fully explore the spatial potentials of sound and image while
challenging the conventions of narrative and viewer/listener
orientation. Surround- sound and multi-speaker compositions,
multi-screen video works and intersections of the two mediums are
welcome. Currently Portland Art Center cannot guarantee a financial
stipend for artists but can often acquire supplies and assist with
housing an artist from out of town.
The Space
The
physical space is a long rectangular room on the second floor,
measuring 26.5' x 9.5' with a height of 10 feet. The entrance is 3'
wide and covered by a heavy curtain. The space is painted entirely
white and lighting options are open and flexible. There is one large
pipe that runs the length of the space on the left wall upon entry
with a cluster of pipes at the back left corner.
