Colors and Olympism: the 3rd Beijing
International Art Biennale, China 2008
July to August
2008
Colors are just like the beautiful rainbow connecting
our dream and reality, as well as art and the Olympics. "Colors" are
the symbol of art and beauty. The theme "Colors and Olympism" is a
vivid depict on the close relationship between the 3rd Beijing
International Art Biennale and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The
variety of colors implies the diversity of human's culture.
Meanwhile, they could melt into colorful modern scenes. Thanks to
the glamour of "colors", the"Olympism" can be more vivid, fantastic
and beautiful. The 3rd Beijing International Art Biennale will
enrich the humanistic spirit promoted by the Beijing Olympics with
plastic arts (such as painting and sculpture). At the same time,
Olympic will inspire artists with her concept of harmony and
progress.

EXHIBITION
Donate your artwork to the Open Collection, New
York
Deadline: September 1st, 2007
In the framework of
the exhibition titled: "All is well that begins well and has no
end," organized at 80 WSE Gallery, New York, September 2007, we are
creating an open collection of artworks. This collection will be a
work in progress that grows and shifts during the course of the
exhibition. The "Open Collection" redefines the act of collecting as
a collaborative process, and initiates an organic conversation
between artists, and curators. This will function as an ongoing
laboratory. "All is well" acts as a contemporary accompaniment to
"The Geometry of Hope," a survey of the Cisneros
Collection on view at The Grey Gallery, New York. The Cisneros
Collection focuses on modern and contemporary Latin-American art,
and has a strong emphasis on geometric abstraction, concrete art,
minimalism, and conceptual art from the 1930s to the 1970s.
"All is well that begins well and has no end" uses the
Cisneros Collection's focus on geometric abstraction, concrete art,
minimalism, and conceptual art, as a platform to survey artists
working with similar visual languages today.
By donating to
the Open Collection, your artwork will engage in an experimental
cross-cultural dialogue. The artworks of the Open Collection, will
be displayed in the central gallery of the exhibition "All is well
that begins well and has no end," by the curators of the show. The
Open Collection forms a resource for curators and artists, and will
be archived at New York University.

The Theme: Mad or Bad?
We would like to invite
filmmakers from around the world to submit short films (animation,
music video, artist films, narrative films, documentary etc.) up to
10 minutes on the theme "mad or bad". Break the conventions, break
free, break your heart or someone else's, take drugs, become a
criminal, become a victim, wherever your fancies take you - are you
mad, or are you just bad? You could look at trick or treat, crime
and punishment, genetics and eugenics, or: simply consider Michael
Jackson.
What makes this contest different from any
other short film contest is that the audience will be able to bet on
which film will be the winner - however, bets must be placed before
the screening. Short clips of the films chosen for BoSs 2007 will be
on our website a week before the screening. In addition all
contestants will be asked to write a short but informative blurb
about their film and give some background information about
themselves. This information, together with a still from the film
will be available to the audience ca. 2 hours before the screening,
when they will also be asked to place their bets.
Entry
Procedure: The entry form with all required information
accompanied by a DVD- preview copy should reach the ICA by
31 August 2007. For preview only DVD copies will be
accepted. If the original language of the film is not English, the
preview copy should be subtitled.
Selection and
Notification: All filmmakers will be notified in writing whether
their film has been accepted by 23 Sep 2007.
Please
send your preview copies to:

Address: 12
Carlton House Terrace - London SW1Y 5AH -

Dispatch Costs: The applicant is responsible
for the costs of sending the preview copy and, should the film be
selected, the screening copy. BoSs will pay the cost of returning
the screening copy, which will be sent back the week following the
screening. Preview copies can only be returned if the applicant
provides a self-addressed and stamped envelope.

Do
Billboards Dream of Electric Screens?,
Trampoline, Nottingham,
UK
Deadline : Wed 4th of July
Trampoline and partners
are calling for short, sharp and silent video works by artists
working in film and new media to be shown on three outdoors screens
across the East Midlands.
This programme of up to 10 works
will be launched in late September 2007 for public screening on the
new projection screen of the Royal Centre, Nottingham, the Derby Big
Screen in Derby's Market Place and a temporary screen erected on the
facade of the Phoenix Arts Centre in Leicester.
In the East
Midlands, we are at the beginning of a new era where the trend for
large public display screens in city centres has arrived, offering,
amongst other things, valuable opportunities for disseminating
artistic content in urban space. These electronic spaces offer
potential alternatives to a visually overloaded urban horizon that
has been hitherto dedicated to advertising graphics.
At this
stage in their evolution, urban screens are still accessible for
experimentation and represent a medium that has the potential for
unique interactions with audiences and for networking across great
distances.
Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? marks the
beginning of a very contemporary exhibition space for the moving
image, reaching audiences typically measuring thousands every
day.
Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? also marks the
first Trampoline run up event to the 4th Radiator Festival at the
end of Nov 2007.
It is envisaged the programme will receive
a repeat screening during the festival and tour throughout the UK
and beyond in 2008.

WANTED
Artists to start an artist-run gallery in
Berlin
(Deadline: as soon as possible)
Call for
artists to start an artist-run gallery right in the middle of
Berlin's most prestigious gallery area. Also open to artists living
abroad who would like a presence in Berlin.
The plot:
To gain visibility as artists by having our work displayed,
where the art world big shots have to walk past it.
How:
rent a space, with a group of like-minded, high quality
artists, in the Zimmerstrasse / Kochstrasse or Auguststrasse area of
Berlin. (Location of most top Berlin galleries)
This would
mean each artist: - could have a solo show at least once or
twice a year; - would profit from the network, contacts and support
of the other artists involved; - would have a fixed presence in the
heart of the art scene in Berlin all year round through catalogues
or other documentation at the gallery, when not currently
exhibiting; - would share equally in the cost for the rent of the
space (very cheap in Berlin) and in the decision-making for the use
of the space.
Quality/ the vibe:
To be successful as an
artist run gallery it's important for all members to like the work
of their fellow members and each other. Therefore potential members
will only be able to join if they're accepted unanimously by the
existing members. Right now, other than myself, there are no
members. So if you're interested, check out my work here at belgianberlin
and at re-
title.com
If you like it please send me a mail,
preferably with a link to where I can see your stuff. Or just give
me a call. Don't worry if the current documentation of your work is
not up to date, get in touch anyway!
This is not a closed
package deal but an invitation to join in a dialogue about shaping
and starting something new. Looking forward to hearing from you,
