EXHIBITION
Old Tech, New Text, Alternator Gallery, Kelowna, B.C, Canada

Would you have a moment to consider your rapport with the stuff? Would you have another one to consider making some new text/visuals on a single sheet of paper? If so, we'd be very happy.

Mallarmé was anxious about the clean sheet of paper- but you are so relaxed. Please face a clean sheet of paper and record your thoughts-with any kind of precision-about toasters, telephones, Teflon, or tetracycline. Let your struggles be visible, please.

Send your new text, on that old tech, to us- we'll hang it up.

Thank you.

Kai-Oi Jay Yung : Paradise Stories, Liverpool 2008
Deadline: Sat 8 Sep 2007

Local / National / International call for submissions

Governments, urban planners, scientists, religious institutions and economists continue to seek implementation of a near utopian paradigm for the benefits of inhabitants and global positioning. Modern day living however is often a satire on any idyllic notion of paradise.

What is your interpretation/commentary on modern day paradise relating to your surroundings and realities of human nature / the way things are? How will you offer an alternative sanctuary/'some' place rather than an impossible 'no place'?

Call for submissions of existing works (2005+) or new work towards a dynamic environment in/around the gallery space. The work should somehow consider opportunities for viewer interaction/participation.

Further Information : Paradise Stories myspace for application details

Brooklyn Arts Council, BAC Gallery : Site Matters: Brooklyn Represents
Deadline for submissions: August 3, 2007

September 28 - December 14, 2007
Curators: Lauren Schell Dickens and Julie McKim

Curatorial Description:
How does one define Brooklyn? Site-specific art of the late 1960s and early 1970s was a response to a physical space; the work depended on location for its support. As the 1970s practice of site specificity merged with postmodern dialogues of the eighties, the notion of "site" expanded from a neutral and purely physical space, to acknowledge the implicit political and economic forces at work in a location. In her article "One Place After Another: Notes on Site Specificity," art historian Miwon Kwon pushes further, no longer defining site in physical and spatial terms, but as psychologically, economically, viscerally, and imaginatively conceived. 

Site Matters: Brooklyn Represents seeks to showcase the variety of ideas and themes that Brooklyn as "site" inspires. The curators are interested in work explicit in its dialogue with Brooklyn, as well as work exploring urban identity, changing landscape and community issues, and other discourses relevant to the borough. This exhibition will examine the multiple and interwoven identities of Brooklyn through diverse media such as painting, graffiti, works on paper, performance documentation, two-dimensional installation, and textile.

Minimum of 10 artists will be chosen for this exhibition.

Digital'07: Pattern-Finding, Organized by Art & Science Collaborations

9th Annual International Exhibition of Digital Prints to be held at the New York Hall of Science September 29, 2007 - January 21, 2008

"Pattern-finding is the purpose of the mind and the construct of the universe. There are an infinite number of patterns, some of which are known; those still unknown hold the key to unresolved enigmas and paradoxes." - Agnes Denes, 1967 (1)

Historically, pattern has been reinterpreted by artists from the earliest of times. From the incised pictograms on the walls of Egyptian tombs, the stunning cut-outs of Matisse, America's pieced and patchwork quilts, to the everyday pattern of light and shadow that captivates many contemporary photographers -- pattern has captured the artist's vision.

For Digital'07, we are specifically looking at how structure and pattern in the universe, whether visible or invisible to the naked eye, have become the muse for many contemporary digital artists. We seek to explore how today's scientific fields of systems science, chaos and string theory, fractals, nanoscience, genetics, molecular science, the wavelets or frequency of sound, or a myriad of other mathematical data-sets have influenced today's artists working with 2-dimensional pattern in their art.

And let's not forget the oldest source of pattern, nature itself! As Galileo is quoted to have said: "Nature's great book is written in mathematical symbols." Nature is, of course, an infinite resource for the lover of pattern.

(1) From "Evolution and the Creative Mind," written in 1967 by Agnes Denes and delivered as a lecture in 1974 at the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

CO-JURORS: JD Talasek, Director of Exhibitions & Cultural Programs at The National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, and ASCI founder/director, Cynthia Pannucci will co-curate this year's exhibition.

OPEN INTERNATIONAL CALL: We invite your submissions to this year's digital print competition that will have a physical exhibition at the New York Hall of Science, plus a corresponding online exhibition at the ASCI.ORG website.

TIMELINE:
Aug. 20, 2007: Deadline for receipt of entries to ASCI
Aug. 29, 2007: Notification of Juror Selections [via email]
Sept. 18-22, 2007: Artworks to arrive at museum

ASCI'S PREVIOUS DIGITAL PRINT EXHIBITIONS:

ASCI's SUPPORT OF DIGITAL PRINTS:
ASCI was one of the first organizations in the world to recognize the digital print as a valid fine art product in 1998 by organizing an afternoon panel discussion, "Collectibility & the Digital Print." This event was held in The Great Hall at Cooper Union, New York City, in conjunction with ASCI's first international digital print competition/exhibition.

ASCI is a nonprofit organization located in NYC but mostly "virtually".













Rice & Beans/Black Eye Peas & Collard Greens (& other stuff), Jersey City, NY
Deadline :Friday 20th of July 2007

Open Call to Artists of All Media.

Curator: Hugo Xavier Bastidas, Painter/Digital Artist, Art Instructor Art Students League of New York, Associate Professor New Jersey City University.
Email: hugo.bastidas@verizon.net

Title & Location of Show: Rice & Beans/Black Eye Peas & Collard Greens (& other stuff), Sept. 21- Oct 20th. Canco Lofts for the larger 2007 Jersey City Artists Studio Tour.

Theme of show: Artists of color, particularly Latino, Native American, Mesoamerican and of Black African heritage that are aware of the mainstream constructs that prevail in galleries and museums; more preciously the referencing of historical art/endeavor that can be traced. Not asking for artwork about art, rather work that uses capable sound structure. That is original, nevertheless connected with excellence of the past.

Reason: The stereotyping of minority artwork as lacking quality and originality stems largely from the lack of historical continuity. Whether from one's own linage or not, work that does not have a historical connection by and large tends to lack depth and knowledge. This show aims to dispel this myth.

Thus, this call goes out to those that understand the rules of the game played in the big stadium, yet have been marginalized by prejudices and ignorance. Show your stuff; show you can hang with the big boys and girls.

Material requirements: 10 images or more of present work (on CD in high resolution of 300 dpi when sent via snail mail or when sent via email at low resolution of no more then 72 dpi) to hugo.bastidas@verizon.net or Hugo Xavier Bastidas, 445 E.86th Street 10E, New York, NY 10028. Include resume, artist statement (single page). If artwork is accepted high-resolution images will be necessary only via snail mail.

Due Dates of Materials: Friday 20th of July 2007. Because of the timely manner of the schedule, date will be hold without exception

Conditions if accepted: Works must be delivered during days assigned, artist provides own insurance of artworks (unless specified otherwise). Artist or agent representing artist will remove Works during specified removal dates.

All participating artists will be asked to gallery sit for 2-hour increments during exhibition hours. There are two nominal fees: a registration fee required by the city of Jersey City and an installation fee requested by Pro Arts.

*This exhibition is being sponsored by Pro Arts, a non- profit organization of professional artists dedicated to promoting the visual arts and communicating Jersey City's identity as a growing arts center.

FELLOWSHIP
Eyebeam, New York, NY
Deadline : August 6, 2007

Overview of Eyebeam Fellowships

The application process for Eyebeam's 2007/08 Fellowship program is currently open. The deadline for applications is August 6, 2007. All applicants will be informed of their application status by October 1, 2007. The program duration is for 11 months, running from November to September.

Fellowships will be offered in the R&D OpenLab,the Production Lab and the Education Lab. The focus of the Fellowships varies depending on the tools and skills available and the creative objectives and philosophy of each Lab. Up to five Fellowships will be granted for 2007/08.

For all of the Fellowships we are seeking applications from artists, hackers, designers, engineers and creative technologists to come to Eyebeam for a year to undertake new research and develop new work. The ideal Fellow has experience working with and making innovative technological art and/or creative technology projects and has a passion for collaborative development. Fellows will bring this experience and working approach to their own independent projects, projects initiated by other Residents or Fellows and projects conceived collaboratively during the Fellowship period.

Fellows are selected from an open call. International applicants are welcome to apply although we do not have the resources to provide travel or accommodation. We are happy to work with selected applicants, where required, to help them to secure funds to cover these expenses. International Fellows are responsible for securing their own visas for the Fellowship period.

Fellows receive a $30,000 stipend and health benefits during their stay. They are able to take on additional external teaching or consulting work, but there is an expectation that Fellows will be working at Eyebeam a minimum of four days a week.

Collaborative partnerships at Eyebeam will be fostered though group critiques, discussions and projects, within and between the lab environments and residency programs. Fellows also benefit from critiques, lectures and workshops by external practitioners chosen for their relationship to subjects and projects being worked on in the Labs. All Fellows are encouraged to share their skills and knowledge with the larger Eyebeam community by conducting formal and/or informal workshops with others in the Labs as well as possible workshops open to the public. There are also opportunities to develop work for performance, events, seminars, exhibition or other public programming in the Eyebeam galleries (and beyond) during the term of the fellowship.

Core to our principle at Eyebeam is the brokering of relationships between artists, hackers, coders, engineers and other creative technologists and the contexts we provide. The intention is to foster and facilitate relationships whereby technologists and artists can come together to germinate and hothouse their ideas, develop new processes and create new works through a period of immersion in a social context which is rich in technology, expertise and ideas.

[PAM] Perpetual Art Machine Organized by Chris Borkowski, Aaron Miller, Raphaele Shirley and Lee Wells

"If there is any movement or group of artists who have inherited the mantel of Nam June Paik it is this group, although of course they are doing their own thing."- Michael Rush, Art Basel, Art Salon, December 2006

"Cacophonous juxtapositions give way to calming abstractions as video works, and reworks, its magic" - Sarah Kessler, Artkrush.com

[PAM] presents its most evolved and emergent system to date. Perpetual Art Machine is a living archive and research project that offers a global survey of 21st century video art. In a little over a year, the [PAM] community and video database/archive has grown to over a thousand established and emerging video artists contributing artwork on a global level. By inviting both the artist and the viewer/user to participate in its interactive installations and its online free community video portal the whole process and evolving systems culminate in an immersive and interactive video experience that democratizes the curatorial process through folksonomies (keywords) and user participation.

In just over one year, [PAM] has been presented in 9 countries and 16 cities through installations, screenings and lectures. The project has also expended its role in the world of video art by the use of web 2.0 practices and community out reach that encouraged it's artist and curator members to curate freely from the website video gallery and database. [PAM] continues to further the awareness and understanding of video art.

[PAM] will be presenting its first exhibition at the Chelsea Art Museum August 13-25 curated by Nina Colosi. In addition to the interactive installation, [PAM] will be hosting a roundtable discussion and will be featuring single and large scale three-channel video projects from the most innovative artists in the [PAM] community.
