tank.tv
is looking for lists! Top 100s, 50s, 1000s! Lists of people,
animals, minerals, vegetables! Good lists, bad lists and mediocre
lists.
Lists of anything and everything.
tank.tv is
inviting submissions to its forthcoming show, The Whole World,
curated by Ian White.
The Whole World is a list of lists: a
programme of artists' film and video and an interactive online
exhibition.
Both a formal device and a political strategy,
film and video that deploys a list as part of its structure often
does so with political intent: to subvert hierarchies, to undermine
rationalism or to reveal contradiction. In contemporary culture the
pop chart's Top 10 has been replaced by an ever-expanding craze for
"Top 100s" of everything from Hollywood genres to celebrity gaffes.
The Whole World attempts to wrestle back the initiative.
The
Whole World is situated somewhere between the absurd and obsessive
enterprises of Flaubert's eponymous characters Bouvard and Pecuchet
(they hopelessly collect and explore until, exhausted, they revert
to their original jobs as copy clerks) and the Japanese animated
game Katamari in which players roll all matter - objects, buildings,
landscapes, the world itself - into snowballing globes of stuff. The
Whole World is ridiculous and irreverent, ambitious and
viral.
All are invited to contribute to the programme
selected by Ian White by uploading their own video list, be that an
extract from an existing work or something made specially for the
purpose, to compile a unique, exponential collection: an
extraordinary list of lists, of the world as we know it - the whole
world. Submissions will be considered for both tank.tv and the
CASZartscreen in Amsterdam.
Submit work via the website or
mail mini DV tapes and/or Quicktime files to:

PROJECT
PATTERNS_Researching And Understanding Recent Cultural
History : ERSTE Foundation, Vienna, Austria
Deadline : Friday, 11
January 2008.
PATTERNS is a transnational programme in
Central and South Eastern Europe (CSEE) that aims to research and
understand recent cultural history. PATTERNS initiates, commissions
and supports contemporary culture projects in a variety of formats
and media. It aims to document, analyse and investigate different
aspects of and practices related to the transformation of daily life
and culture in CSEE, while accounting for the pluralities that
describe the region. The programme focuses on the visual arts and
culture that deal with cultural phenomena before 1989 until today,
including aspects of popular, marginal and counter culture. It seeks
to promote understanding and knowledge of a differently lived past,
which can facilitate a shared present and future. In doing so, it
takes on the role of a "contemporary witness".
The call for
submission addresses projects in CSEE that share PATTERNS' areas of
interest. ERSTE Foundation supports research, publications, as well
as artistic and cultural projects and initiatives. The Foundation is
particularly interested in projects which are just about to start
and develop cross-border issues from local contexts, strengthening
local structures and initiatives.
The call is open to
projects in the framework of non- profit organisations in Central
and South Eastern Europe. Since PATTERNS is an international
programme, projects from other countries are also invited to apply
if the topics they tackle are connected to the region or operate in
at least one country of the region.
Funding is offered
exclusively to non-profit organisations. Grants are not made to
individuals or political parties. Individual project work must be
embedded in the framework of a non-profit
organisation.
Projects must be submitted online at: http://www.erstestiftung.org/patterns-
call/
Questions can be addressed to:
culture@erstestiftung.org
Projects are selected by the
PATTERNS Advisory Panel:
Cosmin Costinas (author and curator,
Bucharest/Romania, Vienna/Austria)
Veronica Kaup-Hasler (director
of steirischer herbst festival, Graz/Austria)
Piotr Piotrowski
(art historian, Poznan/Poland)
Georg Schöllhammer (editor of
Springerin and documenta 12 magazines, Vienna/Austria) and ERSTE
Foundation
ERSTE Foundation
ERSTE Foundation began
its activity in 2003. As the main shareholder of ERSTE Bank Group,
ERSTE Foundation is one of the largest foundations in Europe. It is
active in the entire CSEE region, focusing its work on the three
programmes "Social Affairs", "Culture" and "Europe". The programmes
are geared to respond to and deal with issues regarding social
cohesion, cultural development and history as well as the challenges
of the European unification process.
The focal point of the
culture programme is intended to be a practice of mutual exchange
and communication and respect for the different historical
experiences and circumstances. The strengthening of initiatives
locally, the integration of people who bring in their knowledge,
their know-how and their history from a CSEE perspective is a
priority. Particular attention will be paid to the overhauling of
structures of the past and their references to the present and
dealing with art and culture in the former communist states. ERSTE
Foundation will promote knowledge about a past that has been lived
in different ways, which can facilitate a shared present and future.

The Rijksakademie Research
Residency in Amsterdam is an international research and production
place for talented, professional artists from all over the world.
The Rijksakademie is more than a residency. It has extensive
technical facilities, a library, artists' documentation and art
collections. In addition the Rijksakademie offers material basic
facilities such as a studio, a work budget, mediation with
accommodation and grants.

also explored such as architecture and public space, theatre, music,
literature and diverse scientific disciplines.
