BAC Gallery, Brooklyn, NY Call for Submissions
June
5 - August 8, 2008 Curator: Dana Gentile
DEADLINE FOR
SUBMISSIONS: March 7, 2008
BAC Gallery seeks submissions from
artists who are interested in exploring connections between their
own work, other work in the show, and the viewer for The Line That
Connects You To Me. Although there isn't a "theme" in the usual
sense, the exhibition will have a subject-the viewer. Works
submitted should provide emotional, intellectual, and physical
interaction, enabling the viewer to become as much a part of the
exhibition as the artwork itself. The Line That Connects You To Me
will challenge conventional spectatorship by physically involving
the viewer. In the exhibition space, beginning with the displayed
word "You," lines will be drawn to connect the works of art
together. The line will go above and below eye level, encouraging
the viewer to interact with the exhibition, whether that means
crouching down on the floor or standing on their tiptoes in order to
experience the work. The line will continue down the hall, around
doorways, and throughout the exhibition space where it will end at
the word "Me." These two words, "You" and "Me," will ultimately
refer not only to the viewer and the artist, but also to the
curator, the art world, the BAC employee working in the office, and
even other people outside the gallery space.

Imperative, Gallery Aferro, Newark NY
Deadline 15 April

Biological Imperative curated by Emma Wilcox on
display June 14-July 26, 2008, with full color
catalog
Artists working in any and all media are invited to
submit existing work, or propose new work, in response to any of the
following:
Things that just won't die, multiples, fecundity,
regeneration, splicing, graft, hybridization, miscegenation, do it
yourself genetic testing kits, "she's not my sister she's my
daughter", "one drop," 3/5 of a person, genetically modified foods,
bio art, the prosecution of bio artists, the undead, the
semi-living, Jonestown, the elderly woman who got a DNR order
tattooed on her chest, the undying popularity of zombie films,
Scopolamine, and of course, well, bunny
rabbits.
Blackhorromovies.com, according to its creator, Mark
H. Harris," is the culmination of my life experiences as a black
horror movie fan: seeing hundreds of black people stabbed, chopped
up, and eviscerated without so much as a "rest in peace" or even a
"sorry, my bad," and finding scant acknowledgment of the role of
black people in horror films (Zombies anyone?)"
The Tissue
Culture & Art Project is a collective dealing with "serious
ethical questions regarding a near future when objects that are
partly alive and partly constructed exist, and when animal organs
will be transplanted into humans. What kind of relationships we will
form with such objects? How are we going to treat animals with human
DNA?"
In 1965's "How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare"
Joseph Beuys held a dead hare in his arms and walked around an art
gallery talking about art to the animal. Rabbits function as food,
pest and pet for humans, and symbolize something that dies again and
again, only to be reborn.

FESTIVAL
Dislocate 08 - Festival for Art, Technology, Locality -
Tokyo/Yokohama
Deadline: 14th April
www.dis-locate.net
Dislocate questions our notions of place and location in
the face of perpetual motion through multifaceted environments. The
velocity of this passage is accelerated through new technologies,
but as a result how does this impact upon our encounter with place
and our attempt to communicate this to elsewhere?
Through an
exhibition, symposium and workshop series Dislocate will examine
this encounter and communication, taking a journey through
surrounding spaces and exploring our transient connections.
Propelled through so many spaces with such momentum,
mobility brings freedoms but also responsibilities. While in this
state of passage how do we decide which spaces to engage with and
what is our dialogue with them?
Considering the locations we
constantly carry with us, the interaction between the
internal/external, virtual/physical, real/imaginary, our locatedness
is multiple, fragmentary and in constant flux. Nomadic in structure
the festival will focus upon our kinetic force through these various
intersecting sites. Employing transitions by foot, bike and public
transportation Dislocate will form an expedition into the diverse
routes of the city and its hidden spaces, while questioning our
relation to the ground beneath our feet.
In this state of
transit does our mode of transport isolate us from that which we
travel through? Is there a destination? And how do we know when we
have arrived?
Exhibition
Entering the current of
the city, conducted through its circuits, in a constant state of
disturbance, is it possible to configure with our environment? When
shuttled at such velocities can we find any point of anchor? Roaming
these streaming channels what do we transmit and what do we receive?
What makes up our experience and expression of place? How do
we scan, read and send the information before us?
These will
be particular areas of discussion which the Dislocate exhibition
will contribute to.
There will be an opportunity for work to
be presented in selected exhibition spaces while connecting these
sites with external sites. However the main strategy of the
exhibition is to present itinerant works which investigate the
surrounding environment, taking the viewer on a journey through the
city, allowing a new experience of these immediate spaces and
communicating this with other locations.

submission materials:

Workshop
Exploring the pathways of Yokohama
Yokohama is famous as a port of exchange, a gateway for
international relations, a historical site of both commercial and
cultural trade. With its various inlets and outlets,
Yokohama is a buzzing network of transactions and
communications. But with our rapid movement through fluctuating
lines how can we take account of each footstep? Utilizing these
networks, trains, subway, roads, alleys in a scrutinization of the
moving city, workshops will set out an expedition in which we
reflect upon our roaming through urban space and the fleeting
exchanges which occur here.

FILM, VIDEO AND NEW MEDIA
Perpetual Art Machine [PAM] at Scope New York 2008
Deadline for submissions: Friday February 29,
2008
We invite the community to submit to the [PAM]
3rd Annual Open Call for New Video Art To be included as a featured
project at Scope New York 2008 at Lincoln
Center.
Celebrate with us the anniversary of the
creation of the Perpetual Art Machine video art project and to
commemorate the video art legend Nam June Paik.
Paik,
credited over 30 years ago with coining the phrase "The future is
now", [PAM] asks what that means today in
"THE FUTURE WAS
THEN .......... SO NOW WHAT?"
Submissions will be
considered for featured video programs, curated by surprise guests,
to be presented March 26-30, at this years SCOPE New York
International Art Fair, Lincoln Center, New York, NY. After you post
your new videos to the [PAM] website please tag them with "scopeny"
So we can easily search for the new submissions.
For those of
you that dont know already. [PAM] was originally created for Scope
New York in 2006 by the artists Lee Wells, Chris Borkowski, Aaron
Miller and Raphaele Shirley as a one-time collaborative installation
and open source web 2.0 research and archive project. [PAM] has
since grown into a vibrant and progressive international community
of curators, academics, collectors, writers and most importantly the
artists who choose video, interactive media and the Internet as
vehicles to express themselves in the new century. [PAM]'s unique
interactive touch-screen system, allows for the artist and viewer to
become an active participant in the curatorial process by allowing
them to better inform their experience through engagement with
thousands of video works from some of today's most exciting
international emerging video artists.
It has been through these
newly formed relationships that [PAM] has traveled the project to
over 10 countries through its installation and special screenings
that include the 2nd Moscow Biennial of Contemporary Art, ART|BASEL
Miami Beach, WRO07 Media Art Biennale, Coachella Valley Music and
Arts Festival, and the Lentos Art Museum, in addition to numerous
incarnations at Scope Art Fairs over the past 2 years.
Most
recently, [PAM] organized the exhibition "Video Art in the Age of
the Internet" at the Chelsea Art Museum. In October, [PAM] will be
included in an exhibition at the National Centre of Contemporary Art
in Moscow and Yekaterinburg Russia called "Drift" a satellite
exhibition to "In Transition Russia 2008" curated by Helene Black
and Sheila Pinkel of NeMe.
"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." -

ARTropolis,
Around the Coyote Video Lounge, Chicago, IL
Deadline: March 1,
2008
Around the Coyote, as a cultural partner of The
Artist Project at Artropolis, brings you the Around the Coyote Video
Lounge curated by LiveBox. ARTropolis is Chicago's citywide
celebration of arts, antiques and culture. Running concurrently with
Art Chicago, The Artist Project features original work from
cutting-edge artists undiscovered by the gallery community. The
Video Lounge will open for the preview celebrations on April24th,
and run through April 28, 2008
Since the rise of You Tube
and the use of video as a communication language, there has been
talk about the death of video art. For many it is becoming
increasing difficult to access the artistic quality of video art
when the format represents entertainment and cheap reproduction.
Very recently though, there has been talk of Video as "New". New
York times critic Holland Cotter wrote in January 08, " At present
it is shaped by a combination of pop fantasy, ingrainedcybersmarts,
neo tribalism and the angst- free take on contemporary life that
marks attention- deficient internet culture." Cotter was talking
about a collection of rising video artists who were creating
stunning original video. You Tube habitation and the like had
liberated these artists to create fearless work. The ARTropolis
Video Lounge is a celebration of video as a seminal medium for young
artists today.
Send a CD with resume, statement, short
synopsis of the work, and jpg images. Video should be NTSC DVD, if
your piece is in PAL, please send mini DV tape. Label DVD and case
with title, running time and contact info. Note materials will not
be returned, unless specifically requested. Send proposals to:
