Call for Artists : Guildford Lane Gallery WEDNESDAY PROJECT

Deadline: Open Call, Melbourne VIC

Guildford Lane Gallery invites artists, curators and otherwise
occupied individuals to submit their ideas for THE WEDNESDAY PROJECT.
We have dates available in the near future so don't delay!

The Wednesday Project is a weekly event held amongst the exhibitions
at Guildford Lane Gallery with the intention of fostering marginal,
peripheral and/or ephemeral art forms, as well as critical forums. It
encourages exploration and collaboration; cross-discipline,
cross-genre, cross-media, you name it! The Wednesday Project
appreciates the old and welcomes the new and unheard of; it is a
platform for the fruition of your most ambitious ideas.

To give you an idea of its scope, Wednesday Projects thus far have
involved experimental music, sound, sculpture, installation and
performance. It could also include lectures, poetry, philosophical
discussions, screenings, contemporary dance or live artworks. Our
audience should not know what to expect next!

Criteria for Inclusion:
- Collaborative and/or Mixed Media works
- Unusual/Experimental
- Well-constructed for an audience; timing and
performance/presentation methods for each event have been planned
accordingly. This does not mean highly finished, works in progress are
fine, particularly if you are seeking audience interaction/feedback.

Each programmer produces a series of Wednesday evenings, usually held
one month apart. This requires that it progresses or changes in some
way, so that you are not presenting a repeat "performance" each event.
The series may include 3 – 6 events. Consideration will be given to
projects that request consecutive weeks programming or other
scheduling requirements.

The Gallery and its team of volunteers provide the following in-kind
support because we believe such a Program would not be possible with
the usual associated costs.

• A space amongst an exhibition on 1 of the 3 floors • PA Equipment,
HD projector & DVD players (subject to booking) • Electronic publicity
& a simple hard copy flyer • A pay bar • Door staff

Programmers / Artists are responsible for producing their event from
start to finish and conducting some publicity. Please note, the
Gallery does not pay artists/programmer fees, nor reimburse for costs
associated with running a Wednesday Project event. Programmers may
request a donation door entry from the audience, not exceeding $5.
It is important to remember that Projects occur amongst exhibitions,
which requires some flexibility. If you have particular requirements
that may impinge on this aspect please specify these elements in your
proposal.

Questions and submissions should be directed to:

Stacy Jewell - wproject@guildfordlanegallery.org or or 03 9642 0042.

Or posted to
Guildford Lane Gallery
PO Box 12179 a'Beckett Street
Melbourne 3008

Submissions should include:
• Conceptual description • Physical description (appearance, materials
and equipment included) • Equipment required (please specify whether
already acquired or not) • CV • Relevant support material (images,
video, audio, etc.) • 1st and 2nd preferences of dates (all Wednesdays
of course!)

submit one piece that represents the brief / theme given, industry
friends who are invited to exhibitions will have a chance to meet and
greet, and for a months time the artists/designers details are left in
the gallery for people to read up on, making connections.

Artists and designers can have the opportunity to have a solo
exhibition if invited and they must have submitted a piece into a
group exhibition previously in the LLR, once again this exhibition
will not allow the artists to sell on the property so no commission is
taken from the LLR.

Living Copenhagen

School of Critical Engagement
Living Copenhagen

Open to people that have a critical interest in the interaction
between humans and the spaces they occupy.
www.schoolofcriticalengagement.org

In January of 2012, the School of Critical Engagement, in partnership
with the city of Copenhagen and Wooloo, will launch it's next phase of
research and engagement through a sixteen week project, testing out
methods of public practice, ethnographic research, and semi-permanent
public space interventions. SoCE is inviting credit seeking students
and working professionals to explore what it means to engage a place.

Participants will be hosted in different and diverse living
situations, explore and test experimental practices, from the inside
out, that transcend the traditional silos of architecture, landscape
architecture, public art, urban design and planning etc., that are
developed out of concrete situations and processes instead of
preconceived professional and disciplinary constructs, that engage
actual realities – even the messy ones - instead of preconceived
notions. It is only through such approaches that spatial design and
planning disciplines and public art can engage the 'public' one again,
and regain their social and cultural relevance.) and work in
collaboration with the community and Copenhagen-based art and design
practices to create a body of work that will be presented to the city
as possible realized projects in the city.

Our semi-permanent public space installations will be left intact
throughout the summer of 2012 to provide opportunities for observation
and data collection that will inform the next phases of the project
continuing in the autumn of 2012.

LIVING COPENHAGEN is open to graduate and post-graduate level students
and practitioners in art, architecture, landscape architecture, urban
design, planning, film, sociology, economics, community developers,
anthropology, cultural geography - to people that have a critical
interest in the interaction between humans and the spaces they occupy.

international nonprofit performing arts organizations. This full-time,
four-week intensive program takes place at the Kennedy Center each
July; Fellows attend each summer for three consecutive years. While at
the Center, the fellows take classes and refine strategic plans for
their home organizations. The Kennedy Center has hosted 42 Fellows in
three classes from 28 countries.

This fellowship program is designed to provide up to 20 international
arts managers with an intensive four-week arts management program for
three consecutive summers. Selected managers will come to Washington,
D.C. to study at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Through practica, daily classes, seminars, and projects, fellows will
gain practical-based experience and skills that will be readily
transferable to the management of their organizations. Arts managers
with a minimum of four years experience will be selected for the
program. Fellows receive roundtrip air transportation, hotel, per
diem, and program materials.

Applicants must have at least four years experience working in arts
management and currently be employed with an arts organization outside

Applicants may be asked to provide additional information. Qualified
candidates will be contacted for a phone interview with the Kennedy
Center staff.

Fellowship recipients will be notified via e-mail and must provide
confirmation of their acceptance within 10 days. The number of
Fellowships granted each year is dependent upon the quality of the
applicant pool; however, it is anticipated that fifteen fellowships
will be awarded for the upcoming term.

Reclaiming public space

Human Cities Festival
Reclaiming public space

Call for papers
www.humancities.eu/en/updates/view

This symposium is organized as part of the second festival of the
Human Cities network called: "Reclaiming public space", to be held in
Brussels from 15 until 31 March 2012.

Human Cities is a European network that groups scientific and cultural
partners involved in research and information on spatial, social and
political innovation related to the production of public space in
contemporary cities.

This international, multidisciplinary call for papers is addressed to
researchers from Europe and elsewhere whose work is directly related
to civil society initiatives that target "reclaiming" public space in
contemporary cities.

The disciplines concerned are urbanism, design, architecture,
sociology, anthropology, political sciences, philosophy, history,
geography, law, etc.

The call for papers looks for significant contributions from the
academic world as well as contributions from independent research
groups, networks or institutions. The concept of "research" should be
understood broadly. It includes theoretical works but also other types
of research grounded in the field, in which the participatory and
experimental dimensions are more significant, such as "action"
research, "by design" research, etc.

Proposals should respond to one of the highlights described below,
which should be mentioned explicitly. They should not exceed 2,000
characters (spaces included, see the template) and should be sent by
14 October 2011 at the latest to the e-mail address below.

In case of validation by the scientific board, a final text (maximum
30,000 characters, spaces included) will also be requested.

The proposals and the final texts should be drafted in English, the
official language of the symposium. They should be drafted in a clear,
accessible language, potentially adapted to a non-specialized
audience.

ArtsIT 2011 - Second International ICST Conference on Arts and Technology

EAI, ICST
ArtsIT 2011 - Second International ICST Conference on Arts and Technology

Call for papers
artsit.org/show/home

Welcome to ArtsIT 2011, the Second International ICST Conference on
Arts and Technology, that will take place in Esbjerg, Denmark from the
7th to the 9th of December 2011.

ArtsIT is meant to be a place where people in arts, with a keen
interest in modern IT technologies, meet with people in IT, having
strong ties to arts in their works. The event aims to foster
trans-disciplinary alliances and co-operation between IT researchers,
artists and industry members as well as to offer artists novel
creative tools that expand the grammar of the traditional arts.

Now in its secondnd edition, ArtsIT has become a leading scientific
forum for dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area
of Arts, Design & Technology. The Esbjerg event will bring together
leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to
present their innovative work and discuss all aspects and challenges
in a stimulating environment.

The conference represents a valuable opportunity for researchers,
artists and industry members both to showcase new, cutting-edge ideas
that will shape the future of art and technology, and to gain insights
into the innovative techniques and trans-disciplinary activities that
are making strong impacts both on the world of the arts and on society
at large.

Scope

With the evolution of intelligent devices, sensors and ambient
intelligent/ubiquitous systems, it is not surprising to see many
researches and arts projects starting to explore the design of
intelligent artistic artefacts. Ambient intelligence supports the
vision that technology will become invisible, embedded in our natural
surroundings, present whenever we need it, attuned to all our senses,
adaptive to users and context and autonomously acting. High quality
arts or information should be potentially available to any user,
anywhere, at any time, with any device. The information environments
will be the major drivers of culture which will eventually lead to the
future space (intelligent, interactive, invisible and informative) -
Utopia kind of life.

Topics

ArtsIT is by nature a multi-disciplinary conference. The call for
papers is therefore aimed at people across a wide spectrum of
interests and disciplines including computer science, design, arts,
sociology, anthropology, psychology, and marketing.

We cordially invite prospective authors to submit unpublished research
papers with novel contributions in the following areas:

* New Media Technologies (Evolutionary systems that create arts or
display art works, such as tracking sensors, wearable computers, mixed
reality, etc.)
* Software Art (Image processing or computer graphics techniques that
create arts, including algorithmic art, mathematic art, advanced
modelling and rendering, etc.)
* Animation Techniques (2D or 3D computer animations, AI-based animations, etc.)
* Multimedia (Integration of different media, such as virtual reality
systems, audio, performing arts, etc.)
* Interactive Methods (Vision-based tracking and recognition,
interactive art, etc.)

Conference proceedings and publications

All submitted contributions will undergo peer review. Reviews will be
single blind (i.e., include authorship information with the submitted
paper). Accepted papers will be published in the ArtsIT Conference
Proceedings and by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes of ICST
(LNICST).

The proceedings will be available both in book form and via the
SpringerLink digital library, and will be submitted for inclusion in
leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital
Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus and
Zentralblatt Math, as well as ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

Selected papers will appear in the International Journal of Arts &
Technology (Inderscience).

Authors with accepted special contributions will be asked to submit an
extended version of their paper. A typical length for a long paper is
between 20 and 30 pages. Please also note that 20-30 pages unformatted
ordinary MS Word text would typically result in a shorter document of
12-20 pages, formatted according to the Springer guidelines.

Submission guidelines

* Papers should be in English.
* Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be
concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers
will be rejected without review.
* The paper submissions must follow the LNICST formatting guidelines
and cannot exceed 8 pages in length.
