Audio Visual Research Workshop - /Kuhle Wampe Revisited/ With the New Yorker Collective Red Channels
•Application Deadline

04.07.2011

How is it possible to invent new forms of solidarity in times of imposed capitalist absurdity? How can we define new spaces of struggle against the suffering of budget cuts, mass unemployment and nationalist threat? And not what is to be done, but how is it to be done?

“Kuhle Wampe, or Who Owns The World” was a communist avant-garde cinema project conceived in the Berlin summer of 1932, under an atmosphere of no money, no time, and extreme political oppression. Immediately censored after its release by both the German state and the Soviet Union, Kuhle Wampe explores the tension between the petite bourgeoisie family and the principle of collective solidarity.
We hope to facilitate a collective response to the film, open to all.
Using video as our primary means of documentation, we invite everybody to collaborate with us on this research project, which is open to any media or practice.

We want to reimagine, retrace, remix, reenact, and reload Kuhle Wampe.
We want to film, perform, intervene, interrogate, walk, bike and sing Kuhle Wampe.
We want to create a cinematic compilation of our collective responses to Kuhle Wampe.

Free. Bring equipment if you have it.
Languages: German, English, Denglish.

Thematic Residencies / 19 Adam Chodzko: Something in the Water. A Search for the Turn of the Backwash
•Application Deadline

15.07.2011

Where’s the art work? The residency and its location is the work. The group is the work. The differences between the group is the work. But the group is looking somewhere else altogether. And that somewhere else — certainly, not here — must be where art is really about to happen.

Based on research and experimentation through play, improvisation, and the use of chance, this residency will explore the methodologies of ethnographic film maker Jean Rouch, that looking catalyses a particular reality. And, Grotowski’s notion that actors co-create the event of theatre with its spectators might provide some guidance.

It's a collaboration. Field trips, hikes, meetings with "real" people, collaborative video projects, individual quests, a lot of "show and tell," too much late night Googling, and lots of misunderstandings will steer us through this residency.

Billboard Art Competition Art Moves 2011

There is no entry fee. The Competition is open and all artists interested in billboard art are invited to take part. The works should be submitted by the 20th July, 2011 via electronic mail to the address: artmoves@tlen.pl

Artists are invited to prepare an artwork in response to this year’s competition theme „Reality or fiction? Let’s pretend it’s not there”.

This slogan can serve as a kind of a metaphor of the processes taking place in the contemporary world. The slogan concerns daily matters and questions whether the things/situations in our daily life are real or fictional and how can we distinguish one from the other.

Simultaneously, the slogan also raises a question what we, as individuals or as a community, are trying to hide. Are there any specific phenomena, processes or events we tend to intentionally ignore and pretend “it’s not there”?

"What is Contemporary Lusophone African Art?": open call for papers for THIRD TEXT
•Application Deadline

21.07.2011

We start with a question that is simple in appearance but tellingly complex at the same time: What is contemporary Lusophone African art? Under question here are a number of key terms that need to be unpacked if we are to address this issue in a critical and challenging way: ‘contemporary’, ‘Lusophone’, ‘African’ and ‘art’. Each term is contested territory in its own right but in bringing them together within an interrogative form we are striving to open up a discursive platform in which these complex terms can be debated, critiqued and repositioned. For example, so-called ‘Lusophone Africa’ is not a seamless whole. It includes a variety of countries each with very different social, political and cultural histories. In acknowledging this complexity, it is the hope of the editors that a significant gap in the geography of knowledge production of contemporary African art can begin to be addressed and in turn generate more research and debate across language and cultural borders.



This special issue invites contributions, not exceeding 6000 words in length, from artists, art historians, theoreticians and intellectuals interested in exploring through original manuscripts any of the issues pertaining to ‘What is Contemporary Lusophone African Art?’. The authors’ names and corresponding bibliographic references (500 characters max.) must be included in the document’s title page, which must also have the authors’ institution. The submitted manuscripts must be accompanied by five keywords and when preparing the manuscripts, authors must observe the formatting and the submission regulations of Third Text journal (available at http://www.thirdtext.com/authors-guidelines/). Manuscripts must be submitted in English. In exceptional circumstances only we may be able to provide some help for translation of texts.

Abstracts written in English, (500 words max.) including the manuscript’s title, should be sent by email attachment.

FLASHLIGHTS > Narrative, the different possibilities of constructing it.
•Application Deadline

26.07.2011

26.07.2011

Narrative is the element that allows you to construct a message, generally speaking. Constructing a narrative is a game, you have some pieces, certain rules, and then you play with them, you mix them together, you give hierarchy if you want and then polish them to reach a result.

We will discuss the basic elements of Narrative: Space, time, sound, image control and install / set up. From this point we will try to see how each element affects the narrative, and what does it bring to it, so we can define in a general way what narrative in video is and how may it work in our favour to construct meaning.

ANDREA COYOTZI BORJA has a BA in Fine Arts (University of the Americas, Puebla México) and studies in Video-Cinema and TV in Barcelona, Spain. She works mainly with video and sound, but has projects related with the everyday of the art production.

The workshop will be held in English language

The Sheffield International Artist's Book Prize is a biennial, open submission exhibition, held in conjunction with and as part of the Off the Shelf Festival, which takes place in Sheffield during the months of October and November. The Main Prize is made up of cash and an exhibition at Bank Street Arts during 2012. The winner is decided by visitors to the exhibition who are asked to vote for their favourite entry.

The Sheffield Artist’s Book Prize and Exhibition is open to makers of artist books in any format and from anywhere in the world. No definition is being
given of what constitutes an artist’s book beyond clarifying that the prize is concerned with books about art or artists, but books as art.

All books entered into the competition will be displayed in the exhibition in October 2011. In addition to the Main Prize, we offer two further prizes, both made up of cash and exhibitions. The prizes decided by jury are the Student Prize and Special Jury Prize.


The Sheffield International Artist's Book Prize is as much about finding an interesting format in which to show and view artists' books as it is about creating a prize. The various galleries at Bank Street will be filled with armchairs, sofas, beanbags, cushions and the books themselves placed around the galleries with clear instructions for visitors, to look, read and participate. Entry to the exhibition and prize is free; artists may submit only one book per individual maker, more than one in the case of collaborative authorship.

Closing date for submissions - 31st July 2011.

7th ANNUAL PIXEL POPS: Online Call for Performance Videos
•Application Deadline

31.07.2011

PixelPops 2011 will take place in TPTP art space in Montmartre, Paris and simultaneously in a yet unknown location in Copenhagen. It will consist of video-performances accessible to the public every night during 2 weeks in October.

The work-title of this years exhibit is "Performance From Far Away". With this we seek to make a program that explores performances presented through the format of video; to play with and question both mediums (performance and video) and to encourage dialogue between the artist and the public. This dialogue will be present in the performance videos themselves, but also on a blog where the dialogue can continue in the form of comments from the audience which can turn into written conversations/discussions between the artist and the viewer.

Artists can participate with performance-videos of various duration (max 5 minutes). The performances should be made as and for the video format.

The idea is not to show merely documentation of performances, even though there might also be space for a few of those in certain cases. There is also the possibility to do live performances in one of the hosting venues, which will be video recorded and also shown in the partner city.

There is no application fee.
