CALADAN GALLERY presents "PLANT LIFE", a juried exhibition

http://www.caladangallery.com/

March 25, CALADAN GALLERY presents 'PLANT LIFE', a juried exhibition. It is in the shadows of itself; exists, breaths, and prospers under the snow in a clear day in winter; lives in the dark crevices of the ocean floor; abounds with and harbors life in the thick jungle; dots and transforms the desert landscape; enjoys a seasonal renaissance in temperate climates. Plant life gives life to us and we in turn, afford ourselves to it. We are in an inescapable romance, a giving and taking of life's energy with that which grows around us. It grows in the cracks of concrete in the urban complexity; it flourishes in the most inopportune of places. Artists working in painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital media, textiles, mixed media, and installation are eligible. Caladan has a new format! To view it and to download prospectus go to: http://www.caladangallery.com and click on 'Enter Upcoming Exhibition', or write to: Box 391939, Cambridge MA 02139. Or call us at: 978-979-8922. Fee is $20/3 images.

CALADAN GALLERY presents "TRANSFORMING MATTER", a juried exhibition

http://www.caladangallery.com

Objects, histories, have a basic reality to them. Part of what we do as artists is question the balance of this reality with possibility. We investigate, non-judgmentally, the nature of things as they are seen, and as they are unseen. We put existence through a ringer. Whether it be an idea or a toy or a mathematical equation, it lies subject to scrutiny through the eyes of a visual alchemist. This exhibition will challenge the limitations set forth for us, but rarely adhered to. Artists working in painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital media, textiles, mixed media, and installation are eligible.

Call for Artists: International Art Award PREMIO ARTEINGENUA

http://www.arteingenua.it/

Call for Artists: PAINTING, SCULPTURE, AND PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION FOR YOUNG ARTISTS (20-40) 'IMPACT ART place and relationships'. ARTEINGENUA Spa makes its bow on the international contemporary art scene as an innovative space and new kind of modern patronage. It is inspired by the need to discover, understand, evaluate, and diffuse - through operative and cultural strategies new forms of art that, more than ever today, demonstrate the force to be found in a rediscovered expressive purity, a necessary spontaneity in art making, in a multifaceted growth of pictorial, plastic, multimedial, and performing languages. The key word for this new integrated system for contemporary art is INGENUOUS, and in it is mirrored a new methodological approach to the expressive purity of young and so of emerging contemporary artists. This purity is shown in various forms which, at times, have re-emerged from a past that is both historical memory and a generational clash, but vibrating with the joy of giving to everyone an awareness of the great possibilities of each artist. For ARTINGENUA the propulsion behind art starts in less known and, in a certain sense, less eloquent areas which are also less dominated by, and impermeable to, prevailing ideologies: it is to this world that ARTINGENUA wishes to offer its help with an overview that is still INGENUOUS, still open to suggestions and in search of what is yet to be born. The organisation of competitions for young artists is not a new idea but what is innovative about this one is the amount of the prize money. This will allow, on the one hand, worthwhile young artists to study and deepen the languages and themes of the contemporary art they feel most in accord with, without having to limit or sell themselves but, rather, to concentrate on themselves without having to market their own artistic abilities; on the other hand these prizes will allow a qualitative gain in the form of the works presented for the eventual exhibition. For ARTINGENUA to give an economic reward means above all enriching the mind rather than the pockets of young artists: to give them, in other words, the possibility of really concentrating on their own future without anxiety or the fear of having to sacrifice themselves in other activities having nothing to do with their wishes or real potentiality. The international competition ARTINGENUA prize 2008 is placed, then, within a wider context: ARTINGENUA is, in fact, concerned with its artists full time and aims at realising together with them the projects and continuing collaboration so often absent in the art system, establishing long-term, focussed strategies and moves. In this context of initiatives and working methods identified and followed up by ARTINGENUA is to be placed the first edition of ARTINGENUA prize 2008 which offers a range of prizes that is quite exceptional, even internationally, especially considering that this is a privately organised award: in fact the first prize amounts to 30,000.00 Euros; the second 7,000.00 Euros; the third 3,000.00 Euros, for a total of 40,000.00 Euros. The competition plans an exhibition, a substantial catalogue with reproductions of all the works admitted to the competition itself, biographies of the artists, and critical essays. The show of the works, the voting, and the adjudication of the prizes will all take place in an important venue, yet to be decided on, in Italy. A carefully selected jury, consisting of persons of note from the following categories: Art criticism Journalism Collecting Industry Architecture and design Poetry and literature Music Fashion Theatre New media All will be a guarantee for both discovering the artists real abilities and for giving them concrete possibilities for becoming known and appreciated. The theme that the ARTINGENUA prize 2008 proposes is: IMPACT ART place + relationships It is, then, a provocation more than a proposal, an attack more than an invitation, that ARTINGENUA offers young and emergent contemporary artists, calling on them to take part in a competition that, for the first time, aims at having an IMPACT on new expressive languages, with yet to be discovered artistic forms, as is described in the outline supplied with the competition notice. In this are to be found the three central themes by which the artists are free to be inspired. INFO 'PREMIO ARTEINGENUA 2008' Anna Leopoldo ARTEINGENUA Via Corf, 106 25124 BRESCIA Tel.

http://www.rockvillemd.gov/arts/call-entries.htm

The City of Rockville, in partnership with RD Rockville, LLC and Federal Realty Investment Trust, is pleased to announce Call for Entries for nine public art projects in support of a $500,000 commitment to integrate publicly accessible art into a vibrant Rockville Town Square where “progress lies, not in enhancing what is – but advancing toward, what will be” a completely new redeveloped area within the active core of Rockville Town Center. These site-specific public art projects are seen as opportunities to honor and embrace Rockville’s long history and rich cultural diversity. The presence of public art throughout the area is viewed as a means to engage and involve those who visit for the first time as well as those who experience Rockville Town Square daily. These public art projects will become part of the identity of Rockville. All finalists must identify how their proposed project is significant to Rockville in content. How does the art relate to Rockville’s “past, present and/or future?” How does the art embody the “who, what, when or where” of Rockville? Rockville Town Square is a 15-acre project that will create an active destination featuring a mixed-use environment with: street level retail, restaurants and shops, more than 600 residential units built in the four stories above the retail, a new cultural arts building for the visual arts; a public plaza designed to host concerts and other special events, a new Rockville Regional Library (the largest in the Montgomery County system) and three parking garages. Rockville Town Square is one block from the Rockville Metro station serving the Washington-Metropolitan region and Rockville Pike/Route 355, a main artery of the City of Rockville and surrounding Montgomery County. The area is also within a short walking distance of many Rockville neighborhoods. On June 15, 2004, the ground breaking for Rockville Town Square was held. The targeted grand opening is planned for late .

http://www.boxbird.co.uk

CinemaScope An exhibition at Boxbird Gallery & Studios For the Brighton Fringe Festival 2009 Open for Submissions Cinema touches us all, whether its action, romance, thriller or sci-fi we can all think of a film which has touched us. Who didn’t cry when the angel got his wings in ‘It’s a wonderful Life’? Who didn’t go home after seeing Star Wars for the first time and break a lamp whilst pretending the broom was a light sabre? And any one that says they didn’t laugh out loud watching THAT scene in Team America is lying (You know which one i mean!. The CinemaScope Exhibition is being hosted and curated by Boxbird Gallery based in Hove, East Sussex during the Brighton Fringe Festival in May 2009. The exhibition includes new works based on the theme of cinema by the Boxbird artists and is also open to submissions. For further information about the gallery please visit http://www.boxbird.co.uk. The Brief Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a minimum of two limited edition prints or original art work (A2 size) for Boxbird’s ‘CinemaScope’ exhibition in May 2009. The prints can be based on any film of your choice and must either depict a scene, character, location, or be your own version of the film poster. Artwork can be produced in any format the artist wishes (silkscreen / giclee etc) as long as it is suitable for rolling and posting, and is on A2 size paper with room for mounting. Style of work At Boxbird we specialise in limited edition prints and silk-screens by a variety of illustrators, printmakers and designers. If you think that your work would fit in with the style of other artists currently exhibiting with Boxbird then it’s probably worth applying for a place in CinemaScope, if you are a watercolour artist or photographer it probably wont be quite what we are looking for. Don’t forget that we are big supporters of emerging talent, students and recent graduates so regardless of your professional experience we look forward to hearing from you. How to apply?

Call for Entries- Circulation

http://www.booksmartstudio.com/news.php?section=1&NID=%2098

Call For Entries Artists of All Mediums: Circulation The strength and value in art is located not solely in its visuality, but also in its ability to circulate as an object, or at the most basic level- its grounds in a circulating idea. Within a tiny droplet of blood, there are some 5 million red blood cells. It takes about 20 seconds for each of these red blood cells to circle the whole body. These red blood cells will each make approximately 250,000 round trips of the body before being replaced by another red blood cell. USA Today has a daily circulation of 2,528,437. In one year, that amounts to 922,879,505 reads. By the end of the Civil War, between one-third and one-half of all U.S. paper currency in circulation was counterfeit. The ice age cycles were influenced by changes in ocean circulation arising from changes in the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Booksmart Studio is seeking submission of artist works that confront, explore, exploit, challenge, and investigate the modes, methods, and effects of circulation. Keeping in line with the diverse modes of circulation and dissemination, the exhibition is open to all mediums. For more information contact gallery@booksmartstudio.com

Call to Artists for 'Ex Libris' Exhibition

http://www.groups.myspace.com/exlibrisartists

This is the FINAL CALL to artists for 'Ex Libris' a collaborative show to take place in Spring of 2009. A Latin expression meaning 'from the books of…', Ex-libris(bookplates, leaflets or book labels) are small printed labels, pasted into the volume's front/back cover binding, bearing its owner's name and a sign of personal identification. Their long history relates to the reverence and appreciation for books, the knowledge they possess and the entertainment they provide. Artists who create these personalized labels and the owners who commission them are moved to evaluate their personal appreciation for books, the traditional method of presentation as opposed to more contemporary methods of knowledge acquisition, their personal association with knowledge in general. What will the label convey about you to those who borrow your books, those who own them after you, to yourself when you crack the cover? Each artist will contribute 2 works on paper—traditional prints or drawings. The first image will need to be received in digital format for completion of the proposal by no later than the end of November. Any submissions made earlier are welcomed and appreciated. The second image and final submissions are not required until early spring. EXAMPLES: http://images.google.com/...ges?gbv=2&&hl=en&q= “Ex Libris” will debut at the Kinston Art Center in NC in spring of 2009, and possesses the strong possibility of becoming a traveling show. Charles Philip Brooks, Niki Litts and I are co-curators and will be choosing the final group of artists to participate in the show. So far there has been intense interest from both fine artists and commercial artists (some who are both or in between), from European and US residents, and from curators of collections of work from artist deceased. Please send images, questions, bios, letters of intention to participate to me via Facebook or email (sarah.faris.art@gmail.com), or to cpbrooks08@gmail.com. CDs may be sent to 'A Gray Day Fine Art' – re: Ex Libris - 122 North Church Street Rocky Mount, NC 27804. We look forward to hearing from you! My Best, Sarah Faris

Canada Council Annual Assistance to Media Arts Festivals

http://www.canadacouncil.ca/grants/mediaarts/iw127226368228437500.htm

The council views media arts festivals as key events for raising the profile of Canadian, independent media artists and their works, linking these artworks to Canadian audiences, and stimulating dialog and exchange between artists and the public. The program supports festivals to advance the development, understanding, and appreciation of Canadian, independent media artworks by publicly presenting these works within a critical context, with a view to developing increasingly knowledgeable and committed audiences. Priority is given to festivals that give prominence to Canadian, independent works; display vision, innovation, and risk-taking in their programming; present works by Canadian artists from various regions and cultural communities and highlight a diversity of voices and visions; and reach diverse audience groups, including young audiences.

These grants support independent critics and curators in their research and development activities in theory, criticism, analysis, and curating in contemporary visual art (including architecture, craft and photography) and media arts. The program recognizes three categories of critics and curators (established, midcareer, and emerging) and offers two types of support: grants that allow applicants to devote most of their time to research and development activities, and grants to cover a short period of research or similar activity. Creation/production grants may contribute to subsistence, production, and transportation expenses relating to research and development activities (including participation in professional workshops or independent programs of study in non-academic institutions). In addition, travel grants are available for travel that is in response to an invitation related to the public presentation of the applicants' work and ideas. Candidates may apply for only one creation/production grant each fiscal year.

Canada Council New Media Residencies

http://www.canadacouncil.ca/grants/mediaarts/ix127223025507343750.htm

The Grants to New Media and Audio Artists program assists Canadian artists working with new media or audio technologies as means of artistic expression. The grants support innovation and experimentation with form, content or technology by providing artists with opportunities for research, creative development and production of independent new media and audio artworks. The program offers Research Grants, Production Grants and grants for New Media Residencies. The New Media Residencies grants encourage creative collaboration and knowledge exchange between artists working with new information and communications technologies (new media) as means of artistic expression and other sectors of society that are working with new or emergent technologies. The program supports projects that provide mutual benefit to artists and host organizations through research residencies and production residencies. Grants may be used to cover direct costs of the residency, such as artists' subsistence, and the direct costs of research, creative development and production of artworks undertaken during the residency. To ensure the vitality and continued excellence of new media art, these grants help support residencies for artists committed to the creation of independent, artist-controlled new media art. Independent means that the artist initiates and is the driving force behind the proposed project and maintains significant creative control over the project. Other funding sources must not compromise the applicant's creative control.

With a first prize of $25 000, The City of Albany Art Prize aims to attract entries from artists of excellence from throughout Australia.

The artwork must be able to be hung (pinning or another method of direct attachment to the wall is not acceptable). Photography and sculpture are not accepted. This prize is proudly sponsored by the Jack Family Charitable Trust and presented by the City of Albany. The winning artwork will become part of the City of Albany Art Collection. Entries are to be submitted on CD and will be assessed by a panel of three judges who are highly knowledgeable of the visual arts scene in Australia.

Context, a digital media installation curated by artist/composer

http://www.artsandbusinessri.org/programs/spaceatalice.asp

Call for Artists, Poets and Writers The Arts & Business Council of RI and Indie Arts RI are sponsoring an ongoing digital poetry, prose and art installation, curated by artist/composer Tim O’Keefe, that will be displayed on donated cell phones. The concept utilizes a common means of communication (the cell phone) and liberates it as an artful, interactive tool that individuals can use to create, interact, express and connect. Submissions of poetry and writing must be no longer than 160 characters in length including letters, numbers, symbols and spacing. The 160 character guideline is based on the capacity allowed for modern text messaging, and transforms text messages into an artistic medium. The challenge to the writer or artist is to stick within these guidelines. ASCII art will also be accepted and does not need to conform to the above guidelines. Submissions accepted will be seen on cell phones mounted in a public exhibition space in Downtown Providence in July 2008 and possibly other spaces within Rhode Island through 2009. Submission, contact information and bio are due July 1 by e-mail to : indieartsri@artsandbusinessri.org Please put the word 'Con- text' in the subject line. About the Exhibition con·text Pronunciation: \kän-tekst\ Function: noun 1: the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs: environment, setting 2: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning. The Installation Cell phones mounted in the installation space will receive artist created text messages every 30 seconds from a hidden computer. The relationship between art, poetry and prose works will change with the random selection by the computer, but the overall environment will be cohesive. A donation basket for old cell phone(s) from visiting patrons will be on the premises to make donations to a selected charity. The Curator Tim O’Keefe is a composer, sound and graphic artist living in Providence, RI. He has created music for the Sony Playstation 2 music game Frequency and licensed music for the MTV 2001 Video Music Awards. He has worked as a sound designer while in collaboration with a variety of artists including puppeteer Heather Henson, Art Context artist Ernesto Pujol and AS220 visiting artist Jay Critchley. He is currently an AS220 resident artist and is developing music for his own label Cozy Music. For more information about Tim, go to http://www.cozymusic.org
