I Care A Lot, Middle East Portable Discussion

Open Call Jewelry Exhibition
Deadline: 15th May 2010

I Care A Lot - a portable discussion on the Middle East present a collection of Jewelry artworks in a group exhibition dealing with a verity of complicated themes associated with the Middle East.

THE CREATIVE BRIEF
Why jewelry?
Jewelry is an intimate art medium within the private and the public space which offers a personal relationship and an encounter between the wearer ,the viewer audience and the actual jewelry. It is an invitation to start a conversation and it can make a meeting possible. The body is a portable show case and the wearer chooses what and how to exhibit on him/her. Jewelry express the wearer character and sense of humor, it acts as an extension to the wearer personality, indicating his/her group of belonging, it is asking questions or claiming its opinion about the reality in which we live in, about our society, our surrounding and ourselves. By wearing jewelries we attain communication.

Cause we care.
The region’s history and present are seeded with continuous violent national, ethnic and other conflicts. In many aspects the Middle East is considered to be one of the most sensitive and unstable regions in the world; strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously. It is located in the center of the international politics agenda. Its historical role, its huge reserves of crud oil and its significance for the three largest monotheist religions are usually taken as reasons for the world’s ardent interest in the region. But the attitude towards the Middle East has pasted the point of a keen interest in world affairs.
By now it seems clear that the Middle East is perceived, especially by consumers of Western media, as the place where world dramas converge, or - more accurately - collide. It is almost the opposite of the Bermuda Triangle: everything that happens there pops up on our radars.
What is the Middle East? What is the source of our attraction to it? Is it just that it happens to be the most eventful place on earth? What is the nature of our commitment to effecting the future of the region? Do we really care about what goes on there? Do we really care about what goes on anywhere that is elsewhere? Do we care about the Middle East in a way similar to the way we care about how people look at us? Do we care about it the way we care about what people see in us?

DATES & JURY
I Care A Lot is online and open for entries from the 5th of September 2009. Entries will be accepted until March 2010. The nominees will be chosen by an international jury, and their art works will be exhibited online from the 15th of May, 2010.
A limited addition color printed catalog will be published on June 15th, 2010. The project will then be offered to galleries and museums for a future exhibition.
The International jury members will be announced soon.

The Abraaj Capital Art Prize, 2011

The Abraaj Capital Art Prize announce a new application process for 2011
Artist Applications open October 1st 2009
Deadline: January 31st 2010

The prestigious Abraaj Capital Art Prize, established by the Dubai-based private equity firm Abraaj Capital, is expanding the number of winners to five from three for 2011 to offer more contemporary artists from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA) the opportunity to benefit from the resources and global recognition the prize offers.

The Dubai based private equity firm, Abraaj Capital, developed the US$ 1 million prize in 2008 with Art Dubai, and has since awarded the prize twice, each time to three sets of winners comprising an artist and an internationally renowned curator. The award is granted on the merit of a proposal of an unrealised project, and is the world's most generous. Works are unveiled in March at Art Dubai, Asia's premier art fair. The MENASA region comprises twenty-four countries, and stretches from Morocco to Bangladesh, and Turkey to Sri Lanka. The range and diversity of cultures and artistic heritage is vast.

Given the prize's generosity, Abraaj has concluded that widening the number of winners to five will give more artists from this culturally rich region of 1.6 billion people the opportunity to create a work of art that pushes the boundaries of their practice and offers them an international platform to showcase themselves and this generally under-represented region.

In a second change to the structure of the prize, artists will be able to submit proposals themselves.

After identifying the five winners, the Selection Committee will invite one internationally renowned curator to work with the artists on their five projects. The Abraaj Capital Art Prize is unique in many ways, including being the only one in the world that simultaneously rewards the merits of curating as well as artistic production.

Abraaj Capital is a committed patron of the arts. The art prize, now in its second year, has quickly achieved international recognition and boosted the overall profile of art from the region as well as each of the winners to date. The works of the 2009 winners are currently on display in the prestigious Museum of Arts & Design in New York.

To apply as an artist for the 2011 Abraaj Capital Art Prize, please visit http://www.abraaj.com/acap or contact the Abraaj Capital Art Prize Manager, Laura Trelford at artprize@abraaj.com or +971 4323 3434.

Critical Photography series, Intellect

Proposal for photography and critical text for a new series of photo books by Intellect

Since 1986, Intellect has provided a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects. As a leading academic publisher in the fields of creative practice and popular culture, Intellect has a strong list of visual culture and contemporary art focussed publications. We aim to offer a platform for photographers, writers and creative artists to present and critically reflect on their work and to produce original, adventurous projects.

Critical Photography seeks to encourage visual and textual reflection on/with contemporary photography; to marry photographic work and critical texts, representing a balance between the two forms. The series is at the forefront in expanding the notion of critical debate: each book investigates a theoretical issue via two systems of representation, placing them at equal level. Neither text that 'explains' pictures nor photography that 'illustrates' text, the series addresses aspects of our being and becoming in a thought-provoking and aesthetically stunning form and content.

We are interested to receive proposals both in photography and critical writing for the series. To send a proposal for a volume in the series, please download a questionnaire http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/MediaManager/File/CriticalPhotography_proposal.doc  or contact books@intellectbooks.com.

For further information, contact the series editor Alfredo Cramerotti (alfredo@intellectbooks.com).

About us

Intellect is an independent academic publisher in the fields of creative practice and popular culture, publishing scholarly books and journals that exemplify our mission as publishers of original thinking. We aim to provide a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects, and in this way we differ from other publishers by campaigning for the author rather than producing a book or journal to fill a gap in the market.
 
We publish in four distinct subject areas: visual arts, film studies, cultural & media studies, and performing arts. These categories host Intellect’s ever-expanding topics of enquiry, which include photography, drawing, curation, community music, gaming and scenography. Intellect titles are often multidisciplinary, presenting scholarly work at the cross section of arts, media and creative practice.

Intellect seeks to offer an unbiased platform for quality critical debate; we are committed to representing the author’s voice authentically, without imposition of our personal ideas or opinions. We place great emphasis on providing a service to our authors and editors.

We have a robust international distribution arrangement, including partners such as the University of Chicago Press, Turpin Distribution, Gardners, Inbooks and Book Editions. Find out more about Intellect by reading our in-house full colour magazine, IQ. http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/MediaManager/File/iqUS(web).pdf
