Mono No Aware Call for Filmmakers
Call for submissions from contemporary artists and filmmakers
Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a live performance or installation
NO ENTRY FEE
Deadline: November 9th 2011

Call for submissions from contemporary artists and filmmakers creating work that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a live performance or installation.  We believe there is magic in seeing a film print projected, a presence a poet has when reading their own work, a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing music performed live.  For these reasons we encourage live projections with live additional audio/visual/performative elements.  More information on the event history, previous years participants, images, entry details and entry form can be found here:

http://www.mononoawarefilm.com 

NO ENTRY FEE
Deadline: November 9th 2011

Exhibition: December 3rd 2011 Brooklyn, New York

BEAMCAMP 2012 PROJECT PROPOSAL

BEAMCAMP 2012 PROJECT PROPOSAL
Deadline December 31, 2011

Calling all Engineers, Architects, Designers, Sculptors, Builders, Chefs, Agriculturists, Videographers, Technologists, Artists and Makers of all kinds

BEAM SEEKS PROPOSALS FOR 2012 PROJECTS
You supply the plan and vision. We’ll supply 100+ energetic campers and staff and 700+ acres of forest, mountain and lakes as studio, canvas and workshop. Submit your proposal today
(http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/) to be one of Beam’s 2012 Project Masters.

THE PROJECT
Every year Beam commissions unique large-scale collaborative Projects that serve as centerpieces of each Beam session. Our Project Management Team work with the Project Masters to “translate” the Project blueprint into the camp context. Beam Campers and Staff work together to make the Project happen. Projects can range from the conceptual to the structural.

THE CAMP
Beam Camp is a 8-week summer program comprised of two sessions for kids aged 7-17 in Strafford, New Hampshire. Beam Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design and the creative process. They transform ideas into artifacts and personal achievement into community success. Teams of campers work on different aspects of the Project each morning.

PROJECT IDEA SCOPE
- Take a look at our previous eight Beam Projects (http://bit.ly/bWlAtw). Think about how your Project will introduce Beam to new materials, media, techniques, tools, methods and concepts.
- Each camp session is 24 days long, with six, three hour work days per week. Projects should therefore be of a scale large enough to busy 108 campers supervised by 20+ adults for approximately fifty hours.
- Project Ideas should be big and result in a finished, spectacular product.
- You and/or your team should be able to tell us exactly how a group of adults would execute the kind of idea you propose.
- Our expertise is “translating” Project Ideas into the Beam context, but you must be the expert in the field(s) involved in executing your proposal.
- Your idea should take advantage of Beam’s outdoor space and rural location, but it need not be about camp or children or nature.

HOW DO I SUBMIT A PROPOSAL?
Go to http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/

WHAT’S THE DEADLINE?
Proposal submissions are due December 31, 2011.

WHAT’S THE PROJECT BUDGET?
$10,000 for Project-specific materials including prototyping costs.

For further inquiries and to submit supplementary materials please email projectproposals@beamcamp.com

 

Call for Proposals: Soundwave ((5)) Humanities, MEDIATE, San Francisco, CA

Season 5 Soundwave Call for Proposals
Deadline: October 10 2011

MEDIATE presents the most innovative San Francisco sound/art/music festival every two years in San Francisco. Bringing together purveyors from across the sonic spectrum, Soundwave produces experiential performances that will challenge the way you see and hear sound and music.

The next season of Soundwave will explore our sonic connections to the human condition. For HUMANITIES, Soundwave seeks artists, composers and musicians to investigate our human experience, and examine the future of our human constructs, cultures and rituals through sound.

From Season 4’s outward examination of the environment to Season 5’s inward reflection of our own being and existence, the 2012 festival attempts to voice what makes us human in the backdrop of the MesoAmerican Long Count Calendar “Rebirth” and the ensuing mythologies and theories.

Soundwave seeks experience-driven performances that reinterpret the connections between sound and our human experience through its instrumentation, concept, visual collaboration, installation, audience interaction, or production by local and international sound and media artists, technologists, designers, musicians, and composers.

http://www.me-di-ate.net/call-for-proposals-soundwave-5-humanities/

the questions
How can the human body, mind and spirit affect sound? What are the future sonic traditions of our cultures (ethnic, social, community)? How will technology affect our humanity and our sonic experience and traditions? What does it means to be human? (How we live, where we come from, how we think, and how we construct existence (physical, emotional, spiritual)). How will we construct our humanness (ideas about higher power/purpose, myths, legends, cultures and traditions, human consciousness, metaphysical constructs, human identity, human exchange, and our relation to the world)? How do we measure existence now and in the future? What does evolution look like/sound like for the self, body, mind/intellect, and the world?

concepts to consider
electric body impulses; mind-manipulated sound technologies and recordings; body sonics; body instrumentation; brain waves to soundwaves; re-imaginations of ritual acoustics, spiritual, cultural, social acoustics, sonic legends, myths, folklore and fables; new concepts of the Griots, Bards, & Minstrals; hybridized traditions/cultures; imagined utopias; evolutions, regeneration, rebirth, and revolutions; how the world came to be in present form/ future form; supernatural heroes, gods, shamans; magic, illusions and faith; re-imagination and re-interpretations of existence; regenerations and cycles of life; re-interpretation of the home/soul/heart; new ways of experiencing human instinct and desire; human-enabled sonic technologies; dance collaborations, film collaborations, theatrics, and other artist imaginations.

No, No, I Hardly Ever Miss a Show , Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw

Open Call - 10.12 - 12.02
Deadline: 16 October, 2011

No, No, I Hardly Ever Miss a Show is a project about the public, that is also co-created by the public by giving people the possibility to comment on the exhibition scenario proposed.

A survey, created in cooperation with the sociologist Joanna Erbel, carried out amongst Zachęta’s spectators will investigate, amongst others, how the gallery, and its exhibitions and staff are perceived by visitors. Zachęta’s exhibition halls will become a space for an exchange of ideas and thoughts, both in a “traditional” way (lectures, discussions), as well as in an interactive manner (workshops, art interventions). The audience, who is the main protagonist of the exhibition, will be able to actively participate in the creation of the show by sharing its comments, manifesting its expectations and, finally, voting on issues regarding the construction of the exhibition and the popularity of an artwork. The exhibition will reveal the mechanisms through which the gallery operates. By becoming, to a certain degree self-referential, the exposition will demonstrate the processes involved in the preparation and running of an exhibition. Additionally, the project will also function as a study of the audience, conducted not only by means of surveys, interviews or publications, but also through the exhibition and its accompanying events. We hope to get a lively response and lots of feedback.

No, No, I Hardly Ever Miss a Show is a quote taken from a report concerning Zachęta and its public, produced this year by students of sociology, under the supervision of Mikołaj Lewicki, on the basis of a larger study regarding art galleries and their audience. This phrase, taken out of context, can be used to describe what seems to be an ideal viewer: one who is dedicated to the gallery to such an extent that he/she attends almost every exhibition. However, under the surface this viewer is nothing but a mere spectator, who makes no selection of what they see and does not engage in a more in-depth way in any of the art shows (this would be difficult given the number of exhibitions attended). This viewer comes to exhibitions purely for the sake of coming, always being a passive visitor and never an active participant.

This phrase also describes the situation of the curators who work on a full-time basis at the gallery and who therefore by definition are present at almost every exhibition in Zachęta. Thus they look at the expositions that take place here from a totally different, in-depth perspective.

We would also like to know how artists, who form a peculiar group of spectators, perceive us- the gallery. The peculiarity of artists is based on their duality, on the one hand they are creators and active participants, on the other, they can be also considered passive viewers. This is why we are announcing an Open Call – in which we invite artists to submit their artworks and projects together with a completed questionnaire. The elements comprising the exhibition No, No, I Hardly Ever Miss a Show will contribute to the image of the gallery and its public. The title phrase is the starting point for research into who really visits exhibitions at the Zachęta National Gallery of Art and how they do so.
