From: Marisa Olson Date: Dec 7, 2007 Subject: Prix Ars Electronica Media Art Research Award 2008: "Interactive Artforms" Marisa Olson 1: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dr. Katja Kwastek <kwastek AT media.lbg.ac.at> Date: Dec 7, 2007 6:28 AM Subject: Prix Ars Electronica Media Art Research Award 2008: "Interactive Artforms" To: NEW-MEDIA-CURATING AT jiscmail.ac.uk Dear CRUMB readers, Please consider submitting for this award, Katja In conjunction with the 2008 Prix Ars Electronica, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research will be awarding a prize honoring an outstanding theoretical work on the subject of <Interactive Artforms>. Prix Ars Electronica Media.Art.Research Award wants to further scholarly investigation of media artforms that have not yet gotten established in the context of art museums or in the commercial art world, and of processual, conceptual and interactive art that assumes subversive, situational and committed positions at the interface of art, technology and society. This new theory prize (prize money: 5.000 euros) is designed to accord due recognition to the important work being done by art historians and media scholars in the field of media art, which has emerged over the last two decades as an innovative, wide-ranging discipline in its own right. The great diversity and tremendous current relevance of this branch of artistic production call for theoretical and scholarly reflection on the historical significance of such artworks, on how to mediate audiences' encounters with them and on their conservation. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research has been pursuing precisely these tasks since its founding in Linz in 2005. The theory prize competition is meant to promote an international discourse centering on the theories, methodologies and standards of media art. Essential to this agenda is the necessity of defining terms and developing a theoretical framework in a way that affirms pluralism and emphatically rejects any sort of final categorization of such artforms. What can you submit? Theoretical works dealing with some aspect of <interactive artforms> can be entered this year-for example, * a university thesis/dissertation, * a scholarly article, * an essay, * a book or * an online publication. The work must either be in the form of a completed manuscript or have already been published. Individuals or groups of people of any nationality are eligible to enter. The Prix Ars Electronica Media.Art.Research Award is meant to recognize basic scholarly research and contemporary theory construction that addresses current scientific, social and artistic issues. In the judging, decisive emphasis will be placed on the submission's contribution to the latest research and not on the historical merits of the author. Consideration will also be given to the Ludwig Boltzmann Society's overriding objective of fostering the careers of promising academicians. The jury will pay particular attention to the quality of the work's content and its scholarly relevance. Contemporary methodological approaches expressed in a clear, understandable way are especially welcome, as are innovative publication formats (e.g. online publishing). Deadline for submission: March 7, 2008 (but if you submit as early as possible, you give us more time to read your contributions ;-) More informations about the Prix and the online registration: <http://www.aec.at/en/prix/index.asp 2> http://www.aec.at/en/prix/index.asp 2 <http://www.aec.at/en/prix/cat_media_art_research.asp> http://www.aec.at/en/prix/cat_media_art_research.asp + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome Needs You!

From: Rhizomer Date: December 7, 2007 Subject: Transitioners: Le Producteur, an exhibition by Societe Realiste at La Synagogue de Delme, France. CENTRE D'ART CONTEMPORAIN LA SYNAGOGUE DE DELME TRANSITIONERS: Le Producteur Opening on Friday, December 14, 2007 at 6pm. Exhibition from December 15, 2007 to February 17, 2008 La Synagogue de Delme welcomes Societe Realiste for their first personal show in an art center in France. Societe Realiste is an artistic cooperative, created by Ferenc Grof and Jean-Baptiste Naudy in 2004. Their activity consists in developing various research enterprises, successively dealing with territorial ergonomy, experimental economy, counter-strategy, or political design, as is the case of the project Transitioners, initiated in 2006, and for which they have been invited to Delme. Transitioners is a trend design agency, specialized in political transitions. Transposing the principles of prospective design, generally used by professionals in the field of fashion, to the field of politics, Societe Realiste questions the revolution (transition?) as a central category for contemporary Western society. How can a "democratic transition" be produced? What is the role of design in the permanent conversion of political flux into mythology? How can the effect of an event on citizens be transformed into a controlled affect? Depending on present atmosphere, Transitioners defines the general climate, in which future social transformation movements will take place, in order to maximize their efficiency. By examining the evolution of revolution as a form, the project offers visual and semantic tools ready to be used by whoever wishes to: logotypes, color charts, lexical fields, etc. For each new step in the project, Societe Realiste conceives a new trend collection, originated by a precise historical event. In 2007, the inspiration for Bastille Days was the French Revolution. The 2008 collection, entitled Le Producteur and inaugurated at la Synagogue de Delme is based on the utopias developed during the first three decades of the 19th century, by thinkers such as Fourier, Enfantin, Rodrigues, Cabet, Owen, or Saint-Simon. A wide panorama (pictorial and theatrical device inherited from that time) will be inscribed in the architecture of the art center, allowing the visitors to discover the latest research of Transitioners. The central question of the 2008 collection is related to the progressive separation of liberalism and socialism. While they have a common origin and were not differentiated by major utopist thinkers, the events of 1830 and 1848 progressively opposed them. This binary confrontation between liberalism and socialism still constitutes the basis of our common representations. For Transitioners, the interrogation of this ideological chasm, of its accuracy and its contradictions, is central. The stake of the collection Le Producteur consists in knowing how these movements share a common ideological base, and how the later can nourish the design of future transitions. In 2006-07, the Bastille Days collection was presented at Trafo Galeria (Budapest), at the Kunstpavillon (Innsbruck), on the occasion of the 2nd Biennale of Moscow, at Mains d'Oeuvres (Saint-Ouen), at Ze dos Bois (Lisbon) and at the Martine Aboucaya gallery (Paris). Societe Realiste will also present Transitioners: Le Producteur from January 29 to February 24, 2008 in the context of Transmediale 08: Conspire, at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt of Berlin (www.transmediale.de).

From: Turblence.org Date: December 9, 2007 Subject: To our users Many of you may not realize that we are a tiny, not-for-profit organization. Helen and I spend much of our time raising funds from government and private foundations to commission networked art. Our mission is to support both emerging and established artists. There are very few resources for new media/networked art in the United States, which makes the process highly competitive. When we succeed, we are only entitled to use a very small percentage of the grants for server maintenance and administrative overhead, which translates into inadequate salaries for ourselves and our system administrator. Our passion for the field has fueled our commitment for many years, but we can no longer sustain Turbulence, Networked Performance and Networked Music Review without your help. We hope you value them enough to help us keep them alive. Please go to Turbulence (http://turbulence.org) and make a donation now.

From: Rhizomer Date: December 12, 2007 Subject: Panel with Marina Abramovic, Performance by TallBlondLadies When Time Becomes Form Panel Discussion, Dec. 15 Performance by TallBlondLadies, Dec. 18-22 Saturday, December 15, 2007, 3-5 p.m. WHEN TIME BECOMES FORM Public Program Performing Life What is real life in performance art today? How many lives can a performance have? Are virtual experiences comparable to live performance? What is the future of performance art? Please join us for a panel discussion inspired by these questions and the ongoing performance series When Time Becomes Form curated by Marina Abramovic for Artists Space. With panelists: Marina Abramovic, Emcee C.M., Master of None, Beate Zurwehme and Ana Prvacki Moderated by: Jovana Stokic About the participants: Born in Belgrade, New York-based Marina Abramovic has been producing seminal work in performance, film and video since the early 1970's. Using her body both as subject and medium, she has produced work independently as well as in collaboration with Ulay, who she worked with until 2000. She has received numerous awards and distinctions, including The Golden Lion at the Biennale di Venezia in 1997. Brooklyn-based Emcee C.M. is an emerging everyman nobody, a loving caricature of the worlds preoccupation with the questions of work and leisure. He received his MFA at the University of Connecticut in 2005 and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2007. He has presented numerous unofficial and collaborative projects in public spaces and is currently artist in residence at the Cue Art Foundation in Chelsea. Beate Zurwehme from Frankfurt on the Main (Germany) is one of the highest profilized theoretical gender and politics experts in media arts. In 2005 Zurwehme's political installation artwork "PARIS / TEXAS" lead to ongoing hazardous situations in French capital's suburbs. Born in Pancevo, Serbia, performance artist Ana Prvacki lives and works in Singapore and New York. In 2003, Prvacki founded Ananatural Production, an innovation and lifestyle consultancy that combines conceptual concerns, contemporary issues and various methods of communication. For more information visit www.ananatural.com Belgrade born, New York-based art historian and critic Jovana Stokic is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. She received her BA from the Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Art History at Belgrade University (Yugoslavia), and her MA from the Art History Department at the University of California, Riverside. She is currently Curator of the Kimmel Center for University Life, New York University. When Time Becomes Form is an ongoing performance series of long-durational work curated by Marina Abramovic. The performance series grows from Artists Spaces commitment to experimentation across all art forms and recent efforts to return performance art to its central position within the gallery's activities and exhibitions. The series consists of twelve distinct, but interrelated, durational performances, each created and presented by a different performance artist, all members of the Independent Performance Group (IPG). The series explores and questions issues of concentration, will power, and determination, and uses the gallery space for 6 hours during each day of its presentation. December 18-22, 2007* TBL (TallBlondLadies): Solidly Grounded Opening Reception: Tuesday, December 18, 5 p.m. Artists Space is pleased to present TBL (TallBlondLadies), a collaborative project between the artists Anna Berndtson (Sweden/Germany) and Irina Runge (Germany). This exhibition marks the third installment of the durational performance series When Time Becomes Form curated by Marina Abramovic. The duo will present Solidly Grounded, a collection of three works, performed over five days for five hours per day, in Artists Spaces main galleries. TBL inverts female stereotypes through the composition of absurd and unexpected performative gestures, often incorporating a range of accoutrement from high-end fashion to sports gear. Their works present diametrically opposed concepts; beauty and grace are juxtaposed and diminished through brute action and athleticism, tacitly disrupting and challenging gender-based categorizations. The three pieces to be included, Big Dip, Ascendant Landing, and Potential Fertility Rite, are distinct yet share the recurrent core elements of sound, rhythm, and form embodied through purposeful movement. The symbols of the Celtic knot, the line, and the Lemniscate (eternity sign) provide the foundation for each of their performances, allowing for a poetic exploration of female tropes through notions of timelessness and the everyday. *PLEASE NOTE: special gallery hours Tuesday-Friday 5pm-10pm Saturday 12pm-5pm Additional support for TallBlondLadies: Solidly Grounded has been provided by Ledragomma (www.ledragomma.com) Artists Space 38 Greene St. 3rd Fl, NY NY 10013 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and an affiliate of the New Museum of Contemporary Art.
