DATE: March 7, 2008
SUBJECT: Art in General Open Call

Art in General facilitates the production and exhibition of artist’s proposed projects, shifting its mode of support according to what is required for the full realization of their art work.

The open call period for 2008 lasts until 11:59 pm Monday March 31st. If you would like to submit a proposal, go to our open call website http://commissions.artingeneral.org, read all the guidelines and restrictions, create your profile and get to work!

The annual open call is not designed to respond to a given theme, site, or moment. It is open-ended with the intention of inviting artists to profoundly explore their individual interests, and for them to develop a proposal that is in principle rooted in their ongoing or burgeoning interests. Art in General is interested in commissioning works that are creative, inventive, and that propose critical and imaginative approaches to content and form. The selection process also takes into account the many and diverse artistic practices that artist develop and make use of today, with the purpose of presenting various ways of being, experiencing, and working in this world.

Art in General has a different relationship to each artist, and thus to each project. To intellectually and logistically address the artist’s project proposal, Art in General acts primarily as a catalyst, sometimes as a co-producer, and other times as the starting point of a larger, long-term artistic endeavor. And this is what the commissions program aims for: to provide the artists with an optimal support structure and venue to realize and present their work in the best form—an exhibition, an event, a performance, a location-based work in the public domain or the very platforms of discursive space.

SUBJECT: Call For Entries: DRAIN journal of contemporary art and culture - Psychogeography

Psychogeography

In 1955, Guy Debord described psychogeography as “the study of the specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.” Debord’s psychogeographical map The Naked City (1957) challenged traditional ideas of mapping relating to scale, location, and fixity, and drew on the work of urban social geographer Paul-Henri Chombart de Lauwe’s concept of the city as a conglomeration of distinct quarters, each with its own special function, class divisions, and “physiognomy,” which linked the idea of the urban plan to the body. An important strategy of the pyschogeographical was the derive, “a technique of transient passage through varied ambiences”.

The ‘psychogeographical’ has had a pervasive if somewhat amorphous role in contemporary art and culture. As a creative, social and political tactic, wandering through psychogeographic spaces is pertinent to a diverse range of practices including the use of GPS systems, Internet art, photography as well as sound and performance art.
This issue of Drain attempts to gather a series of essays, artworks and creative writings that reflect on the current state of psychogeography. How have contemporary artists, writers and thinkers interpreted, or been influenced by, the legacy of psychogeography?

Rhizome Commissions Program

In 2009, Rhizome will award seven commissions with fees ranging from $3000-$5000. This year, Rhizome has expanded our scope, formerly focused strictly on Internet-based art to encompass the broad range of practices that fall under new media art. This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies to works that reflect on the impact of these tools and media in a variety of forms. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices. This year, all applicants will be reviewed by a selected jury and several awards will be granted through Rhizome's membership in an open, community vote. Proposal submission takes place online. The deadline is midnight on Monday, March 31, 2008.

SUBJECT: Programmable Media II: Networked Music

Programmable Media II: Networked Music, a one-day symposium examining the current and future possibilities of network-enabled music, will be held on April 11, 2008 at Pace University, NYC. The symposium is free and open to the public, and will include artist presentations and live performances.

Based on the rapidly expanding archive of music/sound experiments to be found on Networked Music Review and the fifteen short works recently commissioned for it, the symposium aims to stimulate critical and far-ranging discussion on emerging music and sound art practice.

To register, email turbulence at turbulence dot org with "Programmable Media II" as the subject.

Panelists: Dan Trueman, Peter Traub, Zach Layton, Sawako Kato, Jason Freeman (moderator)

Panelists will be given 5-10 minutes to make a basic statement about their work. The discussion will center on the significance of networks and whether they – and the collective behaviors of their machine or human nodes – can form the basis of compelling musical experiences.

2:30 pm – 4:30 pm: Round Table discussion

Panelists: LoVid, Tobias C. Van Veen, Adam Nash, Helen Thorington (moderator)

SUBJECT: 24 Hour Riot at DEADTECH

24 HOUR RIOT

An installation by Sabine Gruffat
Opening: Friday March 14th , 8PM – 10PM
Show runs until: Tuesday April 15th

“With noise is born disorder, and its opposite: the world.” –Jacques Attali, Noise and Politics.

24 HOUR RIOT is a controlled demonstration of mediated upheaval. An interactive video installation emphasizes the problematic relationship between media imagery and political engagement by allowing viewers localized and temporary playback control of electronic noise machines and televised depictions of civil unrest within the hermetic space of the gallery. Viewers moving around the space randomly trigger a variety of dissonant electronic noises and in turn, incrementally provoke and effect minor disturbances in the diffusion of the video riot. Similar to the continuously archived news footage documenting uprisings worldwide, the ensuing outcry and dissonance of 24 Hour Riot is abetted and disaggregated by the technological conditions of its (non)release.

Biography
Sabine Gruffat is a media artist living and working in Madison, WI. She received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Sabine’s films and videos have screened at festivals worldwide including the Image Forum Festival in Japan, the Split Film Festival in Croatia and the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the PDX Film Festival in Portland OR, The Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago, and The Gramercy Theater in New York.

Touring Olympia: Exposition Park, Los Angeles

March 14th - 2:30pm
Pasadena City College

The Temporary Travel Office and artist Sarah Ross will be leading an experiential tour of Exposition Park in South Los Angeles, the site of the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Summer Games. The tour will look at the site from the vantage point of a post-2020 future, where the Olympic Games no longer exist due to a popular revolt against their waste and inequities. As tourists are transported South from Pasadena to Exposition Park and forward into the future, they will hear a narrated history of Olympism, the international movement responsible for the Games. Once at the Park, an exploratory walk of the grounds, now a memorial to the last Olympic Games, will conclude with a participatory reenactment of the last Olympic torch lighting ceremony.

The audio tour and accompanying guide book will be available for purchase and are currently available as a free downloadable packet.

The tour is conducted in conjunction with the Anytime, Anyplace: Collective Art in the 21st Century program at Pasadena City College's Digital Media Center

The symposium also features the Futurefarmers, Temporary Services and a keynote address by Grant Kester.
