Pittsburgh, PA + Quantum Theatre Front Porch

Quantum Theatre seeks to commission an artist, designer or architect to help us create a…well we don’t really know what to call it. A mobile “front porch,” so to speak. Quantum moves its audience all over the region, which is adventurous and interesting and an integral part of the theatre. But because we do not have a regular performance venue, we seek to add one consistent and unique element – a transportable, collapsible porch/tent/ yurt. We think that the consistency provided by one always present architectural element will serve a wide purpose, acting as an identifier for Quantum, as well as a place where audience members can gather for receptions and conversation. We hope that, as art itself, it will deepen our audience’s experience and connection to Quantum's work.

Deadline: August 13, 2010
Budget: $1,500

Savannah, GA + Writing on the Wall  

The act of writing a list, sending a personal letter and even passing a note have become few and far between in the digital age. An e-mail or a text message, however efficient, no longer hold that personal touch. Handwriting is so specific to an individual that this form of expression within itself seems to have been left behind by contemporary telecommunications. Writing style is dynamic: an unfinished work to be modified, revised, and shaped over a lifetime. Writing on the Walls examines and celebrates the personal idiosyncrasies of the art of handwriting through various mediums: letters, notes, grocery lists, and other organic print pieces that continues to exist despite today's increased use of digital methods.

We invite you to join us in our exploration of the ever disappearing art of the written word.

Eligibility: This juried exhibition is open to national and international artists (professional, emerging, and student).

Media/Genre: Open to works of all genres and media.

Entry Fee: You may submit up to three pieces for a non-refundable entry fee of $15. The entry fee may be paid online or with cash, check, or money order (checks and money orders should be made payable to DESOTOROW GALLERY).

Derbyshire, England + Sutton Scarsdale Hall Call for Concepts

Concepts and proposals can be submitted as drawings, images or texts, by email to the address listed below.  All ideas, gestural, utopian or pragmatic are welcome.  At this stage we need to raise an initial £1,250,000. Fundraiser launch in London: late Autumn 2009

The skeletal remains of Sutton Scarsdale Hall continue to decay. A dilapidated wreck of a structure, you enter at your own risk.  In the very heart of England, Sutton Scarsdale Hall is to become the Pavilion of Postcontemporary Curating.

What is a pavilion of postcontemporary curating? First it will be a new international art facility set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. The current Hall is a perfect exhibition/ performance space, lit from above, with high walls, neutral floor. It will be dedicated solely to new curating. Second, the Pavilion of Postcontemporary Curating will be a sculptural work incorporating the remains of Sutton Scarsdale Hall.  Third, the pavilion of postcontemporary curating will provide a home for the Centre of Attention and its archive.

The space will have a special remit to act as a 'patron' to working class artists and curators by providing these facilities for free.  It will facilitate new media production as well as old, it will have a library, archive, research facilities and study resource, studios and accommodation as well as a gallery dedicated to the history of the house.  A sculpture, it will become part of the regional landscape and act as a beacon to advanced ideas and art praxis in the regional and international scene.

Timetable for the pavilion: (2009) secure the remains of the building. ACT NOW to stop the decay; source architects through competition and re-imagine the site; recruitment and announcement of Advisory Board (2010) construction of sculpture/art centre (2011) completion and inaugural exhibition and residency.

Den Haag, The Netherlands + Marcello’s Art Factory/URM Project

An Urban Ready Made (URM) is a street, a building, a view, an object or an event in an urban- or industrial environment, where a conjunction of circumstances cause beauty and art. When an artist or architect declares this (with some ritual proceedings) art, it becomes an Urban Ready Made.  With the Urban Ready Mades Project we would like to bring art closer to people. Art doesn't have to be difficult to understand. You can find beauty everywhere and to enjoy art you don't have to visit a museum or an exposition. We hope our project lets people realize that they can find art and beauty in their own city.
Marcello & Els, the founders of the project, want to give other artists and architects a chance to declare an URM in their own surroundings and join this unique concept. This way there will grow a "gesammtkunstwerk" (a collective work of art) of thousands of URM's, which will go beyond borders. Firstly this is going to take place in the form of a virtual exhibition on the World Wide Web, crossing virtual borders. In the year 2010 it will become a traveling exhibition, kicking off in The Hague.

Washington D.C. + Transportation Research Board 90th Annual Meeting: Call for Papers

Papers are requested to show how the promotion, planning, and development of arts projects can create a more humane, connected, beautiful, and relevant transportation system, and how investments in art in transportation help to economically revitalize and stabilize communities in which the transportation system is located.

A paper could highlight important provisions while summarizing and synthesizing a group of existing guidelines. Papers may focus on the cost, cost-benefit, funding, and support for art in transportation in the law.

As a Subcommittee of the Intermodal Transfer Facilities Committee, the explorations and studies produced under the umbrella of the Subcommittee on Art in Intermodal Transfer Facilities will be inclusive of all transportation modes and place high value on multimodalism and intermodalism.

International Publication + Art & the Public Sphere: Call for Papers

Art & the Public Sphere invites contributions from artists, theorists, historians, curators and cultural activists. We seek interdisciplinary articles, which confront orthodoxies, propagate debate and reflect on art’s role in the public sphere. We encourage fresh approaches to research arising from practice, theory, philosophy and politics, and welcome contributions from new and established researchers, scholars, practitioners and professionals.

The first issue of the journal will focus on the 'Intersection of Politics, Art and Urbanism‘ but we also invite contributions for future issues on any aspect of art and the discourses related to the public sphere, such as ‘public’, ‘publicness’, ‘making public’ and ‘publishing’.

Experimental approaches to writing and criticism, and visual essays/contributions are invited. Articles, to include a 250 word (max.) abstract, should be sent to the Principal Editor, Mel Jordan, who will also respond to preliminary enquiries about suggested contributions to the journal.

Our reviews section includes public art commissioning and contexts, curatorial projects, exhibitions, publications/books, architecture/planning, performance/events, symposia/conferences/debates and artworks. Please send proposals, suggestions and submissions to the Reviews Editor, Paul O’Neill.

Deadline: July 16, 2010

This five-day professional development course introduces K-12 classroom educators,

learning, the Gateway Arts in Education Institute invites participants to experience
three works of art through inquiry, art-making, careful attending, context and
reflection. Guided by teaching artists, attendees explore the choices made by the
artists in creating the works under study and uncover how these works of art can
be integrated into their curriculum, providing opportunities for deep learning with
their students.

Works of Art to be studied include Brazilian Jazz performance by the Lilly Abreu & Trio,
three photographs by Charles “Teenie” Harris and a newly commissioned performance
by Attack Theatre!

The Institute is the beginning of a collaborative relationship between teachers and
teaching artists (the Partnership) that features a work of art as a text for learning.
Attendance at the Institute is a prerequisite for participation in the Partnership.

Registration: Cost is $265 per attendee or three educators from a school for $500. Additional
discounts may apply. Call Kellee @ 412.362.6982 for details or to register.
