Saucy Bird by Lebusque now available to purchase

http://lebusque.com/drawings/thisyear/buy.html

I wouldn’t normally post up things for sale, but this one is a definite exception. It’s a 30″x20″ Poster Print (76cm x 51cm) of Toni Le Busque’s ‘Saucy Bird’. Toni was a student on the Creative Writing and New Media MA at De Montfort, and one of her many talents is creating these amazingly dense and intricate black and white drawings. This is the first one available for buy – I have it on my wall and it looks fantastic. And no, I don’t earn any commission on them! See more of Toni’s work at lebusque.com .

Agence TOPO ‘Geoweb’ call for submissions – deadline 15 August 2008

Residency program for Web art production under the artistic direction of
the independent curator Sylvie Parent.

Topic: The Geographical Web or Geoweb

Throughout 2009, Agence TOPO will produce a body of Web works comprising geographic references. Nowadays, the popularity of cartographic and earth visualization tools such as Google Maps and Google Earth has become an increasingly tangible component of how we experience the Web. Moreover, the use of geolocalization systems, such as GPS, is spreading and increasingly present in the digital world. Artists are appropriating these technologies to create travelogues, to reflect on urban space, and to conceive collective psychogeography and locational media projects. Artists interested in this theme, and by the production context offered by Agence TOPO are encouraged to submit their proposals. The projects could also include an “off screen” component, such as performance, installation, exhibition or mobile networks, that complements and expands the Web features and possibilities.

Submission deadline: 15 August

WAND 5 e.V. >media space 09 – open space< call for curators – deadline 14 July 2008

WAND 5 e.V. – ANNOUNCEMENT – invitation for applications
>media space 09 – open space< Deadline: July 14th 2008

Conditions of Participation

Artist of various fields/disciplines (with or without a degree), age limit: 30, mandatory participation in the project conceptualization workshop (September 2008), installation and opening from January 16th to January 21st 2009.

Wand 5 e.V. is a non-profit association based in Stuttgart, Germany. Promotion and support of independent Film and Media are our purpose and mission. One of Wand 5 e.V.’s key projects is the annual Stuttgarter Filmwinter. This internationally renowned Film festival features short film, experimental film and new media. In addition, one of the associations more important projects is the development of >media-space< , a permanent space which functions as a blank canvas for art media presentations and performances. >media-space< has the aim of playfully combining both tangible space and virtual space in one room. Through the use of new media, social, cultural and economic changes can be critically portrayed and analyzed both seriously and with humor.

For the first time Wand 5 e.V. is announcing an open competition to select the >media space 09< curator team. The selected topics of >media space 09< are “public space-visual space-acoustic space” with no limitations on the means of implementation. The concepts can be presented as theoretical critiques, workshops, performances, sound installations or installations with creative use of space. The purpose of this open competition is to establish a new experimental space >open space< in which young artists can play.

Wand 5 e.V. will put together a team from the pool of applicants who will develop the concept for >media space 09 – open space< . In a 4 day work shop (September 2008), we will bring artists from various backgrounds together. Finally the work will culminate into a combined concept for >media space 09 – open space< and enable each individual participant to expand their own artistic horizons.

The project will be presented to an International audience from January 21st to 25th. Wand e.V. will provide financial, logistics and technical support for the implementation of >media space 09 – open space<. The applicants will need to be in Stuttgart in September 2008 for the conceptualization work shop and from January 16th to 21st for the installation and opening of the project.
