Deadline for application is 10 november 2008
Open to all media.
Exhibition dates: 22 november till 5 december 2008, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

OPEN CALL:
Europa Neurotisch

Giving one answer to “What is Europe?” is complicated; at first it’s a continent but also a political and economical union of the more prosperous countries residing in the continent.

Today one could argue that Europe as a word would direct more to the European Union than to the continent itself, and therefore would place itself more into the context of one economic and political unit.

But although this process takes place in the light of democracy, does it reflect it’s inhabitants unity? Is there a unity at all?

Within this show we would like to address these questions in an almost informal way, the show could be seen as sort of a roadmovie; sights, sounds, ideas make up a fabric that as a whole could be described as Europe.

The show is not intended as a demystifying collection of answers regarding the sole identity of Europe, but more as an eclectic look at the whole concept of Europe.

Therefore the type of works we are looking can deal with micro or macro Europe; they can be political, personal, social, as long as the work has a tie to europe we are interested.

A catalogue will be made of all the works presented in the show wich afterwards will be mailed to all participants in the show.

This show will be the starting point of a series of shows dealing in some way with Europe, a second show is planned in the second half of 2009.

This call is open to individual artists, as well as collectives and artist run spaces.
There is no restriction to size or material, however we have no funding for transportation.

CALL FOR ARTISTS

RADIATOR: Going Underground *

* Sousveillance - the counterpart to surveillance, where the ‘observed’ turns around, to face and watch the ‘observer’, recording the observers actions and movements.

Radiator Festival & Symposium
part of the Performing Space series

Nottingham 13th - 18th of Jan 2009

WHEN AND WHERE

January 2009 in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, East Midlands, UK

WHAT IT IS

Even as we enter a period of recession, there may be yet a glimmer of hope. Are we facing an about turn from the last 30 years of Milton Friedman inspired economics that has left our cities wastelands of corporate monoculture? If so, there are still a few questions left unanswered…

In an era when the phrase “affects a conservation area” has been no obstacle to the planning application for a shopping centre housing solely global brands; when 12 million pounds has been spent in the East Midlands for extending CCTV systems that have miserable figures for reducing crime; when urban regeneration means the extension of the corporate high street to the exclusion of independent, local communities; when half of the entire UK population now shops in barely 1000 giant superstores….

Where do we go for explanations?

Why are our everyday movements constantly monitored and the details of our lives banked?

How is where we live a reflection of our wants, desires and taxes or the interests of powerful outside forces?

Who are the self proclaimed guardians that watch over us in our cities and who are the gatekeepers to Fortress Britain?

To unpick these questions and more, Radiator will place 5 artists at the urban coalface - the offices and backrooms of companies and institutions - where the fates of our city spaces are stamped and sealed.

Architects, planning departments, telemarketeers, city council offices, surveillance and monitoring centres – just some of the types of agencies we want our artists to infiltrate as sleeper agents, biding their time in observation, gathering information, doing work for the agency and for us.

During this time we expect our artist agents to file daily copy, to write blogs, to post pictures and draw thought maps and to eventually give a thorough account of their activities and their discoveries at a debriefing meeting, otherwise known as the Radiator Symposium on Performing Space that will take place this Autumn 08 in partnership with Nottingham Trent University.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for proposals from artists and practitioners outlining ideas for covert research into the effect of everyday business and government on the technologies and architecture that shape our cities and working day environments.

Included in the proposal should be details of how these findings obtained could be exhibited to the public.

WHAT WE OFFER

- We offer a research stipend of £1200 plus production expenses towards exhibition

- Exhibition during the Radiator Festival in the East Midlands

- A position in the Radiator Symposium on Performing Space at Broadway

- A chance to develop work further for touring internationally in 2009

WHAT WE REQUIRE

- A proposal, which shouldn’t be more than 2 sides of A4 (excluding biogs, CVs etc) which includes details of:

- Organisation, institution, department or company your residency or research will be with

- What question, approach or method you plan to use as the axis of your research

- Details of how your research might be collected, collated and exhibited including budget.

- A biography and/ or CV of past and current work

- Visual material on DVD or CDROM or internet

- a filled in submissions form (link below)

DEADLINE: Fri 14th Nov 08

CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKS

On behalf of the scientific committee and Prof. Glazier, President of the E-poetry Festival, I am glad to inform you about the 5th edition of the E-Poetry Festival, which will take place in Barcelona in 2009 (May 24th-27th) at the Universitat Obertat de Catalunya (UOC) hosted by the Hermeneia Research Group. E-Poetry is both a conference and a festival. The festival is the most significant digital literary gathering in the field. Authors and researchers worldwide meet and present their researches and works. This will permit researchers to present their latest research and artists to premier their newest works. A selection of the papers will be published after the conference following the peer review system and we will also like to publish proceedings of the conference. Artistic events will take place at key Barcelona venues such as the Barcelona Center for Contemporary Culture (CCCB: http://www.cccb.org/en/), providing authors the opportunity to present their works to a public curious about new literary and artistic trends employing technology and communication during the Setmana de la Poesia, that is also sharing a part of our artistic program.

Katherine Hayles (UCLA), Roberto Simanowski (Brown University) and Jean Clément ( Université Paris 8 ) have already accepted to be key-note speakers. The UOC’s research group Hermeneia with the collaboration of Electronic Poetry Center (University of Buffalo) and the Laboratoire Paragraph (Univ. Paris VIII) will organize the event. You are invited to submit original papers (not presented in other conferences) and works for the Conference & the Festival.

Please do not hesitate in contacting us for any further information you may require.
