Greenwashing

Greenwashing = when single 'green' services are advertised, but the core business is not sustainable. Is this cheating on customers? Does it work with them and the politicians? How do Greenwashers work? The exhibition is intended to explore these questions with open media and parallel discussions. Send your CV, description of work, format, technical equipment. We are a non-profit, self-organized project space. For production, technical equipment, transport and insurance is no budget.

Trans-ideology: Nostalgia | Transartfest 2013
•Application Deadline

01.05.2013

Trans-ideology: Nostalgia

Trans-ideology: Nostalgia aims to show a selection of new video works from international artists that cover a wide range of ideas surrounding the concept of nostalgia. Fabio DaSilva and Jim Faught suggest in their article ‘Nostalgia: A Sphere and Process of Contemporary Ideology’ (1982) that nostalgia isolates and mythicises selected objects from the past so that we feel we are enjoying a more tranquil and conflictless past. This nostalgic past is somehow not completely the reality, rather, it is ambiguous and is purified. DaSilva and Faught indicate that the past is usually perceived as more tranquil than the present. The nostalgic past ignores real material conditions and tensions, and embraces an emotional utopia.

Nostalgia offers a comfort zone where we find a peaceful and conflictless past, and where we escape from the hectic and demanding real life in capitalist society. As nostalgia reduces our critical engagement with the past, history is not entirely real but is selected and mythical. Therefore, nostalgia is based on either dreamy and

experimental interacting groupshow | Kreuzberg Pavillon
•Application Deadline

03.05.2013

KREUZBERG PAVILLON is a collective, open, continuously growing self-institutionalization of fine artists in Berlin and beyond.

With more than 70 shows in the past two years and 480 artists on all levels of professionalism the Pavillon is currently one of the most vivid non-commercial platforms for contemporary art in Berlin.

Based in Kreuzberg, we aim to establish an art institution with a minimum of exclusion that integrates and aestheticizes social and political processes.

Following this line, we do not consider an artist´s work as good or bad - but judge it by the context of the particular show, location and time. In a typical Kreuzberg exhibition, works by the artists can be found next to non-human artifacts or even spontaneous performative interventions by the audience.

With the concept of being an architecture in time the Kreuzberg Pavillon presents new shows every thursday in quarterly a year changing locations.

Kreuzberg Pavillon is preparing an experimental interacting groupshow on May the 18th 2013 with naked walls, one single catalogue and 10 selected artists, whose works will be handed out and carried by the visitors during the
opening.

The catalogue as part of the installation will be an unique piece and registrates the presence of the artworks in the room. The works are handed out to the audience and may changes it´s presenter during the evening.

All forms of wearability in form of necklaces, rings etc. are allowed. Wearability is the onliest requirement.

Please submit your proposals until May the 3rd, 2013 to :

http://www.aaa.org.hk/

This symposium will explore the role exhibitions play in the development of art historical canons, pedagogy, and the public reception of recent art in and from Asia.

Exhibitions are where artworks meet their publics. Lately, exhibition histories have become the subject of considerable international research interest. In the context of Asia, however, in the absence of systematic public collections and substantial academic art history departments dedicated to 20th- and 21st-century art from the region, exhibitions are more than just sites of display and interaction. Exhibitions—and by extension, curatorial strategies, institutional demands, and forms of art writing accompanying exhibitions—have become the primary sites of art historical construction for recent art from the region.

The selected project will be developed and presented in 2013 and 2014 at TodaysArt in The Hague, Insomnia in Tromsø and FutureEverything in Manchester. ECAS is supported by the European Union within the Culture Programme.

Theme: Ubiquitous Art and Sound – art and the everyday

The submitted works need to relate to the theme Ubiquitous Art and Sound. This theme explores the ever-growing omnipresence of technology in everyday life through new approaches in creating art and sound for the public domain. Digital formats are everywhere. A consequence of the ever-spreading reach of media and the rise of new technologies. This phenomenon is matched by new artistic approaches to creating art and sound for the public realm.

Planning and Deadline
The Open Call will open on April 13, 2013.
The deadline for applications is May 13, 2013.
The selected work will be announced during the ECAS Partner Meeting in May 2013. The selected work will be presented at TodaysArt (The Hague, 24 – 28 September 2013), Insomnia (Tromsø, 19 – 26 October 2013) and FutureEverything (Manchester March 2014). There is also the possibility of presenting the works at other ECAS-project festivals or within the broader ICAS-network.

Fees and Production Budget
The selected work carries with it a fee of € 5.000 and production costs of a maximum of € 5.000 for each of the three presentations (managed by the respective festivals).

EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD
•Application Deadline

17.05.2013

Since its inception in 2002, the German Klangkunst-Preis has been
awarded to artistic works focusing specifically on fostering the
creative use of space and sound. In addition to the intrinsic artistic
quality, acoustic assurance and sculptural certainty are above all the
criteria for assessment and evaluation. Beginning in 2014, the EUROPEAN
SOUNDART AWARD will expand the German Klangkunst-Preis onto a
Europe-wide platform and include the entire genre of acoustic art.

The 2013 competition already incorporates the European orientation,
while remaining true to the constituting principles of the German
Klangkunst-Preis. Thus, the title: From the German Klangkunst-Preis to
the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD. This year's competition marks the founders' conclusion of the decade-long phase of the German Klangkunst-Preis.


For the Klangkunst-Preis 2013, existing artworks based on spatially
influenced sound creations should be entered. A jury of experts will
select works for an exhibition in the Glaskasten Marl Museum of
Sculpture, to open 20 October 2013. Additionally, the same jury members
will also invite a number of competing artists to Marl in the summer of
2013 to develop a concept for the creative design of the city centre.
One of these concepts will be selected for completion.

The Klangkunst-Preis 2013 is to be awarded by the Museum of Sculpture
Glaskasten Marl, Culture Radio wdr 3 and the Initiative Hören.

Further information on Marler Media Art Awards 2013 and application
forms can be found at

Marler Video Art Award 2013
•Application Deadline

17.05.2013

The works submitted for the Video Art Award 2013 must relate
thematically, formally or in its presentation to the specific (museum)
space. Therefore its ideal presentation location should not be a cinema
space. The spatial reference here also means avoiding linear narrative
structures while featuring a different, non-linear temporal structure,
such as a loop, which is ideal for presentation in a museum. While
classic, single-channel videos on a monitor or projected on a screen
remain acceptable, preference is given to multi-channel installations
and installations extended through use of additional materials.

Works submitted must have been produced after January 2010. Twenty works
will be selected by the jury for the exhibition in the museum and will
be presented together with the projects selected for the Sound Art Award
2013.

amber'13 Art and Technology Festival | DID YOU PLUG IT IN? Fool Your Smartness | call for artworks and papers
•Application Deadline

20.05.2013

Smart phones, smart tickets, smart cities, smart cars, smart buildings, smart living, smart economies, smart moves...

Smart abounds in the market-speak of today's technologically sophisticated conditions. The ever-growing inflation of smartness, fostered in large part by the pervasiveness of digital technologies, hails us from all directions. Smart appears as a strategic device that qualifies all sorts of acts and objects under the hegemony of the economy-political logic of consumption, profit and control. New and ever-smarter products of all kinds pop-up regularly and one risks being left behind by not heeding the call, the constant invitation to try out and to consume the latest.

While smartness is praised and suggested as a sort of power to be possessed, foolishness becomes those moments and spaces in which we encounter with critical interrogation, creative thinking and deconstruction. We suggest foolishness as a category of thought and a tactical positioning to bring out the subversive potential of smart technologies.

We invite artworks and papers that rethink, open up a

amberFestival is interested in interactive installations and papers that explore its title

With the subtitle of "Fool your smartness". We are suggesting several discussions around the theme from market-speak of todays sophisticated -so called- smart technologies to foolishnes, from the "drama" of being unconnected to commedy of it.

We see the theme as a tool to think and work with, and the festival as an opportunity to raise an artistic voice. You alone will define that voice.

The works selected among the applications to this international call, will be exhibited at amber'13 Art and Technology Festival. We also encourage outdoor interactive installations.

DEFAULT 13: Art, Cities and Regeneration. Asia – Europe
•Application Deadline

26.05.2013

It is a biennial project conceived to address following key questions:

How do we interact within the framework of broader governmental policies concerning urban regeneration? How can we tackle the increasingly politicised policies that underpin cultural endeavours in revitalising urban centres and neighbourhoods? Do artists, curators and art managers have to default to the increasingly unfeasible regeneration practices entrenched in cultural structures because there are no alternatives given?

The project was born at a time when art workers, policy makers and cultural managers are confronted with mass funding cuts in the public sector. As the art and cultural communities face the disappearance of cultural regeneration projects, DEFAULT 13 proposes to face the uncertain future of such projects.

Particularly, the new 2013 edition is a collaborative project between European and Asian cultural institutions, focusing on the promotion of knowledge exchange concerning curatorial and artistic practices between the two continents.

DEFAULT 13 is organised by Ramdom (Lecce, Italy) in collaboration with Arthub Asia (Shanghai, China) and with the support of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF), Arts Network Asia (ANA) and Trans Europe Halles (TEH) as part of the programme Creative Encounters: Cultural Partnerships between Asia and Europe.

DEFAULT 13 is a multipart project, composed by :

1. the DEFAULT 13 Masterclass in residence. Asia _Europe (Lecce, Italy);

2. several international collateral events;

3. the production of artistic urban regeneration proposals;

4. a final publication.

GROW YOUR OWN... | SCIENCE GALLERY
•Application Deadline

26.05.2013

Calling all synthetic biologists, bio-artists, bio-designers, amateur biotechnologists and bio-hackers. Science Gallery is seeking proposals for projects for our upcoming flagship exhibition GROW YOUR OWN...

“[This is] the first self-replicating species we’ve had on the planet whose parent is a computer…. This is a philosophical advance as much as a technical advance,” J. Craig Venter, announcing his ‘synthetic cell’ in 2010.

GROW YOUR OWN... is a curated, open call exhibition tackling provocative questions raised by synthetic biology, and is supported by a Society Award from the Wellcome Trust. Curated by Professor Paul Freemont (Imperial College), Professor Anthony Dunne (Royal College of Art), Cathal Garvey, Daisy Ginsberg, and Professor Michael John Gorman (Science Gallery), GROW YOUR OWN... offers audiences a participative experience to explore the possibilities and potential implications of synthetic biology, through an exhibition, events and workshops.

Popular accounts of synthetic biology often seem to suggest that its applications are restricted only by the limits of our imagination; GROW YOUR OWN... asks how realistic these dreams are. Many of the ethical, social and cultural questions that synthetic biology raises are long-recurring themes that research at the frontiers of science provokes, such as living versus non-living, human culture versus nature, design versus evolution. Exploring these, GROW YOUR OWN... will contain works that bring visitors into dialogue with the complex boundaries between life and non-life and the intentional design of living systems. The exhibition will tackle the utopian and dystopian extremes often projected by government, industry, the media and environmental campaigners - from the promise of solving the world’s energy and food problems, to the threat of world-ending bio-catastrophe - enabling audiences to make a nuanced and thoughtful assessment of the field.

FIELDS - Call for Participation
•Application Deadline

31.05.2013

In 2013 we aim at organising a number of workshops and event,
beginning with Transmediale 2013, where the initial matrix of Fields
gets jointly developed. This work is a step to the launch of the
final exhibition Fields from May 15 to August 03 as part of Riga
Culture Capital 2014, at Arsenals Exhibition Hall of National Art
Museum in Riga. Fields is co-curated by Armin Medosch, Rasa Smite and
Raitis Smits, and will get produced by RIXC in collaboration with a
growing number of networks and partners.

If you have an art or artistic-research project that fits one of
those categories or where you feel that it extends this concept,
please send a short description to: fields[@]rixc.lv

Fields starts from the assumption that the changing role of art in
society is one where it becomes a critical interloper in patterns of
social, scientific, and technological transformations. The range of
practices which were once subsumed under terms such as media art,
digital art, art and technology, art, and science have experienced
such growth and diversification that no single term can work as a
signpost any more. Fields is about mapping those expanded fields of
artistic practices which are contextual seedbeds for ideas and
practices aiming at overcoming the crisis of the present, inventing
new avenues for future developments by bringing together
traditionally separated domains. Fields is about new ecological and
transversal trends in art, outlining potential future trajectories
for multifarious types of activities that merge politics, technology,
ecology, gender, semiology.

Museum & Society journal Museum education today: synergies and innovations in multicultural contexts
•Application Deadline

31.05.2013

We invite papers for a forthcoming special issue of Museums & Society
which will explore the current state in museum education theory and
practice. Our rationale begins with the notion that museums can engage
new audiences, trigger aesthetic sensitivities, exercise creativity
and imagination. In today’s multicultural societies, museums need to
explore new synergies with educational institutions and develop
innovative means to address educational challenges in engaging ways.
In addition, information and communications technologies (ICT) as a
burgeoning field of investigation provide to museums a plethora of
tools to share resources and communicate broadly to a wide range of
users.

The purpose of this special issue is thus two-fold: (a) explore the
synergies developed by museums in order to address the impact of
informal education in multicultural contexts and (b) the ICT
innovations imported in enhancing learning in informal and non-formal
contexts.

Themes may include -but are not limited- to the following areas:

• Museum education in multicultural contexts: new research questions
• Community outreach and museum education
• Engaging immigrants through museum education: emerging case studies
Museums and schools: towards the re-definition of a creative synergy
• Learning by doing through the use of interactive activities
• Experiential-based learning and museum education
• ICT and personalized museum education
• Mobile experiences and museum education
• Gamification and museum education
• Crowdsourcing and museum education
• Virtual and augmented reality and museum education

Send your abstract of 300 words along with a brief CV in both guest editors:

Dr S. Sylaiou (ssylaiou[@]yahoo.gr) and Dr A. Filippoupoliti
(afilipp[@]yahoo.gr)

The issue is scheduled for publication in November 2014

Solid Interfaces & Urban Games: Digital Games in the Public Space. Call for Projects
•Application Deadline

31.05.2013

Open Call for project proposals to be developed during a production workshop for the creation of video games related to public space and the city as an interface (July 1-7, 2013) in Medialab-Prado (Madrid, Spain).

During seven days of intensive work, ideas will be tested and prototypes developed by working with partners and technical assistants.

Deadline: May 31, 2013.


More information and submissions: http://medialab-prado.es/article/convocatoria_interfaces_solidas

Framework

In recent years, the video game experience has outgrown TV screens, game consoles and laptops, becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The availability of mobile devices, tablets, sensors, geolocation services, augmented realities and media facades has allowed the development of new game ideas experimentally and as a prototype. At the forefront of these game forms, which take place in some cases without the screen as an interface, is the interaction with other users and with the environment.

Moreover, commercial controllers like Wiimote or Kinect have popularized the idea of the game away from the traditional game controller, transforming the game into a complete physical experience.

This workshop proposes to think about games in the public space as an opportunity to generate other uses of the city and connections among its citizens.

Pandora’s Box – 100 years of Franz Kafka’s Judgement
•Application Deadline

31.05.2013

In May 2013, it will be exactly 100 years since Franz Kafka’s story “The Judgement” saw the literary light of day in Max Brod’s yearbook “Arkadia”. The short work, only 17 pages in original typescript, emerged from the author on the night of September 22nd, 1912 “as a true birth, covered with filth and slime”, as he stated in his diary on February 11th, 1913. It remained his lifelong “favourite work”, whereas he later wished to have most of his other works destroyed. The story was not blessed with success during his lifetime. In 1919, there were still unsold copies of the original Arkadia print run of 1000. However, “The Judgement” was also available as number 34 in the series of dime novels entitled “Der Jüngste Tag” (English: Judgement Day) published by the Kurt Wolff Verlag. Between two and three thousand copies of this second edition were sold from 1916...

Participation is open to all artists who wish to be artistically inspired by this exorbitant story. This is the official call for entries. Registration by email (kontakt(at)oberwelt.de) or mail till May 31st, 2013, performances welcome. Submission and installation of works July 17th/18th. Introductory talk to be held by Dr. Gerhard Oberlin.

The Oberwelt member Dr. Gerhard Oberlin is literary scholar and author of the recently published analysis of Kafka’s works entitled “Die letzten Mythen” (English: The last Myths)

Gerhard and Ellen Rein proposed the lecture be followed by an exhibition presenting artistic responses to Kafka’s “The Judgement”.

Exhibition opening: 19.7.2013, 7.15 pm
