1. REMINDER: Alain-Martin Richard asks Torontonians to lend him their hands
Until February 10, 2006

Étrangers is an urban "manoeuvre" being undertaken in the neighborhoods of Toronto as a form of research into the "other". Regardless of religion, language, or nationality, there is one thing among others we all share: and this is "the hand".

My work in the city will be to gather rough material, to seek out intimate contacts and to find a way to make it happen. I seek hands. If you live in Toronto, lend me your hands. Your hands may be black, white, or brown. They might be from here, or from elsewhere. This project seeks a method of recognition, a rapport stripped down to what we share.

It will take only a few moments of your time. I have only one question I would like you to answer on videotape. Starting with this collection of material and other footage taken in the city, I will present a multimedia installation here in Toronto at the beginning of June.

I am in residence in Toronto from January 10 to February 10, 2006. You can reach me by email (amartan999 [at] yahoo[dot]ca) or by phone (416-825-7240).

Alain-Martin Richard

CITOYENS VOLONTAIRES RECHERCHÉS

Manœuvre urbaine, Étrangers s’implante dans les quartiers de Toronto à la recherche de l’autre. Au-delà des religions, des races, des ethnies, tous ont au moins une chose en commun : je pense ici aux mains. Que fait-il de ses mains, cet autre noir, blanc, jaune, basané, musulman, chrétien, bouddhiste, cet autre sectaire, cet autre ouvert sur le monde, cet autre colocataire de la ville ? Suffit-il de cohabiter ? Comment se rendre de l’un à l’autre ?

Mon travail dans la ville repose sur la cueillette du matériel brut, sur le contact intime et le trajet pour s’y rendre. Je cherche des mains. Si vous habitez les quartiers centraux de Toronto, prêtez-moi vos mains. Je les souhaite noires, blanches, brunes, je les souhaite d’ici et d’ailleurs. Il s’agit d’une modalité de reconnaissance… d’un rapport dépouillé entre nos ressemblances.

Ça ne prendra que quelques minutes de votre temps. Je vous pose une seule question en présence d’une caméra vidéo. À partir de ce matériel et d’autres prises de vue de la ville, je présenterai le tout dans un multimédia au mois de juin, ici même à Toronto.

Je suis en résidence à Toronto du 10 janvier au 10 février 2006. Vous pouvez me rejoindre par email (amartan999[at]yahoo[dot]ca) ou par téléphone (416-825-7240).

Alain-Martin Richard

APPELS DE DOSSIERS

Projets de résidence 2006-2007

Centre d'artistes autogéré voué à l'accueil d'artistes en résidence, Le Lobe perçoit l'artiste et son oeuvre comme des générateurs de sens et des constructeurs de questionnements. Chaque artiste séjournant chez nous vient parcourir et investir tant l'épiderme sensible du Lobe que la dynamique des « géographies » qui l'entourent. Lieu de recherche et de diffusion curieux, explorateur, Le Lobe possède un dynamisme et une situation uniques. En effet, depuis plusieurs années, le centre cohabite avec les artistes des ateliers TouTTouT, bénéficiant ainsi d'un contexte d'échange et de production privilégié.

Constamment à l'écoute, faisant preuve de souplesse envers les artistes qu'il accueille, Le Lobe reçoit des artistes en résidence pour une période de deux à quatre semaines. Par la suite, le travail réalisé lors de ce séjour est présenté sous forme d'exposition, de performance ou sous toute autre forme dictée par le projet. Le Lobe favorise les croisements de poésie, d'esthétique et d'engagement; il supporte et encourage les attitudes d'artistes, les pratiques alternatives, hybrides et à risque. Le Lobe permet ainsi des interactions inédites entre le public, les artistes de TouTTouT ainsi que les créateurs et créatrices de la région.

Votre dossier doit inclure :

- intention de projet
- curriculum vitae
- texte de démarche
- 10 à 20 diapositives
- dossier de presse
- une enveloppe de retour préaffranchie.

3. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Trampoline (UK)
Deadline: February 17, 2006; Source: Artsadmin e-digest 207

Nottingham’s platform for new media art begins its Spring 2006 Programme this March - we are sending out our radar across the globe in the search for challenging new work.

Trampoline is extending its antennae to both transmit and receive in its event of regional and international creative exchange.

Questioning geographic borders and communication barriers in the age of global connectivity, we will be asking, what is their state of existence and what is their relevance today? New barriers are continuously broken yet new divisions are formed. In today’s global network, all the world is invited, but some are still excluded.

Trampoline is searching for work which contributes to these debates, challenges our notions of these boundaries and creatively comments on our entangled yet fragmentary network.

From video, animation, installation, sculpture, performance, live music and web streaming Trampoline encourages all forms of new media expressions.

DEADLINE: February 17th

6. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SoEx OFFSITE (USA)
Deadline: February 28, 2006; Source:Instant Coffee

An opportunity for emerging artists to develop and create new public works in San Francisco that investigate diverse strategies for exploring and mapping public space.

SOUTHERN EXPOSURE OFFSITE:

Southern Exposure's 2006-2007 Exhibition and Artists in Education programs will move beyond the gallery walls in order to present new forms of work in public space. Southern Exposure will temporarily relocate in the summer of 2006 so that the building that we have always called home at Project Artaud can undergo a seismic retrofit and upgrade. Southern Exposure is utilizing this unique opportunity to extend our programs into the public realm. Southern Exposure, founded in 1974, has a long history of presenting community-based projects. Through this new program, Southern Exposure has a goal of encouraging artists to work experimentally in public space, enabling artists to develop new works that could not otherwise be realized, and generating a critical dialog about emerging creative practices.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Southern Exposure will commission a series of public art projects that investigate diverse strategies for exploring and mapping public space. Artists selected through this open call will be commissioned to produce new work.

This project is informed by the legacy of the Situationists, an international artistic and political movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. The Situationists sought to radically redefine the role of art in society with a particular interest in everyday experiences in public space. They developed key concepts such as the dérive the practice of drifting through urban space - and psychogeography the study of the effects of the geographic environment on the emotions and behavior of individuals. In
addition, a goal of these projects is to reconsider the Situationists' strategies in light of new technologies such as Global Positioning devices and wireless communication, which have fundamentally transformed our ability to navigate public space.

This series will feature a range of projects that utilize strategies such as simple acts of walking and note taking, to projects that employ high-tech and technological apparatuses as a means to fuse virtual and real experiences or to disseminate geographical and historical information, to performances, actions, or events. These projects may involve the audience's
participation, enabling the public to engage in acts of urban mapping and reflect on their own experiences in public space.

Southern Exposure seeks proposals for artwork in various media including 1) artwork with a physical presence such as: installation, sculpture, or public intervention; 2) ephemeral and participatory artwork such as: performance, tour, walk, discussion, or lecture; 3) technology-based work such as new media or sound art; or 4) projects that combine the above categories. Projects will be presented between September 2006 and Spring 2007. The duration of the projects can range from a single performance to repeating events or a long-term installation. Selected artists will receive an honorarium and production budget ranging from $500 - $5,000 depending on the scope of the project. Southern Exposure will work with artists to provide support, promote their projects, and will create a publication that documents the program series after the projects have been presented. Southern Exposure will also provide a home base for artists to work, with space for information about the projects to be accessible to the public.

APPLICATION & REVIEW PROCESS:

The proposals will be reviewed by several members of Southern Exposure's Curatorial Committee. We are seeking proposals from artists who demonstrate a potential for creative growth working in the public realm, or artists who would like to extend their practice into the public realm but have yet to work this way.

Please mail or deliver your proposal package to Southern Exposure. Southern Exposure does not accept electronic submissions.

11. CALL FOR SOUNDWORKS: WILD INFORMATION NETWORK (USA)
Deadline: April 1, 2006; Source Cary Peppermint

WILD INFORMATION NETWORK
The Department of Ecology, Art, and Technology Call for Sound Works -
Deadline April 1, 2006

http://www.restlessculture.net/deepwoods

If we encountered a pod-cast, or a streaming radio server in the woods, in the "natural" environment, what kind of information would be distributed? If there was an entity, a life-form, or a "natural" other that disseminated sonic information, wild-information, how would this information sound? This project encourages artists to create audio sound works that imagine the "voice" of the ecological other and explore its translation into the language of digital art technologies.

If "nature" encountered a pod-cast, or a streaming radio server in the woods, in the "natural" environment, what kind of information would be distributed? This project could take on unpredictable, interactive, and experimental dimensions as it also encourages artists to consider themselves as human animals, beings within "nature" producing sound works for unknowable others, e.g. ferns, salamanders, flowers, mosquito, beetles, flowers, deer, coyotes, bear, water, etc.

WILD INFORMATION NETWORK is a project initiated by Cary Peppermint and The Department of Ecology Art and Technology, a performative collaborative of artists seeking to create works that explore issues that lie at the intersection between new media technologies and the environment.

The project will establish a sonic field of information produced with renewable energy, digital technologies, and ecological imagination. The information will be a continuous solar-powered series of audio transmissions located relatively deep in the woods of 940 acres in the upper Catskills of New York State. Visitors and hikers to the back woods location will use 802.11 wireless devices, Bluetooth-enabled devices, or transistor radios to receive sonic information through digital downloads, and radio transmissions.

This project is made possible by generous support from NYSFA's Decentralization Grant, The Upper Catskills Community Center for the Arts, and The Pine Lake Environmental Campus of Hartwick College.

12. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Franklin Furnace (USA)
Deadline: April 1, 2006; Source: IAPAO

THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART 2006
Supported by Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts, Franklin Furnace awards grants between $2,000 and $5,000 to emerging performance artists, allowing them to produce major works in New York. Artists from all areas of the world are invited to apply.

THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2006
Franklin Furnace awards artists an honorarium and offers its resources to facilitate the creation of "live art on the Internet," works which engage the Internet as an art medium and/or venue. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply.

Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe that this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. All applicants are automatically considered for both categories of awards. Every year the panel changes, as the definitions of "emerging artist," "performance art" and "live art on the Internet" change, so if at first you don't succeed, try again.

Since its inception in 1985 THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART has boosted the careers of such emerging artists as Tanya Barfield, Patty Chang, Papo Colo, Brody Condon, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Murray Hill, Holly Hughes, Mouchette, Pamela Sneed, Jack Waters, Cathy Weis, and Ricardo Miranda Zuñiga.

DEADLINE: April 1st, 2006 (postmark date)

If you submit a URL, it is recommended that you supply a navigation guide to all the sections of the website you would like us to visit.

February 4, 11, 18. 25, 2006; Source: Nahed Mansour

Josh Lederman's ArtHaus
DeLeon White Gallery
1096 Queen Street West (at Dovercourt)
Saturday February 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
Doors open at 6:00 pm
Installations begin at 7:00 pm
Minimum $5.00 Donation at Door

Every month of the festival (running from February to June) shall embody a specific theme, and yet no two nights will be the same – the mandate for each month is a further progression, an expansion beyond the moment week upon week, so as the month progresses, so will the nature of the expression of each individual installation.

Each event will be streamed live (and archived for future viewing) upon the website <http://www.performancearttv.com /> http://www.performancearttv.com and will be documented in other conventional formats for a possible future television broadcast and DVD release.

This month… Febuary 2006

Main floor Installations

Aerial artist Heather Hammond will utilize various elements of mid-air exploration, using everything from a trapeze, to scarves, to anything else you can think of that a human body can hang from. Heather will be in exploration of future possibilities of aerial movement, and invites the audience to watch as an evolution of the voice takes place…

Writer/choreographer/dancer Rahim Ladha has designed a physical, emotionally charged, improvisational exploration of duets, the push and pull dynamic between two individuals. The installation, by design, will leave the dancers (and the audience) no room to hide from base, primal act. Participants include Jaclyn Smith, Ariel Garten, Niki Wozniak, Ari Lesk, Shugamai Johnson, & Amira Emma Routledge and possible others as the week progresses.

Poet laureates-in-residence Erin Klee & Aeryn Twidle, throughout the month, will slowly dare the boundaries of how the word is said, or written, utilizing anything they can find, whether it's their voice, the wall, the ground.

Bathroom Confessionals…Let us just say that sometimes we show our true nature in the most unexpected of places…

And a few more surprises…

Second Floor Installations

Acclaimed poet, Jill Battson, will workshop several pieces fusing elements of dance, music, and poetry throughout the month. Her collaborators in this open exploration shall include AM Alcott, Nancy Bullis, Michael Morse, Andrew Staniland, DA Hoskins, and many others. There will be song, dance, poetic utterance, and so much more…

New voice Robin Richardson will recreate her living area (the space of her creation) and will be a resident for the entire run of Season 1 of JLAH. You are invited to walk in, observe, participate and inform what is to come…

Performance artist Nahed Mansour will workshop various ideas-in-progress within (and sometimes without…) the space. It'll be direct, and potent in nature (and sometimes a little messy, literally, and emotionally…)
