CALL FOR ARTISTS, COMPOSERS, and PRESENTERS
Submission Deadline: 11:59pm PST, October 31, 2008 (postmarked)
The University of Minnesota West Bank Arts Quarter and Collaborative Arts Program (COLA) are proud to present the 2009 Spark Festival of Electronic Music and Arts, February 17-22. The festival will be held on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota (USA) and neighboring Minneapolis performing arts venues, and will feature numerous guest artists to be announced.
Now in its seventh year, the Spark Festival showcases the groundbreaking works of music, art, theater, and dance that feature use of new technologies. Last year's festival included innovative works by over one hundred international composers and artists, including featured guest artists Paul Demarinis, Graffiti Research Lab, Iancu Dumitrescu, and Richard Devine. Leading scholars and technology specialists also presented lectures and panels relating to new technology and creativity. Audiences for the concerts, installations, and lectures last year totaled approximately 4,000 people and garnered multiple articles and reviews in local and national media.
Spark invites submissions of art, dance, theater, and music works incorporating new media, including electroacoustic concert music, experimental electronica, theatrical and dance works, installations, kinetic sculpture, artbots, video, and other non-traditional genres. Although Spark does not force submissions to adhere to a annual theme, we are especially interested this year to feature wearable and mobile technologies, and events will include the first Spark Fashion Show.
Spark also invites submission of scholarly lectures and panel proposals on topics of Collaborative Arts, Interactivity, Cognition, Compositional and Artistic Process, Social and Ethical Issues in the Arts, Art, Music, Video, Film, Animation, Theater, Dance, Innovative Use of Technology in Education, Scientific Visualization, Virtual Reality, intermedia composition, performance, human-computer interaction, software/hardware development, aesthetics, and history and all topics related to the creation of new media art and music. For Spark 2009, we are particularly interested in lectures about wearable and mobile technologies, but submissions on any of the above topics are welcome. All accepted papers will be published as part of the Spark proceedings. Please see http://www.spark.cla.umn.edu/media.html for PDF copies of the Spark 2006, 2007, and 2008 proceedings and program.

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.

EXTENDED DEADLINE CONFERENCE PROPOSALS:
NEW DEADLINE NOVEMBER 5, 2008
Specters, Hauntings and Archives Graduate Conference
University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
15 – 16 January 2009
Deadline: October 25, 2008.
‘So far gone am I in the dark side of the earth, that its other side, the theoretic bright one, seems but uncertain twilight to me.’ (Melville, Moby Dick). The world of theory and art has recently been inhabited by dark spirits and haunted historical subjects: from the writings of Derrida on spectres to Hal Foster’s definition of the artist as archivist, to postcolonial and trauma studies. This conference proposes to ‘roam’ rather than to define a ground for theory in the ever growing and ambiguous discourse on hauntology, spectrality, and archivization. Supported by the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, the Institute of Culture and History (University of Amsterdam) and the Dutch Postgraduate School for Art History (OSK, Utrecht), this 2009 graduate conference aims for an interdisciplinary approach and a platform for the exchange of ideas between graduates, PhD students, more established scholars and artists who are at different stages of their research. We seek proposals for papers from different research fields in the Humanities and the Arts and also encourage participation from artists. Topics for discussion may include, but are not limited to:
- the figure of the ghost in film, literature and visual arts.
- the interplay between the spectral and notions of a/visuality.
- the political dimension of ghosts and archives
- documents as monuments
- memory and amnesia in the city
- Zeitgeist: spiritual revenants in popular culture
- the work of mourning
- the return of the dead
Please send an abstract of 300-500 words and a brief paragraph about your recent research project(s) to Tanja Baudoin at ghostconference@graduate.org. Artists are kindly asked to provide (some) visuals as well. Proposals are accepted until the 5h of November. The abstracts will then be evaluated by the organizational team and potential speakers will be notified.

CALL FOR COLLABORATION

NEED_FOR_ART_SPACES
“Need for Art Spaces” is a project that investigates visions and developments in exhibiting and mediating contemporary visual arts starting from Balkans (Albania ) .The aim is to gather various perspectives of artists living and working in this region an UK about the need and the performance of independent art spaces.
The primary focus is not on museums or other similar structures, but rather on project spaces, initiatives run by artists and art associations.
The spaces for art have a history of conflicts, not only in the limited meaning that individuals, different groups and cliques has struggled over the right to exhibit, but rather the conflict over a significant space for a societal discourse, and to be more precise: a conflicting discourse over societal space. One main topic of interest is the transitional space for art, provided by society, with a history no longer than modernity itself.
Artists running spaces, art spaces, and artists associations till the beginning provide to artist’s communities the opportunity to act out of institutional structure like museums that have more strict policies mostly related to the tradition. They are open to the public and the community. With their performance this initiatives become a space for ideas, a factor that help art to be active on the social development.
A research will explore the need of new art spaces and the performance of such initiatives and structures on four countries involve in the project.
The partner organizations will arrange contacts with institutions for art education and independent art spaces in their home country.
The perceptions of artists, art professionals, art students that are in involve in such a structures in Balkans and UK art - scene will be part of the research based on extensive interviews with approximately 50 artists art students, as well as with art curators and theorists in all the partner countries. They will give their opinions and show their statements through questions related to the need for new art spaces, the ways how this spaces can be build, the ways how public, sponsors and other donors can be involved in they building process etc.
This material will be gathered with the aim to be used on the activities organized after:
1- The workshop when partner countries representatives and Albanian artists, art students, curators and others, will share the material gathered during the research, and will discuss diver’s models and developed a “catalogue of ideas”
2 - The exhibition in Tirana when video, photographic and textual presentations of the artist’s artstudents and curator’s standpoint, evaluations and ideas will be shown.
3- The publication when the research and the exhibition will be documented.
4- A space on internet will be use to present the project development and for comments.

Project Description
Two artists, Miriam Songster in NY and Hege Dons Samset in Berlin are producing a photography-based blog (blog.weatherphotos.org) for The Transcultural Exchange (www.transculturalexchange.org/). We are looking for other people, artists and non-artists alike, to participate by sharing photographs with partners across the globe.
The basic idea behind the project is to use photographs to communicate feelings about the weather. Over a two-week period you will send one photo a day to your partner and they will send a photo back to you in response. We are interested in the personal and sometimes subtle shifts in emotion or mood that might be portrayed in the photos, so you can use this project as a way to get to know someone better or to develop ties to someone new.
Let us know if you have a partner in mind or if you want us to hook you up with one, and if you have a preference for where that partner is located (preferably someplace with different weather patterns than the ones in your area). You might also choose to participate while you are traveling and share your photos with a partner at home. And if your job is weather-dependent we will be extremely happy if you participate.
All of the photo sets will be available via the project blog, which will become a reference for both weather and emotion, across geography and time. The project will take place over 9 months ending in March 2009 and you can choose to participate at any time during this period. You have to commit to two weeks of photo swapping but you can continue for longer if you want.
To participate please email Miriam at weatherphotos@spamex.com. There’s no requirement for participation but please include some basic info such as where you live, when you think you’ll want to share photos (approximate dates), who you have in mind as a partner or where you would like us to locate a partner for you, and a sentence or two addressing why you’re interested in the project. If you can also tell us how you found out about the project that would be great.
