Qb³ presents [spot]
Parking spots (selected by DesignPhiladelphia) along S. Broad Street
17 October 2008, 6-8pm
Philadelphia artists and designers claim the urban parking spot — an idle space between the bustling streets and sidewalks of the city. We invite you to submit a visual proposal for [spot], a series of outdoor interventions that explore the potential dynamics of this momentary public space along Broad Street.
Proposals should evolve the notion that these spots — even if only for a few hours — can be occupied by design and engage with the public. Responding to the condition of the site (a 6’ x 12’ street parking space), entries should mark a moment in the urban landscape, emerge from the noise of SUV’s and double-parked UPS trucks, and provoke new thought on this disregarded public space.
Each submission should provide a clear understanding of the installation’s final design, concept and portability. Proposals must be submitted in a printed 11” x 17” format to be considered, with at least one image showing the proposed design integrated within a parking spot and how it is accessed or viewed by the public. All design/arts disciplines are encouraged to submit an entry for consideration. The competition is open to students, professionals, individuals and groups. The Philadelphia-based jury will select entries to be included in [spot] in conjunction with DesignPhiladelphia 2008.
Jury:
– Susan Davis, Director, Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority Public Art Program
– Erik Olsen, Erik Olsen Graphic Design
– Janice Woodcock, AIA, KieranTimberlake Associates LLP
Requirements for Submission:(1). 11” x 17” printed board illustrating concept, mounted on foamcore (Layout should include at least one image and 150-word description of the concept). Entrants’ name(s) CANNOT appear on any part of the submission that goes to the jury. All submissions MUST be completely anonymous.(2). CD with digital image files at 300 dpi(3). Sealed envelope with project entry form.

The Jerome Foundation supports several world-leading organizations such as Rhizome and Turbulence, who foster new media art practice and are important champions of such work.

Selection Criteria for the AOV Fellowship and Mentorship Programs
All applicants must be Minnesota residents and considered emerging artists. Evidence of some professional achievement is expected, but not an extensive record of accomplishment. Fulltime students are not eligible, with one exception.

The Mentorship program begins in fall 2008 with an intensive 3-day “Boot-Up” Camp, October 10-12, co-presented with MCAD. Over the ensuing 9 months, artists will have bi-weekly individual and group mentoring sessions and critical workshops by visiting curators and artists on multiple occasions followed by a joint exhibition in the spring/summer of 2009 at a venue to be determined.

Selection Criteria for the AOV Fellowship and Mentorship Programs
All applicants must be Minnesota residents and considered emerging artists. Evidence of some professional achievement is expected, but not an extensive record of accomplishment. Fulltime students are not eligible, with one exception. If an artist enrolls in an undergraduate or graduate degree program or takes classes while maintaining a current and active professional practice of creating and presenting work to the public, she/he is eligible. Artists may be supported as individuals or as equal collaborators.
Applicants should:
- Exhibit talent and interest in work produced at the intersection of art,
media, technology, and social practice, particularly in ways that are social,
collaborative and/or participatory. The quality of past work as
demonstrated through work samples will be considered. - Demonstrate a commitment as reflected in the Project Proposal and/ or
Artist Statement in experimenting with the boundaries of one’s art practice. - Demonstrate the ability to artistically accomplish in a timely manner an
artwork for public presentation. - Present a compelling Project Proposal (a less critical selection criterion for
Mentorship Program)Please email AOV@northern.lights.mn if you have questions about eligibility.
Twin Tracks: Fellowships and Mentorships
A total of six commissions will be awarded. Three of the six commissions are outright fellowships for the production of new work and a joint exhibition in the spring/summer of 2009. The other three commissions are part of a 9-month, experimental mentoring program for the development, production and exhibition of new work. The Mentorship program begins in fall 2008 with an intensive 3-day “Boot-Up” Camp, October 10-12, co-presented with MCAD. Over the ensuing 9 months, artists will have bi-weekly individual and group mentoring sessions and critical workshops by visiting curators and artists on multiple occasions followed by a joint exhibition in the spring/summer of 2009 at a venue to be determined.
The call for submissions is open and available here.

The American Print Alliance is organizing a traveling exhibition of prints, paperworks and artists' books by artists who are 2008 subscribers to Contemporary Impressions or members of our allied councils. Our first venue will be at SCAD-Atlanta during our Print Dialogue Days, September 25 - 27, 2008.

Theme The theme will be interpreted broadly to include the principles, rights and responsibilities of democracy and how prints inspire people to choose democracy, defend freedoms (of speech and the press, religion, etc.), serve in elected office, vote, demonstrate for fair governance and otherwise take part in political life. Work must fit the theme but will not be rejected if it is controversial or does not reflect the views and opinions of the Alliance's director and board of representatives.
Selection Thirty to forty works will be selected based on interpretation of the theme and quality of the work. No attempt will be made to balance artists from different parts of the country, various techniques, or liberal or conservative ideas. Works will be chosen to create an exhibition that is visually exciting with multiple viewpoints that are thought provoking and even confrontational.
Entry Open only to ORIGINAL prints, paperworks and artists' books.
Works will be juried from slides, photos (4 x 6" minimum, to 8 x 10"), and digital photos printed on paper (color inkjet or laser printouts, on glossy or plain paper). Do not send digital files (jpegs, CDs) for jurying, print the file on paper.
Size and Presentation Prints, paperworks and artists' books that are flat may be any size up to the maximum frame size of 16 x 20 x 1 inch deep.

The Bookmark Project 2008: Insert
Deadline for Submissions: October 1, 2008 (RECEIVE)
The Bookmark Project 2008: Insert
The Koffler Gallery
Koffler Centre of the Arts
Toronto, Ontario
October 30 to November 10, 2008
Guest Curator: Liya HyunJoo Choi
Held in conjunction with the Koffler Centre of the Arts 32nd Annual Jewish Book Fair
Part of FLEX… an ongoing program of site-works and interventions organized by the Koffler Gallery of the Koffler Centre of the Arts
About the Bookmark Project
For the seventh year in a row, the Koffler Gallery is organizing The Bookmark Project, an intervention of artist-designed bookmarks concurrent with the annual Jewish Book Fair organized by the Koffler Centre of the Arts. This year’s theme, Insert, explores the interplay between the reader and the bookmark in the act of reading. The reader inserts him/herself into a book, activating it with their emotions, memories, and thoughts. When the reader pauses, the act of inserting a bookmark tangibly signals a temporary exit while simultaneously indexing the point of re-entry into the text. As an insert, the bookmark becomes a place holder for the reader’s hands, eyes, and thoughts, marking territory and preserving their intimate relationship with the book. Denoting the reader’s absence, the bookmark’s presence echoes their memory inside the book. Upon returning, the reader once again replaces the bookmark in order to immerse back into the text. The act of reading therefore proceeds in the continual interchange between the reader and the bookmark, initiated and sustained by the process of ‘inserting’.
Both unique bookmarks and multiples created by fine art students and practicing artists will be introduced into the 8,000 books on display during the Koffler 32nd Annual Jewish Book Fair held from October 30 to November 10, 2008. The event draws an attendance of approximately 10,000. The bookmarks will also be on display in the Koffler Gallery showcase through November.
Requirements
Bookmarks for the intervention should be functional and should not damage or scratch the books on display. Artists are requested to submit two original bookmarks: one for the public intervention that will not be returned, and one for display in the showcase. Artists whose bookmarks are selected for this project will receive a nominal artist fee, determined by the number of participating artists and issued by mail within 30 days of the close of the exhibition.
Results will be announced shortly afterwards.
