PROGRAM

Monday, April 25, 2016
2 PM: Reception at the BAI
3 – 6 PM: “Medium in Permanent Flux”
Introduction to the history of recent drawing by Jan-Philipp Fruehsorge M.A.

“Since the 1960s until most recently drawing, unlike any other artistic medium, has been continuosly undergoing a transformation process which led to a radically new view and defintion of its functions and practices. Drawing has turned from the traditional tool of developing ideas to become a transmedia universal medium, transcending the borderlines of the analog and digital realms of imagemaking and also embracing artistic as well as non artistic practices.”

The lecture will present an overview of the expanded field of drawing of the last 30-40years, putting emphasis on selected artistic positions and some pivotal institutional exhibitions that have been influential.

Thinking through Drawing Symposium - WE ALL DRAW 2015

Thinking through Drawing Symposium
WE ALL DRAW 2015
6-8 November 2015

2015 Symposium

We All Draw

International Interdisciplinary Symposium

London, Southbank

6-8th November 2015

Theme: Social and collaborative drawing practices. Sharing and reflecting on drawing and teaching practices across disciplines and cultures.

What happens when we draw?
What do we learn when we draw?
When we teach drawing what are we teaching?

The symposium will enable on-going conversations and collaborations between practitioners, researchers and educators at an international level.

Our 2012 and 2013 symposia included workshops that demonstrated innovative and experimental practices in drawing research and education, and we now bring this practical focus forward even more strongly, by including master classes from invited experts, and using visual methods for discussion and documentation. Workshops will be underpinned by cognitive analysis of what is happening when we draw,  in our many and varied ways.

The workshops will be of interest to professionals, researchers and educators from arts, humanities & STEM fields.

Master classes will cover the following themes:

–       Drawing Thinks: practical uses of drawing ‘as a tool for thought’.

–       Drawing Talks: socially engaged practices that use collaborative  drawing methods.

–       Drawing Sings: performative practices that explore embodiment.

–       Drawing Heals: drawing as a tool for promoting physical and mental well-being.

Call for Papers: Network Ecologies: Exploring Relations Between Environmental Art, Science & Activism, University of Hull (Scarborough), June 4-6th 2015 

This interdisciplinary symposium seeks to identify innovative research practices and case studies, which demonstrate how the fields of environmental art, environmental science and environmental politics/activism can be usefully combined, in order to further environmental discourse in the public sphere. This symposium is therefore interested in breaking down the categorical distinctions between art, science and politics in order to promote examples of research practice which are founded upon a willingness to collaborate and experiment. We welcome papers that identify methodological concerns, theoretical perspectives and case studies pertaining to the subject of environmental despoliation or industrial pollution, and its representation in the cultural sphere.

16th Media Art Biennale WRO 2015, Poland

May 14–September 2015
Opening events: May 13–17, 2015
Deadline: December 10, 2014

Program is open to various forms of creative artistic expression and communication made using electronic and/or digital media and completed after January 1, 2013

Entry form, conditions, details: http://www.wro2015.wrocenter.pl


WRO 2015: Test Exposure
The aim of the WRO 2015 Biennale is to give exposure to new media art experiments, individual explorations and approaches investigating the potential of art both to affect and to reflect emerging issues in culture.

Artists are invited to submit works that take on the risks of innovation, inquiry and imagination, using original observations, contemporary technologies and procedures in the process of creating inventive forms, interpreting the present and revising the notion of the future (which no longer seems to be a clearly defined project).
 
The WRO 2015 Test Exposure Biennale is a testing ground for creative, unconstrained investigations of art's potential to react to the present and to anticipate future challenges.

The WRO Biennale: about
The WRO Media Art Biennale is the major forum for new media art in Poland, and one of the leading international art events in Central Europe. Since its inception in 1989, WRO has been presenting art forms using new media for artistic expression and communication, exploring current creative territories and building a critical perspective toward emerging issues in culture, art, society and technology.
 
The previous edition of the WRO Biennale—WRO 2013 Pioneering Values Biennale—was held at 18 sites around the city of Wrocław: museums, galleries, art house cinemas, department stores, old factory halls and public space,  where the works of over 200 artists were shown. The exhibitions, concerts, performances, video projections, installations and conferences were attended by more than a thousand accredited guests and over 110,000 visitors. The WRO 2013 Catalog is available both in print and online here.

THE SCHOOL OF SOUND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM 2015

THE SCHOOL OF SOUND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
A unique series of masterclasses exploring the art of sound in film, the arts and media

Wednesday – Saturday 8-11 April 2015
Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall
Southbank Centre
London SE1
 
Registration is now open
 
What is the School of Sound?
The School of Sound is a biennial symposium created to encourage a cross-disciplinary approach to using sound in the arts and media. We explore what sound does, how audiences listen. It is a place where you can raise your awareness of how audio production works, how it conveys information and emotion, how you can work with it.
 
For four days you'll be immersed in a world of imagination, invention and innovation. Listening to presentations from a diversity of incredible talents, you will be able to disconnect from your day-to-day work, taken out of your comfort zone, to reflect on sound as something that is profoundly complex, entertaining and important.
 
Why attend the School of Sound?
The SOS is not an academic conference and it is not about how to get a job. It is a rare opportunity to hear and meet 20 creatives working at the highest levels of the arts and media speaking in detail about how they think and work.
 
And the SOS is not about just one area of sound production. The programme covers film, theatre, dance, opera, games, installation, music and radio - expanding your thinking and increasing your ability to work across diverse genres and forms of production.
 
At the SOS you will mix with hundreds of like-minded people - professional practitioners, educators, artists and students - with whom you can network, exchange ideas and create collaborations.
 
The SOS is delighted to announce the first details of the 2015 programme.
 
Speakers include
 
Choreographer SIOBHAN DAVIES in conversation with composer/performer MATTEO FARGION Opera and theatre director PETER SELLARS Sound artist and Foley specialist NICOLAS BECKER Artist, filmmaker and writer JOHN AKOMFRAH Installation artist IMOGEN STIDWORTHY Radio producer PIERS PLOWRIGHT Performance artist DICKIE BEAU Sound/music composer GERHARD ECKEL Filmmaker and composer NADIM MISHLAWI Sound designer RANA EID Interactive games sound designers MARTIN STIG ANDERSEN, JOANNA ORLAND and JOHN BROOMHALL and yoiker ÁNDE SOMBY ... with more participants to be announced in the coming weeks.

PARSE Journal seeks contributions for the 1st PARSE Biennial research conference

Call for panels, papers, performances, screenings, and workshops
November 5–6, 2015
Deadline: March 1, 2015

The first Biennial PARSE conference at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg, Sweden takes as its point of departure the question of time.

Confirmed keynote speakers are:
Jalal Toufic
Coco Fusco
Bruno Latour
Susan Howe

Time arguably has always been at the center of the research initiatives of the natural sciences, of philosophy and of the many different practices of history and social criticism. However, time also occupies a central place for the curiosity and attention of artist researchers across all the arts. The intensification of the question of time has, in recent years, prompted some to speak of a "temporal turn" across the disciplines. This conference seeks to bring together a range of researchers, drawn mainly from the artistic fields but also inviting researchers from across all disciplines to consider questions with respect to the practices, processes and perturbations of time.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
constructions of contemporaneity; time and the aesthetic; time and affect; gendered time; queer times; chronophobia; chronopolitics; chronotopes; durational practices; public time; network time; the temporal regime of the gift; globalization, instantaneity and temporal collapse; the nostalgia of capital; the temporal imaginaries of sustainability and ecological practices; the time of the political; labour time and forms of life; the time of the poem; after narrative time; empire time; revolutionary time
dead-time, end-time, out-of-time, behind-the-times and again next time…

Contributions are invited in the form of papers, presentations, artistic interventions, readings, panels, performances, public actions, screenings and workshops.

We are especially interested in contributions that critically reflect upon, and/or in some way work to modify the familiar conventions of the academic paper, the panel discussion and the artist's talk.
 
 
Rolling submission of proposals
The deadline for proposals is March 1, however, we recommend early submission.
Proposals should be sent to parse@konst.gu.se.
 
Please include:
– an abstract/summary description of the proposed contribution (300 words)
– a recent CV of participant(s)
– an indication of technical or other requirements for the contribution/presentation.
 
Note: For performances, screenings or workshop events it is especially important to have a clear sense of any technical or spatial requirements.
 
Suggested duration for contributions
– Artists' presentations, papers and readings: 20 minutes. (We are aware that some artists' presentations could require more time. Please indicate if this is the case).
– Panels: 60 to 90 minutes (depending on number of contributors and nature of panel presentations.)
– For artistic interventions, performances, public actions and screenings, please indicate the duration proposed suggestion.
 

Peer review process
Proposals will be peer-reviewed by a panel that includes The PARSE advisory & Journal editorial boards, and the PARSE working group. Each proposal will be reviewed by three members drawn from the panel with reference to relevance to the overarching thematics of time, potential in developing a dialogue across the disciplines, and originality of contribution.
 
 
Conference documentation
All contributions will be recorded for archive purposes.
 
Conference publication
A selection of contributions will be further developed for publication through the PARSE Journal in consultation with, and by permission of, the authors.
 

For more information, please visit our website: http://www.parsejournal.com

 

OPEN CALL - Nonhuman subjectivities

OPEN CALL - Nonhuman subjectivities
Deadline: 15 December, 2014
Application fee: none

Four to five hundred years ago Copernicus and Galileo 'removed' the Earth (and humanity) from the centre of the universe. In Western Philiosophy this coincides with the 'epistemological turn' away from cosmology. Western civilization through the enlightenment and into the modern age has continued to place the human experience at the center of existence. Postmodernism, for example, has reveled in human subjectivity, almost to the point of denying all else.

In response to recent cultural and scientific developments Art Laboratory Berlin is initiating an open call for art works, texts and cooperative works with artists, scholars and scientists on the general theme of non-human subjectivities.

Recent philosophical works by i.a. Graham Harman, Quentin Meillasoux, Isabelle Stengers and John Gray have questioned the solely human role of subjectivity that has formed the core of 'humanism' over the past five centuries.

We suggest a new multiplicity of viewpoints and an exploration of non-human intelligence, agency and subjectivity, that make up our planet (and beyond).

Possible topics could include

- Perspectives under threat - non-human viewpoints during the great species die off.
- Bacterial viewpoints - how microbes communicate, interact and experience the world.
- Non-human perspectives - intelligence and agency in animals, plants, bacteria.
- Re-definition of intelligence, agency and sentience in ways that are not anthropomorphic.
- What do some of these perspectives make of Homo sapiens? e.g.- 90% of the cells in our body do not have human DNA -we are a mere host, a topography, for billions of bacteria and fungi.
- How about agency (and even intelligence) beyond life - virii or crystals for instance.
- Are complex data systems, algorithms, artificial intelligence beginning to have points of view, and forms of agency that are beyond human comprehension?

Art Laboratory Berlin is seeking submissions and proposals predominantly for exhibitions, performances and workshops, but is also interested in cooperation with scholars and scientists for the production of a series of lectures, texts and a symposium

The deadline for entries is 15 December, 2014.
Chosen proposals will form part of our 2016-17 programme

Please submit your proposal by email to: nonhumanisms(at)artlaboratory-berlin.org

The application should include a proposal (not longer than 5 pages), a CV and work portfolio (not longer than 10 pages). We ask that you keep the size of attachments altogether under 5MB. For video or other large files we encourage the use of links. In rare exceptions proposals may be accepted by post, if a request is first sent by email. Please title the subject line: POST RQST.
