Call for Application: European Cultural Foundation- The 1st Cultural
Policy Research Award
Application deadline: February 25, 2004

Within the framework of Enlargement of Minds, an action-line on the
cultural impact of EU enlargement, the European Cultural Foundation
announces the 1st Cultural Policy Research Award (CPR Award). Focus:
European enlargement - which policy for art and culture?
Enlargement is a transnational issue affecting countries already in the
EU, those about to enter and those who will still be waiting to enter.
The fact that the EU does not sufficiently examine its own cultural
policy emphasizes
the need for policy research within the European transnational context.
We are almost fifteen years on from the major political shift that took
place in Europe in 1989, and the ongoing process of integration has
brought substantial changes- the cultural implications of these changes
need to
feature on both the political and research agendas. This puts at the
forefront the need for cultural policy research within a European
transnational context.
The main aim of the Cultural Policy Research Award (CPR Award) is to
stimulate academic research in the field of cultural policy, with an
emphasis on the implications of enlargement; the research will throw light
on contemporary European cultural issues and problems, possibly
analyzing them and working towards new policy solutions. The CPR Award
should also contribute to the creation of a cultural policy
"infrastructure"- a
network of scholars with competence in comparative research projects
related to cultural policy.
Additionally, the CPR Award project aims to evaluate existing research
achievements, identify existing academic centers and promote an
interdisciplinary approach in the sphere of cultural policy research.
The overall theme of the research is 'cultural implications of
enlargement'.
Preference will be given to those whose proposed research covers a topic
of interest in contemporary Europe regarding the cultural implications
of enlargement. Research may focus on a variety of topics. Proposed topics
related to cultural policy education or the re-modeling of the cultural
system and cultural institutions will be taken into consideration.
Legal, economic, social, managerial, ethical, technological and other
relevant issues (e.g. media & communication) will receive equal
attention in the evaluation process.
Priority will be given to the evaluative, comparative and
action-research projects, which cover the European or macro- regional
space. Research outcomes should contain relevant policy proposals for
systemic and
structural changes, or innovative, new ideas for re-thinking the
position of arts and culture in an enlarging Europe.
Young academics, researchers and policymakers (aged 35 or under) are
eligible for the 10,000 Euro award.

>
> The Interactive Art Program will consist of two technical paper tracks

> 1.† Technical Papers Tracks:Submission Deadline April 5, 2004

> exhibition is on interactive art works that realize powerful artistic
> concepts using multimedia content and technologies.
>
> At no time in history has technology had the prospect of making a
> stronger cross-border impact on culture. Technology can be used to
> create or reinforce boundaries (being fingerprinted and photographed
> at an airport-- a multimedia experience), as well as to dissolve them
> (we are bombarded by images and sounds from all over the world). Many

> challenging the roles of art (passive vs. interactive) and
> revolutionizing the way we see and hear the world. At the same time,
> only a small percentage of people have access to technology
> (boundaries of the haves and the have-nots).
> Multimedia content and technology are of special consideration because
> they appeal directly to our senses, elevating the age-old dilemma of
> the distinction between reality and representations of reality. Does
> this new proliferation and imbalance of multimedia technology help
> reinforce boundaries and cultural differences? Does it contribute to
> define cultural identity in a new age in which everyone talks about
> multiculturalism? Does it raise cultural awareness or simply numb our
> senses making us take deep cultural differences for granted because
> what we "see" or "hear" is commonplace in this "new" multicultural
> world? Does it create new boundaries in art or help unify multiple art
> forms? How can art, in its many roles, make use of the same technology
> that raises these issues to address them?
> For this exhibition, we seek multimedia artworks that challenge the
> participants to consider these questions through the innovative use of
> new multimedia technologies and the combination of multiple media
> (photography, video, sound, etc.). All formats are welcome (narrative,
> performance, interaction, immersion, etc.).

The MEDIAWAVE International Art Foundation declares
international diaporama, CD-ROM and DVD festival,
which will be organised annually henceforward
traditionally. Anybody can enter for the festival
with his/her audio-visual series if it is followed
by transcription and can be screened on one
surface with two projectors or with such
kind of work, which can be visualised by
the help of a computer. The aim of the organisers
is to help enforcing those new forms and tools - with
the renewal of the traditional genre - which
reflects the people's awareness of life living in
the 3rd millennium and helps to present its important
questions and answers with audio-visual tools. There
is no stipulation for the topic or technology. There
can be such applications, which are pioneers with their
intellectuality and technology in their genre, and it
would be difficult to classify them into the traditional
categories. It is possible to send in virtual exhibitions,
web-sites that prefer the audio-visual technology.
The international diaporama, CD-ROM and DVD festival
will be organised in the frame of MEDIAWAVE programs
between 23-25 April in 2004 and will be accompanied
by screenings of that works, which were made by the
invited authors, lectures and workshops.

(on off-sync). This information will help to play
back your series, as you would like.

? Slides, on which the identification code of the work
(series) indicated, and also a number, which is referred
to the screening order and a colourful dot on the left
edge of the slide (if we see in a way that appears on
the screen.) Every slide of each work (series)
must be 50x50 mm uniformly (potentially 3 mm thick) in
a glassed frame. Sticks on label cannot be used.

operational system, QuickTime Player, etc. or starting
autoexe file.
? Addressed and stamped envelope which is appropriate
for returning (from Hungary to abroad instead of stamp
we need an international reply coupon, IRC)
We appreciate bilingual summing ups of the works for

The Storey Institute Centre for creative Industries
Public Art Interventions as a Virtual Model

Lancaster City Council is in the process of developing a dynamic,
sustainable Centre for Creative Industries at the Storey Institute

The Storey Creative Industry Centre will be developed as a Hub that provides
a focal point for a number of communities of interest, creating an
environment conducive to artistic creativity and technical excellence. The
centre will provide an outstanding, inspirational work and social
environment, contributing to the development of the Creative Industries
cluster and contemporary visual and literary culture in the North West.

It is envisaged that the Storey Creative Industry Centre will provide
dynamic exhibition spaces, for the Storey Gallery and Folly, a unique
presentation space for Litfest, bespoke workspaces plus innovative business
support to creative industry enterprises.

The development of the Storey Creative Industry Centre presents an exciting
opportunity to engage a series of artists in the development of what will be
a landmark building. This work is integral to the refurbishment of the
building allied to architectural good practice.

The project Steering Group will co-ordinate a series of public art
interventions that respond to the new building‚s architectural plans, the
vision for the new Storey Creative Industry Centre and the cultural activity
of the three individual arts organisations. The public art interventions
will be realised as a virtual model.

The architectural plans hope to revitalise the internal environment of the
building with a series of new public spaces that the design will offer. With
a limited budget and short timescales virtual public art interventions were
conceived as a way to illustrate how the three arts organisations working
with contemporary artists and writers will define the dynamics of these
public spaces.

The virtual model constructed will be exhibited and shown as part of a wider
range of material to illustrate the vision and to generate support for the
project.

The Steering Group wish to engage:

1) artists and writers; in the first instance through a call to submit
initial ideas for the development of public art interventions within the
public areas of the Storey Institute.

2) the construction of main virtual model from data supplied by architects
Mason & Gillibrand, plus the development of the overall user navigation
system and interface.

Deadline for submissions:

Friday 5th March

The Sweetest Taboo

"Out of category", festival of experimental
audiovisual work
at STUK/Zed Cinema, Leuven-Belgium
from 19-24/04/2004

DEADLINE for entries: 19/03/2004
download an ENTRY FORM at
www.zedcinema.be
(scroll down hompage, click on link)

In its second edition, this years festival will pay a
tribute to EXPRMNTL., a long gone festival "Hors
Normes" founded by Jacques Ledoux, who also
established the name and fame
of the Royal Belgian Film Archive in Brussels
This experimental festival shook the foundations
of the Casino of Knokke, a Belgian bourgeois coastal town
where it was held in the years 1963-1967-1974.

Combining (your) new work and films of those remote
times, this festival wants to investigate if the
agenda of the avant-garde of today (21st century) is
still the same as it was back then.
The world has changed, did taboos on a moral AND formal level shift or are they still the same?

Values

Introduction by Igor Antic

The title '' Values'' suggests before all the
reconsideration of the idea of the inner value of
things, their sensitive and often immeasurable aspect
defined as ''one of the basic categories of the human
being''. It seems important to me to survey the matter
on the philosophical plan, on the plan of global and
local economy and on the plan of evaluation of the
contemporary art and its capacity to speak about
universal values.

During the last decade the former Yugoslavia and
especially Serbia lived through the crisis without
precedent, i.e. the war marked by ethnic cleansing,
political dictatorship, increase of nationalism and
religious extremism, numerous murders with political
background, population exodus, corruption, galloping
inflation, international embargo, NATO bombing and
status quo in the matter of borders and the name of
the country. The general chaos affected all segments
of the society, including the art and cultural milieu,
causing degradation of all moral, intellectual and
economic values.

The war in former Yugoslavia has taken over two
hundred thousand victims, although the number has not
yet been confirmed. The human life was the least
valued thing in that war. To the loss of human lives
we should add sometimes total destruction of towns and
villages and their cultural and natural heritage.

The international embargo, forced on Serbia due to its
participation in the war, caused the wild and
difficultly controlled development of local economy.
Some unusual sites of commercial trading have immerged
(flats ñ as selling and promotion places, street
markets, etc.) whereas most of the official shops were
closed. Black market bloomed as well as piratery of
cultural products and forging famous trade marks;
banks were destroyed due to the collapse of the
pyramidal systems and the citizens were systematically
robbed by the official regime and independent criminal
groups. Has the situation really changed after the
fall of Milosevic's regime?

In situation such as this, the art scene of Serbia has
long stayed isolated, disorganised and divided into
the conservatives close to the nationalistic circles
and those who wished opening.

In the light of the mentioned examples we feel that it
is important to deal with the matter ëívaluesíí in
todayís Serbia. Naturally, the same question is raised
outside of the country, too, for it is much more
complex and delicate that any concept of ëínationíí or
ëínationalismíí and exceeds the problems of any
regional crisis. It equally tackles beings as well as
things, material quality as well as ideals. The
problems of todayís world, such as terrorism,
pollution, poverty, overpopulation and exaggerated
accumulation of goods, justify the research of
fundamental and universal values.

Let us mention some of the topics that will be in the
centre of our exhibition. The majority of the worldís
population lives today in poverty while the wealth
stays concentrated in the hands of the minority which
does not wish any changes in that matter. In the
extreme crisis situation, where the social mechanisms
do not function, people organise themselves in ëíclubs
of barteríí and create systems of local exchange in
order to survive. That parallel economy, though
primary, seems to function well. As its result a new
system of values becomes operative although existing
in the margins of all large traditional economic
principles.

The next topic of research: value of democracy. As the
illustration, let us mention the recent war in Iraq.
According to numerous experts, the real reason for the
war against the regime of Sadam Husein was the
realisation of interests of the American and British
oil lobby. Sadam, who used to be among the richest
people on the planet, had built his empire at the cost
of hungered and impoverished Iraqi people. But, has
the foreign military intervention really given access
to power and wealth to that people?

Finally, we can also ask ourselves about the criteria
that define the value of the contemporary works of art
which are difficult to explain. The aesthetic
evaluation and social acknowledgement are done and
defined in the field of art. In the art market,
though, the transactions are done and prices are made.
Certain participants in that market, such as
collectors, galleries, dealers, experts, art critics,
investors, etc. regulate the social and commercial
hierarchy of artists and their works.

But evaluation of art is often the ëímatter of
tasteíí. It implies the subjective criterion,
operating in the domain of ëí relation aestheticsíí.
Another aspect makes the evaluation of art complex.
The modern techniques and artistic approaches are able
to escape the traditional definition of value of art
such as being rare, authentic, unique or original.
These criteria still make the basis of the system of
evaluation of art, especially in the frame of legal
issues, although they can be in contradiction with the
very nature of the work.

These various elements tied to the idea of ëívalueíí
mentioned in short in previous few lines initiate the
research. The artists and theoreticians invited to the
11th Biennial of Visual Arts in PanËevo are expected
to open new ways of thinking about the subject.

Proposed topics for the exhibition:
Topic 1: Universal (non-material) values
Topic 2: Tangible (material) values
Topic 3: Measures of values
Topic 4: Value of Art
Topic 5: Places of exchange
Topic 6: Too much (possession)
Topic 7: Valueless

Furthertxt is looking for contributors for future issues!!!

Please take a look at the January/February Issue of Furthertxt

which featured:

Caroline Koebel serving up a doggie dinner
Christian Nold serving notice to those who wont listen
Nick Lambert serving a sample of early computer art history
and Barley serving a reminder that the changes we wait for might have
even weightier implications.........


Writers Featured:

Caroline Koebel endeavours through a range of activities to complicate
commodity culture and hopefully shrug off its chilling effects. 'Dead
Dogs, Live Presidents, Interferences' reacts to various communication
and information bodies as if together they form a mass congestion that
asks to be first observed, then reordered, and finally re-released so
that each of the initial bodies can flow simultaneously alongside of and
away from the others.

Christian Nold is an artist, activist and designer of tools for social
change. Having published a book for Book Works about technologies of
political control, he is now studying at the Royal College of Art. His
work is focused on developing new tangible and conceptual tools that
allow groups to create their own representations.

Dr Nick Lambert works at the CACHe Project, Birkbeck College, studying
the origins of British Computer Art. This article looks at Computer
Art's status as an artform, its origins and some unexplored facets of
its history.

Barley is a writer and generally overdramatic-type. This poem was
written when the writer went though a period of life change and was then
given a new watch as a reward for academic achievement...and suddenly
the world seemed a very different place when measured with this new
time.


Please also peruse our back issues which feature written work by:
Patrick Lichty, The Critical Art Ensemble, Saul Albert, Marc Garrett,
Lewis La Cook, Ryan Griffis, Millie Niss, Peter Yeoh, Gayle Wald, Bruce
Eves...and more!
