ART PAPERS ANNOUNCES SEARCH FOR NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Art Papers Board of Directors announced today that the organization has
begun searching for a successor to Editor-in-Chief Charles Reeve. The

taking office this summer. To ensure a smooth transition, Dr. Reeve will
remain as editor until his successor is ready to assume the full range of
editorial responsibilities.
Now one of the world's top 5 art publications according to a 2002 study by
Columbia University, Art Papers also recently received the Utne Independent
Press Award for best arts/literary coverage of 2003. The magazine will

the vision to continue its unique independent coverage of contemporary art
into what promises to be an extraordinary future. Jamie Badoud, Executive
Director since 2000, says, "The organization has never been stronger,"
pointing out that both revenues and circulation are at an all-time high.
Among Art Papers' latest achievements, Dr. Reeve calls the "revived public
events program, magazine redesign, and increase in writers' fees" some of
his proudest accomplishments.
Board President Che Watkins added, "It has been a pleasure working with Dr.
Reeve, and we wish him continued success as we look forward to building on
the work he has accomplished during his tenure with our organization."
The posting for the position follows:
ART PAPERS Magazine, a non-profit organization established in 1976, seeks an

Eyes for Other Skies - 2004 Next Wave Festival Screen Program - Call
for Works
Melbourne CBD
Deadline for submissions is 31st March (postmarked).
Eyes for Other Skies is a dynamic collection of screen-based works by
young artists presented across the network of publicly viewable screens
within Melbourne's CBD, during the 2004 Next Wave Festival (18th –30th May
2004). Multiple tangents of micro-narratives, experimental video,
up-front shorts, abstract visual moments, explorations in hypertext, AV
cut-ups, and whatever the eye can possibly hold.
Eyes for Other Skies will bring a varied and fresh showcase of screen
work to the many outdoor and indoor screens of Melbourne’s CBD,
creating a series of impromtu lounge-rooms and sudden
points-of-immersion on street benches, cafes, stairwells, tram stops
and laneways, providing the public with small windows to other worlds.
Eyes for Other Skies has four themes:
Micro narrative: Cut-ups, experiments in hypertext, mood swings, predictions of the past,
abstracted memory sequences and narratives both linear and non-linear.
Ways of Seeing: abstract visual thoughts, experiments with the 4:3 frame, explorations,
itchings, suspicions, knowings and presumptions.
Exported: VJ and video performance snippets – short insights into form and
movement, exported from their original context of performance into
moments of abstraction within the city.
Rummaged: selected odds and off cuts from the back corners of the hard-drives,
archives and craniums of the young Australian screen community.
Fragments of ideas never completed, failed and succeeded experiments,
moments of beauty, tiny pieces that never found a home.
Callout for works: Eyes for Other Skies is now calling for submissions
from artists under 30. Works may be of any length from 5 seconds up to
10 minutes, relating to any of the themes outlined above - Next Wave
Festival encourages artists to review their archive of work and submit
not only completed pieces but also visual thoughts, blueprints,
experiments and ideas, snippets and interesting mistakes. Submissions
may be with or without sound

University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Applications close on 12th March 2004
The University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK is seeking a Director to develop and manage a unique research-performance-gallery-digital media-telematic laboratory for the arts, humanities, engineering, technology and sciences.
With the working title ‘Culture Lab’, this innovative development will be both an advanced research infrastructure and the dynamic hub of new networks of creativity that engage artists, researchers and scientists in a wide range of regional, national and international contexts. Centred on a £4 million investment in a refurbished building hosting a digital media facility alongside performance and research spaces, ‘Culture Lab’ will encompass both new and established forms of creative work along an analogue-digital continuum. It embodies the University’s desire to generate new fields of practice and theory on the arts-science interface. We are looking for a person of unusual talent who understands the ethos of creative, transdisciplinary research in the arts, humanities and sciences. Possessing both a track record of creative research, the Director will be a person with the drive to enable and enthuse researchers and creative practitioners across the University, especially visual artists, musicians, writers, dramatists, composers, humanities scholars and colleagues in engineering, medicine and the sciences.
The successful candidate will be appointed to a post at or equivalent to Professorial level in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, commencing in September 2004.
Prospective applicants are invited to discuss the post informally with Professor David Campbell (Director of the Newcastle Institute of the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities) at david.campbell@ncl.ac.uk or via Miss Sarah Barber, NIASSH Administrator, ph. +44 (0)191 222 5064.

Raid has a booth at the New York art fair this year (March) and we will be
taking works on paper or photographs in a portfolio.
If you are interested you need to send some images and a resume to us for
review.
If accepted we will take 2 works from each artist,
maximum size of 18" x 24", unframed. There will be a $50 fee to cover
expenses but if the work sells you will get 100% of the sale.
The deadline for this is March 6th.
2. Artist In Residence at Raid Projects (March-June, 2004)
Due to an unexpected personal problem for the selected AIR, our
International Artist-In-Residence program has an open slot for the
March - June period of this year.
If you are interested you must send a project proposal
(This should direct attention towards a body of work that the artist
will develop during their stay which responds to actually being here,
in some way. All genres will be considered, including writers and critics),
resume and images to us ASAP.
The residency will start on March 1st, 2004 and will end on June 30th.
It will include a solo show which will open in the Project Space here
on June 5th and will run for one month. The cost is $1000 per month
($1300 if there are 2 people) which includes a studio, a seperate bedroom
and opening costs for the show.
The last month is seen as an opportunity to meet with LA gallerists
and curators to invite them to do studio visits, see the show and
discuss future co-operation and potential exhibitions, as well as
to network with other artists and critics. We will work in conjunction
with the artist to help facilitate applications for funding.
All flight, shipping, living and material costs are the
responsibility of the artist.

Excellence in Arts Access Deadline
VSA arts ( http://www.vsarts.org/ ), an international nonprofit
organization that works to help people with disabilities participate in
and enjoy the arts, and MetLife Foundation annually present the
Award for Excellence in Arts Access to arts organizations that have
established long-range accessibility goals. The $5,000 cash award is
designed to recognize organizations for adaptations in the
presentation of art exhibits, theatrical performances, activities, and
workshops that enable people with disabilities to have the same
opportunity to experience these events.
The award does not support plans to be implemented in the future.
Rather, it recognizes accomplishments. Award recipients will be
determined based on the degree of accessibility created; the degree
to which the program addresses the unique needs of their community;
and the comprehensiveness of the plan in place to make the program
a best practice.
The call for entries can be downloaded at the VSA arts Web site.

- date
- photographer's name and age (if student)
- photographer's relationship to the restaurant (eg. Owner, employee,
weekend visitor, etc.)
Stories should discuss the family's experience working in the restaurant. Some ideas include:
- A favorite funny memory or story
- How the restaurant was first started
- Family members who work(ed) at the restaurant and at what jobs

- Family recipes that are special to the menu, or items added because of local clientele tastes

Dangerous Curve, Los Angeles, seeks artists' submissions
Call for submissions
Dangerous Curve
Los Angeles, CA USA
Performance art, video, installations, experimental music.
Dangerous Curve is a new Downtown Los Angeles experimental exhibition and performance art space committed to supporting visionary emerging artists of all ages, by emphasizing one-person shows of risky, intelligent work that is not necessarily commercially viable nor currently popular. Dangerous Curve is also a new venue for performance artists, with performance-exhibits, monthly performance-art events, and an annual summer performance-art festival planned.
Dangerous Curve is looking for performance artists and experimental musicians for their monthly Performance Art and Experimental Music Nights. We will give preference to work that is, in the words of Jacki Apple, ``radical content in radical form.'' We want work that pushes the envelope, not pure dance, singing, or theatre.
Submission format: DVDs/CDs/URLs preferred. We can handle videotapes and slides, but not to your best advantage. A written description may even suffice; you can write before sending anything.
Deadline: Ongoing.

Harvestworks
(New York NY)
Harvestworks continues its commitment to support artists working with video, sound and digital media by hosting whiz bang, and evening screening of new video works.
whiz bang, which will take place May 24, will feature works exploring unconventional relationships between the video image and the accompanying soundtrack.

whiz bang is curated by Meg Shiffler, who is currently a first-year graduate student at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. From 1998-2003, Shiffler was the Director of Visual Art for Seattle's multi-disciplinary contemporary art center Consolidated Works, of which she is a co-founder. Previous to this position she was a contributing arts writer for the weekly alternative paper The Stranger, the Director of the MIA Gallery, and the Assistant Director of 20th Century Masterworks at Meyerson & Nowinski Art Associates, both galleries previously located in Seattle.
SUBMISSIONS:
Please include the following with your entry:
1. a description of the work(s) (including title, year, length and credits),

ascent
ART START
(New York NY)
We are hosting our annual exhibit, ascent, on May 21st, from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Local Project Gallery. The exhibit, curated by visual artist Byron Kim, will showcase the artwork of volunteer artists and young people working together in Art Start’s Arts in the Shelters Program. We hope you will be able to join us at the event.
Everyone at Art Start also hopes that you will be able to contribute to the event’s silent auction.
The auction will be a wall size installation of small works created by the Arts in the Shelters Program’s participants and volunteers along with New York’s emerging and established artists. Each artist will create their piece based on the following sentiment:
'The person who has no imagination has no wings.' from Muhammad Ali
We chose this quote because of the undeniable challenges facing New York City’s homeless youth, and the importance creativity plays in helping young people find their voices amidst the chaos. Homeless children are by most accounts among the fastest growing segments of the homeless population. For example: families with children constitute approximately 40% of the homeless population; and in New York City alone within the last year the number of homeless families in New York City shelters rose 23%. (U.S. Conference of Mayors; New York City Independent Budget Office) Art Start provides tools and support so that underserved youth have the chance to take off.
To date, the Arts in the Shelters Program’s weekly multi disciplinary workshops have mobilized over 800 volunteer artists to work closely with more than 8,500 young people, providing them with the chance to bolster their self worth, find their voices and express themselves.
We would be thrilled if you would consider making a contribution to the silent auction; the proceeds from which will go directly toward our efforts to produce positive change in the lives of homeless young people and our community.
If you are interested in submitting a piece to our silent auction please e-mail Chio Flores to chio@art-start.org or call her at 212 966 7807 for submission procedures.
The exhibit and silent auction will be held at: Local Project, an "art space without limitations", located in Long Island City, Queens.
Deadline to receive submissions: May 1st 2004.

UNIDEE in Residence International Program
open to students and graduates of various university faculties, to artists and to professionals from any country in the world
http://www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/index.html
The UNIDEE programs are directed by Michelangelo Pistoletto.
The work of the UNIDEE residents involves constant interaction with the offices of Cittadellarte, which put the program of responsible social transformation into effect through projects developed in conjunction with public and private institutions, companies, cultural bodies and economic and production structures.
The residents work individually or in groups to develop ideas and projects, working along creative lines pertinent to the following fields: Art, Communication, Ecology, Economics, Education, Work, Nutrition, Politics, Production, Science, Spirituality.
During the residency, meetings and seminars are held by experts and professors of various humanistic, scientific, economic, political, artistic and social disciplines.
All the events in the Cittadellarte program – exhibitions, conferences, performances and workshops – offer further opportunities for the residents to explore issues and develop ideas.
At the end of the residency, the ideas that have been generated are presented publicly at the UNIDEEUNIDEE in progress exhibition-event.
Facilities
The residents are supported throughout by tutors, technicians and assistants, who coordinate the activities and the development of projects.
One whole floor of the main Cittadellarte building is available for the residents, with a meeting and seminar room, a computer room, workshops and a space that can be used for performances, screenings and talks.
The residents are guests of Cittadellarte, which has a guest house with single and double bedrooms. There is a staffed cafeteria.
At the end of the course each resident receives an attendance certificate. This will not, however, be issued if the resident has been absent for more than 20% of the entire period of the residency.
At the end of the residency, the participants automatically become part of the Manydee network, the aim of which is to enable them to continue project work with Cittadellarte. Through Manydee, the Cittadellarte offices continue to develop the program established with UNIDEE in Residence – International Program and set up new projects, offering former residents an opportunity to collaborate actively.

New Research for New Media: Innovative Research Methods
apply for participation in an upcoming symposium
www.inms.umn.edu/convenings/newresearch...
The Internet and evolving new media and communication technologies offer researchers two sets of opportunities:
the development of new research techniques and a new, wide-open communication arena to be studied. New techniques such as email surveying, chat space interviewing, electronic brainstorming, user session statistics analysis, and eyetracking are joining tried and true research methods. New communication phenomena and emerging media usage scenarios are calling for analysis. Studies using the results of these new techniques and on the new media arena are well into the mainstream of research agendas in universities, but the focus of the papers tend to be on the findings, not the determination and effectiveness of the methods used to get those findings.
The call for papers for the Symposium is open to any researcher interested in writing a paper on the research method/s used for an actual research project on new media he/she is conducting or has conducted.
These papers will focus on the methodology used rather than the outcome of the research. The papers will discuss in depth the methodology, how they came to decide to use that method, challenges faced in the application of the method, and questions they have about effective use of the method. Papers should be 5 to 7 pages long. 20 lines abstracts along with a brief research curriculum can be sent before April 15, 2004 through the webform. Notification of acceptance is due by May 1st.
Full papers, 5 to 7 pages long, will be delivered before June 15th 2004, once they have been accepted.
Approaches from any discipline are welcomed, and diversity will be a criteria in the selection. Communication, socio-technical, psychological, cultural, linguistic, anthropological, sociological and gender studies are examples of possible areas of new media research suitable to be selected. Each of the panels will have a chair person who will select the most insightful papers and will write up a summary of the research status, concerns and challenges of that methodological area. Papers will not be strictly presented at the sessions, which will be focused on discussion. Papers submitted but not assigned to a panel will be able to be presented in a poster session if the paper’s writer chooses and if they attend the conference as a participant.

“The Cell Phone: History, Technology, Culture” Call for Papers for Edited Book
Deadline for paper abstracts September 1st, 2004.
The Cell phone presents itself at the periphery of contemporary discourse about media and culture. TV cops use it as they rush to crime scenes, teenagers use it to connect with their peers, terrorists are traced through calls made on their cell phones, extra-marital affairs draw sustenance from them. Such images, however, do not do justice to the central role that cell phones have begun to play in contemporary society. Cell phones lack the hype of the Internet but are fast approaching the cultural impact of a mass medium. They have begun to shape how we communicate; their use has created new forms of media-centred relations; and in the marketplace they have begun to influence patterns of media ownership and acquisition. In the developing world–the cell phone is often the first phone for the urban poor. In their intersection with other technologies–text messaging, the World Wide Web and digital photography/video–Cell phones have changed how we look at an omnipresent cultural technology–the ╲telephonee.╡
This edited book seeks papers that examine three overarching issues–History, Technology and Culture- as they relate to the Cell Phone. Papers from all theoretical (social scientific, cultural, critical, ethnographic, historical) perspectives are welcome. Of special interest are papers dealing with the impact of the Cell Phone in the developing world and with issues of identity politics–race, gender, ethnicity and sexuality.
Please send your queries via email to the corresponding editor, Noah Arceneaux at noahax@uga.edu or via mail to Dr. Anandam P. Kavoori, Associate Professor, Dept of Telecommunications, Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602.
