Interacting with social and political processes, these works are aimed at the active or passive protagonists of such processes, i.e. all those people who, directly or indirectly, regularly or occasionally, live together in a specific physical, communicative, social and symbolic space, in this case, the City of Madrid. After the last two editions great success, the new project competition of artistic installations for Madrid Abierto 2006 is now underway.
PROJECT COMPETITION
1. The aim of this call is to select a minimum of ten projects for temporary or short-term artistic projects to take part in Madrid Abierto along with other guest projects.
2. The projects will take place coinciding with ARCO in February 2006 in Madrid, along the axis of Madrid's Paseo de la Castellana and Paseo del Prado boulevards'.

Open Call For Videos / Time based media for screening event:
Currency Exchange, a Chicago-based arts initiative, presents a screening event that will be part of a larger gallery exhibition during May and June, entitled Macerate. The conceptual framework of the show deals with adolescence:
Do we actually revert to adolescent behaviors or are these insistent questions always already present? Do we ever really get over the confusion and insecurity? Do we feel somehow comforted by the awkwardness we want to believe we have surpassed?
What is it that drives us to analyze and reinterpret these experiences throughout our lives?
We invite submissions of work that is no longer than 15 minutes, that deals with these questions or related issues. Please send work in one of the following formats: multiregional DVD, VHS, NTSC mini-DV, audio CD and include a SASE if you want your work returned to you.
The deadline for submissions is MAY 1, 2005!

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Net:Reality
A UK national touring exhibition of New Media artworks which
simultaneously exist within networked and physical space.
Background:
20-21 is a contemporary visual arts centre, situated in Scunthorpe,
North Lincolnshire. The centre comprises a former church built in the
1890s which has been extended on its south side to provide a café,
retail area, education room and IT suite. The nave and chancel of the
former church are now the main gallery. The centre opened in May 2001
and since this time, 20-21 has developed a reputation for producing high
quality touring exhibitions.
Q Arts is a leading visual and digital arts development organisation
based in Derby, with a core aim to create an innovative, challenging and
socially engaged programme. Q Arts exhibits contemporary art, media,
digital and lens-based work, seeking to promote and develop emerging
fields of practice. The organisation also engages with new and existing
audiences through a core integrated education, interpretation and
commissioning programme.
In January of this year, these organisations secured funding from Arts
Council England to develop a touring exhibition encompassing Internet
and New Media work in conjunction with artist, Michael Takeo Magruder.
Concept:
Indicative of the advance of ubiquitous computing, technology is
currently undergoing an evolutionary shift away from a personal
experience towards an omnipresent framework, where design and form are
increasingly characterised by device convergence and seamless
integration into mainstream surroundings and situations.
Parallel to this development, there is an expanding group of New Media
practitioners who are concerned with blending elements from networked
and physical worlds, in order to reflect upon the perceived Œvoid‚
between the relational spaces of the data-driven Internet and the
organic, physical presence and interaction of the viewer. Through the
creation of mixed reality constructions, such artists are addressing the
nature of the amorphous connections that bridge these disparate entities
rather than their points of origin.
It is the examination of the Œdot‚ within net.art.
[excerpt from working text, Jessica Loseby and Michael Takeo Magruder,
2003]
Exhibition:
Net:Reality will exist in two distinct and interconnected strands; an
exhibition of New Media artworks for the physical gallery space and a
live online exhibition of Internet art. The physical and online formats
of the work within the exhibition will be intrinsically linked and will
reference one another in a variety of ways. There be a catalogue and CD
Rom to accompany the physical touring exhibition and documentation of
the Internet-based exhibition of the work will remain online for a
minimum of three years.
Rather than having a Œtheme‚ for the works, the media itself will unite
the pieces within the exhibition. At present five participants have been
selected; Glorious Ninth [Kate Southworth and Patrick Simons], Neil
Jenkins, Jessica Loseby, Michael Takeo Magruder and Michael Szpakowski.
The exhibition will commence at 20-21 on Saturday 23 July 2005 and will
run until Saturday 29 October 2005. It will then travel to Q-Arts
[Derby], Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery and other venues in the UK.
Eligibility:
We are currently seeking a further two artists/artist groups to
participate in this exhibition. Applicants must reside in the UK and
demonstrate a high standard of practice in both Internet and physical
space settings. Submissions from Œemerging‚ practitioners are
encouraged.
Call for Artwork Proposals:
As the media itself is the unifying theme for the exhibition, proposed
works may address any conceptual or aesthetic concerns. The artwork must
be accessible both physically in a gallery environment and remotely via
the Internet. These components of the artwork must be intrinsically
linked, in which one element cannot exist without the other.
The physical form of the proposed artwork must be:
? modular/adaptable to generic gallery space.
? constructed with professional, high quality equipment and materials.
? robust and sustainable for the duration of the tour (min. 1 year ˆ
max. 2 years).
? compliant with all UK health and safety requirements.
? able to be set-up/maintained by gallery staff without the artist being
present.
? able to function on a shared, standard broadband connection (e.g. no
static IP addresses and bandwidth must be shared with other artworks).
? equipped with both G band wireless and 10/100 wired network facilities
which can be used to connect to a host router/server for Internet
access.
The Internet form for the artworks must:
? be cross platform (Windows 98/2000/XP and Mac 0S9/X).
? be cross browser (IE, Firefox, etc.).
? utilise free, easily installed plug-ins which are cross
platform/browser.
Commissioning Fee:
The budget for each commission is £2,000, and must include:
? artist fee
? all materials and equipment for the artwork (including any consumable
items)
? the delivery and set-up of the artwork at 20-21
? resolving major breakdowns or technical problems with the artwork
during the exhibition tour
Submissions:
All applications must include:
? Artwork Proposal
? CV/Bio/Artist Statement
? Supporting Visual/Sonic Materials
Proposals must be submitted via email to Michael Takeo Magruder
(m@takeo.org or mtakeomagruder@yahoo.com). Please send all writing as
Word or plain/rich text attachments and supporting visual/sonic material
as low-bandwidth attachments or URL links. For submission materials
which cannot be sent electronically, please request posting instructions
via email.

this date will not be considered.

We want artists to create innovative front end interfaces to connect to the rest of the site. No technology is excluded and all ideas will be considered. Things that might be suitable as suggestions could be a text searcher to link to the Soundtoys journal and bring up texts about Soundtoys, a 3D space to connect to the online artist’s works or you could make a selection of works you like and make an interface to control and access them. Technologies that you could use can be anything that will work on the web such as flash, shockwave, processing, java, html, etc. These interfaces can be as experimental and audio visual as you want. To apply, please send in a clear proposal that includes how you would make it, your technical expertise, and a budget. Some sketches, ideas, and links to other works you have made would also be helpful. We have a budget of £6000 about (12000 dollars) to make 4 - 6 commissions. Deadline 20 April.
