ONGOING SUBMISSIONS TO CLOCKTOWER/P.S.1 PROJECTS, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE P.S.1 NATIONAL STUDIO PROGRAM.
The P.S.1 National Studio Program has been changed. It is now called The Clocktower/P.S.1 Projects. Instead of offering year-long residencies to American artists, P.S.1 invites applications for projects that can be realized within three months or less. In addition, P.S.1 and guest curators are encouraged to propose projects for consideration. Although artists are welcomed to submit proposals at any time, P.S.1 curators will review applications three times a year.

Artists are invited to submit proposals for projects which can be created within three months or less. P.S.1Ős curatorial team will select projects based on quality of work, the probability of its execution, its relevance to other P.S.1 programming, and other curatorial considerations. Applications will be accepted throughout the year.
Security restrictions prohibit public access to the Clocktower. Artists are reminded that the venue will be private rather than public, and that artists will need to observe building hours and restrictions. Each artist is responsible for supplying materials and equipment. This program offers no printing, photography or welding facilities. Under no circumstances can the workspace serve as living quarters.
Each applicant must be a working artist (high school, college or graduate students will not be considered), and a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States. Depending on country of origin, foreign artists may apply to P.S.1Ős International Studio Program.

This appears to be more of an exhibition than a teaching position
Hull, United Kingdom
Independent Art School
Call for Lecturers
IAS wishes to invite artists to put themselves forward for appointments within the School as an extension of their art practice.
Inspired by the numerous absurdly gimmicky titled jobs and university courses that have been cropping up over the past few years, the Independent Art School seeks to comment on/follow in this trend.
Interested Artists should suggest a professional title that is reflective of our times while also seriously backed up by their own area/theme of art practice. As such Philip Barnes makes work, writes and runs workshops around the theme of Urban Tourism and is working towards a PhD that will be accredited by the IAS.
Applicants need have no formal art education or teaching experience, but must be able to present examples of current artistic or written activity and of how their current practice lends itself to a lectureship within the IAS.
The selection process will take into account the following:
- Quality of the interventional aspects of the chosen role
- Level of commitment and self-initiative within own art practice
The Independent Art School was set up in 1999. A number of events have taken place in Hull, London and Newcastle. Regular artists seminars are currently held at the RED gallery in Hull. The IAS creates informal meeting spaces for artists. It has no budget and exists from the belief that artists need to gain back control over art education and their own development. Past events have been supported by Hull Time Based Arts and Northern Arts.
The Lectureship is unpaid and it is up to each candidate how active a role they take within the IAS. The IAS will present information about each lecturer on its online journal and initiate events at which lecturers will be welcome to take part. In turn the lecturers can influence the development of the IAS and present their own work and initiatives within its context.
This call for lecturers is ongoing. Candidates should make preliminary contact with the School by contacting Pippa Koszerek to enter into discussion on how they would like to collaborate with the IAS. This is a fantastic opportunity for artists to add a magnificent title to their curriculum vitae.
For more information about the Independent Art School please visit our online journal.
It should be understood, that while the IAS comments on, creates interventions or parodies certain norms, its actions are undertaken with serious intent.
Rok prijave: Ongoing.

OPEN CULTURES: FREE FLOWS OF INFORMATION AND THE POLITICS OF THE COMMONS
Resources accessible to all! Conference. Call for Resources. Travel grants available!
http://opencultures.t0.or.at
** Conference Announcement
** Call For Resources
** Travel Grants Available
==========================================
** CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
==========================================
Today's infosphere allows a quick and easy exchange of digitized information.
The tools of creation and the means of distribution are becoming more affordable by the month, thus continuously expanding the range of creators and users. Yet, not everyone is happy with this. A coalition of large media conglomerates calls for Draconian measures to stop this free flow of information. New restrictive technologies and new oppressive laws are being developed right now, in an attempt to create scarcity out of the digital abundance. The current security fears are manipulated to equate openness with danger in a cynical effort to protect the assets of large industries against the forces of innovation.
Against this backdrop, a counter movement is taking shape that is guided by the idea of 'the commons': resources accessible to all.
Rather than expanding the means of control to catch up with the ease of data processing, this movement takes the free availability of information as its starting point. It recognizes that a free society needs free flows of information, that the attempt to control information quickly leads to controlling people. Creativity - commercial, scientific and artistic - requires the ability to easily and freely built upon what others have created.
The Open Cultures conference will survey the new territory of the commons by bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners from different corners of this vast field. We will talk about access to scientific information, free software, patents and other forms of knowledge monopolies, wireless community networks, open distribution channels, about the economics and the aesthetics of the commons.
We want to strengthen the understanding of the shared visions and goals, learn from the different experiences and approaches and send a signal that, yes, openness is possible, indeed, it's the only direction to move forward.
The conference will focus on the following topics:
* Information Commons
Open Access Journals and other institutional initiatives to build a infrastructure for free access to information
* Media of the Commons
Grassroots publishing, peer-to-peer, free distribution, freenet
* Wireless Community Networks
Rather than buying bandwidth from global telecom giants rebuilding information flows locally, from the ground up. One wireless cell at a time.
* Politics Of the Commons
International treaties and international governing bodies. What are the possibilities of using them to advance openness and access?
* Culture of the Commons
What culture and art is emerging in the commons?
The conference will include workshops of streaming technologies and on wireless networks as well as exhibition of media installations who explore the ideas of openess and free access.
Speakers and Guest include:
Shu Lea Cheang (Artist, Kingdom of Piracy), Vera Franz and Darius Cuplinskas (Open Society Institute, Budapest, osi.hu), Adam Hyde (Artist, Frequency Clock), Jaromil (Developer, Dyne:bolic), Jamie Love (CPTech), Armin Medosch (Artist), Eben Moglen (Professor of Law, Columbia University NYC, EFF Pioneer 2003), Eric Moeller (Journalist, infoanarchy.org), Andy Mueller-Maguhn (Chaos Computer Club, ccc.de, ICANN), Bruce Sterling (Novelist), Alan Toner (NY University, Media activist, freedistro.org)
==========================================
** CALL FOR RESOURCES
==========================================
As we all know, a conference as a live event has a limited reach: a few dozen people at worst, a few hundred at best. Nevertheless, its value can be much greater. The event character of a conference serves to focus attention, to create a defined context in which people, ideas and projects meet, learning takes place and new ideas can grow. Made accessible and archived on line, this focus can become an important reference point for the larger discussion way beyond the actual event.
We would like to invite you to expose your ideas/projects to this focus on Open Cultures without the burden of having to travel to Vienna. How? By submitting a resource to the "Open Cultures Repository".
A resource can be a text, a media file, a project, or a call for participation. We are in the process of assembling critical resources for the theory/practice of free information flows. We invite you to contribute to this collection of resources, by submitting one, or more, resource(s) either as original media files, or as links to resources already out-there but hard to find. The resource that you want the community to know about can be your's or someone else's.
Please browse the resources that are already online and contribute to expanding the scope and value of this open collection.
Should you have any questions / comments to this project, please do not hesitate to contact us.
==========================================
** TRAVEL GRANTS AVAILABLE
==========================================
Thanks to a generous contribution from the Open Society Institute (OSI), a small number of stipends are available to cover participants' travel costs. Participants eligible for these stipends should be from countries outside the US and EU.
If you wish to apply for a stipend, please send an email indicating your interest in the conference and travel expenses.
Deadline for applying is April 30, 2003. The stipends will be awarded in consultation with the OSI and recipients will be notified by May 15.

CAMN- Caucasus Arts Managers Network
International Cultural Fair - Caucasus 2003
ICF is to be attended not only by artists, but also by general public, which is also quite important to the visual art sector of the fair. Each participant artist, gallery or organization will exhibit its work on the stand at big Concert Hall in Tbilisi.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 is a creation of the CAMN- Caucasus Arts Managers Network, which itself bridges European, Middle Asian, Caucasian, Baltic, Nordic, Armenian, Azirian, Russian etc. artistic brains in Caucasus (Georgia, Tbilisi) for the future cooperation, exchanges and new opportunities. At the 2002 annual meeting of CAMN in Tbilisi, it was decided to conduct the first International Culture Fair in the region within the Caucasian showcase in order to promote and export the local and to introduce and import the international art. Thus rebuilding the ancient Caucasian marketplace and attracting the economic word’s attention to the region. The fair will cover the entire sector of arts, while leaving the “international scope” and “artistic diversity” as the watchwords of its concept.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 is the first showcase of its kind in Caucasus, which also aims to spread the information about the local artistry over the international arena. The Soviet Union mixed distinguishes of the united multi nations into one – the Soviet, thus it was too difficult to introduce and promote each.
For the first time after the collapse of the SU the fair will represent extremely diverse Caucasian artistry – multi-religious and multi-traditional spectacle. It also repeats an ancient Caucasian tradition to serve as the crossroad of the Euro-Asian culture, while opening its doors to other word’s regions with other cultural traditions, aiming to introduce a great success of sales and participation.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 is to be attended not only by artists, but also by general public, which is also quite important to the visual art sector of the fair. Each participant artist, gallery or organization will exhibit its work on the stand at big Concert Hall in Tbilisi, Georgia, where ICF – Caucasus 2003 will be conducted. The venue is situated in one of the oldest and beautiful parts of the city - in Vera District, which is on its road to Rustaveli Avenue, in a mile distance from Rustaveli State Academic Theater, passing the Cinema House, Ministry of Culture and the Science Academy of Georgia.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 - apart from the visual artistry the performing sector of the fair offers attendance on the live shows and performances in the theater venues across the city, arranging the seats and meetings with appropriate authorities according to the interest of the buyer. For the corresponding arrangements the interested party should contact the ICF office at the fair. Schedule of the performances will be handed beforehand.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 is an important event for participant party guarantying not only the sale of the exhibited artistry, but also spreading the information about the artist or company. It also gives an opportunity to promote the art and to share experiences with artists from different countries and cultures. The fair is designed to represent following segments of arts:
1 Performing art;
2 Visual Art;
3 Craft;
4 Technical and informational facilities for culture and art;
5 Cinema and TV;
6 Show Business.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 – while its preparation period the organizers will conduct 5 training programs guided by the international experts, for qualifying the cultural institutions from Caucasus in more understanding of the market strategy, marketing, selling, contracting and exposing. There will also be held two chief projects in the frames of the fair: Conference on Art and Business and the CAMN meeting 2003.Exhibitors, producers, artists, theatre company managers, visitors and media from all over the world are all invited to participate. Early efforts from the whole sector are already done to build the most successful Arts Fair in the history of Caucasus, thus your interest will greatly contribute into execution of the XXI Century great initiation.
ICF- Caucasus 2003 promises to turn into the celebration of colours, tempers and traditions - into the polyphony of cultures.
Services provided by the ICF – Caucasus 2003 organizers:
- Space
- Basic Lighting
- Cleaning
- Attendance and surveillance
- Stand for making contacts
- Lunch
- Catalogue
- Hall plan
- List of Participants
- Program of the Fair

Conditions of participation
Participation is fundamentally open to every culture institution or artist. Participation with a second stand is possible, while works may also be presented jointly by several galleries but should be agreed with the ICF organizers in advance to provide the benefiting service.
Stand: The ICF –Caucasus 2003 will provide a three-wall modular stand of 31, 50 m 2 as the exposition space for free.
The stand must be correctly equipped, while being correctly furnished by the ICF - Caucasus 2003 office (a table, two chairs, hooks & hangings and a spotlight). Stand does include a plug, but incase of need extensions could be hired in the special ICF-Bureau at the fair, as well as TV-Video set and additional spotlights (see the appendix 1). The contact person himself attends the stand and shows the represented work to visitor.
At the forecourt of the fair there will be the designers-group, which after the certain payment will insure that the exhibition stand will be prepared according to the offered material for exhibition, according to the participant’s desire, considering modern technologies and standards.
