Crimethinc
Women's book project
We are working on a new Crimethinc book by women, about women, and for everybody.
This is not a book about gender, although gender will be addressed: this is a big shaggy compendium of inspiring, useful, thought-provoking writing and art about all the things that we as radical anarchist women are interested in.
Like what?
Community building, trainhopping, anti-racism, love, how to construct a log cabin, how to alter a billboard, how to start a collective, aging, DIY mental health, badass women throughout history, patriarchy, childbirth, pornography, sewing, capitalism; basically anything you've ever wished you could find in a book like this. And that's exactly where you come in: we won't know what belongs in the book until you send it to us. We are looking for writing and art-your own, your grandmother's, your favorite artist's and author's, scraps of letters pulled out of your neighbor's trash-for us to begin with. On the weekend of January 10, 2003 a group of us will lay everything we've got out on a long table and begin to make editorial decisions. Once that's done we may solicit more contributions based on what we do or don't have, but the contents of the book will largely be shaped by the things you send in. Don't wait until the last minute! Start right now sending us all the things you've been waiting to see in somebody else's book, and ask all the other women in your life to do the same.
Wait, before I get involved I've got a few questions. Why is this a "women's book"? Doesn't that just perpetuate the idea that gender is a fixed identity? How do you define "woman" anyway?
First of all, this is not a "women's book" in the sense that it is about being a woman. This is a book that happens to be by women, about all the things that fascinate and inspire us. After all, plenty of books are written by men without being "men's books"; this will be the same. Look on it as an experiment in what happens when you filter all the things you care about through the collective experience of being a woman. To us "woman" is a self-identified term-transgendered people are very welcome to be part of the project.
You keep talking about "we". Who are you?
The idea for the book originated with three women who met in Olympia, Washington last summer- Asi, Jen and Amber. They approached three other women who live in Greensboro, NC-Stef, Kate and Liz. Because the three women in Olympia were all in transit it made sense for Greensboro to become the central organizing spot for the book. The six of us in the core collective are all in our late teens or early 20s-with the exception of Liz, who is in her early 50s; we are all white, all American-with the exception of Asi, who is from Sweden; we are all physically able, have had a variety of sexual experiences, share a radical anarchist perspective. We recognize that all of those qualities and experiences will also serve as filters for the book, so we are particularly eager to hear from voices that are different from our own. Our email addresses are included below.
Why is this a Crimethinc book?
All of us have been involved in Crimethinc projects in the past; that's one of the things that brought us together. More than that, however, we believe that Crimethinc has brought some very important ideas into the public discussion and has done a very good job of helping people connect with their own feelings and desires. Days of War, Nights of Love has motivated many people to take a look at their lives and make changes; the question, once those changes begin to take hold is "What happens next"? Evasion provided one possible answer. Our book will provide others.
On more practical terms, Crimethinc is widely known and has a good strong distribution system, both of which will help us get our book out there. Although this book will not be "published" by Crimethinc-Crimethinc is not a publisher-we will certainly get advice from the people who have been involved in the production and distribution of other Crimethinc projects.
Financially, the book will be self-sustaining; if it makes a profit that money will be used by the women's book collective to fund other projects.
So?
So, get busy! Start sending things in-COPIES, NOT ORIGINALS!-by January 10!

Guidelines

The Independent Project Grants Program (IPG) provides financial assistance to artists and curators for the public presentation of their work in non-commercial, non-institutional, and/or artist-run galleries outside Artists Space. The program offers grants to individuals, groups of artists, and curatorial proposals. The program is designed to assist visual arts, film and video, and performance projects in non-traditional exhibiting or viewing spaces.

Grants of up to $500 are available to emerging artists and curators to help organize and produce self-initiated exhibitions, performances, site-specific works, Internet projects, screenings of films and videos, as well as other art events and artists’ projects open to the public in non-commercial, non-institutional, and/or artist-run venues. These grants offer modest support for specific projects organized by independent artists, artists’ groups, and emerging curators who are acting on their own behalf and without the resources of institutional sponsorship. Grants for independent exhibitions assist in meeting the costs of press releases, announcements, postage, and installation costs. Grants are also available to help meet the expenses incurred by an artist participating in independent group exhibitions (which meet the above criteria), and can be used for such costs as framing, shipping, equipment rental, film or video editing, insurance, and technical assistance. Visual artists needing assistance for production of specific exhibition projects in computer arts and new media are also eligible.

Grants are NOT available for spoken word, music, dance and theater projects, for panel discussions, or publications. Grants are also not available for open studio held by an individual artist (open studios held by groups of artists will be considered).

Eligibility

Applicants must be artists who are unaffiliated with a commercial gallery, or emerging curators. The aim of the grant is to assist individuals at the start of their professional career.
Applicants submitting curatorial proposals will be evaluated on the professional nature of the project and the overall promotion of emerging artists.
Applicants must live/work in the five boroughs of New York City with exhibitions/projects taking place within the five boroughs.
Applicants must have dates set for their exhibition or event. Applications with unconfirmed dates will be rejected.

SOCRATES SCULPTURE PARK PROPOSALS DUE JANUARY 27, 2003.

For over fifteen years, Socrates Sculpture Park has been committed to giving artists a chance to work outside the confines of a traditional studio environment in a community that is supportive and encouraging, and to follow new directions in their work, realize ambitious projects, and exhibit in an open, professional forum. Socrates Sculpture Park is the only site in the New York Metropolitan area specifically dedicated to providing artists with opportunities to create and exhibit large-scale sculpture and multi-media projects in an outdoor environment that invites interaction between artists, artworks and the public. Socrates Sculpture Park is a laboratory where experimentation and innovation expand, reinvent and redefine the tradition of art in public spaces.



Socrates Sculpture Park was an abandoned riverside landfill and illegal dumpsite until 1986 when a coalition of artists and community members, under the leadership of artist Mark di Suvero, transformed it into an open studio and exhibition space for artists and a neighborhood park for local residents. Once a rubble-strewn lot, it now flourishes as an ever-evolving natural landscape. The Park’s existence is based on the belief that reclamation, revitalization and creative expression are essential to the survival, humanity and improvement of our urban environment



Located in an industrial neighborhood in Long Island City, Socrates is a waterfront park that overlooks the Manhattan skyline; the site is an affecting and inspiring place for artists to work and a spectacular setting for the presentation of public art. To date, Socrates has a hosted over 350 artists and currently attracts more than 35,000 visitors annually
