CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Triangle Artists Group (TAG)
(Washington DC)
Call for Entries: "Propaganda of War"
Deadline: August 31, 2003
Exhibition Dates: October 2003
Exhibition Location: Warehouse Theater/Gallery 7, Washington, DC
Entry Fee: $20/3 slides or digital images (includes membership in Triangle Artists Group, can be waived for financial hardship reasons*)
Address: Submissions, c/o Jeff Zimmer, 1725 17th Street, NW, #400, Washington, DC 20009 (include SASE)
Info: www.tagdc.org, info@tagdc.org, 202.319.8668.
"Every day we are bombarded with one persuasive communication after another. These appeals persuade not through the give-and-take of argument and debate, but through the manipulation of symbols and of our most basic human emotions. For better or worse, ours is an age of propaganda." (Pratkanis and Aronson, 1991)
“Propaganda of War” is a themed exhibition which will explore the ideas of “propaganda” as it relates to war.
In the buildup to the war against Iraq, we were confronted with a barrage of information designed to build, sway, or shore up our support for or opposition to this daunting venture. Striking in its absence from the public arena was actual debate about the proposed war. In its place, we had propaganda: snippets, soundbites, and snapshots of emotional sway lobbed at the public with greater frequency than the promised rain of bombs on Iraq.
What is this thing, propaganda, which has the power to make, or stop, war? Why is it used? What is it used in place of? What are the effects? Is art propaganda? Can propaganda rise to the level of art?
Artists working in diverse media will come together for this group exhibition to explore this concept. Artists using sound, installation and traditional and non-traditional media attempt to explore the effects of propaganda and challenge the viewer to confront the issues raised by its preponderance in regards to war.
*Triangle Artists Group (TAG) is a collection of over 100 queer artists in the Washington, DC, area. Submissions for "Propaganda of War' are accepted regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression.
Application Date: 8/31/2003

Placing Race and Localising Whiteness
CONFERENCE DATES: 1st-3rd October
Adelaide
Organised by the Research Aggregation for Cross-Cultural Studies, Flinders University, The symposium will provide an opportunity for scholars from a range of disciplines in Social Sciences and Humanities pursuing critical race research in the Australian, Asian and Pacific context to engage with each other's work and explore new meanings of race and whiteness. The symposium will host the inaugural meeting of the Australian Race and Whiteness Studies Association.
The symposium will be a forum for both theoretically based and empirical studies on race and whiteness. Suggestions for panels are sought.
Themes:
Where does whiteness fit into social constructionist theories of race?
How are race and whiteness constructed and challenged in localised contexts?
How do Asian and Pacific societies conceptualise race and whiteness?
How is it possible to move beyond race?
What implications does the 'new abolitionism' discourse have for societies like Australia?
How are specific environments of work and life structured by race and whiteness?
How are racialised identities and discourses of race shaped by migration?
Are settler-colony societies different from others in the way they deal with issues of race?
How are race and whiteness shaping the institutions of civil society and government?
Are people in urban environments racialised differently from those in rural areas?
How is whiteness globalising and how is this practiced in the local contexts?
How are whiteness and race expressed through claims for national identity?

Vis, Croatia
Datum dogodka: 07. - 12.08.2003
320x240 video lab.camp.event
small, international, lab.camp.event of performers, programmers, developers, theoreticians and users in visual environment of palm trees and the sea off course. than see what happens next...
LOCATION: island of Vis (the most remote point of civilisation in the Croatian sea), former Yugoslav army complex (about 5000 square meters) with several small amphitheatres, underground tunnels and a lot of palm trees to make you feel like you are in Cuba.
THE MAIN GOAL: to VJ, most definitely, but also to "get the picture" - literally, where the video forms are heading and how are they merging in new art forms.
WAY TO REACH THE GOAL: set up small, international, lab.camp.event of performers, programmers, developers, theoreticians and users in visual environment of palm trees and the sea offcourse. than see what happens next...
the island itself will probably provoke some easy going fantasies, and sitting in the shades of the palm trees is definitely the best way to come up with new answers to old questions:
where theory meets practise and vice versa...
is there criticism in VJ-ing or everything goes...
what's the level of unification in the content due to software possibilities...
programming as a vj tool...
pixels as a socio-political context...
content or skill...
who is the author and where is the ship...
all that through presentations, lectures, discussions and hopefully active knowledge exchange.
music will be colourful, electronic, inspirative as always, some of it live, some prerecorded.
a lot of music, video and software will be free (as in free speech).
bring your beloved gadget or person to participate, perform and show "what's it all about", we already have 8 projectors, several video mixers, open air party locations, and a lot of cables lined up... see you there?!?
