COMMISSIONED WORKS
Proposals for new, original, interdisciplinary works will be accepted for a “Commissioned” category. Works must be created by a team consisting of two or more members, and must combine two or more areas of creative expression and contain a major technology component. Proposals will be accepted for performances, concerts, showings or installations; completed works will be presented during the symposium. Proposals must include detailed technical and production requirements, and a proposed budget. Limit of one proposal per team. The piece must not have been previously published, performed or exhibited. Awards will be granted at the discretion of the Center. Submissions not accepted for the commissioned category will also be reviewed for the general submissions category. Accepted commissions will be awarded a stipend of $3000 and a residency at Connecticut College between March 27 and April 1 that includes:
- performance or installation of the accepted work
- workshops with students
- attendance at the symposium
- presentation at the symposium
PAPERS
A two-page extended abstract or complete paper, including technical requirements, must be submitted by email or mail. Upon acceptance, revised papers must be submitted electronically by January 31, 2006 as a PDF. Complete technical requirements for presentation must be included. Papers will be published by the Center in the symposium proceedings. All rights will remain with the author. Papers will be selected for twenty-minute presentations as part of the daily schedule of speakers. Papers may be grouped by the Center in a panel discussion format.
PANEL DISCUSSIONS
Proposals for panel discussions are encouraged. Proposals should include names of prospective panelists and topic, which should address the general areas of the symposium. Papers may be grouped by the Center in a panel discussion format.
CREATIVE WORKS
In addition to academic and theoretical papers, submissions of technology-based or technology-oriented creative works are encouraged. Maximum one proposal per person or team, and we reserve the right not to review multiple pieces in a single submission. All submissions must be accompanied by a one-page description/abstract for presentation at the symposium about the work, a list of complete technical needs, biography and contact information. See specific categories for additional requirements. All presenters and artists are encouraged to speak about their work at the symposium. Symposium registration will be required for all symposium attendees.

Music submissions (composition, performance, theory, interactivity, signal processing and music understanding) are encouraged. Works for instruments, digital media, CD or interactive compositions are also being solicited for “tape only” concerts or live performance. Works should not exceed 15 minutes in length and should be submitted with accompanying score, where appropriate. Music must be submitted on CD for review, with accompanying scores as required.

Works that display worthy reflections on the nexus of art, society and technology, even if created by primarily 'conventional' means, are encouraged. Submissions in the category of 'expanded cinema' and projection performance will be accepted, but resources are limited and artists presenting such work should expect to bring all or much of their own essential gear. Submissions must include a one-page description/abstract of the work and VHS, DV or DVCAM tape, DVD (tape preferred). For works involving anything other than standard video or 16mm projection, a complete description of technical and space needs is required.

DANCE AND THEATER
Computer-generated or computer-aided dance compositions and theater works are being solicited for live demonstrations or for videotaped presentations. Specially produced dance or theater videos are of particular interest as opposed to concert tapes or other archival uses of video. Also of interest are proposals for workshops, demonstrations of software for dance or theater notation, choreographic analysis, interactive studies and/or multi-media studies of performance in dance and theater. Performances may be accepted, but will be limited by technical needs and financial considerations.

The creative lab opportunity offers space, technical support and facilities, administrative and development advice and support. The amount of time offered would be between 3 – 7 weeks within April 06 - March 07.
We would like to offer four Labs to Scottish based artists and two labs for artists outside Scotland.

- Applications are NOT required from artists in full time education
General criteria:
- Time spent must be on development of the artist's own, original work
- Creative Lab time is for research rather than rehearsal time only
- We are primarily looking for artists who are unable to fit easily into theatre, poetry, dance as traditional categories. The focus is on the contemporary artist who specialises in the realisation of ideas, rather than pursuing a specialism

- Equal Opportunities will be employed in the selection of these labs in line with CCA’s policies
To submit a proposal:
We would like a brief (maximum 2 sides) description of the work you would like to investigate, including the conceptual basis, content, art forms used, and how much time you would need.

Deadline: November 15, 2005; Source: Cacs mailing list

Proposals should include the following:
- Artist's statement

Disconnected
January 11 - February 18, 2006
Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, Kingston, ON
Disconnected is a group art exhibition that proposes a reconsidering of popular, institutional and market-driven definitions of art world success. In the attempt to describe a broader category of achievement in art, curators Lindsay Fisher and Vincent Perez gather for participation individuals to investigate:
- alienation from dominant trends within the contemporary art scene
- new ways of developing and defining an art career
- institutional approaches to teaching and learning creative processes and artistic refinement
- the student and emerging artist’s relationship with the daunting figure of the “established artist”
- popular myths of the artist as starving artist, art star and bohemian
- artists working outside of the art circuit, removed from the social acts of exhibiting, self-promotion and networking
- the divide between commercial and critical art, and the influence of financial need on the act of artmaking
If interested, please send a letter introducing yourself and describing your idea, how it relates to the issues presented above and why you wish to participate in Disconnected.

8. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: "rock.paper.sistahz 5"
Deadline: November 28, 2005; Source: b current
b current invites submissions/proposals for presenting art and performance material in our annual spring festival
rock.paper.sistahz 5!
April 2006
rock.paper.sistahz is an innovating festival which concentrates mainly on presenting performance work by black women artists. Over the past four years the festival has been filling a huge gap in Toronto, in providing a fast growing and valued venue for experimental work from black theatre creators. With each year, the festival has been 'pushing the envelope' by developing and presenting fresh material, performance styles, and ideas seldom seen in professional contemporary spaces; while also focusing on themes, forms, and styles which have grown out of the black diasporic culture. Our goal, as always, to:
1. create a gathering in the season of new growth for just that... new growth
2. promote the voices of emerging and established artists alike
3. expand the opportunities for black women artists to have their work nurtured from beginnings, thru incubation, and come to fruition over time
4. create a public space for galvanizing and stimulating interaction among black women artists
5. deepen the company's vision of creating spaces where the life-affirming effects of the collision of art and culture and everyday life can have positive impact on the general community
Artists in all and any discipline, are encouraged to submit proposals; as this year's festival will include works beyond the theatre stage
b current will provide development/production or presentation resources as fully as can be afforded to works selected for inclusion in rock.paper.sistahz 5. Resources include presentation
- venues for all selected work - in all disciplines;
- technical & creative support - includes workshop time and creative team for plays
- and promotion through the festival outlets
As creators, you come with the words and ideas, and a readiness to engage new and familiar audiences.
about the festival...
The rock.paper.sistahz festival captures the essence of b current's work: in that it offers an intimate presentation of new and original works, which invites our audiences to take a chance and plunge into a creatively divergent mix of serious fun! And with four successful years of pleasing artists and audiences, the festival is fast becoming a magnet for community gatherings of folks appreciative of the variety in programming, production values, content, styles, and bravado.
The rock.paper.sistahz festival has attracted scripts & ideas -- from across the country and the United States; with a wide cross-section of actors, designers, directors, musicians, visual artists, and apprentices enthusiastic about participating in this thoughtfully hand-picked and fully curated teaming of quality, diversity, and raw energy; unapologetically pushing past expected boundaries.
In the past four years the rock.paper.sistahz festival played to enthusiastic audiences out of the Theatre Passe Muraille backspace venue; presenting 4 world premiere productions (Carol Anderson's After All, yagayah by naila belvett and d'bi young, stuck, and 3 parts harmony) over 25 workshop productions and play readings, and numerous performances from multi-disciplined artists. The lineup of festival revelers/artists have included: Mercedes Baines, David Collins, Raven Dauda, Rebecca Fisseha, Lili Francks, Charmaine Headley, Anne-marie Hood, Sharron Mcleod, Chimwemwe Miller, Weyni Mengesha, Andrew Moodie, Alejandra Nunez, Rhoma Spencer, Nicole Stamp, Colin Taylor, Natalie Wood, d'bi young, Suleikha Ali Yusuf...
This 5th year will see us spreading wings in April 2006, in several venues; from theatre stages, to cinema house, to gallery space and more... vibeing on the theme: full hands.
about the company

(version français suivre)
LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
Artist-in-Residence Programme
August 2006 to June 2007
Deadline : December 21, 2005
LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is an artist-run centre with a mandate to promote installation and site-specific practices. Our residency programme is an opportunity offered to the artist to place into question the nature of artistic practice itself with regards to both its conception and public reception. LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is particularly interested in works which, like works-in-progress, consider time as a medium. During their residency, the selected artists are invited to create a unique, ephemeral work, in the context of an actual live laboratory.
At LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE a residency lasts six weeks. During the 14 first days, the gallery is used exclusively as a studio space for the artist. The doors open to the public on the third week, allowing the visitors to come and meet the artist at work. Without discouraging projects that aim at attaining a final result (with a final piece), la chambre blanche is particularly sensible to the process of exploration and experimentation. Submitted projects must integrate installation and in situ practices.
LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE offers:
- an in situ residency of six weeks
- lodging at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
- $ 1750 (CAN) artist fees
- technical assistance

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
Programme d'artiste en résidence
août 2006 à juin 2007
Appel de propositions
Date limite : 21 décembre 2005
LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE est un centre d'artistes voué à l'expérimentation des pratiques installatives et in situ en arts visuels. Son programme de résidence invite les artistes à remettre en question la nature même du travail artistique, son émergence comme sa réception. LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE s'intéresse tout spécialement aux oeuvres qui, à la manière des work in progress, utilisent le temps comme médium. Pendant sa résidence, l'artiste sélectionné est amené à développer une oeuvre unique, éphémère, dans le contexte d'un véritable laboratoire in vivo.
À LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, une résidence s'étend sur six semaines. Désormais, durant les 14 premiers jours, la galerie servira exclusivement « d'atelier » à l'artiste. L'aspect diffusion entrera en jeu à la troisième semaine, puisque c'est à ce moment que l'on ouvrira les portes aux visiteurs, leur permettant ainsi d'entrer en contact avec l'artiste au travail. Sans décourager les projets qui visent l'atteinte d'une oeuvre finie, nous accordons une grande attention aux propositions qui mettent l'accent sur l'expérimentation et l'exploration. Les projets soumis doivent obligatoirement intégrer les pratiques installatives et l'approche in situ.
Le centre offre aux artistes
* une résidence in situ de six semaines
* l'hébergement à LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
* des droits de 1750 $CAN
* une aide technique
* la totalité des frais de transport pour les artistes du nord-est de l'Amérique
(la moitié des frais pour les artistes en provenance des autres régions)
* l'accès à un atelier pour le travail du bois et à un laboratoire informatique
* un accès aux équipements et au centre de documentation
La proposition doit comprendre
* une proposition de projet
* un curriculum vitæ à jour
* un court texte décrivant la démarche artistique de l'artiste
* une documentation visuelle du travail de l'artiste (diapositives, CD, DVD, vidéo, etc.)
* une enveloppe de retour pré-affranchie (timbres canadiens ou coupons-réponses internationaux)
Note : les documents fournis doivent être compatibles avec les systèmes Mac et Ntsc.

14. CALL FOR ARCHIVAL MATERIAL: liveartmagazine (UK)
Deadline ongoing; Source: performance_art_network@eGroups.com
liveartmagazine in collaboration with Interface at the University of Ulster announce an important archiving opportunity
An invite to All Students, Artists, Companies and Agencies working in Live Art
For the last 15 years Live Art Listings, Hybrid Magazine and Live Art Magazine have documented, reviewed, listed and championed the work of artist working in Live Art. The extensive archive of these publications is now housed at Interface, the arts research wing of the University of Ulster at Belfast.
To maximise the impact of the archive and its value to both contemporary and future researchers Live Art Magazine and Interface invite all artists working in Live Art to extend the range of the archive with a selection of material that documents their work, shows its evolution and provides contact details.
We imagine that submissions would comprise:
- one cd/dvd, a video and half a dozen photographs;
- a selection of programmes and press releases, and
- something like a company brochure that names and dates your works.
Basically, no more than would fit into an A4 jiffy bag.
If you are a promoter or agent perhaps you could send material which lists the artists you have represented, promoted or marketed.
In this way you will ensure that any contemporary researchers, whether international promoters, other artists or PhD students, will be able to get a sense of your work and contact details that they can then follow up through personal contact with you.
As you will I'm sure agree, in work which is frequently very fragile, transitory and lacking visibility, archiving is an important function that guarantees your work a place in the emergent history of Live Art.
We are asking for this minimal amount of documentation as we feel that most people would be able to find, and afford to send on, a jiffy bag of material. However, if you have the documentation, and the resources to gather and send them, then we would be happy to receive more extensive sets of material. If you have to make a choice then please send us details of the work or project which best reflects your ambitions, aims, principles, aesthetics, politics.
The holdings will be catalogued, conserved and professionally archived with a view to long term protection and access. The Live Art Magazine archive is set to become one of the most important research resources for navigating the obscure paths of Live Art in the UK.
Please send your submissions by registered post to:
Grainne Loughran - Archivist
Live Art Magazine Archive
Interface
School of Art and Design
University of Ulster
York Street
Belfast
BT15 1ED
If all your material is digital and can be sent as attachments then please send to:
G.Loughran@ulster.ac.uk
marking your email LAM ARCHIVE in the subject field.

www.pgratland.ca
We've Got Our Walkman On is an ensemble of friends, friends of friends and passersby, who are all wearing matching walkmans and all singing along to the same mix tape. With headphones on tight, some will sing together, some
will be a few beats behind, or slightly out of tune as they are drowned out by their impassioned neighbor. The audience will not hear the mix tape as they pass, just the cacophany and splendor of uninhibited voices in unison.
Saturday November 5 and Sunday November 6, noon to 1pm.
- John Marriott is a writer and artist located in Paris (Yukon), London (Ontario) and
Berlin (Nova Scotia). His works in video, installation, performance and urban intervention have been seen in publications, exhibitions and screenings internationally. His installations were presented in a solo exhibition at the Power Plant in Toronto (1996). His videos have been screened at Medienkunstpreis at ZKM, the Rotterdam International Festival of Film and Video, and the Lausanne Underground
Festival. His street performance series Art that Says Hello received critical praise and
his performance interventions Incidental Park Zones and You were staged in Vancouver in the Expect Delays series at Artspeak Gallery in 2003.
Sharpening is a metaphoric service to accompany the hyper-criticality inherent in art world events.
Thursday November 4, 6:30 to 7:30
Saturday November 5 and Sunday November 6, 2pm to 6pm.
- Brenda Goldstein graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design. Her
work spans a broad spectrum of themes from the mining of cultural
memory to the exploration of public space. She works in a diverse set of media, including super 8, video projection, installation and performance. She is half of the collaborative performance art duo, The Urban Beautification Brigade and a member of the ARTICIPATION! Collective. Her work has been shown in the Petit Guide De Video at the AGO, the Bike Mobile Project (AKA, Saskatoon), Zed TV, Pleasure Dome, PDX Film Festival (Portland, Oregon), the Images Festival Visible Cities Symposium and the Toronto Free Gallery. Her video, Economies of Scale was screened at the 7th Annual Planet in Focus film festival in October.
Push Pull Strategy is modelled on "push" vs "pull" advertising campaigns that channel consumer demand, and shape individual desire. In this performance ‘Desire’ is dressed in a tiered turquoise wedding cake of a dress. Flightily, she attempts to approach the objects she longs for. However, Desire's attempts are restricted – controlled by handlers who have long candy pink ribbons attached to her arms, neck and waist; Desire’s movements will be in a constant state of negotiation.
Thursday November 4, 6:30 to 7:30 and Friday November 5 at MOCCA at 10pm.

Vito Acconci (In Person)
Early Super 8 Films 1969-1973
Thursday, November 10, 7pm @ Mocca, 952 Queen St. W.
7 pm: Interiors, Buildings, Parks from the Acconci Studio (60 min. projected video loop)
9 pm: Introduction and screening of Early Super 8 Films 1969-1973
A co-presentation with MOCCA
Pleasure Dome and the Museum Of Contemporary Canadian Art are honoured to have Vito Acconci in person to discuss the recently released collection of his early super 8 films (presented as video projection) dating from 1969 to 1973. Following the 7pm screening of Julia Loktev’s Interiors, Buildings, Parks (2004, 60 min.) Vito Acconci (at 9 pm) will introduce and reflect on these early seminal films, documents and performances.
Interiors, Buildings, Parks (presented as a projected video loop) highlights the work of the Acconci Studio, a public art and design partnership formed in 1988. Narrated by Acconci, the video documents the Studio’s architectural interventions, industrial design, imaginative CAD renderings and large-scale public projects. Acconci’s voice-over descriptions give poetic entry into this vast body of work while marking some compelling intersections to his own groundbreaking, transgressive body works. His interest in the interstitial, marginal and liminal is evident throughout his practice. Within Acconci’s analyses, public or “open” geographic spaces and corporeal territories are all contested and politicized areas.
Like the Acconci Studio’s Murinsel, a constructed island amphitheatre and footbridge, the remastered footage of the artist’s 1973 performance Reception Room suggests a preoccupation with public reactions in public spaces. Whether island platform or a gallery, these meeting places serve the confrontation between bodies, objects, and politics, and sometimes provide for revolutionary acts. Attending to Acconci’s fearful voice loop with the image of his body flopping front to back on a gurney-like table, right leg and buttock exposed, the audience too is exposed, as are the gallery structures around them.
Amongst many other things, Acconci’s body in these works serves to materialize locale. Whether it is calculating and elucidating the forms beneath architectural projects or analyzing the foundation of (viewer) reception, his physical presence recontextualizes the space around him, inasmuch as those structures reconstitute him. In the super 8 works like Seedbed, Trappings, and Combination, the material structures of the gallery/institution is literally and metaphorically revealed by Acconci’s performance and the audience’s relation to his body (even through the gaze of documentation). The divisions between spectator and the privileged art object (here, Acconci’s body) are obfuscated. Art and its housing, the gallery, are de-centered, returned to the public domain to continue being open and vulnerable.
At 5 pm the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Architecture Landscape and Design will present a free lecture by Vito Acconci @ Earth Sciences Building Auditorium, 5 Bancroft Avenue.

18. EVENT: "Centre for Women's Studies in Education at OISE/UT 2005/06 Performance Events "
Beginning November 28, 2005; Source:Pam Patterson
NOVEMBER 28 -DECEMBER 2
Erika DeFreitas: The Snapshot Chronicles.
Installation, OISE 2nd floor main hallway.
Performance: November 28th 8pm.
FREE
The Snapshot Chronicles uses the setup of a school 'picture day' to create a narrative where black youth can document their personal experiences of marginalization within the public education system. Students from secondary schools throughout Toronto have been invited to participate in this performance and installation. This project will combine the use of text and images to provide a platform for black youth to chronicle their journeys.
Erika DeFreitas is an emerging conceptual performance and installation artist who has been actively producing and exhibiting artwork over the past three years. The many theories surrounding concepts of identity and the influence of language on the formation of one's identity provide a foundation for her
work. Through the use of performance she is able to create artwork that includes the audience as active and at times, unknowing participants.
JANUARY 30 -FEBRUARY 3
ARTIFACTS: IN/valid
installation, OISE 2nd floor main hallway.
Performance date: TBA,
FREE
IN/valid, a new work by ARTIFACTS, raises questions surrounding the nature of women and invalidism, women and health, the perception of women's frailty and the
current "pink" campaign for women with breast cancer. Using text and images, the performance/installation invites viewers to look, feel and respond to statistics, images, stories.
ARTIFACTS, formed in 1983 by Pam Patterson and Leena Raudvee, produces collaborative works which combine the sensibilities and concerns of art and theatre. It explores contemporary culture, looking at the myths, assumptions, and fantasies, and placing them in a new context. The core of their work is informed by feminism, and women's issues and concerns. Performance art well suits this process, and while the performances may contain many personal and specific images and text, their intention is to investigate how women have been/are being formed, and to reveal attempts to negotiate this formation. The tension is between the personal and the formal, which raises questions as to the nature of feminist art practices and women's roles in society. ARTIFACTS has performed and
exhibited for venues such as 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, A Space Gallery, The Banff Centre, Buddies in Bad Times and the Women's Art Resource Centre.
