|  | | (SCENE) Announces A Call-For-Proposals: Mail Art- Peter Richards [ 11/28/2007 - 15:26 ] # EAST LANSING, Mich. - East Lansing's alternative art space, (SCENE)
Metrospace announces a call-for-proposals for an upcoming exhibit of
artwork which has traveled by post.
Mail art is art which uses
the postal system as a medium. Mail artists typically exchange artistic
works in any medium, including but not limited to: painting, drawing,
collage, graphic design, sculpture, assemblage, video- or audio-based
works, conceptual works, and installations. (SCENE) presents an
in-depth investigation into this artform, which evolved between the
1950s and the 1990s, and was influenced by such art movements as Dada
and Fluxus. The size and scope of each artwork depends on the artist.
For (SCENE)’s exhibit, the following definitions of Mail Art will be observed:
1.
v. Like a message in a bottle mediated by the sea, so mail art switches
hands and is thus transformed. 2. n. The last object touched by one’s
self, representing one’s self for another to hold. 3. n. An artwork
that considers the journey as much as the destination.
Artists of all types are invited to submit current, original works for this exhibit. The exhibit will take place from January 11, 2008 through February 24, 2008. All entry materials are due Friday, December 14, 2007, in order to be considered for exhibit. Early submissions are encouraged. Actual works must be received no later than Friday, January 4, 2008.
Entry
materials must include a current artist's biography and/or artist
resume, as well as an artistic statement to accompany the proposed
artwork(s). Proposals may include images (.jpegs or .gifs) of actual or
representative works, either on a CD mailed to the address below, or
e-mailed to scenemetrospace@gmail.com.

| | ||
| Dispatx Art Collective | | | | ||
| We're pleased to announce the publication of the sixth edition of Dispatx, which coincides with a complete redesign of the website. Curating and developing works from poets, photographers, painters and writers, for this edition we once again present an extremely diverse set of responses to the notion of Improvised Maps. These works in Show include a dozen projects developed online over the last five months and seven additional submissions including work from Gonzalo Puch, Denis Masi, Andrea Brady and Daniel Canogar. In addition the exploration of the theme Eminent Domain can now be followed on a daily basis. Until June 2007, the Make area of the site will feature the work of seventeen projects chosen to explore the theme. These include works by Emanuel Licha, Juan delGado, and Paulina Varas. The Studio, an integrated set of documentation tools, allows the artists to post regular updates to their work in a continuous investigation of the creative method - the organisational process that translates creative vision to creative product. Through making comments on the artists' process in Make, site visitors form a part of this organic process. We have provided a set of tools allowing you to create private collections, leave comments, and subscribe to RSS feeds for the projects that interest you the most. To familiarize yourself with these changes, please take the site tour. | | | About Dispatx | | | Dispatx provides the tools of a socialised internet for the development and presentation of contemporary art and literature. Visitors are invited to interact with the artists via the online display of their working processes, and to create unique private collections of the finished works. Through this process we seek to establish a new curatorial discourse based on artistic working practices. | | | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons license | ISSN 1750-9505 | |

| | | Eminent Domain | Call for Proposals- Oliver Luker [ 10/2/2006 - 11:17 ] #  In old English law, eminent domain refers to the power of the state to take private property without the owner’s consent. Since the mid-19th century it has been employed as part of large-scale development projects and urban renewal – controversial practices that can be extremely destructive for local communities. The policy is often implemented when there is a perceived obstruction blocking the progress of a particular project and powers of override must force its conclusion. In investigating this theme we call for artists to recast the concept of eminent domain in the context of creative work. Here it becomes similar to recourse – in the face of blockade, alternative and often radical tactics may be resorted to in order for an idea to move forward. At a point of critical mass existing systems begin to fail, invoking a form of negation and opening up a space of uncertainty. This uncertainty may force a radical reformulation of a work at a crucial moment of its incompletion and potential. The concept of regeneration is helpful in investigating this theme with regard to process revision and its relation to the creative method. Literally beginning again, regeneration suggests a recursive, self-referential procedure. It also indicates different approaches to revision: on one hand there can be subtle, incremental modifications of existing structures, systematically inching toward a result. On the other there can be a Kuhnian paradigm shift – a more radical action that can demand a clean slate from which to begin from scratch. The interplay of these strategies and the conditions that formulate them are fascinating areas of exploration. To what extent are points of resistance and conflict essential for shaping creative decisions? Are great ideas born of frustration or along paths of least resistance? What kind of space does this recourse open up? In this context, the theme of eminent domain speaks not only to literal interpretations concerning revised landscapes, power relationships and innovation from decay, but also to a broader theoretical reading about the space opened up by an enforced change of approach. The use of these concepts, either as the subject of investigation or as a guide to process and methodology, will result in a fascinatingly diverse group of projects for the next edition of Dispatx. For more information on how to submit, please click here.

| | | UN Millenium Goals- Ben Gaydos [ 7/19/2006 - 17:28 ] #
 Last week I participated in a poster workshop at the ICOGRADA design
conference. Each participant was to create a poster for one of
the UN's 8 Millenium Development Goals (of which nearly all hadn't
heard of prior to, and was an expert on after). While there were some
obvious hurdles in both the project and the workshop itself, the final
posters were impressive and powerful, and turned out to be one of the
most gratifying and productive aspects of the entire conference.
Please visit the workshop website and help spread the word about these important issues.

| interactive digital stuff- Julia Yezbick [ 7/13/2006 - 10:32 ] #
When Ben and I were in Mexico City recently, we saw an exhibit at the Rufino Tamayo Museum that just blew my mind! This artist, whose name is I believe Santiago Ortiz, uses sound and images, put together through what seem to my simple mind very mathematical processes, to bring you hours of fun! These are all digital interactive "sound and energy" pieces that are part of a larger collection of interactive computer pieces. Who could pass up something with a name like "music over fractal land" and "sound sticky elastica structure?" Wish I could explian it all better, but maybe someone else, who understands the mechanics of it all can add on a little tidbit of information for those of us whose last computer class was before e-mail even came about...
Enjoy!

| | | A little life for Flint- Chad Dally [ 2/16/2006 - 11:08 ] #
Those of you from Michigan probably have some idea what kind of shape
Flint is in right now. For those of you who've never seen the second
Motor City, watch Michael Moore's "Roger &Me"—yep, that's pretty
much what it still looks like.
Red Ink Studios (www.redinkstudios.com)
hopes to change that a bit by setting up free space for artists in a
formerly-abandoned building downtown. The group has already set up a
similar program in the San Francisco area with some success by taking a
percentage of the sale of art created in these free spaces. The artists
that are given free studio space also earn their keep by helping out
with art classes and programs in local schools—something Flint schools
really need.
You creative-types know what an impact a little art and culture can
have. Let's hope this can breathe some new life into Flintown. I heard
about this on Michigan Public Radio, so if you're interested stop by their site or check out Red Ink's.

Dispatx Art Collective is calling for collaborative project proposals and submissions based on the current theme in exploration : The Plague of Language The theme is underpinned by countless interconnected forms of communication, drawing on the rich history of human
utterance and phonology: its consideration suggests a simultaneous reassessment of how we define language and
semantics, and highlights an inherent philosophical discourse concerning how we can think about thought, or use
language to explore language. We are looking for collaborators to consider working
with us as a part of our 'Work in Progress' area - demonstrating the
process that translates creative vision into artistic output - as well
as submissions of finished work aligned to the theme. For more information, submission guidelines and schedule details, please visit www.dispatx.com To contact us directly, please email submissions@dispatx.com

Dispatx Art Collective are pleased to announce the publication of our
fourth edition - Abandonment. This edition contains 14 works comprising narrative and poetry, essay, photography, oil painting and sculpture, and video.
To speak of abandonment suggests a withdrawal or relinquishment of
influence, the exposure of a physical or social structure to the
dereliction of time or a cessation of protection. It can also describe
a state in which one is given over to forces beyond oneself – the
extreme highs and lows of the human condition. Above all, the act of
abandonment implies transfer – something orphaned is passed to another
controlling agent, something is gained.

discusses each of the works in detail : in addition, all archive
issues can now be searched by work title, description, and artist
details. For more details, come to www.dispatx.com

Mocoloco: How are graphic design and object design related, if it all?
Peter Saville: Not at all really. Graphic design is communications
design, which means that primarily it’s for others to others. Object
design has the capacity to be personally motivated, very rarely does
graphic design provide that opportunity. It is a communications medium,
so if you’re expressing yourself you need initially to be the author of
that which you wish to express – therefore you will be a writer, a
storyteller, or an image maker first - then you may use the medium of
graphic design to express that which you intend.

There will be a Hurricane Relief Benefit at Lansing's Temple Club this Monday, September 12.
Lansing musicians are donating their time and talents to raise
much-needed funds for our people in New Orleans who have lost so much. 100% of the proceeds from the door will go to Red Cross efforts
to transport, feed, clothe, and shelter the thousands affected by this
national disaster. If you're in town, please come out and support this
effort -- it's sure to be a night of great music, but let's remember
the seriousness of the situation and our responsibility to help our
neighbors in Louisiana who've been hit so hard. Give generously.
The show starts at 8:00 pm.
The line-up includes John Wesley Harding Overdrive, the Failers, The
Gentleman Callers, The Hop-Ups, Eric Kelly and the Dirty Johns, The
Pantones, Mike Vasas and The Beasts of Burden, Firewheel Handshake,
Hall & Morgan, and Stephen Leonard. Special thanks to Joel
