EVENT INFO:
The third installation of ASCII, the Archeospiritist Study and Consortion Initiative IL, will be held at The California Clipper on April 5, 8:30pm-10:30pm.
The first ASCII was also held at the Clipper, and the photo archives can give you a gist of the event:

______________________________
THE RULES OF THE GAME:
ASCII is a framework of specifications/rules -- both mandatory and optional.
Participation is open to all who will adhere to the following mandatory specifications:
Let me elaborate on #1 and #2:
There's no requisite number of multiples, nor any constraints upon the media used. That would be completely up to you. Me -- I like to make 50 copies, and I generally have a bunch left over from any event I create them for. Also, I realize not everyone is keen on baking audio into plastic forms, so rule#2 implies that if rule#1 is followed, then there's room for some interesting legal circumventions.
In addition to the core specs, I'll offer the following strong recommendations (optional, but highly endorsed):
EXTENDING THE RULES -- ALSO AN OPEN CALL:
Furthermore, the core ASCII specifications can be extended by participants. Yes, you can make your own Draconian specs and entice others to follow them. Such rules could address the design of the shared artifacts, methods of display, codes of conduct, attire, etc. Spec extensions are optional, and just for fun, and here are three ASCII 3 extensions for your consideration:
http://www.archeospiritist.com/docs/ascii3_extensions.pdf
Moreover, participants may also undertake any of the extended specifications from the ASCII archives:
http://www.archeospiritist.com/specifications.php
If you would like to add to these specifications, please let me know by March 5. I would like to resend the updated extensions document to everyone, with enough time for them to think them over, and hopefully begin implementation.
______________________________
PROMPTS:
The event will be guided by "prompts", in lieu of any articulated themes. They will be part of the promotion of this event, and participants are welcome to deal with them in any direct, or aggressively oblique manner they choose.
The ASCII 3 prompt is a piece of writing submitted by Caroline Picard:
http://www.archeospiritist.com/docs/carolinePicard__ascii3-Prompt.pdf
Here's an excerpt:
When the horse begins to take over it seeps inward -- soaked up by human tissue, the horse spreads through and quickens, stretching to consume like fire does air, like man does the earth.
In its original body, the beast was passive, docile for an eternity of service; here, having entered a new form, it gallops through arteries and sweats through pores.
The artist's veins are red and swollen: you can see through her skin where it puffs up angry, beating with new blood: greedy to possess, consume and digest. Her face remains placid. The cigarette, abandoned in its ashtray by her feet, smokes itself. She slept poorly thereafter, was turned off meat with spattered, restless nerves --
In addition, she has forwarded the following video:

____________________________
DUE DATES:
Please let me know if you'd like to participate as soon as possible -- you don't need to describe the intended project, just promise me you'll adhere to the 3 mandatory ASCII rules (at least).
I will send out press announcements on March 22, and send the general email & Facebook invites out on March 30. To be listed in these invitations, I'll need to know you're participating by those dates. That said, the event is welcome to any last-minute inclusions.
Again, the deadline for proposed specification extensions is March 5.

The Black Cloud Gallery would like to extend an invitation to exhibit your work in a skateboard- themed group art show. We are primarily seeking Chicago area artists; however, if you’re passionate about skateboarding, send us your creations.
Our intent is to have an in depth and varied exhibition that celebrates the independent and innovative spirit of skateboarding. Artwork chosen from Small Town Skate Shop’s 5th Annual Skate Show will create the basis of this exhibit. The selected artwork will be transferred to Black Cloud Gallery, where works from other local artists (that’s you!) will be added. The Chicago-based company Character Skateboards will also be premiering their new decks and celebrating their 10 year anniversary.
This will be a curated show, so not all submissions will be accepted. Our space is limited to 1300 sq. ft. but 10 years of Character skateboard decks will be displayed, and will take up a considerable amount of space.
We are accepting up to 5 electronic submissions per artist. Art in any medium is welcome, just make sure you limit your entries to 5 total and that it’s skateboard themed! Please email submissions including titles and dimensions to lauren@blackcloudgallery.net. Once your submissions are received, we will notify you via email regarding which artwork is accepted. Entries will be accepted no later than Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012. Feel free to visit us at the gallery before the show, or check us out at www.blackcloudgallery.net.
Join us at Black Cloud Gallery for the opening event on Friday, March 2nd. We will have a second showing for Second Fridays on Friday, March 9th.
Thank you for your time, and we can't wait to see your submissions!

Call Out for Video Art
The Standard For Spring in collaboration with Rogue Art
(Manhattan NY)
Open Call for video art projects for:
The Standard for Spring
Tara Raye Russo (Artistic Director) in collaboration with Jeanne Brasile (Founder Rogue Art and Director of Walsh Gallery, Seton Hall University)
The Standard for Spring is seeking artists’ videos for an outdoor screening in some unlikely places at impromptu times by unconventional means. Artists whose work is adaptable to being projecting onto people place or things is the conceptual fit for this event.
Some examples include but are not limited to:
An impromptu screening by a wireless mobile mini projector projected onto a white wall of foamcore panels held by people.
Large scale projections onto exterior walls.
Reverse projection screenings on windows.
The Standard for Spring continues a movement of impromptu art in public spaces as set forth by festivals like: Conflux, Rogue Art, SITE Fest and Art in Odd Places. This practice allows artists to break free from the confinement of the studio and the gallery space and interact with an unsuspecting and unassuming public. This alchemic occurrence spontaneously animates a space and renders a unique experience that has the potential to momentarily alter or transcend the everyday experience.
The Standard for Spring is a one day outdoor event of performance art and video on Saturday May 19, 2012 with a rain date the following Saturday. Once the performance departs from the meat packing district, roving performances will lead the way on a walk that connects the audience from one performance and video screening to the next. Locations and artists will be updated and announced on twitter.
The theme of The Standard for Spring is “see and be seen” and embraces the idea of the world as a stage in a city where anything is possible. As its backdrop, The Standard Hotel and surrounding buildings overlooking the Highline’s promenade, induces a symbiotic type of voyeurism, mixed with a transient touristic quality. Glass highrises exemplify the idea that to be contemporary is to be transparent. The level of interconnectedness that it wishes to attain with the outdoors is limited by a separation of glass. This breach of detachment is just one example of the type of barriers that The Standard For Spring should seek to break down, integrate, occupy, reveal or create. During a time of heightened voyeuristic meddling, made possible by the Internet, our experiences are becoming the experiences of others. What we portray and how we portray it is a source of unlimited inquiry and expression.
The Standard for Spring is the art of intervention, it is seasonal, can be fleeting, confidant, of excellence, a display, whimsical, colorful, temporal, ethereal, curious, serendipitous, emergent, integrating, communicative, revealing, pheromonic, cathartic, rebellious, confrontational, flirtatious, voyeuristic, primal, restorative, airy, fragrant, prowling, alluring, warm, gay, and instinctual.
Time and Departure Location: TBA
Event Date: Saturday May 19th rain date May 26th

PUBLIC ART CALLS AND RFQ'S:
Broadway Sculpture Project RFQ
Fashion Center BID
(New York NY)
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
Public Sculpture on Broadway Pedestrian Plazas
The Fashion Center Business Improvement District is seeking artists interested in submitting their qualifications to be considered for a public art installation of their existing work in the Summer of 2012 on the outdoor plazas on Broadway in the Fashion District.
DEADLINE: February 24, 2012
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Fashion Center Business Improvement District (FCBID) maintains and operates public plazas in the Fashion District along Broadway in cooperation with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT). As part of a program to enhance the public environment and to increasing community access to art, the FCBID is inviting artists living, working, or operating in New York City to submit qualifications for consideration as the first step of a proposal process. In the second step, selected artists may be invited to submit developed proposals for their installations. Of these, one or more artists may be selected to enter into an agreement to work with the FCBID to install their work for up to two months in the summer of 2012. FCBID will consider installing between five and fifteen sculptural artworks (from one to three works per plaza). All works will be subject to approval by NYC DOT.
HONORARIUM AND PROJECT BUDGET
Artist selected to submit proposals will receive a $250 honorarium.
The project budget will be up to $40,000 total, installed and insured by the artist. The budget includes an artist fee of up to 20% of the final art project budget. As part of this fee, the selected artist(s) will be required to submit a budget, produce completed designs, show proof of insurance and have the artwork installed in coordination with the FCBID.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The five pedestrian plazas of the Broadway Boulevard project area are located on Broadway in Manhattan, between 36th Street and 41st Streets (36th to 37th Street, 37th to 38th Street, 38th to 39th Street, 39th to 40th Street, and 40th to 41st Street).
The pedestrian plazas are red, gravel-coated, areas formerly part of the Broadway roadbed which have been transformed into places of public use and enjoyment. Lined with planters of bushes, trees, flowers and other plants, the block-length plazas feature tables, chairs, benches and umbrellas to create a park-like atmosphere in midtown Manhattan.
Situated between Times Square and Herald Square, the Broadway Boulevard plazas are in one of the most heavily traversed and highly visible areas of Manhattan. Thousands of employees work in buildings around the plazas and the area is a major pedestrian corridor for tourists and commuters. Additionally, as the home of the American fashion, the district is an international market, bringing in tens of thousands of business visitors annually from across the country and around the world.
Artists are strongly encouraged to visit Broadway Boulevard in the Fashion District before responding to this RFQ.
ARTIST AND ARTWORK CONSIDERATIONS
For this program, FCBID is seeking to have installed artwork which will have strong visual impact and which will complement or otherwise enhance and highlight the public plazas and the Fashion District. As described above, works selected for installation will be outdoors for an extended period of time and exposed to significant and generally unmonitored pedestrian traffic.
Artists selected in this phase of the process will present their background, qualifications, and examples of their artwork which will establish their ability to present and install works with the following qualities:
*Artistic Merit: The artist’s work must demonstrate a high standard of design and proficiency in their medium
*Site Suitability: The artist’s work must demonstrate that their work would be suitable to the environmental and social context in which it would be placed, including, but not limited to, concept, size, and visual quality.
*Durability: The artist must demonstrate that their work would be constructed from durable materials suitable for outdoor installation. Works would need to be weatherproof, not easy to vandalize, and easy to maintain.

Further, applicants should have a strong focus upon and be working with artistic research and development and demonstrate an ability to reflect critically upon artistic processes that can also be integral to teaching practices.
