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.

Eligibility: Chicago

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
Submission Guidelines:

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.

ACP Photo Festival Public Art Project
National Deadline: February 12, 2012 - Since 1998, Atlanta Celebrates Photography has supported Atlanta's emergence as an international center for photography. Through an annual October festival and year-round programs, ACP seeks to nurture and support photographers, educate and engage audiences, promote diverse photography venues, and enrich Atlanta's cultural scene.
The acclaimed ACP Public Art program, an integral component of the annual ACP festival, has featured temporary projects in a variety of diverse locations throughout Atlanta. It is significant in its ability to reach beyond the audience of traditional art venues and for its ability to expand the way its audience considers and perceives photography and ''lens-based'' media.
ELIGIBILITY
Any artist as an individual or team may apply, provided that the person(s) or firm who will be responsible for the actual fabrication and/or construction of the piece(s) have had previous experience in the medium(s) proposed, which must be disclosed in detail in the application form.
ENTRY FEE: None
MEDIA
No media restrictions have been established in order to ensure maximum creativity for participating artists. However, since ACP is an organization that promotes all things photographic, it is a requirement that your project involve lens-based or photographic media as an integral part of the piece (this includes images and/or video captured by a lens, or media in which light sensitivity is a primary element of the material, or reimagining the uses of photography, or possibilities of imagery made with light). We encourage you to think widely and to explore this concept without restraint.
Please keep in mind the ''Selection Criteria'' listed below. Projects that rely heavily on complex or untested technologies are discouraged - usually, the simpler the better. Please download descriptions of past ACP projects for a demonstration of the variety of projects we have commissioned.
BUDGET
$9,000 has been allocated. The budget is all-inclusive, covering design, construction and/or fabrication, transportation, delivery, site preparation, lighting (if applicable), insurance, consultant fees, installation and de-installation at the conclusion of the project. Artist's travel (if applicable) and all other costs associated with the project (including Artist's fee) are included in this amount. If the proposed budget exceeds $ 9,000, your application must detail how the overage will be funded.
SITE & DURATION
Applicants may propose sites, but should be aware that it is the applicant's responsibility to obtain permission and access from the proper authorities. Note that Artist should initiate the obtaining of permission during the application process if possible. ACP can assist the artist in securing an appropriate site(s) for the project if assistance is needed. Consideration should also be given to security, view accessibility, and ambient light issues of a proposed site. ACP would like the project to begin in late September/ early October 2012 and be on exhibition throughout the month of October, but will consider other time durations as they relate to specific projects. The artist should plan to remove the project early November, 2012.

Call for Proposals 2012 - Wanted: Live Art for Children!
Deadline: February 17th 2012
Application Fee: None
ANTI is an international contemporary arts festival presenting site-specific works made for public space. Over the past 10 years ANTI has presented live, sonic, visual and text-based art from today’s most exciting and innovative artists. A truly international festival and Finland’s foremost presenter of Live Art, ANTI is a meeting place for artists and audiences fascinated by how art shapes the spaces of everyday life.
We are looking for innovative and exciting live art works for children. ANTI has a long history of presenting ground breaking projects for children and this year our annual call out is focused on finding something truly inspiring. We especially invite proposals from contemporary performance makers who have not made. work for children before but would like to produce something for a young audience. In previous years companies and artists like Gwendoline Robin, Lone Twin and Mammalian Diving Reflex have presented outstanding work for children at ANTI. That’s the tradition we want to continue: great work made by great contemporary artists for children.
Your project can take any form – it may be participatory and children do something with you, or it might be something a young audience encounters by surprise, or anything in between. Your project may last 30 minutes or seven days. It may be for an audience of one, or hundreds and projects should be targeted at specific age groups – from new-borns to teenagers.
ANTI is a site-specific festival – we do not show work in traditional art spaces, neither do we show touring street theatre: all our projects have a direct relationship with the spaces and places they are shown in. When proposing a project please make it very clear where your project would ideally be located, and why.
Before making your proposal please visit http://www.antifestival.com
and spend some time with the archive to get a sense of the festival and Kuopio.
The proposal process
All proposals must be sent using the electronic form on the festival’s website: http://www.antifestival.com/2011/eng/info/proposals/
The form allows a link to be made to any online documentation artist’s may have of previous work and for artists to attach their CV and three images of their work. Any proposals that do not conform to these guidelines will not be considered.
The proposal deadline is February 17th 2012.

Deadline: 02/15/12
CALL to ARTISTS: CALADAN GALLERY presents a juried exhibition entitled "ISOLATION". Whether it be self-induced or otherwise, there is a rampant amount of isolation associated with the beginning of the 21st century. The media, computers, etc. all point to the individual being lost and absorbed into a larger whole, while becoming isolated emotionally, physically and intellectually from his or her fellow citizens. We are searching for the visual reflection of isolation and its effects on the individual as well as the greater society. We have been extremely fortunate to be creating an exciting, diverse, and active meeting place for artists, averaging over 55,000 viewers a month, and have provided a warm and positive virtual atmosphere since 2003. All media except video are eligible. Please go to www.caladangallery.com to download prospectus (click on "enter your artwork") OR write to: Caladan Gallery, Box 391939, Cambridge MA 02139 OR call: 617-838-8929 for more information.

RESIDENCIES:
Torpedo Factory Art Center Visiting Artist Program
International Deadline: February 15, 2012 - Emerging and experienced artists are invited to apply for one, two, or three-month residencies between June 1 and August 31, 2012. Visiting Artists will be provided with studio space and will be able to display and sell original work. The Torpedo Factory is open to the public every day; visitors are invited and welcomed into studios to watch artists at work, ask questions, and purchase original art. The projects undertaken by Visiting Artists for this self-directed, creative residency must be compatible with available working studio spaces and facilities. Finalists will be selected by juror Paula Amt.
There is no application fee.
ELIGIBILITY
The Visiting Artist Program is open to all emerging and experienced visual artists over the age of 21 who are not currently Torpedo Factory leaseholders [Torpedo Factory Associates are eligible and selection will not affect Associate status].
Applicants provide evidence of artistic accomplishment through submitted images and the application form.
By applying, applicants agree to: (1) work in front of, and interact with, the public; (2) work in the studio five days a week during the period of the residency (because most of our visitors come on the weekends, we request that Visiting Artist work on those days); and (3) commit to follow the Visiting Artist Program requirements.
ABOUT THE VISITING ARTIST PROGRAM
The Visiting Artist Program residency is intended as a professional development opportunity for emerging and experienced visual artists, and to expose visitors to exciting artists and projects. Applicants may apply for a one, two, or three month residency period.
The projects undertaken by Visiting Artists for this self-directed, creative residency must be compatible with available working studio spaces and facilities.
The Visiting Artist will have the opportunity for informal collegial exchanges with Torpedo Factory artists. As part of the program, each Visiting Artist is also asked to conduct a workshop, give a lecture, or provide a demonstration, elaborating on his/her work. Visiting Artists will be able to display and sell original artwork, and will be provided with workspace.
Each Visiting Artist will pay one-half of the rent of the studio (amounts range between $130 and $400 per month for the Visiting Artist depending on the studio). The Torpedo Factory Art Center does not have any shared equipment or facilities. All expenses and arrangements related to art materials, equipment, transportation, housing or other requirements are the responsibility of the Visiting Artist.
SELECTION PROCESS
Selections will be made in a two-step process. The juror, Paula Amt, will review all applications and select a group of finalists who present evidence of artistic merit and promise based on submitted images and applications. The Visiting Artist Program Committee will then match as many finalists as possible to spaces available, taking into account the applicant's requirements, attributes of the specific studios available, and the goal of providing a range of media experiences to our visiting public.
Visiting Artists will occupy studios temporarily vacated by resident artists, and will have use of half of the display space and a dedicated work area. Because studios differ widely in size, configuration and features (e.g., ventilation), and studios are not completely sealed off from each other, enabling sound and odor to travel widely throughout the building, it is important that applicants identify equipment and materials to be used during the residency.
Applicants will be notified of final decisions by April 1, 2012.
JUROR
Paula Amt is a painter and the owner of gallery plan b and Framesmith DC, both in Washington DC. She studied studio art and art history in Virginia and Paris. Paula has been active in the DC art scene since 1998, when she joined a co-op gallery on R Street.
Her experience as a framer led her to work with many local artists and collectors. In 2000, she began showing small groups of artists in temporary locations in the DC area; in 2005 she established gallery plan b where she continues to search out and show the work of many talented artists.
