classical cabaret with a decidedly eclectic and avant attitude. Sit
back, stand up, lounge, meet friends, dance, sip away the heat and sate
every art Jones festering over the long hot summer.

Directions to "On The Slab"
About the Artists
*Jena Carpenter*
Jena moved to Los Angeles in 2001 as one half of a duo with her sister
Beth. They were founding members of the Eye of Newt Circus where they
worked with artists from Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Eloize, Diavolo Dance
Company, and the Pickle Family Circus to create unique theatrical circus
productions. Jena's work also includes performing in music videos for
OutKast and Dru Hill, performing her solo contortion act on Soaptalk,
and doing acrobatics and stunts for the motion-capture animated film
"The Polar Express". Jena's newest performance collaboration is with
Liza Rose. They perform graceful modern-dance-influenced partner
hand-balancing, and duo aerial skills, trapeze and hoop. Their most
recent performance was with "Rites and Rituals", a full-length
theatrical production choreographed by Christopher Fleming of the Rock
School in Philadelphia, and produced by Keith Arsenault of Circus Nexus
in Florida.
*David Ornette Cherry with Ensemble for Improvisers*
*Mitchel Evans*
*Here and Now Theatre Company*
*Kan Zaman*
In addition to muwashshahat, the group performs songs of major artists
of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries such as Muhammad 'Uthman,
Sayyid Darwish, M. Abdel Wahab, Umm Kalthum, Farid Al Atrash, Asmahan,
Fairuz and many others. The group also performs traditional folk songs
from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, and the Arabian Gulf.
*Non Credo (Joe Berardi and Kira Vollman)*
Their new release, Impropera, is a bit of a departure from their
previous multi-layered approach to recording. Capturing the spontaneity
of their live performances, they present an "improvised opera".
Utilizing Kira's remarkable vocal range and a musical landscape of bass
clarinet, percussion and unusual samples, they lead the listener on a
journey with many detours and dark alleys along the way. Be prepared to
get seasick, beaten up, thrown in jail, fall in love, contract an STD,
have your heart broken, your wallet stolen, get shanghaied, hog tied and
crucified.

LA:
The hop-frog kollectiv presents:
DUNG MUMMY @ il corral
Refrigerator Mothers
The hop-frog kollectiv's Refrigerator Mothers are ritualistic and tribal post-punk folk dreamweavers but, let not the term folk lead you to the narrow field of American folk music but to indigenous folk music from around the world. The Refrigerator Mothers post-post-punk kraut punk folk-noise punk sound of the future embellishes electronic beats, with looping as well as live tribal percussion, throbbing bass and swirling guitars rich with the usual cast of hop-frog kollectiv members and their toy/world instrument antics ranging from saz to electric kazoos to rebaba to kitchen sinks to cumbus to child sized accordions.
After several CDr releases this will be Fridge Mums first vinyl release which will be followed by a full length CD on URCK Records (www.urck.com). The multi-colored hand numbered seven inch features two tracks, locking grooves, found objects and more. The release performance will feature a psychotic orchestra of belly dancing, tribal drumming, surly guitars, probing bass, tablas, synthesizers and cello.
Larkin Grimm
"Larkin Grimm (now based in Providence, RI) was born in a Memphis, TN commune and grew up in Dahlonega, Georgia in the foothills of the Appalachians with a family of singers and fiddlers. Harpoon, her debut CD, reflects these rustic influences through a modern, psychedelic filter. Larkin's intense, ecstatic voice with swirling multi-tracked patterns recalls the richness of Illuminations-period Buffy Sainte-Marie and the sparkle of Linda Perhacs. Her instrumentation includes duclimer, pennywhistle, bells, drums and guitar. Larkin was previously a member of the Dirty Projectors (Western Vinyl) where she astounded audiences with her mesmerizing voice. She has also played shows with folks such as Entrance, the Microphones, Viking Moses, Old Time Relijun and her brother Joe Grimm's project the Wind Up Bird. Larkin Grimm is a very special artist and Harpoon is a truly magical recording."

"No Point Takes Up Space" sculpture by Sky Burchard
an Experimental Exhibition and Live Art/Visual Art Performance Space
Voted 5th Most Popular Art Gallery
Exhibit Dates
Wednesday through Saturday
The exhibition opening celebration
1020 East Fourth Place
Los Angeles, CA, August 28, 2006 - Ever wanted to live inside a video game? Now you can at Dangerous Curve, at Sky Bur chard's "No Point Takes Up Space" sculpture exhibit. Step inside the mind of a great artist/hacker. The exhibition celebration is on Saturday, September 16, 2006, from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Live art and music TBA, with the usual great vegan food prepared by our master vegan chef, John Saslow. The exhibit is up until October 21, 2006. See ourwebsite for directions, pictures, and updates.
We're located at 1020 East Fourth Place, between Molino and Mateo Streets, in the back of the 500 Molino Street Lofts, #102, between the Fourth Street Bridge's (on the LA River side of downtown) two on/off ramps.
Burchard writes that he "was intensely analytic" as a child. He didn't just play with toys---he "would find their seams, test their strength, take them apart, put them back together, and exaggerate the way they were intended to be used." As with Richard Feynmann, the famous physicist, he has always been interested in how things are made, how they work. "Now I take things apart as I consume them," he writes. "I cannot throughly enjoy something if I am not taking it apart as it is coming together in front of me." He deconstructs movies as he watches them, video games as he plays them. "Avid gamers know that the best way to beat a game is to see what is behind the surface, behind the graphics and the narrative, down to the code," he writes. In fact, that is how Burchard makes art, going "about living, analyzing things, consuming them, poking holes in them while appreciating them."
This show highlights one leg of Burchard's multifarious output: his video game environments. He prefers light games to horror ones. His "Emerald Hill Zone/Act 2" is a 10-foot-long 3D version of the grass in the "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" game. He played the game when he was a child and always wanted to be inside it. In the game, we see the 2D version of the grass. Burchard "imagines" the 3D version of it, opting not for a relief, but a full-blown 3D version. He imports the image into Flash, makes a 3D template for it in Maya, snaps to grid to get measurements for cutting the parts out of EPS foam, cuts the foam, paints it, and assembles the pieces. He works bottom-up, building up works from small pieces. Nevertheless, Burchard learned from his employer Yutaka Sone not to get too detailed.
Burchard makes his "Blue Set" furniture pieces from the "Animal Crossing" game with texture maps on polystyrene, with more foam. They depict the way the game's objects are built out of 2D elements to appear 3D. He extrapolates the inner workings of various computer applications to sculpture fabrication. For instance, he noted that when one flips an image in computer graphics, one reverses the image rows, but if one "flips" each pixel-high row, one gets the same image. In "upside-down chair," he slices an IKEA children's chair horizontally, turns each slice upside down, and reassembles the chair with each slice in its respective position horizontally. The result is a chair that is globally right-side-up, but locally upside-down.
Burchard holds a BFA from UCLA and an MFA from USC. He's been seen in numerous group exhibits at such places as Black Dragon Society, Bowie Van Valen, Raid Projects, Shenandoah House, and Akiyoshidai in Japan.
Come see this beautiful show and be transported into worlds you never thought you'd visit.

Hollywood, CA:
"sound." Concert Series Concludes with Rare Performance by Art Ensemble of
Chicago Co-Founders Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman
Summer series returns to the Ford Amphitheatre for final event of the 2006
season
SASSAS is pleased to present two towering figures in modern jazz, Roscoe
Mitchell and Joseph Jarman, in a rare duo, on Sunday October 8 as a part of
"sound." at the Ford Amphitheatre. As founding members of the legendary jazz
collective the Art Ensemble of Chicago, these veteran multi-instrumentalists
last performed together in Los Angeles as a part of the Ensemble in the
mid-1970's. For this exclusive performance at the Ford Ampitheatre,
they make their first appearance in Los Angeles as a duo, swapping solo sets
and playing together.
The music created by Mitchell and Jarman appeals to fans of jazz, modern
classical composition, modern American music, spiritual music, American
primitive music, and Afro-centric music. In the book "Great Black Music:
Ancient to the Future," author Lincoln T. Beauchamp, Jr. describes how the
Art Ensemble of Chicago encompasses all forms of Black artistic expression
and communication, from ancient rites and rituals to sanctified pulpits;
from the language of drums to rap; from la Conga to the Jitter-Bug.
Listeners can expect a live experience with the musicians utilizing many
different instruments: Mitchell's main instrument is the saxophone, and
also plays clarinet, flute, piccolo, oboe, baritone and bass saxophones.
Jarman is also a saxophonist and a multi-instrumentalist who plays
woodwinds and many percussion instruments, including vibes, marimba,
balophone, and an array of bells, gongs and little instruments. He also
incorporates voice with these instruments.
Mitchell and Jarman's musical lineage stretches back to the beginnings of
free jazz via the Art Ensemble of Chicago (along with Lester Bowie and
Malachi Favors), and before that as founders of the highly influential AACM
(the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) in 1965. The
AACM can count internationally known jazz musicians Anthony Braxton, Henry
Threadgill, Wadada Leo Smith, and Muhal Richard Abrams as former members,
among others.
"The Art Ensemble was unquestionably a groundbreaking band. In the late
'60s and early '70s, the Art Ensemble helped pioneer the fusion of jazz
with European art music and indigenous African musics." - All Music Guide
Both Mitchell and Jarman have remained vital forces in music through their
solo performance, composition, and improvisation, placing them at the
vanguard of not only jazz, but of modern music.
In 2004, Mitchell released "Solo 3," an ambitious 3 CD set of solo saxophone and
percussion works. About Mitchell's work Mathew Sumera of
the Jazz and improvised music webzine One Final Note wrote, “Mitchell's
sound world is one of heterogeneous homogeneity. It is not that he lacks
the ability to strive toward a unified statement; again, he simply chooses
not to. Unity can just as easily be achieved without compromise, without
modifying the personality of a single statement—simply place one against
the other. It is not some sort of smashed, forced, postmodern sensibility.
It is a commitment to the fact that sounds exist together. We hear
simultaneity."
Joseph Jarman's work takes in a wide variety of influences, including jazz,
western music (especially Webern and John Cage), Asian music and theater
and African music. Because of his collaborative work with poets, dancers
and other artists, he is sometimes called the first "multi-media" jazz
musician. In 1990, Jarman was ordained a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist priest. His
devotion to Asian philosophy and meditation has brought much to his
musicianship, especially the values of breath and silence. Jarman
summarizes the many strands of his experience as an interest in "the sound
of the universe." He last performed in Los Angeles in 2003 as a part of
sound. at the Schindler House in an evening of solo works and in a trio
with legendary bassist Henry Grimes and percussionist Alex Cline.
Mitchell and Jarman's particular brand of jazz music - based on free
expression and ethno-polyrhythms and interplay - remains influential. These
enduring musicians continue to shape modern music for listeners interested
in challenging current musical conventions.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mediatopia.2 fresh!
Artists create art in cyberspace, but can you hang it on a wall?
Mediatopia.2 fresh! assembles an exciting mix of recent net-based work by a diverse group of neoteric artists, creatives and thinkers. Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the Internet, both as creative medium and as a channel to share and distribute their output. The Internet, with its network functionality and potential for user interaction, is their creative playground: a form to manipulate and a means of social or political expression. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is a net-based opportunity for artists to gain exposure for their culture work. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is produced by Adhocarts.org, a non-profit media-arts organization. Lara Bank and Andrew Bucksbarg worked together to curate a program from recent work submitted internationally that uses the Internet as a playground, platform or paintbrush.
Jessica Ivan's Retrotype historically traces female representation in video games through an interface that allows the participant to personalize and question the object of their gaze. Do you live in East L.A. and long to live closer to celebrities in a gated community? Carlos Katastrofsky performs Neighborhood and Area Research for you, so you can discover who your IP address neighbors are in cyberspace. On the Internet, distance is collapsed as ideologues are brought closer together. Michael Takeo Magruder's
Together these disparate works signify the production, both singularly and collaboratively, of persons whose concerns go beyond the instance of capital and reach outward to the cultural center of what digital media can mean for human expression and communication. Their work is a mirror before us that traces both our success and failure: together and separate in the network. These words may wish to provide an overview or representation of their work, but fail to provide the one thing these artists considered as they created their work- your interaction. This interaction forms a means to destabilize the relation of the author or creator, bringing in the user as an active director or participant in the process.
Artist's work created for the Internet poses problems for persons, museums or galleries who would collect and display it. Internet Art is not easily installed in these traditional spaces, and although digital information does not degrade, the technology that expresses it is constantly changing and upgrading. Software evolves, computers and their operating systems change, as well as progressive modifications to the human-computer interface, making it difficult to collect and archive this kind of work. Net-based art is ephemeral under these circumstances.
Artists who create "net.art,' have another problem at hand as well. How do you create value for something that is distributed on a network and available to anyone with a computer and connection? Historically, most art, aside from live performance, is based upon its being a one-of-a-kind object that maintains or even gains value as a collected piece. This makes raising funds for or selling this work a difficult proposition. Rachel Greene, author of Internet Art, writes, "Internet Art has less to do with objects of social prestige, and little, at least currently, to do with the cosmopolitan art businesses that thrive in New York, Cologne, London and other culture capitals.' These limitations have given artists who work with the Internet a kind of freedom and revelry of exploration, as well as a particular tool for cultural and institutional critique. Many artists see the Internet as a cause to really challenge fundamental elements of humanity: identity, methods of communication, technology, politics and the institution. These artists understand that people expanded by the Internet all over the world, are brought together in cyberspace.
The Internet was launched in 1989 by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. As the use of the Internet grew, so did a community of artists who began to utilize it as a creative medium by the mid 1990s. Some of the early practitioners of Internet Art were Post-Communist East Europeans and organizations like the Ljudmila Media Center in Slovenia, supported by George Soros's Open Society Institute. Much of the practice of Internet Art also saw support in media arts festivals in Europe during this time. Internet Art has grown over the years as the Internet has seen increased use and is now getting more recognition from the traditional formats of museums and galleries.
Artists will continue to participate in the social uses of new technology. They will take part in future network technologies and cultures, where the Internet will be augmented by shared virtual space. People on the network will come together in synthetic worlds to create, communicate and recreate. This is already occurring in online multi-player games and environments like Second Life (http://secondlife.com), which include their own economies. Objects and land can be bought and sold and complex social transactions take place in these ephemeral, digital realms that exist on servers. Some artists, such as Chris Burke, are hacking online multi-user games for other purposes, such as a talk show in game space (http://www.thisspartanlife.com).
Artists have a long history of socially relevant communication from within the culture they are steeped. Mediatopia.net and its supporting organization, Adhocarts, offer perspective to this process in the continually shifting phenomena of cyberspace. Mediatopia.net is produced by Adhocarts (http://adhocarts.org), which sponsors a variety of expressions that fall on the lines of interconnecting disciplines, theories, technologies and cultures. Adhocarts.org is a non-profit collaboration supporting arts and culture by producing avenues for creative expression and thought both online and off. Adhocarts.org was founded in 2000 and exists as a catalyst for work that uses technology and hypermedia, such as net.art, installation, digital video, writing and live art.
We still believe in net-based culture. Mediatopia.net

The Invisible Guy
is online now!
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Fellow Cyber-Surfers:
This is to let you know that my latest and current project, The Invisible Guy, is now officially online. Over three years in the making (and still in progress), it consists of lots and lots of music - surf tunes, humorous songs, a couple of tangos, and some demented anachronistic pop stylings not easy to describe - and for every number a scene (delivered in prose, I'm afraid; no flash cartoons or videos. You have to enjoy a good read).
These will be uploaded every Friday for the next 40 to 50 weeks, much like a serial novel. So to enjoy the full ride you'll have to keep coming back. It's cumulative though; once up there, every episode will be permanently available and accessible any time.
You are invited to get your first glimpse of The Invisible Guy right now at the above URL. Listen to the theme song, meet the gorgeous but wicked Zipper Ripper, and learn a bit of trivia.
This is a free online entertainment from the Leisure Planet.
(By the way, view it in Netscape if you can. Some stuff doesn't look right otherwise, and I'm not sure why.)

Viralnet.net is now online!
Viralnet is a productive nexus: critique, archive, art space and journal.
It intends to raise questions and provoke assumptions about culture,
media, politics and the arts.
Working with international social critics, media theorists, writers,
curators and artists, it is an online space that will grow and mutate as
it delivers material for these post-digital, post-democratic times. As
human experience becomes more mediated, we will highlight alternative
pathways into future thought and art making.
Produced by the Center for Integrated Media and the MFA Writing Program at
CalArts, Viralnet offers a series of commissioned online projects, essays
and interviews with a view toward articulating new concepts and working
strategies developed by contemporary intermedia artists, writers and
theorists. Tom Leeser, Director of the Center for Integrated Media,
says Viralnet is set up to look at digital media in relation to
culture, politics and the arts. The computer and the Internet have
expanded far beyond the boundaries of an exclusive digital domain,
allowing a transformation from novelty to the familiar," he says. "As with
radio at the beginning of the 20th century, digital technology has entered
a state of flux, going from an object of privilege to a common and
everyday ubiquitous appliance. This will have creative, social and
political ramifications that we are only beginning to
experience and understand."
Some of the contributors to this release of Viralnet include; social
critic and author, Norman Klein, new media theorist and author, Lisa
Nakamura, Kitchen curator and author, Christina Yang, artists, Perry
Hoberman and Sara Roberts.

New American Radio Website Project
New American Radio
New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. is pleased to announce its
redesigned, updated and expanded NEW AMERICAN RADIO (NAR) website that
includes full-length radio art programs by American and European
artists. Currently available are works by Terry Allen, Jacki Apple,
Diamanda Galas, Sheila Davies, Suzan-Lori Parks, Gregory Whitehead and
others. Additional programs will be added to the site in the coming months.
A weekly series distributed to public radio stations nationwide from
1987-1998, NEW AMERICAN RADIO includes over 300 original works
commissioned from such artists as Pauline Oliveros, Rachel Rosenthal,
Christian Marclay, Alvin Curran, and Carl Hancock Rux. During its 15
years of broadcast life, NAR became known-nationally and
internationally as the principal source of radio experimentation in
America, ranking with such high-profile international programs as ABC
Australia's The Listening Room. Its works, which won numerous prizes
in competitions worldwide, were aired throughout North America, Europe
and Australia. Although now off-air, NAR enjoys an active afterlife on
the Internet, where full-length programs, audio excerpts, scripts and
other artist writings are available.
An amazing cultural mirror of its time, both in regard to the issues it
dealt with and the techniques and strategies used by its artists, NEW
AMERICAN RADIO is also being archived in the World Music Archive at
Wesleyan University, CT, where it will be accessible both on location
and on-line to students, educators, artists, scholars, and the general
public. The archive is made possible by grants from the National
Endowment for the Arts.

Intercontinental spontaneous jam session
New artwork by Icelandic artist Pall Thayer, the Intercontinental
spontaneous jam session is now open and accessible at
www.this.is/pallit/isjs
This piece explores abstract imagery created via a musical interface to
combine the inherently abstract qualities of music with randomness and
multi-user interactivity to create a truly abstract image that contains
no references to the physical world.

"Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"
La Biennale di Venezia:
49th International Exhibition of Art--
Concomitant Exhibitions
http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp
"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving
over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and
Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski,
and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik,
Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry
Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....
The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an
installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this
installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition
organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief
Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942,
in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This
entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the
art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to
understand modern art.
The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity
as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the
digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral,
time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed
virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world
where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is
the readymade.
** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital
files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to
Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the
Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags,
the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.
* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms
part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including
the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the
Municipality of Venice itself."

The Kronos Quartet-in collaboration with Carnegie Hall, Pop Montréal, the
Sally and Don Lucas Artists Programs at the Montalvo Arts Center, and the
American Music Center-is pleased to announce the launch of the fourth
Kronos: Under 30 Project, a program through which musicians under 30 years
of age are selected to create new music for the Kronos Quartet. The members
of Kronos will personally review the applications and select 1 musician to
whom the group feels artistically committed. Together, Carnegie Hall, Pop
Montréal, and Kronos will then jointly commission the selected composer to
write a new piece of music for Kronos. The Lucas Artists Programs at the
Montalvo Arts Center will host the composer during a multi-week residency in
the Saratoga Hills in Northern California, providing the composer a
supportive environment for creative work. The commissioned composer will
join Kronos in San Francisco, CA, to prepare the new piece, and will travel
to Carnegie Hall and to Pop Montréal for Kronos' performances of the work.
Please note: If you have applied to the Kronos: Under 30 Project in the
past, please read the following guidelines carefully, as they have changed.
We do not hold over applications from previous years, but we encourage you
to re-apply with your latest work. Applicant must be under 30 years of age
as of October 16, 2006, and can be of any nationality. Applicant must be
able to agree, if selected, to create a new work and provide written music
to Kronos no later than November 16, 2007. The selected composer will
receive a commission for a new work in the amount of $5000. (Commission fee
includes the creation of score, parts, any other necessary performance
materials.) The length of the new piece will be determined in discussion
with Kronos, but will be in the range of 10-20 minutes. The composer will
also receive travel and accommodations for an initial meeting with Kronos,
location and date to be determined; travel and accommodations for a
multi-week residency at the Lucas Artists Programs at the Montalvo Arts
Center; travel and accommodations for a residency with Kronos in San
Francisco to rehearse the new piece; travel and accommodations for the world
premiere of the new piece in concert in Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall on
February 22, 2008; travel and accommodations for the Canadian premiere of
the new piece in concert at Pop Montreal in October, 2008. Submit the
following materials together in one package: (1) a completed, signed
application form, available for download from the website below (please type
or print legibly, as it is important that we be able to contact you with any
questions); (2) 5 copies of a CD containing at least 2 pieces of music that
are indicative of the breadth of your recent work, regardless of
instrumentation (include at least 1 complete work; additional material can
be excerpts; we encourage you to present your most recent work first; no
preference will be given to composers who submit recordings of string
quartets; we suggest you keep the CD under 30 minutes; label the CDs clearly
with your name, the names and timings of the pieces, and the instruments and
names of the performers; MIDI or computer realizations are acceptable; CDs
are strongly preferred, but cassettes are acceptable in exceptional
circumstances; and (3) a note about your music; please include a brief note
that you have written about your own music-it should not be a review or
commentary by someone else (for example, you might write about a specific
piece, like a concert program note, or you could choose to write a more
general note about what you hope to achieve artistically through your music;
(4) 2 copies of your bio or resume, about your musical background; (5)
Optional: other work samples, such as written scores or videos (DVD
preferred), if they provide extra insight into your work. All materials must
be clearly labeled with your name and title of the work. Please do not send
any original materials, as they will not be returned. Incomplete, illegible,
and/or late submissions will not be considered. The selected composer will
be announced on the Kronos Quartet website, http://www.kronosquartet.org, no
later than March 15, 2007. Send your application package to:
"Medical/Arts", an Open Call from NewTown About Medical Arts Title:"MEDICAL/ARTS" Deadline for Submissions: NOVEMBER 1, 2006 Working with regional doctors and medical facilities, “Medical/Arts” will explore the medical arts and sciences from artists’ perspectives and, conversely, the aesthetics of medical practice, equipment and materials from the perspective of doctors and other practitioners. Medical/Arts will explore the relationships between artistic and medical world views. How do artists view the medical practice, science and artifacts? In what ways do medical practitioners find aesthetics manifest in their field? Where are the commonalities? Where the divergences? NewTown will explore this topic with two different shows: A gallery-based show, opening late March/early April, 2007, will provide 8 to 10 artists an opportunity to create works exploring the world of medicine. A like number of medical practitioners will be engaged to bring their aesthetic perceptions of their field into the gallery format. It should be noted, however, as the curatorial process unfolds, NewTown is prepared to adapt its format to accept the most engaging and provocative works (e.g. a doctor who is also an artist with work relating to the medical practice, or vice versa). Can My Work Be Critical of Medical Practices? Will Existing Work Be Considered or Must it be New? PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS You must include a CLEAR WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PROPOSED WORK, along with how it addresses the theme of the show. This should be no more than one page long. It can be only a couple sentences if that does the job. Just a tip that the panel is more likely to be annoyed than impressed by a long-winded treatise. For visual arts, A SKETCH OR OTHER REPRESENTATION OF THE PROPOSED PIECE will be required. REPRESENTATIVE WORK SAMPLE(S) demonstrating your ability to complete the project are required. Although work samples employing similar skills to those needed to complete your project are always helpful, we both understand and encourage you to take new directions and risks. If this is the case, please try to send us materials that show a variety of skills, both conceptually and technically. Work samples may be provided in the following formats. IF YOU WANT WORK SAMPLES RETURNED, you must enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If you want more than work samples returned, be sure to let us know. BIOGRAPHY NewTown email: info@newtownarts.org

Among the prizes awarded for acoustic creation, the Phonurgia Nova competition has, since 1986, occupied a special place by virtue of its recognition of artists whose work exploits sound as a medium for expressing the real and the imaginary. In 2003, 150 productions from 19 different countries were entered in the prize.
This year's competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression, on two areas :
RADIO ARTS will privilige all forms of inventive radiophonic creation: documentary,
fiction, essays, interviews, radio mix, Hörspiel, experimental forms etc.
NEW MEDIAS awards will go to sound installations or sonic works which have been specially created for "new media" to bring new experiences in sound art to listeners - mobile phone, audioblog, site exploring the acoustic dimensions of the net.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work:

Are you interested in performing on the Meridian Music series?
We welcome your interest and want you to have a sense of what we're seeking for this series. The space is a wonderful, intimate venue, a rectangular gallery space, deeply windowed at one end, hardwood floored, 14 1/2 feet by 30 feet with a 10 1/2 foot ceiling. We can seat a maximum of 50 people. We're on the second floor of a building in downtown San Francisco, generally quiet, but with some street sounds audible. There is not a piano in the space. The audience usually sits on comfortable folding chairs. Because it is an active, vibrant art gallery, the music always occurs in relation to the current exhibition. So, we are interested in music that works well in this resonant space.
Each concert is professionally recorded by Michael Zelner of Zoka Productions. With this opportunity, those selected will also share their unique musical perspective with a group of about 15 low-income, high school aged, interns in a one-hour workshop.
We invite proposals from composer/performers for solo or very small ensemble performances that take into account the size of the room. Quiet, "lower case" music works well here, so do sonically saturating pieces. It's a small space, and we respect the ears of our audiences and we want performers who understand that. We host a wide range of styles and approaches, including free improv, structured improv, minimalism, new (and old) complexity, as well as streams from jazz, "concert" music, art music from all world cultures, experimental music, and performance art. We hope to present a wide variety of these sorts of art music, and we need your proposals to help us to do that.
Your proposal needs to let us know what you wish to perform and how you sense your work fitting into the Meridian Music series. Just a few lines of text are fine; we're not after pages of information. You're also very welcome to enter a conversation with us about what you'd like to do. We're working artists and musicians and educators and we always enjoy talking with others in these fields. We want your experience with us to benefit you as well as us and that is why we look thoughtfully for good matches of performer and space.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely, Tom

There is a new improvising space in the web at www.auracle.org
It's a webspace where everyone can improvise together, the only thing
you'd need to participate is internet access, a microphone (the
built-in mic of your computer is fully sufficient) and just your
voice or anything else that makes a sound. The idea is to provide an
easily accessable worldwide improvising space that anyone, musician
or non-musician, can easily handle and make music with it.
We over here in Stutgart are promoting this project from Saturday
25.9. until Friday, 1.10. every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. central
eurpoean time, and it would be great if as many people as possible
would join us in this time and improvise together.
the project was initiated by Max Neuhaus, realised by Shekar
Ramakrishnan, Kristjan Varnik, Jason Freeman and others, and you can
find more information on the website www.auracle.org
Hope to meet all of you there
i am a co-founder and co-director of collective: unconscious, an artist-run multi media art space and production facility that has just moved into nyc/usa/tribeca, to hopefully engage in the heretofore rather obscure task of the de-gentrification of a neighborhood in new york city.
at this point, the best way that many of the prolific members of the experimental art/media/theater community can help us is through doing a show/event at collective: unconscious. our carrying expenses are 7000 dollars a month, and we need to have a full schedule of weird, strange, shocking, experimental, original stuff going on in our space to keep us from economically crashing and burning in short order
we have karen finley www.karenfinley.org doing a run of shows in september and october, which means sizable audiences to glean for a whole slew of open 10pm slots.
a partial and by no means exhaustive pitch for our new facility:
the only space of its kind left in lower manhattan, in a sea of starbucked duane readed name branded cultural garbage, a barnacle of freakdom that you can help keep alive in the trying months ahead
come by any of our bookings meetings any sunday at 6pm at 279 church st., nyc, usa, and/or email scheduling@weird.org. speak to gecko or myself. we are inviting both local artists and international artists seeking to do shows/events in new york city at low cost. we want engaging original work that may not be as established as the work presented by other experimental art spaces in nyc such as the kitchen or ps122. if you don't know about our space and you are interested in booking an event with us, check out our website www.weird.org

RAM-Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents
A collection and a traveling archive of audio-artworks, a database on the Internet, and a center for different ways of listening
Proposal open to all artists who work with sound
Radioartemobile (RAM) and Nomads & Residents (N&R) kickoff an audio-artwork database.
All artists who have worked or are working with sound are invited to send an artwork on audio CD, DVD, or on a vinyl record. The RAM headquarters in Rome, via Conte Verde 15, will function as a gathering and a listening point and as an archive for all materials received. It will be open to public. Artworks will be gradually posted in the section "database" of the Radio website www.radioartemobile.it.
RAM is also the first location of a traveling archive initiated by Nomads & Residents. The second public presentation will be in San Francisco, at Southern Exposure, in the spring of 2005.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING AUDIO-WORKS
- the sender can mention any requirement needed to listen to the audio-work (type of loudspeakers, stereo system, headphones, etc.). These indications will be taken into consideration each time RAM would chose the piece for installing it, within the technical and logistic features available;
Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents will take the best care of the entered works, but cannot take liability for accidental damage, loss or theft. For this reason we suggest to send two copies of each material. RAM and N&R will
archive all sound works that fit the above mentioned requirements and will present them to the public.
Lorenzo Benedetti, Riccardo Giagni and Cesare Pietroiusti will listen to all the entries and will gradually post them in the web-site database. In turn-to the discretion of the curators- some artworks will be displayed in the RAM headquarters in Rome with the aim of offering the public also the possibility to explore different ways of listening to audio-works. The database will gradually increase the number of contributions and will be presented to the public at regular appointments. The first public presentation is scheduled for mid October 2004.
Deadline for first submission is September 1, 2004.
Please send the material to:

Dangerous Curve is a new Downtown Los Angeles experimental exhibition
and performance art space committed to supporting visionary emerging
artists of all ages, by emphasizing one-person shows of risky,
intelligent work that is not necessarily commercially viable nor
currently popular. Dangerous Curve is also a new venue for performance

experimental music events, and an annual end-of-summer festival planned.
Dangerous Curve is looking for performance artists and experimental
musicians for their monthly Performance Art and Experimental Music
Nights. We will give preference to work that is, in the words of Jacki
Apple, radical content in radical form. We want work that pushes
the envelope, not pure dance, singing, or theatre.
Submission format: DVDs/CDs/URLs preferred. We can handle videotapes
and slides, but not to your best advantage. For performance art, a
written description may even suffice; musicians must send samples.
Deadline: Ongoing.

GRANT
The New York Arts Recovery Fund will survey NYC artists to find out
if they need job retraining in the areas of teaching, social work,
and some construction-related trades as well as arts organizations to
see if they have laid workers off. Artists will be eligible for the
Consortium for Worker Education's job retraining program for NYC
artists whose economic base has been impacted by the disaster.
Additionally, it is possible that CWE will provide, with NYFA's help,
partial wage subsidies to nonprofit arts organizations that laid
workers off or cut back their pay or hours as a result of September

Eduardo Kac has made several transgenic artworks, including GFP Bunny,
a genetically engineered fluorescent rabbit.
Damien Hirst's A Thousand Years involves a cycle of maggots eating a cow
head.
Yukinori Yanagi uses ant farms in some of his work.
Edgar Lissel's Bakterium is photographic images rendered in
light-sensitive bacteria.
Richard Reames is an arborsculptor who makes extreme trees.
douglas repetto (that's me!) has a number of pieces, like How to Annoy a
Plant, that involve plants and time-lapse photography.

The changes wrought by the terrible events of September 11, 2001 are
still becoming visible. The arts community has, like every other area
of life, been deeply affected by the terrorism and its aftermath. In
response to the horrors and destruction in New York City and
Washington, D C, the Santa Fe Art Institute is contributing to the
support and normalization of life in America. The Santa Fe Art
Institute is offering two to four week residencies in beautiful,
quiet residence spaces with studios as respite for artists whose
living spaces or studios have been compromised by the terrorism. The
residencies are available during the fall and winter at no cost to
the artists.
Please send a letter (and slides if possible) to The
Santa Fe Art Institute, 1600 St Michaels Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87505,
Or email to: info@SFAI.org
Longwood Cyber Studio is equipped with four NT networked pc

administrative office as regards your telephone and fax needs. While
they are well aware that access to computer and office equipment only
offers relief of a material nature, they hope that relief may help to
assuage some of the worries of those affected by this loss. Bronx

Surprises
Because the offramps are so confusing in Old Pasadena, we suggest you
use MapQuest for directions. That said, here are some tips. From
Colorado Blvd. in Old Pasadena, go North on Fair Oaks Ave. Go
approximately one mile and you will see a plain brown building with
banners on the front, that announce it as The Armory. The show is in
the rear. There is parking in rear, on the south side of the building
and on the street. Go to the back of the building and enter at the
north end.
(In alphabetical order)
Presented by Jumbo Shrimp Circus Academy
Jena Carpenter dedicated herself to a career as an aerialist, acrobat,
and contortionist following extensive training in Dance from Oberlin
College, studies at the San Francisco Circus Center, and private
coaching from various circus professionals with origins as diverse as
the Moscow Circus School, Mongolia, and L'ecole Nationale du Cirque in
Montreal.
Presented by SAPPA with assistance from NewTown
The son of jazz great Don Cherry keeps the continuum alive with his own
music. LA's own David Ornette Cherry has found his voice with what he
calls "multi-kulti" music. "My music is a union of textures, sounds,
lifestyles, surroundings, and messages in a universal language
emphasizing a positive state of mind," says Cherry. Fans already
familiar with his inventive, improvisational style will be in for a
treat. For everyone else, be prepared for adventure!
Presented by Jumbo Shrimp Circus Academy
Mitchel Evans is a multi-faceted artist: a mordant clown with a dark
physical comedic sensibility; an accomplished mime; and a fine arts
photographer. He recently appeared as part of the Lolita LaVey cabaret
show at the El Cid on July 27th, 2006, synthesizing classical clown
techniques, contemporary adult themes and the occasional foray into
multimedia.
Presented by Here and Now
Here and Now, an exciting newcomer to the Pasadena arts community,
brings a long and skilled commitment to a spectrum of theatre
experiences. Their youth theatre defies easy categorization, engaging
young people in experiences resonating into their everyday life. Their
commitment to new theatre, including many premieres brings to Pasadena
an adventuresome new voice, often reflecting tied to the Pacific Rim and
Latino experiences of our region.
Presented by Kan Zaman
Kan Zaman Community Ensemble performs classical and traditional folk
songs from various Arab countries, employing traditional musical
instruments such as the qanun (zither), 'ud (lute), nay (reed flute),
kaman (violin), riqq (tambourine) and darabukkah (goblet drum). Our
programs feature a number of waslat (suites) using different maqamat
(modes). The wasla (suite) starts with an instrumental introduction,
taqsim (instrumental improvisation), mawwal (vocal improvisation) and a
medley of songs performed by the chorus and solo vocalists. The
performances include muwashshahat, a form of poetic songs started around
the ninth century in Arab Spain. The muwashshahat performed by the group
are the ones encountered in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. This form of
muwashshahat is different from the Nuba and the Maluf of North Africa.
The ones encountered in the Middle East evolve from a certain form of
poetry that has three to four lines.
Presented by Kan Zaman
Non Credo is the duo of Kira Vollman and Joseph Berardi. She's a singer,
he's a drummer, but their musical palette extends well beyond the scope
of their primary instruments. Clarinets, marimbas, accordions, cellos,
broken down keyboards, cheap electronics, altered children's toys and
anything else that falls into their path are utilized. Their sound, with
its quick-witted arrangements and Teutonic expressionism balanced by a
whimsical attitude, falls solidly into the RIO (Rock In Opposition) camp.
Presented by Jumbo Shrimp Circus Academy
Tim Simpson melds his talents as a comedy savant with intimate circus
ambience and the trappings of classical vaudeville. His ukulele, broad
humor and rare virtuosity on the musical bicycle pump are a guaranteed
crowd pleaser.

- Secret Eye press release

www.myspace.com/miketamburo
Mike Tamburo was born in 1977 in New Kensington, PA. When he was 15 months old he was diagnosed with Otitis Media. His ears had filled with fluid and he was unable to hear correctly for several months. Ear specialists and surgery introduced Mike to the world of test tones and perceptual challenges. A musician from a very young age, Tamburo is an accomplished guitarist, performing primarily on the acoustic guitar informed by his love for visual art and extensive studies of 20th century composition. In the late 90s Mike founded the band Arco Flute Foundation with Pete Spynda, Matt McDowell, Rob Dingman, and Jeff Komara. In 1996 he also formed Meisha with Ken Camden and Pete Spynda. Both bands recorded and released a number of records and toured extensively before eventually breaking up, leaving Mike to pursue his now thriving solo career. Currently Mike tours the world obsessively in support of his impressive debut Beating of the Rewound Son, released in 2005 on the Music Fellowship label to much critical acclaim. He now performs alone and is always recording, painting, making films and videos, listening to music, studying Enthobotany, thinking or watching television. "Beating of the Rewound Son is a beautiful album that is just as comfortable exploring sun-drenched houses in the country as it is empty warehouses sitting along a polluted river, and it is the discoveries you can find here that which makes the album so rewarding." Brainwashed "In a musical climate that seems hungry for acoustic guitarists who aren't afraid to veer from the beaten path (see continued reverence of Fahey, the emergence of Basho-Junghans into the American consciousness, and the exaltation with which Sir Richard Bishop's last disc was received), Mike Tamburo, in Beating of the Rewound Son, has made an intelligent and impressive debut."

Date of Shows: SPRING, 2007

Location: ARMORY CENTER FOR THE ARTS (gallery - media/ performative TBD)
Honoraria: VISUAL ARTS, MINIMUM $300 per work: PERFORMANCE AND MEDIA ARTS, CASES BY CASE
A show, possibly two, of media and performance art exploring artists’ perceptions of medicine. Formats may include media art, spoken word, music, dance, performance art and others. Additionally, NewTown will work with the medical professionals to present film and video materials they feel incorporate or express, whether intentionally or by their nature, extra-scientific, aesthetic qualities.
"Medical/Arts" is a parallel exploration of two of our species more noble pursuits; the need to cure the body of disease and palliate physical pain and the need to express our thoughts and feeling through the arts. Given that context, it becomes obvious that NewTown’s intent is to explore, rather than attack. Within that framework, however, works that are critical of medical practices will be considered without prejudice. The major criteria used in curation of these works will be the degree to which the critique opens a dialog on the subject. In other words, a “faith-based” attack will probably not be favorably viewed.
With only very special exceptions, works should have been produced after 2003 and new work would be wonderful. We are leaving a little wiggle room for works that are of outstanding artistic merit and are absolutely perfect for this show. What’s life without a wiggle?
A DVD that is either edited to a 6 minute presentation or with track(s) indicated. (Must be Region 1 format)
VIDEOTAPE that is either edited to a 6 minute presentation or cued to a desired 6 minute section.
CD that is either edited to a 6 minute presentation or cued to a desired 6 minute section.
35MM SLIDES, up to 10 with orientation indicated.
WEB SITE
A brief biography, preferably no more than one long paragraph. A resume is not a substitute for this requirement. Hate to be a stickler on this, but when it comes time to put together press releases and program notes, it really is a nuisance to try to extract a bio from a multi-paged resume. You can also send a resume if you feel it helps us know you a little better.

Creativity Courses Spring/Summer 06
Founded in 1993, the Creativity Workshop is dedicated to teaching people about their creativity and how to use it in all aspects of life, work, and creative expression. The Creativity Workshop helps people believe in and develop their imagination through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative writing, visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and storytelling. In a non-competitive, nurturing atmosphere, our workshops help participants develop creative skills, expanded sense perception, innovative problem solving, inspired brainstorming, and new ways of looking at life as exciting and transformative. The price of the New York workshop is $650, tuition only. Our European workshop prices start at $1,650, including tuition and 9 nights accommodations. The only requirements for the Creativity Workshop are curiosity about the creative process and a sense of playfulness.
