England Conservatory offers rigorous training in an intimate, nurturing community to
750 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral music students from around the world. Its
faculty of 225 boasts internationally esteemed artist-teachers and scholars. Its
alumni go on to fill orchestra chairs, concert hall stages, jazz clubs, recording
studios, and arts management positions worldwide. Nearly half of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra is composed of NEC trained musicians and faculty.
The oldest independent school of music in the United States, NEC was founded in 1867
by Eben Tourjee. Its curriculum is remarkable for its wide range of styles and
traditions. On the college level, it features training in classical, jazz,
Contemporary Improvisation, world and early music. Through its Preparatory School,

The Callithumpian Consort
The Callithumpian Consort returns to the front lines of avant-garde sound
with its EXPERIMENT SERIES. Once a month, on a Friday, new, uncharted
worlds at the frontiers of free improvisation and the avant-garde will be
trespassed and ruined for future generations.
The series was founded in March 2004 to present concerts that explore the
crossroads between composition and improvisation in an informal atmosphere
conducive to the enjoyment of both aficionados of creative music and the
first-time listener. Each concert is produced by New England Conservatory's
Callithumpian Consort, an eclectic contemporary music ensemble led by
pianist/NEC professor Stephen Drury, with support from the Massachusetts
Cultural and Cambridge Arts Councils. The series is co-curated by
improvising multi-instrumentalist Jorrit Dijkstra, who will invite special
guests to join the Callithumpian Consort in exploring different
improvisation strategies.

A Secret Service: Art compulsion concealment
Opening Hatton Gallery Newcastle University Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU
Artists: Sophie Calle, Roberto Cuoghi, Gedewon, Henry Darger, Susan
Hiller, Teching Hsieh, Katarzyna Josefowicz, Joachim Koester and Adrian
Dannatt, Paul Etienne Lincoln, Mark Lombardi, Mike Nelson, Kurt
Schwitters, The Speculatice Archive, Jeffrey Vallance, Oskar Voll.
Curated by Richard Grayson
The human fascination with secrets is explored in A Secret Service:
Art, Compulsion, Concealment, a new exhibition organised by Hayward Gallery Touring in collaboration with the Hatton Gallery, Newcastle University.
The exhibition explores the work of 15 international artists and groups
whose practices centre on the creation of secret worlds or the exposure
of hidden facts and images. It includes key figures of Modern art,
established and emerging contemporary artists and 'outsiders'. Together
they address numerous aspects of secrecy: magic, alchemy, sexuality,
dreams, religion, political conspiracy, assumed identity and the covert
workings of the State.
The exhibition has particular reference to Kurt Schwitters, whose final
creation, the Merzbarn is now permanently installed at the Hatton
Gallery. The Merzbarn 1947-48 is among the rare surviving examples of
Schwitters' four Merzbuildings - complex, architectural constructions
created from refuse and found objects. During Schwitters' lifetime the
Merzbuildings were seen only by his most trusted friends, today they
remain confounding riddles. A Secret Service presents rarely seen
documentation of the Merzbuildings in conjunction with a specially
commissioned new work by Turner Prize nominee Mike Nelson.
The exhibition explores the work of 'outsiders' and those operating
beyond the mainstream. It includes a substantial presentation of work
by the reclusive Chicago janitor Henry Darger whose immense body of
watercolour illustrations for the fantasy novel In the Realms of the
Unreal came to light only at the very end of his life.
A Secret Service is curated by artist and curator, Richard Grayson. His
recent exhibitions include Intelligence, 2005 and Messiah, 2004 at
Matt's Gallery, London. He was Artistic Director of the Sydney Biennale
in 2002 and Arts and Humanities Research Fellow at the University of
Newcastle 2003 - 6.
A fully illustrated catalogue featuring essays by Roger Cardinal, Clare
Carolin and Richard Grayson will accompany the exhibition. It is
distributed by Cornerhouse Publications.

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.

"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

An Open Call from NewTown for All Art Disciplines
Opens Mid-October, 2007
Deadline for Proposals, July 20, 2007 (postmark)
What Is NewTown's SKIN . . . "NewTown’s SKIN" explores the outer millimeter of the
human body; epithelia, epidermis, sweat glands, pores,
follicles, nerves and subcutaneous fat; its actual and
imagined freight of creases, wrinkles, supple luxuriance,
scars, aesthetic adornments, and perhaps a microscopic
mite or two. Its fetishization and commodification as
advertising, reliquary fodder, primpable facade and living
canvas will be among the many possible approaches to this
most elastic of themes. In other words, we are not looking
for skin as a metaphor, as in the skin of a building.
The show will have three parts, each with its own format and
context. Your proposal may cross between the formats. You
may also submit unrelated proposals in more than one format.
THE GALLERY SHOW will open in mid-October, 2007 at The
Armory Northwest in Pasadena. NewTown is looking for work
in any format so long as it will last for at least two months
without getting too rancid. The space is large, so large scale
pieces are possible.
OPENING NIGHT performances dealing with skin should be
designed to work in the somewhat chaotic milieu of a typical
opening. SKINNED PERCUSION PERFORMANCE? VERY
COOL!
An evening of PERFORMANCE AND MEDIA art will be held
during the run of the gallery show, if sufficient work of high
quality is submitted.
More information at NewTown's web site.

Call for Works for the 60x60 project
Vox Novus is inviting composers to submit works 60 seconds or less in length
to included in its fifth annual 60x60 project. 60 compositions will be
selected to be performed continuously in a one-hour concert, in conjunction
with multimedia elements and an analog clock marking the passage of time.
During the concert each of the 60 pieces selected will begin precisely at
the beginning of the minute, this will mark the end of one piece and the
beginning of another. There will be no pause between the pieces. Works may
be less than 60 seconds in length, but may not exceed 60 seconds. Works
selected that are less than 60 seconds long will be "padded" with silence
either before, after, or surrounding the composition. Please note that the
total duration of the work including silence may NOT exceed sixty seconds.
The 60x60 project's definition of a record work is as follows: any work
created as a musical composition which is captured on recorded media, which
does not require live performers for its production in broadcast at concert
halls, radio, multi-media, etc. Its creation can include but not limited to
acoustic instruments, voice, environmental sources, and computer (Sampling,
MIDI, C Sound, ProTools, etc.)
Acoustic compositions should be submitted with the understanding that it is
their recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used to
determine its selection. Scores of works are strongly discouraged and will
not be used in the selection process.
Excerpts of larger works are strongly discouraged. 60x60 is a project of
"signature works" and short works created specifically for the 60x60
project. Works generated from procedures (i.e. mathematical matrices,
organizational systems, or computer programs,) remixed works, or themes and
motives recomposed from other of the composer's own work are acceptable.
The call is open to composers of any nationality, age, or career stage.
Works submitted must not have been previously performed or broadcasted.
Compact Discs that include the audio submission must be labeled with the
composer's name and the title of the work. The submission form must be sent
at the same time with the submitted work. Submission form must contain the
composer's name, address, email, phone number, composition title,
composition length, and track position on the compact disc. Biographies and
program notes may be included on a separate sheet, but must be typed and
each may be no longer than 100 words in length.
Multiple works may be submitted. Each work must be noted on the submission
form(s) and clearly indicated on the CD. Do Not send originals! No works
will be returned, and may be performed in subsequent performances after the
debut concert. All submissions must be postmarked by May 21, 2007. Selected
works will be announced on September 17, 2007. Submission of the work(s) on
compact disc must be accompanied by the submission form and sent to:
60x60
Deadline: Submissions must be postmarked by May 21, 2007
Submissions must include: Submission Form (including bio and program notes)
and a labeled CD containing the submission in audio format. Submission forms
can be downloaded at www.VoxNovus.com/60x60/Call.htm or by written
request to Vox Novus
Works selected for the 2007 60x60 project will be announced on September 17,
2007. Composer will be notified of the results by email or they can visit
The Sonict Ensemble of the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater invites
composers to submit scores for consideration for performance. The ensemble
can perform works for varied instrumentation, including any combination of
acoustic instruments. We especially encourage submissions for small chamber
groups that include sax, sax ens, perc, and perc ens. We also strongly
encourage submission of works that include electronics, either on CD or to
be performed via Max/MSP. Two-channel tape works or works for/including
video will also be programmed regularly as part the series, both as part of
our regular ensemble concerts and on special electronics-only performances.
All submissions not selected for performance will remain in the music
library and may be considered for future concerts. If you would prefer to
have your materials returned to you, please include an SASE. Please email
for questions and send scores and recordings (if available; please, no MIDI
files) to:
tracks wanted for a power-field comp - recordings made "in the field" using power electronics
whatever "field" means to you, go there. and however you want to process, amplify, make it audible in that location or not,,,,, just bring yr gear and record it, whatever. take a picture too if you can, i'd like to use them for the package. honor system - no edits or overdubs

Chisel, cut, mix, set in spaceŠSound has the power of the cinema and is lighter
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
artists, with performance-exhibits, monthly performance art and
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.

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
11.
ORGANISM: MAKING ART WITH LIVING SYSTEMS
organism is a new mailing list for people interested in art that
involves living systems. discussion topics on organism include
technical, practical, aesthetic, and ethical issues.
subscribe to the organism mailing list:
http://music.columbia.edu/organism/
the idea of making art with living systems is not new; you might even
consider a topiary garden or a goldfish pond to be biological art. what
is new is the degree of control over biological systems and materials
contemporary technology offers us.
some artists making biologically-based art:
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.

Jim McAuley is a guitarist, improviser, and composer who is a central part of Los Angeles' improvisational music scene. Some reviews of his 2005 release, "Gongfarmer 18,"
"Exquisite album…McAuley invests so much feeling in his writing, there is such truth in the performances, that one cannot help being moved by the unusual melodicism of these tunes. Heartily recommended," Francois Couture, All Music Guide.
"Genuinely evocative and refreshingly cliche-bashing work," Josef Woodard, LA Times.
"A performance of extraordinary depth and range, finding room for everything from rhythmic cut-ups to a bleak Deltafied moan and twang," Nate Dorward, Signal to Noise.
Kraig Grady is a multi-instrumentalist and instrument-builder who has presented his work at the Norton Simon Museum of Art, the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum, the Pacific Asia Museum, the Chateau de la Napoule - France, California Institute of the Arts, Pomona College, Pierce College, Villa Aurora Foundation for European American Relations, the Schindler House, Beyond Baroque, the Brand Library, New Langton Arts, as well as numerous live performances on KPFK, KCRW, and KXLU. His work was also presented as part of the LA Philharmonic's American Music Weekend as well as New Music America. He has been nominated 4 times for the L. A. WEEKLY Music Award best uncategorizable artist and was chosen by BUZZ Magazine as one of the 100 coolest persons in Los Angeles.
Daniel Raimi is a guitarist and composer. Along with scoring numerous films in the last few years, he leads the instrumental group New American Wing (Brent Arnold, cello, Peter Evans, trumpet) in performances around the United States.
"Deliciously mournful jazz…the sound is exquisite," Wire Magazine, Issue 260, Oct. 2005.
"There are moments that are so beautifully done it seems as if one is sifting through a basket of jewels." Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide. Chris Dingman holds a B.A. from Wesleyan University and is currently pursuing his Masters through the Thelonious Monk Institute at USC in Los Angeles. Chris recently completed tours of Vietnam and India with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Nneena Freelon, and many others along with the Thelonious Monk Institute.

Hi !

colleagues:
air conditioning that actually works
a dsl line useful for webcasting, along with possible access to a t-1
a no smoking space that doesn't leave you smelling smoky on your way out
much more noise insulation from the street than our old space
a collective of artist administrators that have busted their asses without pay for many months to keep our ongoing institutional experiment alive -- we need help

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.
