Call For Entries Artists of All Mediums: Circulation The strength and value in art is located not solely in its visuality, but also in its ability to circulate as an object, or at the most basic level- its grounds in a circulating idea. Within a tiny droplet of blood, there are some 5 million red blood cells. It takes about 20 seconds for each of these red blood cells to circle the whole body. These red blood cells will each make approximately 250,000 round trips of the body before being replaced by another red blood cell. USA Today has a daily circulation of 2,528,437. In one year, that amounts to 922,879,505 reads. By the end of the Civil War, between one-third and one-half of all U.S. paper currency in circulation was counterfeit. The ice age cycles were influenced by changes in ocean circulation arising from changes in the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Booksmart Studio is seeking submission of artist works that confront, explore, exploit, challenge, and investigate the modes, methods, and effects of circulation. Keeping in line with the diverse modes of circulation and dissemination, the exhibition is open to all mediums. For more information contact gallery@booksmartstudio.com or visit http://www.booksmartstudio.com/news.php?section=1&NID=%2098

Brooklyn Historical Society seeks proposals from artists and writers for participation in the upcoming project, Interpreting Brooklyn. Any individual or group working creatively in any media including, but not limited to, visual and installation artists; photographers; writers, composers, and playwrights; as well as dancers and performance artists are invited to submit a proposal to create work in response to our collections. The project will culminate in an exhibition in the Society’s galleries and a series of readings, performances, and programs, all scheduled to begin in October 2008. Thanks to a generous grant from the Getty Foundation, each participant (individual or group) will receive a $6,000 stipend. The deadline for proposals is February 8, 2008. What are the details of the project? BHS will invite ten participants (individuals or groups) to create new works that creatively interpret BHS’s collections. All artists and writers will attend workshops at which the BHS staff will provide guidance in exploring the depth and breadth of the collections, touring the museum galleries as well as the storage facilities where a number of works that have not been seen by the public in many years are located. Ultimately the artists and writers will identify works in the collections that served as inspiration for original work they will create. Participants may create in collaboration or independently and are welcome to visit and work at the BHS whenever staff members are available. The exhibition and programs will include the artists’ and writers’ work along with the objects from BHS’s collections that inspired them. Please visit Brooklyn Historical Society's website, www.brooklynhistory.org, to download a .PDF file with details of the open call and the submission process.

Call for Entry at Root Division, S.F. Deadline: January 5, 2008 The curators are interested in showcasing original devices, processes, and appropriations used for making sound. We are soliciting submissions from various fields: music, visual art, performance and computing. We will select pieces in terms of their sculptural and conceptual qualities rather than musical viability. We are interested primarily in mechanical or material solutions whose formal qualities emerge from their sound making intention. The sculpture doesn't necessarily need to produce a sound but it should be implied that the object might once have or could produce a sound. Questions of interest: Can sound be implied in a sculptural object? What are the conceptual components used to make a sound? How do the sculptural qualities emerge from the sound function? Is the sound present or absent? Is it precise, imprecise, or failed? Is a specialist needed to use the device? Does the viewer complete the sound object? Can the public choose when and for how long to participate? Is there poetic or sometimes destructive residue to mark the memory of a sound? Does the device bridge different disciplines in interesting ways? Deadline: January 5, 2008 Notification: January 15, 2008 Exhibition: March 2008 Please submit the following in the body of an email: - 3-5 jpgs no larger than 800px - URL for additional media (sound or video) - A brief description of the work - A current bio or resumé Please do not attach text documents or media over 1MB. You may submit completed work or proposal drawings along with exemplary recent work. ROOT DIVISION sound_sculpture@rootdivision.org 3175 17th Street (at South Van Ness) San Francisco, CA 94110 415.863.7668
