Call: Interaccess seeks Recent Grads for a Group Show

Bend Over and Submit to InterAccess!
An Open Call for Recent Graduates!
Deadline: Friday April 25th, 2008.

Let us tie you up in an exhibition this summer. Submissions are now being accepted for the 8th annual Emerging Artists Exhibition. Since 2001, InterAccess has mounted an annual Emerging Artists Exhibition showcasing new media works by post-secondary students and/or recent graduates.

This initiative aims to provide students and recent graduates with professional experience and exposure.

We are looking for submissions of electronic, interactive and new media work, including works related to artistic genres such as sculpture, installation, video and performance. Preference may be given to submissions exploring the relationship and/or interaction between human intimacy and technology, although due to the fluidity of an open call the theme is responsive and the curator develops an exhibition related to the submissions received.

For more info, please go to: http://interaccess.org/about/calls.php

Call: Rhizome.org is awarding commissions to new media artists

In 2009, Rhizome will award seven commissions with fees ranging from $3000-$5000.

This year, Rhizome has expanded our scope, formerly focused strictly on Internet-based art to encompass the broad range of practices that fall under new media art.

This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies to works that reflect on the impact of these tools and media in a variety of forms. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices.

This year, all applicants will be reviewed by a selected jury and several awards will be granted through Rhizome's membership in an open, community vote.

Proposal submission takes place online. The deadline is midnight on Monday, March 31, 2008.
