#128 09.06.2011 (19' 04'') "We Can't Promise to do more than Experiment. Experimental film and beyond in Yugoslavia in the 60s and 70s" is a film program that brings together some of the most outstanding films produced in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia over this period. They all helped to bring about a shift in the dominant film language and explored new thematic, aesthetic and production paradigms. This project accompanies the exhibition "Museum of Parallel Narratives. In the framework of L'Internationale". Son[i]a talks to Ana Janevski, curator of the program. http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia_ana_janevski/capsula ==== Paul Brown - based in OZ February to August 2011 mailto:paul@paul-brown.com == http://www.paul-brown.com OZ Landline +61 (0)7 3391 0094 == USA fax +1 309 216 9900 OZ Mobile +61 (0)419 72 74 85 == Skype paul-g-brown ==== Synapse Artist-in-Residence - Deakin University http://www.deakin.edu.au/itri/cisr/projects/hear.php Honorary Visiting Professor - Sussex University http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/ccnr/research/creativity.html ====

This looks interesting - can anyone attend and review for CAS/DASH? June 15, 2011 Moderna Museet Stockholm Proliferation of the Sun by Otto Piene. Museum am Ostwall, Dortmund, 1967. Archiv Otto Piene/ZERO Foundation. © Walter Vogel. AN EXPERIMENTAL CONFERENCE ON ART AND SCIENCE TO CHALLENGE THE MID-SUMMER SUN 18 June 2011, 2–10pm Moderna Museet Stockholm Exercisplan 4 111 49 Stockholm, Sweden www.modernamuseet.se Share this announcement on: Facebook | Delicious | Twitter AN EXPERIMENTAL CONFERENCE ON ART AND SCIENCE TO CHALLENGE THE MID-SUMMER SUN is the exotic title of a conference with pioneers of late modernism and experts on art history, which will take place both indoors and outdoors at Moderna Museet Stockholm. The title refers to an exhibition by Gutai in Japan in 1955. The borrowing of this title for the conference is an acknowledgement of the groundbreaking work of this artist group. There will be presentations and discussions by art historians on the exhibition Motion in Art, on painting as action and issues on time, light and space. The conference serves as a launching pad for an upcoming exhibition, ACTIONpaintingACTION, curated by Magnus af Petersens for Moderna Museet in the summer of 2012. The conference is also homage to the 50-year-old exhibition project Motion in Art. The exhibition first took place at the Stedelijk in Amsterdam in 1961, led by the artist Daniel Spoerri, and was shown later that year at Moderna Museet under the auspices of its director Pontus Hultén. Fredrik Liew, curator at Moderna Museet, has compiled a short retrospective presentation of Motion in Art, opening the same day, and a guided tour of this presentation will be included in the conference programme. There will also be opportunities to meet artists from the legendary artist group ZERO, who participated in the exhibition Motion in Art at the Stedelijk Museum. Outside the museum, two classic performance works will be shown. In one of these artist and art educator Alessandra di Pisa and a group of youngsters perform a reenactment of Niki de Saint Phalle's Shooting Paintings that actually took place in Stockholm when the artist was invited to work and exhibit at Moderna Museet by Pontus Hultén. The other performance is a reenactment of a Cannon Shooting Painting by Shozo Shimamoto, led by the artist. The conference will also feature a reenactment of the performance Proliferation of the Sun by Otto Piene/ZERO and a completely new work by the Swedish artist Anastasia Ax with sound by Lars Siltberg. The last performance piece of the night is a stage performance by Shozo Shimamoto. All the acts of the day, will be unique experiences for the audience and in the last performance Shimamoto himself will activate the happening. The conference starts at 2 pm and ends when the midsummer sun sets over Stockholm. This is a unique opportunity to meet key figures in late modernism and to see new and historic performance works in real life. Participants: Otto Piene, Heinz Mack, Ute Meta Bauer, Julia Robinson, Dorothea von Hantelmann, Ronald Jones, Anastasia Ax, Lars Siltberg, Dieter Jung, Shozo Shimamoto, Fredrik Liew, Daniel Birnbaum, Alessandra di Pisa and others. Curatorial team: Magnus af Petersens, Catrin Lundqvist and Tijs Visser This experimental conference was made possible thanks to collaboration between Moderna Museet, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design and the Zero Foundation, Düsseldorf.

The SHAPES 1.0 CFP is out: http://www.sfbtr8.spatial-cognition.de/cosy/Events/shapes/ The Shape of Things 
CONTEXT 2011, Karlsruhe, Germany, Shape, Form, and Structure Shape, Form, and Structure are some of the most elusive notions within diverse disciplines ranging from humanities (literature, arts) to sciences (chemistry, biology, physics etc.) and within these from the formal (like mathematics) to the empirical disciplines (such as engineering and cognitive science). Even within domains such as computer science and artificial intelligence, these notions are replete with commonsense meanings (think of everyday perception and communication), and formalisations of the semantics and reasoning about shape, form, and structure are often adhoc. Whereas several approaches have been proposed within the aforementioned disciplines to study the notions of shape, form and structure from different viewpoints, a comprehensive formal treatment of these notions is currently lacking and no real interdisciplinary perspective has been put forward. This workshop will provide an interdisciplinary platform for the discussion of all topics connected to shape (broadly understood): perspectives from psycho- linguistics, ontology, computer science, mathematics, aesthetics, cognitive science and beyond are welcome to contribute and participate in the workshop. We seek to facilitate a discussion between researchers from all disciplines interested in representing shape and reasoning about it. This includes formal, cognitive, linguistic, engineering and/or philosophical aspects of space, as well as their application in the sciences and in the arts. We also welcome contributions on the relationship among representations of shape at different levels of detail (e.g. 2D, 3D) and in different logics, and with respect to different qualitative and quantitative dimensions, such as topology, distance, symmetry, orientation, etc. SUBMISSION DATES AND PROCEDURE: http://www.sfbtr8.spatial-cognition.de/cosy/Events/shapes/submissions/ ------------------------------------------- Francesca Franco

The Challenge of Ubiquity in Digital Culture CHArt 27th Annual Conference, Thursday 17th and Friday 18th November 2011, London venue to be confirmed www.chart.ac.uk Utopian hopes for the ubiquity of digital and networked technologies leading to a more transparent and democratic society are being met by expressions of concern about their implications for art. Nicholas Bourriaud has observed that such technologies can bring about a “collective desire to create new areas of conviviality and introduce new types of transaction with regard to the cultural objectâ€. However, others perceive an imminent threat, characterised by such terms as a digital 'deluge' or 'oblivion’. CHArt is interested to examine critically both positive views and apocalyptic concerns about the implications of the widespread merger of telecommunications and computer technology in society for art, its history and practice. We are looking for papers that engage with issues including, but not limited to: The implications of the ubiquity of digital and network technologies for evaluating what constitutes an original work of art and the originality of its creator(s). What effects have these technologies had on valuing art in terms of its aesthetic quality? What impact have real-time technologies had for the creation, ownership and distribution of culture? What are the impacts of the widespread proliferation and use of such technologies on curatorial practice and the processes of selecting, preserving and enabling access to art? How have they affected both the content and methods of teaching the history and practice of art? Are other disciplines and areas of society affected by art mediated by real- time technologies? How? We are particularly interested in work that engages with such questions and extends beyond simply understanding digital and network technologies as transparent conduits of data and information. CHArt encourages proposals addressing complex artefacts that, in Friedrich Kittler's words, “determine our situationâ€. Contributions are welcomed from all sections of the CHArt community on the intersection between art and art history and semantic web developments; cloud computing; data mining; screen scraping; crowd sourcing; mashups; and freely available sites that enable data and images to be stored and accessed. CHArt seeks papers from art historians, artists, architects and architectural theorists and historians, curators, conservators, computing scientists, scientists, cultural and media theorists, archivists, technologists, educationalists and philosophers. Postgraduate students are encouraged to submit a proposal. CHArt is able to offer assistance with the conference fees for up to three student delegates. Priority will be given to students whose papers are accepted for presentation. An application form and proof of university enrolment will be required. For further details about the Helene Roberts Bursary please emailanna. bentkowska@kcl.ac.uk. Submissions should be in the form of a 300-400 word synopsis of the proposed paper with brief biographical information (no more than 200 words) of presenter/s, and should be emailed to chart@kcl.ac.uk by July 1st 2011. Notification of paper acceptance: 1 September 2011 Submission of papers: 17 October 2011
