The period for which candidates can apply is September 7, 2009 – July 2, 2010. [The closing date for submissions is December 5, 2008 (postmark)] ----------------------------------------- [Institution] Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen is a post-graduate center for production, research, exchange in the fields of visual arts and art theory. Within the framework of the International Fellowship Programme for Visual Arts and Theory, the Kunstlerhaus provides a platform that facilitates the development and production of artistic and art-theoretical projects in a critical context. At the same time, Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen offers a forum for direct exchange between professionals – artists, theoreticians, critics, and curators – from the region and abroad, as well as a point of interaction with local interested audiences. Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen is affiliated with the Tyrolean Artists' Association, the major association of visual artists from the region. Buchsenhausen brings together two programmes under one roof. On the one hand, it is the site of the International Fellowship Programme for Visual Arts and Theory. On the other hand, it is the location of several studios for artists based in Tyrol, who require space for working in a professionally interesting environment. The building - the eastern wing of the Buchsenhausen Castle, built in the middle of the 17th century and situated not far from the center of the city of Innsbruck - houses nine studios and a project space. Three apartment studios are used by the fellows of the International Fellowship Programme for Visual Arts and Theory. Six studios are available to artists based in Tyrol. The project and presentation space is equipped with multimedia facilities and is at the fellows' disposal. The space was designed by Atelier van Lieshout. ----------------------------------------- [International Fellowship Programme] With its Fellowship Programme for Visual Arts and Theory, Buchsenhausen actively promotes internationally relevant art production, research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol. The programme's aims are: * To improve the production of a qualified discourse on art and society in the local and global context; * To improve exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts); * To support and expand the critical, socially relevant artistic and art-theoretical production of knowledge; * To facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the art field and the public outside the art context. The programme brings together the advantages of a residency with the possibilities of a postgraduate non-university lectureship, without offering a formalized educational programme. In terms of content, the programme addresses a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory and criticism. The fellows, selected by expert jurors, find excellent working conditions in Buchsenhausen, while the city of Innsbruck and its surrounding area offer an interesting setting in terms of its art, culture, and landscape. The grant and the residency not only allow fellows to work on their proposed projects, but also give them the chance to experiment and to reconsider their current practice. The conveyance and discussion of the fellow’s own work occurs parallel to the development of the individual projects. The public events take place in series. The focus of these series of events is determined by the respective emphases of the various fellows' works. Within the framework of this discursive format, the fellows (or their guests) can present various points in their research, open up their works-in-progress to critical discussion, interact with experts who they invite, work through content with the public, and/or try out new ways of working. For former and current fellows and their projects please visit http://buchsenhausen.at. ----------------------------------------- [Fellowship] * a grant of EUR 650/month to cover living expenses; * an individual studio for working and living, furnished with a large shared kitchen; * a production budget for the realization of the proposed project; * the possibility of inviting experts to Buchsenhausen in order to have a professional exchange; * the opportunity of an exhibition at the end of the fellowship in Buchsenhausen or at the Kunstpavillon in Innsbruck. ----------------------------------------- [Facilities] * free access to the 'labor', the project/gallery space; * free use of the available multimedia production equipment in the 'labor'; * free DSL/WLAN internet access; * professional artistic advice from the general advisors (2 terms / year); * technical advice if required. ----------------------------------------- [Eligibility] Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship. ----------------------------------------- [Requirements] The candidates must submit a project proposal. Work on the submitted project forms the core of each fellow's activities during his/her stay in Buchsenhausen. A description of a series of public events intended to accompany the individual work during the duration of the fellowship (four to six events) is also an integral part of the project proposal. If the application is successful, the fellows are required to specify the details of the presentation series and carry out the proposed programme. The fellows must be present in Buchsenhausen for a minimum of two thirds of the allocated fellowship time. Working knowledge of English is required. ----------------------------------------- [Selection] The selection of fellows is made by a jury of experts and based on the quality and relevance of the project proposal and the work samples submitted by the applicants. The jury includes the director of Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen, a member of the board of the 'Tyrolean Artists' Association' and one external expert. The members of the jury also fulfill the role of advisors who can be consulted for their expertise at least two times during the fellowship. Jury 2009/10: Stephan Dillemuth, Annja Krautgasser, Andrei Siclodi The selection procedure occurs in two stages. In the first stage, the submitted applications are evaluated and the jury makes a shortlist of candidates who will be invited to Buchsenhausen for personal interviews. The personal interview with the jury forms the second stage. For the interview, the applicants have to come to Innsbruck to personally present their working plans and aims during the fellowship. Buchsenhausen will pay for accommodation in Innsbruck for one night, but cannot cover the costs for travel to Innsbruck. There is no legal right to be awarded a fellowship at Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen. The jury is therefore under no obligation to justify decisions. The jury's decision will be communicated in written form in January 2009 (first stage) and March 2009 (second stage). ----------------------------------------- [Application procedure] Applications must include the following documents: * the project proposal (max 2,000 words, in English or in German, 3 copies) * a visual portfolio/documentation of recent works (artists: max 2 catalogues, max 10 photos or slides, 1 DVD or 1 CD-ROM; theorists/art critics: max 3 recent writing samples) * a curriculum vitae (3 copies) * a completed application form Download the application form at

Each poster describes the historical significance of that location in the form of a rhyme, and invites people walking by to join in a rhyming battle by txt-ing their own rhyme from their mobile phone. The website bronxrhymes.org displays the artists and locations along with all the submitted rhymes elevating the most recent submission. Eventually, visitors to the website will be able to rate existing rhymes, and add their own. "Bronx Rhymes" is a 2008 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation. BIOGRAPHIES Claudia Bernett is an artist and designer living and working in New York City. Since receiving her MFA from Parsons School of Design in 2000, she has been creating work that operates at the intersection of the digital and physical realms, and explores cognitive responses to human-computer interaction. She also works as an interaction designer in the Mobile and Emerging Platforms group at R/GA where she leads the user interface development on a wide variety of digital tools, toys, and experiences. Maria Ioveva is an interaction designer and motion graphics artist. Her interest in urban narratives has led her to the creation of "after-images" of the city - animated dreamscapes in which past, present and fantasy intertwine. In her projects she has reimagined classic New York silhouettes such as the Brooklyn water-towers and the abandoned High Line rail line. She received an MFA degree from Parsons School of Design in 2005, and currently works as an Interaction Designer at R/GA for the Nike+ account.

Countless events of varying and often questionable significance emerge as scrolling columns of headline news and then quickly fade into the soon-forgotten annals of our time. Within this saturated datascape of history, there are singular defining moments that rise above the ubiquitous monotony of the everyday. These events shape the consciousness of individuals and nations alike by transcending their epoch, and are indelibly situated within greater historical overviews that inform the perceptions of both present and future generations. In an era of unjust wars and monumental acts of terror, some of these events have eroded our most precious institutions and sustained fear within all strata of society, while others have instilled within us hope and offered us a means to reconcile our past transgressions. "Reflection (hope and reconciliation)" re-mediates one such moment. Through the distillation of its aesthetic elements - images, words, voice, music - we experience the event with changed, but undiminished intensity. BIOGRAPHY Michael Takeo Magruder is an American artist based in the UK working with new and technological media within contemporary arts practice. He is a long-standing member of King's Visualisation Lab located in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London. His artworks have been showcased in over 200 exhibitions and 30 countries. His work blends information age technologies with modernist-like aesthetics to explore the formal structures and conceptual paradigms of the networked, digital world. He seeks to create artworks in which there are no divisions between technologies, aesthetics, and concepts.

Please read on for details: Beyond Europe: The Parametric Tradition by Mark Betz Date: 27th November, 2008 Venue: Seminar Room, CSDS Time: 3:00 pm Although “art cinema” is no longer a category with institutional currency that is deployed to describe a coherent body of contemporary film practice—“world cinema” is now the term of choice, albeit one with a more encompassing range of stylistic possibilities—challenging films continue to be made and celebrated on the international stage, particularly through film festival premieres, screenings, and awards. And while art cinema can also refer to many types of films and film aesthetics, the high water mark of it in its most “difficult” formal guise is arguably parametric narration, David Bordwell’s term (via Noël Burch) to describe a mode of filmmaking that emphasizes style at least equally as much as narration, often more so. Whether aligned with the transcendental (Ozu, Dreyer, Bresson), serialism (Resnais, Bresson again, Godard on occasion, Akerman), or long takes, often combined with camera movement (Jancso, Antonioni, Tarkovsky, Angelopolous), a special place has been reserved for parametric filmmaking from the 1950s through 1970s among art film cognoscenti. But in the near quarter century since Bordwell's formal analysis of this style, little has been made of the shared aesthetics of contemporary parametric filmmakers practicing usually outside of Western Europe, such as Aleksandr Sokurov, Béla Tarr, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Tsai Ming-liang, Jia Zhangke, Bruno Dumont, Jafar Panahi, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Might these aesthetics constitute one strand of an “international style” for contemporary world cinema, indeed contemporary art cinema? To what degree is this international style recognised and promoted via the international film festival circuit—less visibly and concretely articulated than Dogme95, for example, but perhaps equally programmatically? What is the relation of the global to the local in this style? And in what ways do these aesthetics complicate received wisdom concerning the end of modernism in the postmodern era? Mark Betz is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the School of Humanities, King’s College, London. He earned his PhD in Film Studies from the University of Rochester in1999. His research interests include Post-World War II European cinema (especially art cinema), non-Western and alternative cinemas (especially Third cinema and Southeast Asian cinema), national cinemas and transnationalism, exploitation cinemas, film theory and historiography, the history of film studies, the archive. Some of his publications are *“Co-productions,” in the Schirmer Encyclopedia of Film, Volume 1, ed.

The screenings at Delhi University and Jamia Millia Islamia end on 28 Nov. *DIEFF Schedule for Sunday, **30 November 2008** * *Venue*: Alliance Francaise, Lodi Estate, Sunday, 30 Nov *Time*: 11:00 AM to 8:15 PM For More information: http://sociology.du.ac.in/dieff/ or search the web for -- DIEFF *Photowallahs* at 11:00 am / Alliance Francaise / Lodi Estate *Dir: *David and Judith MacDougall / *60 min / dirs. present* *Photo Wallahs* is a film about the varied meanings of photography. It is set in Mussoorie, a famous hill station in northern India, that has attracted tourists since the 19th century. In this setting photography has thrived. Without spoken commentary, the film discovers its subject in the streets, bazaars, shops, photographic studios and private homes of Mussoorie. In the process it compares the diverse work and attitudes of the local photographers-Mussoorie's "photo wallahs." Although photography has developed certain culturally distinctive features in India, its many forms and uses there tell us much about the nature and significance of photography throughout the world. *The Lunch Box* at 12:15 /Alliance Francaise / Lodi Estate *Dir:* Floriane Devigne / 52 min / Belgium Show me your lunch box and I shall tell you where you come from! It is this ordinary, functional object that is at the core of a surprising and entertaining investigation of Belgium and its people. With humour and naive amazement, serious research and intuition, Floriane Devigne, in her first film, embarks on a journey to try and understand her country, brandishing the lunch box as a link to hold together this diverse community. With a light touch she reveals a plethora of insights in the humble receptacle: Marxist theories, Joris Iven's *Borinage* film on Belgian miners, French-Wallonese-Flemish differences, slag heaps and parks, malnutrition and child poverty, immigration, linguistic and cultural boundaries. She cuddles and destroys the box, builds statistic towers with it, drives it around and looks deep into its etymology. And casually she also pokes fun at her own obsession with the object. A film inside a lunch box. * * *Conversations with Jean Rouch* at 2:00 pm / Alliance Francaise / LodiEstate *Dir: *Ann McIntosh / 40 min / France, Italy, USA This intimate, revealing video of conversations between Jean Rouch and a number of filmmakers and friends, including John Marshall and Colin Young, was shot between 1978 and 1980 by Ann McIntosh, who taught video under Ricky Leacock at MIT. McIntosh gained Rouch's trust while shooting informal cinéma vérité scenes of him at various locations: film seminars in New England (USA), Chateau Thierry in France (the WWII period for Jean), Monaco (where his father worked and died), Marcilly (the family homestead), Italy (at his vacation house with his first wife Jane), as well as to graduate seminars at the Sorbonne and the Cinémathèque Française. The video provides fascinating insights about Rouch as he discusses his methodology with students and colleagues, revealing the man at his most tender and most serious. Jean 's extraordinary wisdom and sense of humor permeates McIntosh's work. * * *L.A.P.A*. at 3:00 pm / Alliance Francaise / Lodi Estate *Dir:* Emílio Domingos e Cavi Borges / *75 min / **Brazil* The traditionally bohemian Lapa neighborhood (Rio de Janeiro), a place formerly frequented by samba players, has also been a meeting point for rappers during the 1990s. * * *Strange Homeland* at 4:30 pm / Alliance Francaise / Lodi Estate *Dir:* Jens Schanze / 81 min /* *Germany Otzenrath, a little 700 year old village near Cologne, is the first among 13 other villages that have been resettled due to "Garzweiler II", Europe's largest open-cast lignite pit. Despite the harmful effects of carbon dioxide, the exploitation of lignite for the production of electric power will continue at least until the middle of the 21st century. In Germany alone 25 plants to electrify coal are planned or currently under construction. Worldwide, more than 1000 coal plants will go into service by 2012. The 2600 inhabitants of Otzenrath started their collective resettlement in 2000. The film documents the impact of the gigantic industrial lignite project on the lives of people in a country that – like any other industrialized nation – is addicted to electric power in order to maintain the living standard of its people. * * *Confluence - Emerillon of **French Guiana** *at 6:15 pm / AllianceFrancaise / Lodi Estate *Dir:* Perle Mohl / 78* *min / Denmark, France Like self-fulfilling omens, scientific reports have hitherto depicted the * Emerillon* of French Guiana as cultureless and doomed to disappear. With this film, a Danish anthropologist proposes to defy the negative images, simultaneously delving into their world and giving a vivid description of the down-to-earth, capricious and inter-subjective conditions of anthropological fieldwork and knowledge-creation. Several *Emerillon*take up the proposition, and through their resourceful and often stumbling efforts to maintain a life in the forest while profiting from their French citizenship, they present another version of what being *Emerillon* is all about. We follow them through communal fishing trips, forest foraging, artistic creativity, French schooling and municipal elections, discovering how they face the day with humour, manage to bridge the gaps and make their lives whole. Thus emerges a rare, profoundly generous and non-ethnocentric discourse, one that asserts that to feel *Emerillon* does not necessarily imply feeling fundamentally different from others. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Please DO NOT REPLY to the sender.

Click the link to join this effort:http:/ www.avaaz.org/en/india_undivided/96.php/?CLICK_TF_TRACK** * * *The whole world is reeling from the shock of the attacks in Mumbai.*These attacks were aimed at our people, our prosperity and our peace. But their top target was something else: our unity. *If these attacks cause us to turn on each other in hatred and conflict, the terrorists will have won.* They know that hatred and chaos feeds on division. They also know that as radical extremists, their only hope of disrupting society as a whole is turning the rest of us against each other. *Let's deny them that victory. We're launching a message to extremists on all sides*, and our fellow citizens, one that will soon be published in newspapers across India and Pakistan. *The message is that these tactics aren't working and we are more united than ever.* And we are determined to work together to stop violent extremism, and call our political and religous leader to so the same. *If millions of people sign it, our message will be unmistakable.* * * *THE PLEDGE:* *We citizens of India, and countries around the world, from all faiths, backgrounds and walks of life, declare with one voice that the terrorist attacks in Mumbai have not divided us, will not divide us, and that we stand together, as one people, against all violent extremists who shamefully target the innocent. We call upon all our political and religious leaders to come together at this moment, and take effective action to prevent the spread of violence.** * thanks -- Srikant srikantdelhi at gmail.com Srikant.Singh at naturefirst.in +91 - 9810508628 +91 - 9310631611 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
