If artBasel is the "Olympics of the Art World," then
artMarket_mini is its flea circus. artMarket_mini is a
collaborative effort addressing consumerism and the
exclusivity of art fairs, and how such venues have
become the dominant platform of the art world.
artMarket_mini puts the fair into the hands of artists
instead of galleries and collectors, letting each
artist design a booth and participate not just in an
art fair, but a work of art. Artists, designers, and
architects are encouraged to submit proposals for
their own personal booth in any medium.
The deadline for submissions is 15 July 2005 and work
must be ready to install by 23 August 2005. For
complete information, please visit

expression forms of the digital formats. At the same time a unique forum for
more and more extensive cross-media and innovative projects has been
established going beyond established generic boundaries.
A renowned international jury selects from the submissions the winners of

CATEGORIES
----------------
IMAGINATION
is open to works and projects dealing with traditional and future forms of
the moving image.
Possible submissions include analogue and digital films/videos, experimental
films (including sound/video), 2D and 3D animations, extended forms of
traditional cinema, linear and non-linear narrative image sequences, mobile
and innovative screen formats, split- and/or multiple-screen arrangements.
They may be complemented by modes of individual and collective interaction
if wished.
PROCESSING
is open to works and projects that are characterised by processes and live
elements.
Installations or systems can be submitted that are devised to involve a
local situation and/or an audience actively, thus emphasising the ability to
interact and improvise when handling digital information systems. This
includes performances, immersive and hybrid (real/virtual) environments,
'play- and social software' applications, 'smart objects', intelligent and
ambient systems as well as interface and interaction design.
TRANSPOSITION
is open to works and projects emphasising acting and communicating within
technologically defined networks.
Applications, prototypes and concepts can be submitted that use or
specifically apply network architecture that functions independently of time
and place. This includes for example location-related and distributed
systems (LAN/WAN/WIFI etc.), mobile computing, UMTS and GPS applications,
infra-red and Bluetooth connections. The key feature in each case is an
unusual and/or experimental use of technologically defined network
topographies.
VIPER is looking forward to receiving exciting, ambitious and innovative
works and projects!

OPEN CALL (http://adelheidmers.org/3arts/opencall.htm)
Exhibition working title: "Early Adopters"
location: The Three Arts Club, Chicago, USA
dates: doors open September 15, 2005
reception: October 6, 2005
closing (with potential reception): October 27, 2005
1. Call for essays and other text contributions we can post, and other web based contributions we can link to, from artists and theorists who reside in cities worldwide, to contribute "reports on art audiences" from their locations.
2. We are also seeking laminated "poster presentations" from local artists or from others who don't mind to mail them to Chicago, 24"x18" (appr. 60cm x 45cm) to be displayed on long shelves along two gallery walls, for viewers to handle and/or for contributors who can be present at the gallery to talk about.
Project Description: For this exhibition during "Chicago Artist Month 2005", artists are asked to look back at their viewers. They are asked to show how they envision their local lay, amateur or connoisseur community to make use of and support them, to assess the immediate field they need to communicate within. Specifically, I am asking to investigate how citizens support or are desired to support visual art: as viewer, collector, sponsor, discussant, newspaper reader, volunteer, board member, co-creator,etc. I am envisioning work that deals with these subjects explicitly, for an exhibition that will have aspects of a symposium or lecture series, addressing (supporting, defying, expanding) the thesis that urbanites are more diverse, adventurous, daring and playful than their more conservative, rural, small town, suburban or exurban counterparts, but also need to be made more aware of the crucial role they play in sustaining the art community whose products and productions t hey enjoy. This question is primarily inspired by the urban/rural split in the US election maps. For examples, see: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/
Would there be similar distributions in art audience maps?
In addition to the call for national and international reports and for posters, three artists who use diagramming as part of their current strategies have been invited to create more extensive works. I will contribute a map of the concept of this show, and four administrators/theorists have been invited to consider talks, discussions or lectures. This is a project by Adelheid Mers, on the invitation of gallery director Annie Morse.
Please contact me by email if you are interested in contributing, or can put me in touch with additional "correspondents" from other cities.
We are currently planning to report on this show at a symposium on artistic inquiry in Canada, in November.
I have set up a message board to help prepare for the show at http://adelheidmers.org/3/
very best regards,
Adelheid
