Today is the last day to submit a paragraph-long proposal for Groundswell’s print publication. This first edition is themed around the concept of crisis folklore, and is slated for release in January, 2010.
Already keen on what to submit? Drop us a line!
The very smart people over at IssueLab are holding a Research Remix contest, asking for video contributions of under three minutes based on research available through their networks, aiming to highlight the ease of use, flexibility, and potential impact of open licensing.
Contestants will be asked to remix facts or data from one of over 300 openly licensed research reports on IssueLab into a video or animation under three minutes in length. Winners will be selected after the December 31, 2009 deadline, and nonprofits will be able to use all submitted videos freely to support their causes. . . . IssueLab’s Co-Director Gabriela Fitz explained, “it is especially important that nonprofits consider openly licensing their research and resources. By giving people the ability to re-use, remix, and share research on social issues we can much better inform and engage public debate and public policy”.
All video entries must include facts or data from at least one Creative Commons licensed listing in the IssueLab archive, and address the social issue covered in the report. All video submissions must be licensed using a Creative Commons “Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0″ license.
Read the full Call for Entries here, and send in videos before December 31.
Interesting CFW from D21 in Leipzig, Germany for the artistic self-publishing set:
We are currently preparing an exhibition focusing on zines by artists that is going to take place in our art space in Leipzig in May 2010. Therefore we have started an open call for submissions. After the show, the zines will be archived and shown in the arts library of Halle 14, another non-profit arts oganisation here in Leipzig.
Find out more here.
Artandwork.us is now up and running, hosting the much discussed newspaper from Temporary Services and SPACES, Art Work: A National Conversation About Art, Labor, and Economics.
Download a free version copy of Art Work to read, print and host an exhibition, discussion or reading group. There are various PDF versions for download as well as an e-book.
The hard copies can be requested through Half Letter Press, and will also be syndicated through Groundswell’s forthcoming online store.
Congrats to our friends on an amazing piece of work!
Here in Chicago we celebrated the final InCUBATE Sunday Soup last night, and the group’s list of soup-related projects that have sprung up in the two and a half years since the first Sunday Soup is worth checking out.
The art administration collective will vacate the Logan Square space following one more residency in December. InCUBATE (Institute for Community Understanding Between Art and the Everyday) situates its interests in the vague realm that overlaps art, activism, play, and academia: Their space quickly became one of the few in the city where, if you did work like this too, your most ridiculous ideas were likely to be met with technical questions or pure enthusiasm instead of the more typical, but what do you call it?
As such, it will be missed. But soup-and-funding projects will continue, and in eager anticipation I repost the recipe for Savry’s Cambodian Papaya Soup (above) from Camb(l)o(g)dia.
1 ripe papaya
4-6 cloves garlic
1 small onion
green onion
batch cilantro
lime
olive oil
water or chicken stock
rice
Chop garlic, but not too fine, and fry in oil until golden brown. Add chopped onion before done and fry until transparent. Add water or chicken broth—broth should be very clear, very light. Chop papayas into thick chunks and bring to a boil until soft. Add chopped green onion and cilantro and serve with freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve this, and everything else you ever eat, with rice.
