Held in conjunction with the 2010 01SJ Biennial, 16-19 September 2010<br />
<br />
What does it sound like when influential environmental policy-makers, thinkers, scientists and artists converse in real and exploratory ways? Leonardo/ISAST, along with ZER01 and our other partners, invites you and your colleagues to join us for GLOBAL WARNING: Artists, Scientists and Environmental Activism, San Jose, CA, September 16 & 17, 2010 — a two-day symposium focused on the interchange of ideas among diverse disciplines. A group of distinguished practitioners will examine the interconnectedness of ideas and actions and the current relationships between art-making, science and ecology. Public policy, urban planning, sustainable design and civic cultural development strategies serve as platforms for stimulating community dialogue. <br />
<br />
The GLOBAL WARNING symposium features keynote speakers Kathleen Dean Moore (Day 1, Sept 16: “Why It’s Wrong to Wreck the Earth”) and Buster Simpson (Day 2, Sept 17: “Poetic Utility”), along with a provocative group of scientists, artists, researchers and theorists dedicated to identifying and addressing the key environmental issues of our day. Join us for this unique opportunity to participate in thinking about and creating what we want our world to be. <br />

II. After my visit to the New Museum, I headed uptown to the Studio Museum in Harlem. What stood out to me at the Studio Museum were a series of sculptural, photographic, and video works by Lauren Kelley, one of the museum’s 2009-2010 artists-in-residence. The photographic/sculptural works reminded me of works by Mike Kelley and (after Kelley) Catherine [...]

Vague Terrain ( http://vagueterrain.net ) has recently entered its fifth year of showcasing progressive, idiosyncratic digital art practices. Our growth is due in large part to the contributions of guest curators who have shared their expertise and energy with us, including Joshua Noble, Kim Cascone, Paul Prudence, Rob Cruickshank, CONT3XT.NET, Carrie Gates and David McCallum. We would like to continue to collaborate with members of the digital art community, and are inviting proposals from interested artists or curators to work with us on future issues of Vague Terrain.<br />
<br />
Journal Format: The best way to get a sense of our project is to browse the archives. Each issue is a mix of essays, interviews, in-depth documentation of multimedia projects, broader surveys of art practices and EP-length audio art and experimental music releases. We aren’t locked to a specific formula and have featured issues almost entirely dedicated to article-length essays or music. Each issue should feature 8-15 contributors.<br />
<br />
Schedule: We are looking for guest curators for issues to be published in January 2011 and onward. A curator will need about 90 days of lead time to organize an issue and establishing communication with the invited artists at the beginning of the process is one of the most involved tasks. The guest curator will work with the Vague Terrain team to set up a timeline for participating artists to follow.<br />
<br />
Responsibilities – A guest curator is responsible for the following:<br />
<br />
*Writing an initial statement and using it to invite artists to participate in the issue<br />
Ensuring that participating artists understand our submission guidelines (we provide documentation)<br />
*Ensuring that incoming submissions are approximately on schedule and complete<br />
*Writing a forward to frame the issue theme and contextualize included work<br />
<br />
Support – Vague Terrain offers the following assistance with the above duties of the curator:<br />
<br />
*Provide documentation regarding submission guidelines<br />
*Arrange for the proofreading and editing of content<br />
*Organizing and publishing all the content that the curator has solicited<br />
*An FTP account for the issue through which contributors can upload their work <br />
*Once the issue is launched we will promote the material through various online art/media networks<br />
<br />
Interested curators and digital artists should email us with the following:<br />
<br />
*a brief abstract describing their proposed theme and how it relates to their research<br />
*An artistic or scholarly CV or a link to a personal website<br />
*Optional: a list of artists whose work would be representative of the proposed topic<br />
<br />
Deadline: This is an open, ongoing call. However curators interested in the January slot should contact us ASAP as we’ll be selecting the curator for that issue in early September.<br />
<br />
Submissions and inquires should be sent to submit@vagueterrain.net<img src="http://rhizome.org/syndicate/nothing.gif?f=announce" border="0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rhizome-announce/~4/wWxGa4o2R0A" height="1" width="1"/>

The most sensational aspect of the attribution of paintings as far as the general public is concerned is the subject of fakes, despite the fact that few art historians ever encounter them. What, exactly, is a fake? A painting that appears to be something other than what it is? Not always. Traditional academic training involved [...]

We have a penchant for cladding, disguising, draping, varnishing and covering up – the crooked wall, the aging face, the leaking oil rig, the dented bodywork. We have a penchant for fixing the world around us to hide the way it came about, the way it evolved or the way it works, so that it can just sit before us to be appreciated and admired like a perfect, glistening box.

ALBUM/TRACKS B may refer to a photo album which, empty at first, tells a “(hi)story” only once it is filled with pictures, a story to look at, read, and interpret from ever new points of view. The work of Ana Torfs (born in 1963, lives in Brussels) could also be understood as a tribute to certain personalities and events from history, literature, and film whose tracks— hence the title—and traces the artist pursues and endows with new life. Thus
