Thursday Club Open Call for Projects & Proposals (due Aug 4) The Thursday Club is an open forum discussion group for anyone interestedin the theories and practices of cross-disciplinarity, interactivity, technologies and philosophies of the state-of-the-art in today’s (and tomorrow’s) cultural landscape(s). The Club is supported by the Goldsmiths Digital Studios (GDS) and the Goldsmiths Graduate School. Originally set up in October 2005 by GDS as a more informal setting for research discussions, it has grown to include 193 members: artists, technologists, scientists – in fact, a growing diversity of people from different communities worldwide, that are connected via a mailing list and online forum. Most importantly, there are regular meetings in ‘real' space at the Ben Pimlott site of Goldsmiths, University of London. Anyone can attend these events. By keeping these meetings free, informal and open to all, we provide a platform for diverse and open ended discourse, for people who perhaps would not have the opportunity to discuss ideas outside of their chosen discipline. The Thursday Club brings together people from diverse fields and degrees of expertise, aiming to initiate discussion and debates among postgraduate students, researchers, academics, artists, theorists, and other cultural practitioners. Since it focuses on interdisciplinary practices, the Club is interested to experiment with innovative formats of presentation that are appropriate to the nature of the subject. We particularly welcome the proposal of round table discussions, panels, screenings, 'hearings', live gigs and performance lectures. We are also interested to platform experimental work-in-progress of both practical and theoretical nature. Submission Materials 1. A Title and 300 word abstract of your proposal 2. A 1,000 word proposal that will substantiate your abstract as well as include information regarding issues of methodologies and format of presentation; also, this should explain why you think that the Thursday Club is an appropriate forum for the presentation of your work. 2. A 200 word biog 3. Your contact details: name, address, email, telephone number 4. Any relevant links to your work 5. A jpg of your work (if relevant) Please send any submissions by email to Prof. Janis Jefferies <j.jefferies@gold.ac.uk> and Patrick Tresset <ma701pt@gold.ac.uk> writing 'Thursday Club Submission' as a Subject. The deadline for the submission of proposals is 10AM, ON MONDAY 4 AUGUST The submissions will be reviewed by the Thursday Club Board.

Artists working in live art, contemporary performance, time-based media and interdisciplinary arts are invited to submit proposals of short pieces of work, works in progress or extracts of longer works for inclusion in this event.
Emergency is:
Proposals should be for pieces with some live presence, 20 minutes maximum for show-type work, technically simple and adaptable to quick turnarounds. Intervention-based works in and around greenroom are also strongly encouraged. Selection will be by Garfield Allen of greenroom and Tamsin Drury of hÅb. Priorities are for high quality and exciting live art/contemporary performance work by North West based artists, which has not been seen in Manchester before. Proposals from non-North West based artists will be considered particularly if they are for interventions and/or for Workspace and Open Space, but due to high demand may not be successful in being included in the Performance Space programme. The focus of the event is on non-linear performative work from a cross-artform background. We therefore advise that work that is primarily from a theatre, poetry, music or dance base would be better served by proposing to a different context. We are now open for submissions. For full information and application forms are available for download from: www.greenroomarts.org/emergency Deadline for proposals: Friday 8 August 2008. 49.

Crossbreeds Platform 09, Jan 2009, Austria (due Aug 20) CALL FOR PROJECTS/WORKS CROSSBREEDS is a platform for artistic positions “in between”. CROSSBREEDS 09 is looking for transdisciplinary artistic works which interface dance/performance with other art forms and especially new media. Works/projects can be entered in the categories dance/performance; (short) film/video/animation; and installation or ways of creative expression which do not fit in any of the other categories. • Dance/performance: we are looking for projects, which formulate medial interface work as a co-operative aspect of their conception and working process. A selection of the entries will be programmed for January 2009. The programme will offer insights into artistic hybrids in different spaces of the WUK area, and discuss artistic contents and issues of medial transdisciplinarity in various discursive formats. NB: In the category dance/performance, only works of Austrian based artists can be taken into consideration; in the categories (short) film/video/animation and installation, international works are accepted, too. CROSSBREEDS 09 is realized by Im_flieger in co-operation with Andrew Mitchelson t: +44 (0)20 7033 0275 lois@thisisLiveArt.co.uk www.thisisLiveArt.co.uk 51. Call for Participation in an Online Action Cookbook (no date) Dear Friend, We are preparing a publication we believe you might be interested in. The publication consists in a collection of instructions for actions and performances (understood in the widest sense of the term) which can be physically executed and which must have an edible product as a result. Our idea is to create a full-blown action cookbook, to be published and distributed over the 'net'. This implies that said 'instructions' (edible action recipes) be designed so as to be repeated and interpreted by other people, in other places, with no need for explicit permissions, while always bearing in mind the ethical use of the results of creative labour, something inseparable from work and form this publication. We understand this publication as a collective endeavour, with no retribution, and we do not expect to make any profits from this product. The sales profits will be destined to cover the printing costs - although we might consider applying for a grant in order to fund its production and public presentation. This call has been sent out to over 100 artists from the performance and live art field. On the other hand, we will work towards making the full publication available online in the shortest time possible. The publication will be covered by a copyleft licence. You can find out more about copyleft at http://fundacioncopyleft.org. In order to guarantee the homogeneity of the project, we attach a model form with the necessary fields and details on the piece as well as a list of specific requirements. We would like to complete the selection of content for the publication by mid-September. So, we are expecting your exquisite proposals, and we remain at your disposal for any doubts, as well as comments or other contributions you might have, which are always welcome. François Winberg, Pepe Murciego and Nieves Correa. Specific Requirements: 1). The action-recipe must have a maximum extension of 2100 characters (should you require a longer extension, we will look into the possibilities, depending on the interest and specific needs of your proposed recipe). 2). The action must be clearly doable and the result must be edible. In order to expand the expressive possibilities of the idea, we would not shy from including an appendix dedicated to pieces which adopt the form of a recommendation, a piece of advice, utility, terminology, presentation, explanatory diagram, etc. 3). It is recommended that you include details on how to expand the real possibility of realising the performance piece; either advice on how to locate a specific product, a tool, a recommendation, etc. 4). In the case of sending a number of performance recipes, we will look into the possibility of including as many as possible, while bearing in mind the specific requirements of the publication. We have faith in your good criteria when interpreting these requirements. Important details to include with the proposed action instructions: • Title of the work / Name of the resulting dish (if available).
