16.01.01 'Manuscript Exhibition 3' seeks entries

Manuscript Exhibition 3 will be exhibited in Johannesburg in September this year and subject to funding, will be launched at the Grahamstown Festival in July. I shall also apply for funding to produce a catalogue of the exhibition which is why work will need to be submitted well before the exhibition.

For the purposes of this show, manuscripts include the following: a solo or a collective effort; a journal, notes & graphics which either document, add to or run parallel to your life; a combination of a fetish and the ordering of things; an unpublished volume of poetry, collection of short stories, novel, documentary; a thesis or other research notes; any other gatherings in pictorial form or otherwise.

There have been two annual Manuscript exhibitions so far. The third will take place this year and subject to funding, will be launched at the Grahamstown Festival in July. The exhibitions have been at Carfax, 1999 and Boekehuis (House of Books) in 2000, in Johannesburg and have travelled to a number of other venues, including the Tatham Gallery, Pietermaritzburg (1999), the NSA (Durban) (1999), Centre for the Book, Cape Town (funded by the Arts and Culture Trust of the President) (2000) and is due at the National Museum in Bloemfontein (February, 2001).

There are catalogues available (the second was funded by the NAC) which record the exhibitions in which most of the text has been drawn directly from writing provided by the exhibitors themselves. Visuals are, more often than not, details of manuscripts scanned directly from the works.

Artists who have exhibited to date include Willem Boshoff, Wilma Cruise, Stephan Erasmus, Sasha Fabris, Karin Lijnes & Rossinah Maepa, Alistair Mclachlan, Robyn Sassen, and Jenny Stadler.

If you wish to apply for participation in Manuscript Exhibition 3, please e-mail: artstudio@artslink.co.za or write to: Art Studio, Postnet Suite 136, Private Bag X2600, Houghton, 2041.

Deadline for submissions: 1st April 2001
Deadline for submission for selection: 30 April 2001


09.01.01 Sciencentre and Photography

The new MTN Sciencentre at Century City is the first interactive Science Centre in the country. The Sciencentre is interested in expanding its involvement with photography as it is such a usefully multi-faceted educational medium. They have built a magnificent Camera Obscura on the roof of the Centre and they want to build more imaging-related projects around this facility.

The Sciencentre was launched to provide learners with a host of hands-on science related experiments and facilities. Their primary sponsors are Canon SA and MTN.

In the week before Christmas I was invited to meet with Mike Bruton and Jon Weinberg of the Sciencentre to explore potential links and joint projects between the Centre for Photography and the Sciencentre as we share a number of common goals. Among the obvious areas of commonality are pinhole projects for groups of learners who visit the Sciencentre. The Centre for Photography's pinhole initiative is run on an ad hoc basis and it would be great if we could somehow combine our dream of a travelling Pinhole bus (F non-stop) with their wish for regular pinhole classes at the Sciencentre. Perhaps our bus does not become a mobile darkroom, but simply the means of transporting groups of learners to the Sciencentre on a daily basis.

There is a huge exhibition area at the Sciencentre which could be used to show photographic exhibitions on a regular basis. This would be a superb venue for anything from microscopy to botanical and zoological exhibitions but could easily accommodate any "regular" exhibitions as well. With so many people passing through Century City daily, it would also be a great exhibition venue for photography during the next Cape Town Month of Photography in Feb/ March 2002.

The potential benefits for the photographic community would be huge. We would have a very high profile, well funded, education-based partner through which we could promote photography in all its useful and creative applications to young South Africans. Local photographers and photography students could act as guides and demonstrators; various photographic collectives such as the PPSA could have regular shows there together with lighting and digital workshops.

I am going to continue with the exploratory meetings towards finding common ground. For my next meeting I would like to present a rough idea of the kinds of skills, projects and material already available in the many different photographic communities. I am especially interested in hearing from individuals and organizations that might be able to assist with the following:

1) Are any of you prepared to co-curate an exhibition(s) for the Sciencentre? Please let me know what your specific area of expertise is.

2) Are there any existing exhibitions in SA which might be suitable to show at the Sciencentre?

3) Are there any collections globally that have suitable travelling exhibitions, (such as NASA, George Eastman House etc.) that could be brought out here?

3) If we did establish a programme of educational inputs, are there any photographers/ educators among you who might be interested in conducting workshops for learners at the Sciencentre? Please indicate what your specialist area is.

If there are other areas which in your opinion might be usefully explored, please let me know ASAP.

05.12.00 Call for New Media Artists

JavaMuseum - Forum for Internet Technologies in Contemporary Art is happy to launch its first project '1st of JAVA - Perspectives on New Media'. Artists are invited to submit their works (URLs) in the following categories: Flash, Quicktime, HTML, VRML, Java, Javascript, DHTML or Miscellanous (technologies which do not fit in these aforementioned categories, for example, by requiring an uncommon plug-in). In the categories Flash and Quicktime, work can also be movies submitted via email (.swf and .mov files no larger than 2MB).

The project has no particular theme or subject, but intends instead to represent a snapshot of current work being produced using Internet technologies. The project will form the basis of other upcoming projects to be realized. From 2001 on, there will be monthly changing online shows of featured projects and artists.

The Call for Artists, the submission form and listings are published on JavaMuseum site www.javamuseum.de. JavaMuseum - Forum for Internet Technologies in Contemporary Art realizes projects related to Art and Technology in cooperation, either online or in a combination and exchange between the virtual level of the Internet and a physically real exhibition environment. The organisation forms part of NewmediaArtprojectNetwork - Le Musée di-visioniste.

For more information, email Wilfried Agricola de Cologne info@javamuseum.de


05.12.00 Proposals for next Soft Serve

The next Soft Serve is called 'Softsell', and it looks at advertising and branding. It takes place on April 2 at the South African National Gallery in Cape Town. Artists should start thinking about - and researching - these issues so that the work they make is intelligent and cleverly positioned.

We are keen to hear ideas while they're still in the messy, not-quite-worked-out phase, but would also love to hear any ideas that are fully-formed. Artists may be asked to make work that is actually branded - that refers to a particular brand - because actual brands are providing the funding for the project. We will only know much closer to the event who these brands are going to be, and we won't have much control over who they are, so artists may need to be prepared to make quick links between their ideas, and a particular brand. Please also come up with ideas for works that aren't branded - or that can't be branded. We will need both kinds of work. If it's at all possible, start thinking about what media you want to work in, what you think about advertising, branding, and the relationship between these and art - and the relationship between these three and contemporary life. We would prefer work that is not simplistically either pro- or anti-business.

Any ideas you have about any of this stuff, or any websites, references, recommended books, art precedents, etc., please also let us know about as quickly as possible so that we can chew over it. The sooner you get in touch with ideas for new work (preferably first-ideas, badly written, not-fully-worked-out), the better. You don't have to be an artist to send in writing and reflections on all of this. Just jot down anything you're thinking, worried about, critical of, excited by, etc. - that has to do with the project - and art, branding and advertising - and send it to us so that we know what's going on "out there".

14.11.00 Photographs of South African Children

I am the picture editor of the German children's magazine GEOlino, which is part of the GEO group (the equivalent of National Geographic). The magazine is aimed at children from the ages of 7 to 15 years. GEOlino is now going to be published on a monthly basis. Therefore, we are always looking for good children's stories from all around the world and reportages by professional photographers about children or issues related to children. We would greatly appreciate any offers or proposals along these lines.

We are also always looking for individual pictures of children in Europe and other parts of the world for our section "Menschenskinder" (Children of the World). This introduces children who have done or experienced something special, or who live in surroundings/ cultures that children in Germany might know little about, in order to allow the readers to get an insight into the lives and realities of other kids. The pictures have to reveal something about the surroundings of the children and we (ideally) need the names and ages of the subjects, as well as a little story (really short) to accompany the picture. Having lived in South Africa last year, I found a lot to be said about the lives of children in South Africa and a lot of talented photographers whose work should be shown. Important for us is a professional standard and interesting stories. If you are interested in showing work, please contact me.

14.11.00 National Aids Billboard Initiative

The Artists for Human Rights Trust Projects Committee has launched a National Billboard Initiative, promoting an anti HIV/ Aids message. This has been made possible by the support of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Department of Health. During July this year, three billboards were erected in the greater Durban area - in Kwa-Mashu, Claremont and Umlazi. More recently a billboard has been installed on Harrow Road in Johannesburg with assistance from the MTN Arts Institute. Others will be erected as soon as adequate funds are available.

The aims and intentions of the project are simple: We intend to use visual art as a medium to initiate a national campaign to intensify awareness of HIV/ Aids and more importantly to transform the stigma surrounding the disease. The Billboard Initiative involves the use of print images produced by both local and international artists on the theme of "Breaking the Silence".

The Artists for Human Rights Trust Projects Committee, in association with the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology, the National Arts Council Trust and the Technikon Natal, invite you or your organisation to participate in the initiative. We see this as a unique and effective way to enhance a company's corporate image and to address corporate social responsibility. The same applies to participating artists. For further information contact the Project Administrator, Ms. Asiya Swaleh on 27 - 31 - 204-2866 or email fineart@umfolozi.ntech.ac.za

Deadline for artists' submissions is January 30, 2001.


14.11.00 Fourth Edition of the MEDIA SAVE ART Award

This award is an international press competition for articles dealing with the preservation of cultural heritage - a contentious and often agenda-inflected area in South Africa.

Two prizes of US$ 4,000 will be made, to the author of the best article and the best series of articles respectively.

The biennial competition is administered by the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), an intergovernmental organisation created by UNESCO in 1959.

BASA are seeking entrants for the 4th annual Business Day/BASA awards for innovative and successful sponsorship of the arts. All businesses, large or small, which are supporting the arts in cash or in kind are invited to enter. The awards focus on sponsorship of events, projects or organisations during the period January 1 to December 31 2000, and demonstrate how the arts offer a viable and effective communications tool for business while simultaneously raising the profile of the arts in this country. It appears that sponsorship spend is growing annually, and with arts and culture forming part of the 'entertainment sector', BASA is working to convince the corporate sector that such support can "offer real opportunities for business to reach their target markets and address philanthropic objectives." Award categories include: Best use of a commission of new art; first time sponsor; increasing access to the arts; international sponsorship; long term development; single project; sponsorship by a small business; sponsorship in kind; strategic sponsorship; and youth sponsorship. The big prize is the Chairman's Award for sustained excellence, made at the discretion of BASA's Chairman. A judging panel, comprised of professionals from the business and arts sectors, will evaluate the success of each sponsorship in achieving the objectives of the sponsor and in bringing genuine benefits to the arts organization and surrounding community. Factors such as the innovative nature of the sponsorship will also be taken into account.

All businesses that have sponsored any arts organization, project or event, in any discipline or disciplines (visual and performing arts, music, theatre, dance, literature, poetry, festival, film, etc.) are eligible to enter. In cases of multiple sponsorship of a single event, all sponsors are eligible to enter.

The nomination/entry form may be completed by the sponsoring company and/or the arts organization, except in the Strategic Sponsorship category which must be completed by the business itself. Sponsoring companies may be entered in a maximum of two categories.

Contact Business and Arts South Africa for more information and nomination/entry forms at telephone 011 784 9994 or fax 011 784 9996, or email. The closing date for entries is 28 February 2001.
