Call for Artists: Crossing Identities - Mexico

Call for Artists: Crossing Identities - Mexico Deadline: November 15, 2011 International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting video/short.films and photo works to include in the next 2011 Exhibition:   Crossing Identities - International Videoart Festival and Photo Exhibition at Terraza Bugambilias in Morelia, Mexico (December 02 - 04, 2011)   The deadline for applications is November 15, 2011.   The selections will be based on the main concept of “Crossing Identities”. In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, what makes every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making also the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable. This change, thismutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. And it’s just this “contemporaneity” that makes our civilization conceived as subjected to a process of continuous evolution and cultural hybridization. There is no limit between an identity and the other one any more but it ispossible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.   The number of works with which you can participate is unlimited. All video works must be on DVD (PAL or NTSC), no matter what the original source medium. The maximum length of videos should be 10 minutes. All photo works on every kind of support are accepted. The maximum dimensions allowed per each image are 150 cm per side.

Participation open to: professional artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios.   International ArtExpo is a not for profit organization that provides a significant forum for cultural dialogue between all artists from different cultures and countries.

Rare Performance of Theatrical Adaptation of John Cage's James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, Erik Satie: An Alphabet

RARE PERFORMANCE OF THEATRICAL ADAPTATION OF JOHN CAGE’S JAMES JOYCE, MARCEL DUCHAMP, ERIK SATIE:
 AN ALPHABET

Performed in the Fisher Center’s Acoustically Superb Sosnoff Theater

Presented by the John Cage Trust and New Albion Records

 ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts presents John Cage’s James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, Erik Satie: An Alphabet on Friday, November 11 and Saturday, November 12 at 8 p.m. The rarely performed theatrical piece stars John Kelly and is directed by Laura Kuhn, with music and sound design by Mikel Rouse and set design by Marco Steinberg. The program is produced by the John Cage Trust at Bard College andNew Albion Records. Tickets are $15, $25, $35, and $45. To purchase tickets call the Fisher Center box office at 845-758-900, or go to fishercenter.bard.edu.

Cage’s Alphabet began life as a highly imaginative radio play in 1982, a commission from Klaus Schöning and Cologne’s West German Radio (WDR). Working on the principles of collage, Cage created a cast of unlikely characters— the three title artists, Henry David Thoreau, Buckminster Fuller, Robert Rauschenberg, Brigham Young, and seven others. The result is a remarkably democratic intermingling of perspectives, suffused throughout with humor and irreverence for the particulars of history.

In 2001, nearly a decade after Cage’s death, director Laura Kuhn created a theatrical version of the radio play, directing its premiere in Edinburgh that same year. Sound and music designer Mikel Rouse collaborated with Kuhn and a team of composers, musicologists, and performers, collecting and cataloguing sounds for Cage’s score, which consists of almost 200 sounds “as varied and suggestive as the dialogue itself: a lawn mower, x-rays, an earthquake, a Xerox machine, a bullfight, and a marriage ceremony, to name just a few,” says Rouse.

Acclaimed actor John Kelly will perform the role of the Narrator, which he created for the theatrical version of the work. The cast also includes Mikel Rouse as James Joyce; Larry Larson as Jonathan Albert; Joan Retallack as Buckminster Fuller; Emma Reed as Mao Tse Tung; Victoria Miguel as Thorstein Veblen;Richard Teitelbaum as Robert Rauschenberg; John Seidman as Marcel Duchamp; Ferran Carvajal as Oppian; Trevor Carlson as Brigham Young; and Robin Preiss as the wife of Brigham Young. Erik Satie will be played by Merce Cunningham (on tape).  Ralph Benko, in the role of Henry David Thoreau, has dropped out and is replaced by Rebeccah Johnson. 

This production of James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, Erik Satie: An Alphabet celebrates the onset of John Cage’s centennial year, the first of many events scheduled to take place around the world. It also celebrates the fourth year of the John Cage Trust’s residence at Bard College. 

For tickets and information call the Fisher Center Box Office at 845-758-7900, or go to fishercenter.bard.edu.

The John Cage Trust at Bard College was established in 1993 as a not-for-profit institution whose mission is to gather together, organize, preserve, disseminate, and generally further the work of the late American composer John Cage. Its founding trustees were Merce Cunningham, artistic director of the Cunningham Dance Company; Anne d’Harnoncourt, Director of the Philadelphia Museum; and David Vaughan, Archivist of the Cunningham Dance Foundation, all long-time Cage friends and associates. Laura Kuhn, who from 1986 to 1992 worked directly with John Cage, serves as both a founding trustee and ongoing executive director.

New Albion Records was founded in San Francisco in 1984, to explore the world of art music. Its current catalogue includes 138 releases. In recent years, with the onset of the Internet, its focus has moved from recording projects to concert events. New Albion has partnered with the John Cage Trust and Merce Cunningham Dance Company.

Art Show & Benefit

Art Show & Benefit   Trapani Fine Art And Frame Shoppe Hosts "Josef & Joseph an Art Show"          Trapani Fine Art And Frame Shoppe in the heart of Manhasset at 447 Plandome Road will be hosting "Josef & Joseph an Art Show" featuring the paintings of local artists Josef Kote and Joseph Palazzolo. The show will be on exhibit November 12th thru the 26th, with an artist's reception Saturday, Nov. 12th from 6-9PM. Refreshments will be served.          The show is another in a series of well received events hosted by Trapani Fine Art. As an added incentive to attend (and purchase art) the gallery is offering a percentage of all sales of art, by both artists, during the two week show to the Manhasset Women's Coalition Against Breast Cancer. The Gallery and The Coalition are hoping this will be the first of many such collaborations for such a worthy cause.          Both artists bring their own style to their art. Josef Kote a more abstract approach to his landscapes and seascapes, while Joseph Palazzolo a more diverse style ranging from impressionistic cityscapes to more traditional still lifes, figures and portraits. Surely a range of art to suit any taste.          Trapani Fine Art And Frame Shoppe can be reached at 516-365-6014 or e-mail at info@TrapaniFineArt.com. Their web site iswww.TrapaniFineArt.com.
