I work at the Sloane Art Library at UNC-Chapel Hill. We have an artists'
file made up of ephemeral materials about exhibitions and artists. We
receive most of the materials through UNC's Ackland Art Museum, who receive
tons of the stuff in the mail. For whatever reason, book artists aren't
very well represented.
We'd like to build up our files on book artists, to complement our artists'
book collection. If you have such materials about your work or about shows
you've been involved with, please consider sending a batch to us. We
encourage students and researchers to use the files for deeper research on
well-known artists, or to discover artists who may not be represented in
monographs & reference works yet.
Examples of appropriate materials:
-- gallery announcement postcards
-- exhibition pamphlets with images and/or essays
-- artist's statements & CV's
-- news clippings
-- etc.
If in doubt, send it. I'll be happy to wade through and weed out. And
please consider adding us to your mailing lists so that we'll continue to
receive materials in the future.
Our address:
Joseph C. Sloane Art Library
102 Hanes Art Center
Campus Box #3405
UNC-Chapel Hill, NC 27599
Many thanks in advance! Feel free to contact me off-list at my work email
address if you have questions: hockensm@email.unc.edu
All the best --

Assignment: Inspiration, 10/1
Assignment: Inspiration
Assignments are an age-old way to teach the book arts, but also a great way
to explore a new, uncharted topic or structure or just break free of
creative constraints. They can help artists step outside our comfort zone by
forcing us to reconsider our perceived notions about art in general or the
concept or structure of a book arts project.
We have all been students of the book arts at one point or another and we
have all been inspired, challenged and even sometimes frustrated by an
assignment. Some artists even create assignments for themselves as a way to
get the creative juices flowing or start thinking outside the box. And
teachers everywhere work very hard at developing creative, thought-provoking
assignments.
What are your favorite assignments? Which assignments had the biggest impact
on your growth as a book artist? What assignments have been the most
successful with your students? If you would like to share them, we will
create a web page with inspirational assignments as we all think about
creating entries for "The Assignment: A Juried Exhibition of Book Arts
Organized in Conjunction with the Meeting of the College Book Art
Association in Portland, Oregon." Send us your assignment and we'll
hopefully get the juices flowing for all of us and perhaps even spark a
conversation or two about what makes an assignment work
Please send your assignment in the following format:
Your Name:
Assignment Title:
Description of the Assignment: (in less than 200 words, please)
Feel free to include a link to your web site with more information about the
assignment or perhaps a book you made in response to this assignment.

Broadsided 9/1/09
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Broadsided! The Intersection of Art and Literature
October 2-31, 2009 at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, Oregon
Before books, before blogs and before mass media, there were broadsides. Historically, broadsheet posters were ephemeral in nature: often political or editorial proclamations or even advertising. Today, broadsides hang at the intersection of art and literature. Letterpress printed broadsides are valued as graphic fine art designed and printed by a true craftsperson; but also as fine literature featuring poetry or prose.
Complete entry information and online entry form can be found here:
www.23sandy.com/Broadsided/CallForEntries.htm <http://www.23sandy.com/Broadsided/CallForEntries.com >
l
Entry deadline is September 1, 2009.
P.S. One important note. In light of the recession we have lowered the gallery commission on sales for this show to 25% instead of our usual 40%. Crossing our fingers that we can write big checks to everyone in the show!

below) that will fit into a 9² x 12² envelope. This project is in
conjunction with MCBA¹s upcoming exhibition None of the Above: Assembling,
Collaborating and Publishing in the Eternal Network.
An assembling project represents the ultimate in democratic art. Everything

Who¹s invited? Artists, writers, printmakers, zinesters, poets,

paper sing!), book artists, book artists who are ventriloquists, whoever so
chooses and those chosen meaning you! Plus, you can exercise reckless
editorial control or lack thereof by forwarding this invitation to others.

popsicle sticks) but it can be no larger than 8.5² x 11² (21.6 cm x 27.9 cm)
and 1/8² thick (.3 cm). It can be folded, stitched, crushed, flattened, etc.

participants. Additional copies will be archived, distributed to
donors/volunteers, and a small number will be sold as a fundraiser for MCBA.

include a sheet of paper with your name and postal address. Also include $5

Raised Voices: 4/11
Zygote Press is currently looking for artists for an exhibition of artists’ books responding to the title: Raised Voices: artists’ books for troubled times. Please see the curators’ statement for more details.
Only fine art books and book based work will be accepted for consideration. Dimensions, media, and materials are all the choice of the artist. We are hoping that the books can be read and handled by viewers, but some vitrine space will be available for more fragile pieces.
The exhibition is being curated by Susan Vincent and Wendy Partridge. Susan Vincent is a printmaker and book artist. She received her BFA from Kent State University in printmaking and currently works at SPACES, an alternative contemporary art gallery in Cleveland. At SPACES Vincent manages the experimental project space, SPACELab and works as the Membership and Administrative Manager. In September 2008 Vincent spent five weeks in Germany on an international residency exchange program funded by Zygote Press, the Ohio Arts Council, and the City of Dresden. Wendy Partridge is a painter and printmaker. She studied art at San Francisco State University and the California College of Arts and Crafts. During that time she apprenticed with Peter Koch at his letterpress studio in Berkeley, California and at the Press in Tuscany Alley, San Francisco. She has a graduate degree in art conservation from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University and works as a paintings conservator at the Intermuseum Conservation Association in Cleveland, Ohio. She occasionally teaches workshops on the fundamentals of letterpress printing at Zygote Press.
The deadline for submission is Saturday April 11, 2009. Zygote Press will be open from 10-5 on April 11 for drop-offs. The exhibit opens Friday May 1st and runs through June 6th, 2009.
For more information or questions, contact the either curator via email
suevince@gmail.com or wpartridge@ica-artconservation.org
ENTRY PROCEDURE

UTC Grant: February 2nd
Summer Teaching Development Grants
Call For Proposals
The University Teaching Council believes in supporting excellence in education. The purpose of the Summer Teaching Development Grant (STDG) is to enhance student learning by providing financial support for faculty to engage in projects that will significantly improve teaching methods, develop curricula, or create innovative course materials.
Since the award aims to provide the greatest benefits to students, preference will be given to projects that will improve undergraduate learning either directly through enhancing undergraduate teaching or indirectly by improving graduate teaching that plays a significant role in the training of graduate teaching fellows.
The University Teaching Council will award Summer Teaching Development Grants in two amounts; $3,250. for a five-week period, and $6,500. for a ten-week period. The grants are intended to serve as a faculty salary, and recipients must agree not to accept any other teaching projects for the duration of the grant.
The grants are intended to fund the total cost of the proposed project. In cases of exceptional expense, the University Teaching Council may consider additional funds under the Teaching Conference or the Teaching Development Grants.
General Criteria
Advancing Teaching Excellence…The project should exceed normal course preparation, and it should either improve current pedagogical practices or introduce new pedagogical methods or materials that will significantly improve teaching and enhance student learning.
Applicability to Kent State University…Projects should relate to teaching within the University mission. Preference will be given to proposals that provide the greatest benefit, directly or indirectly, to students at Kent State University.
Interdisciplinary Course Development…The University Teaching Council is especially interested in reading proposals on interdisciplinary courses and hope that at least one award for summer 2009 will be for this target area of the Strategic Plan.
Eligibility
All full-time and part-time faculty members at any of the eight Kent State University campuses are eligible for a Summer Teaching Development Grant. Applicants working on collaborative projects must indicate whether they are splitting one award or requesting full awards for each collaborator, depending on the scope of the project. Last year’s recipients of a Summer Teaching Development Grant are not eligible to apply for a grant this year. Funds will be awarded to those activities which have a clear connection to the advancement of learning and educational excellence at Kent State University.
Grant Recipients
- Grant recipients will report their results or progress in writing to the University Teaching Council at the duration of the summer term.
- Grant recipients are expected to make a presentation at the annual College Teaching Conference in the fall.
- Grant recipients will submit an assessment of the longer term impact of the project to the University Teaching Council.
- Grant recipients may be asked to come together with other grant recipients during the summer to discuss their experiences.
Should an award produce materials that could be patented or copyrighted, these patents or copyrights, subject to legal considerations and traditions of Kent State University, may be shared jointly by the University and the individual faculty member. Taxes and STRS will be withheld from the stipend.
Grant Writing Workshop
The University Teaching Council strongly recommends that applicants attend a grant writing workshop either on Wednesday November 19, 2008 from 12-2 pm OR Thursday January 22, 2009 from 4-6 pm. Applicants are encouraged to bring a rough draft of their proposal to the workshop for feedback. Examples of successful proposals will be available for examination.
Procedure
Please use the cover sheet provided to list the required information about your project. The proposal must be no more than 5 single-spaced, typewritten pages, excluding the cover page. Number the pages. Remember that your proposal will be read and evaluated by colleagues outside your discipline.
Proposal should be submitted to Anne Morrison at amorriso@kent.edu by Wednesday, February 4, 2009. Proposals will be reviewed March 6, 2009, by the UTC, and awards will be announced March 20, 2009.
To be considered, proposals must follow the requirements above.
Proposals must also include the following parts:
Part I: Goals. Clearly state the goals of your project and define the audience to whom the project is addressed. Explain in detail how the project will enhance teaching excellence and student learning.
Part II: Significance. Explain if and how you view the project as innovative. State how the project relates to the University Strategic Plan and/or AQIP Action Project No1 (or unit Action Project).
Part III: Scope and Anticipated Impact. Explain who will be affected by the project and in what way. Describe its scope in terms of, for example, the number of students and /or units affected (program, department/school, college, campus).
Part IV: Procedure and Timeline: Provide a step-by-step plan for completing your project, including a timeline for the 5-week or 10-week grant period.
Part V: Evaluation. How will you evaluate the success of your project? Discuss specific plans and procedures for assessing the success of your project.
Part VI: Communication of the Results. Discuss ways you will communicate the results of your project to others in the university and to professional colleagues. Will publishable results be derived from this project? Will presentations at professional meetings result? Recipients of this award are expected to present their findings at the annual UTC conference in the fall.
Part VII: Vitae. Append your curriculum vitae to the proposal, highlighting items relevant to the project.
If additional equipment or funds are necessary to complete this project, how do you propose to obtain them? If you anticipate such additional funding needs, you may submit a Teaching Conference Grant request or a Teaching Development Grant request, in addition to this proposal. Any additional materials or funds required should be explained as thoroughly as possible in the proposal.

ABSTRACT: Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Jan 31st
LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
“Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Where do we go from here?”
9th and 10th July 2009 at the School of Creative Arts, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. 10am – 5pm each day.
We believe that content is paramount for any artist’s book, yet format is also part of its context. We are currently working on a 2-year AHRC funded project (www.ahrc.ac.uk) at the Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England, UK: “What will be the canon for the artist’s book in the 21st Century?” Our aim is to create a manifesto for a canon of the 21st Century artist’s book, to be published in February 2010.
The study will consider the traditional publishing formats for artists’ books and assess their potential for future expansion within the field. We also aim to quantify how artists are using new technologies and screen-based media as publishing tools.
We are seeking papers and members for discussion panels for a two-day conference we will be hosting on 9th and 10th July 2009. We invite artists, academics, students, presses, publishers, curators, dealers and collectors to submit abstracts for papers and discussion topics, based upon the title of the conference: “Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Where do we go from here?” There will be a total of twelve papers presented over the two days and two discussion sessions for which we are seeking the abstracts to be refereed.
Speakers who are selected by the referees will not be paid to present a paper so we encourage participants to apply for funding elsewhere. The funding from the AHRC will be used to subsidise the cost of attending the conference to allow as many to attend as possible. Attendance will cost £20 or £10 for students for both days. These fees will be waived for speakers/panel members. If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words and a copy of your current CV by 31st January 2009 to:
