2nd EIBAB EUROPEAN INTERNATIONAL BOOK ART BIENNALE, June 15, 2012
2nd EIBAB EUROPEAN INTERNATIONAL BOOK ART BIENNALE
The EIBAB Biennale subject 2012:
TRANS (FORMS)
"Once upon a time there was a world where writing was unknown. A world different to ours, but nevertheless still human. Everything changed once writing was invented. But, maybe the writing was only revealed to humans and not invented by them. It is sure that, for thousands of years, writing was the secret recipe of spiritual texts, guarded by royalty or the keepers of sacred knowledge. Beyond its content, writing has an exterior, a visual feature. Transposing or “packaging” the idea into text implies an infinite variety of shapes and materials. In this way the writing and the book become an art object. A book is more than the content it holds; its physical structure, and visual impact are also part of it. In some oriental traditions, calligraphy was considered a spiritual pathway.
But what is happening writing today? With the book? Is there still any connection with the primary sense? Does writing have any connection with the human essence nowadays?”

Book live!, abstracts due 1/15
Book live!
International symposium and related live events at London South Bank
University
8th - 9th June 2012
a collaboration between the Centre for Media and Cultural Research (CMCR) at LSBU and bookRoom Research Cluster at UCA Farnham.
The event will bring together theorists, researchers and practitioners to stimulate a dialogue across disciplines on the ability of the book to keep up with digital culture and the emergence of new modes of writing, of photographing, of reading, or archiving and of disseminating on the page work. The purpose of this conference is to examine the current transforming and expanding of the book rather than its virtual disintegration.
The conference will include international guest speakers from the broader world of publishing, photography and experimental writing as well as short presentations of book works and a series of live experimental and durational readings. The two keynote speakers are Joan Fontcuberta (photographer, artist and all-round critic of contemporary culture from Barcelona) and Sharon Helgason Gallagher (founder and director of D.A.P and ARTBOOK in New York). There will be a performance of the full twelve hours of John Cage's Empty Words (first published in 1979 by Wesleyan University Press) by Sylvia Alexandra Schimag (Germany), coinciding with the release of the complete recording by Editions Wandelweiser.
CALL FOR PAPER AND PRESENTATION max 25 minutes
Call for papers, presentations, panels and readings dealing with (but not limited to) the following themes and research questions;
- How has digital technology allowed the book to expand its boundaries, both in space and time?
- Innovative convergence of traditional craft skills and advanced technologies in the making, reading, archiving or disseminating of books.
- Interdisciplinary experiments that addresses the cultural translations between traditional skills and advanced technologies.
- Explorations that reconsider the contemporary or future role of the book socially, culturally, politically.
- Innovative or disastrous explorations and transgressions of ebook readers.
- What do we gain and lose with on screen Œreading¹?
- How is conventional publishing adapting to fast changing digital economy?
- What has become of collecting in our digital culture?
- What is knowledge now that computers can provide and keep everything?
- High culture versus digital culture
Beyond the conference we will be bringing together papers and other contributions as a publication in its own right; an interesting survey of current thinking and innovative practice informed by both the themes and the findings of the conference. Edited and designed by bookRoom press, and published by RGAP.
Deadline for abstracts: 15th january 2011 - Decision sent before 15th february
Please send abstracts to Emmanuelle Waeckerle (ewaeckerle@ucreative.ac.uk)
Submissions from doctoral students and early-career postdoctoral researchers
are encouraged, as well as submissions from non-academic publishers, collectors, artists, writers and thinkers.

Uncommon Threads, 8/18
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Uncommon Threads: The Handicrafts in Book Arts
Exhibition dates: September 23 - October 29, 2011
Location: 23 Sandy Gallery, Portland, Oregon
Deadline for Entries: August 18, 2011
THEME - One of the best aspects of working in the field of book and paper
arts is the chance to work with such varied artistic materials and
techniques—even traditional handicraft techniques. Think of knitting,
embroidery, sewing, beading, felting, needlework, stitching, quilting and
any other myriad possibilities. Combine these techniques or materials with a
strong concept, meaningful content, a story to tell or a compelling
narrative and we have a new era in the book and paper arts.
Uncommon Threads seeks artist books and other forms of book and paper art
that utilize handicraft techniques, materials or subjects as a way to round
out, illustrate or compliment a central concept. Remember, it’s not just
about the materials or techniques. Let’s dispel the myth that the
handicrafts can’t have any part in meaningful art.
MEDIA - This exhibit is open to hand crafted book and paper arts related
works created as either edition or one-of-a-kind. Artist books, sculptural
books, book objects, altered books, zines, broadsides and sculptural pieces
are all encouraged. Any medium, any style, any size.
AWARDS - Three artists will receive "Best of Show Awards" which will include
a certificate and special marketing blitz focusing on their work. One artist
will receive a "Library Choice Award" which will be awarded based on ballots
cast by our library and museum customers and will also receive a certificate
and marketing blitz.
DEADLINE – Submissions are due no later than August 13, 2011
INFO – A complete call for entries for Uncommon Threads can be found here:

In And Out Of The Box, 6/27
Concept: The ebb and flow of consumerism initiated the decline of shopping in person at big box/warehouse stores and the rise of the virtual/mail order shopping experience. As a result of this shift, there has naturally been a rise in the number of boxes being sent around the world from retailer to buyer. Additionally, the experience of packaging, sealing, opening, and unwrapping has exponentially grown. In And Out Of The Box invites imaginative makers to explore this unfolding cultural phenomenon. This show will address the nature of “boxing”: packing, sending, delivering, receiving, etc. All boxes and packaging material will be displayed in this exhibit, as we strive to make the process of the delivery a focus of the show.

Peer Reviewers, 3/20
You will have seen my previous post about the call for articles for the new CBAA journal. We are also looking for peer reviewers for the journal (see below). I noticed that the links got stripped out of my previous post for some reason. The journal's website can be found at http://journals.sfu.ca/cbaa/ (The site has not yet had any design applied to it, but all the information is accurate.)
Call for Peer Reviewers
The College Book Art Association (CBAA) welcomes applications to be a peer reviewer for its new academic journal, Openings: Studies in Book Art. The journal will maintain a database with the names and expertise of reviewers who will then be matched to articles as needed. Of special interest are reviewers from a wide range of fields that intersect with the study of book art: art history, graphic design, printmaking, digital media, poetry, literature, theater, library science, and other textual and/or visual disciplines.
The journal follows a double-blind review process so author and reviewer remain anonymous to each other. Peer reviewers are asked to evaluate the article and make publishing recommendations that will go to the editorial board for final decision. Peer reviewers will be contacted as needed (depending on submissions) and can decline particular assignments if their schedule would prevent timely completion of a review.
If you are interested in being considered for addition to this peer reviewer database, submit a short (1-2 paragraph) statement describing your qualifications and area(s) of expertise along with a CV to Elisabeth Long at journal@collegebookart.org
The editorial board will make decisions about peer reviewers based on their qualifications and their areas of expertise and will notify applicants when they are added to the database.
About Openings: Studies in Book Art
Openings is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes critical, historical, and theoretical articles, reviews, and interviews about book art and its pedagogy. Contributions from diverse perspectives are welcome as are interdisciplinary and international explorations of the relationship of book art to the broader art world and to related fields such as poetry, graphic design, printmaking, digital media, and other textual and/or visual disciplines.
The journal will be produced online but will also be available in print via a print-on-demand service. Please read the About section (http://journals.sfu.ca/cbaa/index.php/jcbaa/about) of the journal’s web site for more information about the journal's scope and submission guidelines.

Artists' Books 2011, ?
Call for Entries
Artists' Books 2011 Exhibition
June 13 - July 23, 2011
Cuesta College Art Gallery
San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8106
Just a short introduction to the call for entries for "Artists' Books 2011",
my name is David Prochaska; I am an instructor of fine art at Cuesta
College, San Luis Obispo, California. Since 1999 I have organized an annual
book arts exhibition, to expose our local community to the community of
artists making books. These exhibitions have grown each year, both in the
number of books exhibited, as well as the number of enthusiastic visitors to
these installations. If you are looking to expose your artist books to a
new and enthusiastic audience, then this is the exhibition for you.
In these times of fiscal restraints, we are all aware of the limited funding
accessible to the arts. At the same time we must, as artists, be aware of
the need to build greater exposure to all art forms. For this reason we must
continue to ask the artists contributing to these exhibitions to assist in
the transportation of their books. (Mailing fees generally cost between $10
to $20 dollars.) With no entry fee or other charges this is a small price to
pay for the chance to get your books out to the people. The juror for
year?s exhibition will be the Cuesta College Book Arts students.
This is a ?hands on? exhibition! We want to encourage the visitors to
interact with these book forms, so please send books you want people to
interact with. We will provide gloves to the visitors to protect the books
from any soiling. But again, we really do hope to build a willingness to
interact with the books exhibited.
The exhibition will display between 80-100 books, so your work will be in
good company.
To participate in "Artists' Books 2011", please write or e-mail me for a
prospectus.

UCDA Engagement Project, 3/1/11
CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Here's how you can make a difference:
Get involved! Care. Smile. Say hello. Reach out. Interact. Show your concern. This is engagement.
UCDA's annual Engagement Project offers ways for you to make an impact in someone's life. Your design could make the difference - participate in the 2011 Social Media Issues Project. From addiction to identity theft to professional behavior in such channels, this year's poster submission leaves a great deal of interpretation to the creator.
What can you create that will cause someone, at the very least, to stop and think? The simple act of engagement can draw in the outcast, help prevent loneliness and discourage destructive behavior.
This call for submissions is open to university and college students, staff and educators. The Engagement Project is a program of the University & College Designers Association, but you do not need to be a UCDA member to enter.
Social media issues should be the focus of the entry but it is open to interpretation for meaning and message. Entries should be posters. Selected entries will be posted online and may be distributed freely to on-campus areas to highlight awareness of this important issue. Although this is not a competition and there is no monetary award, the project is a chance to do creative work for this good cause.
Accepted file formats:

Selected submissions:
Selected submissions will be posted on the UCDA website (ucda.com) for public viewing and download. Although only selected submissions will be posted, this is not a competition and there will be no winners and no prizes will be awarded. The work may also be used in other UCDA materials such as Designer magazine. UCDA will publicize the URL on the UCDA website, through emails, and in the Home Page newsletter. Participants may link to the UCDA website for their own promotional purposes.
By submitting a work, the author, designer, or creator is agreeing that it may be displayed and posted publicly and downloaded freely. Submitter is also responsible for obtaining all copyright and other licensing permissions.

These travel for one year with the International MBS Traveling Exhibit. They are then placed in the MBS Archives at the Lilly Library of Indiana University. All entries are displayed at the MBS Conclave. All entries are also photographed in color and included in the MBS Competition Exhibition Catalog with the winners being featured. Each entrant will receive a copy of this catalog. All non-winning entries will be returned to the entrants at the end of the MBS yearly Conclave.
