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.
