Call for Work: NSCAD University Show
U.S. & Canada
Deadline: Jul 31
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS/FROM OUTSIDE: THE DIGITAL BODY
Seeking submissions in art and writing, of work that relates ideas of digital technology and culture to the Othered body. We are looking for artists working from a culturally 'outside' perspective, engaging with ideas and modes of technological 'progress' and its impact on and potential for the Othered body. Ideas explored in proposed works may include: dependence, resistance, engagement, functionality, subversion, abjection, waste, fusion, interface, body-lessness, the virtual body, the cyborg, the digitized subject, people as data, prosthetics, robotics, (…) and should ask questions and expand the discourse of how the technological age is being experienced by marginalized people and what it might mean for our future.
Selected works will be featured in a publication that will be made in conjunction with the show, in online and physical format, and will include images and writings on the theme. This is a great opportunity for experience and exposure for emerging artists. Unfortunately artist fees will not be paid out, as this is an independent student curatorial project aimed at providing the opportunity for exposure to emerging artists. The show will be held at the Anna Leonowens Gallery, a historic gallery located in the Granville Campus of NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
WHO CAN APPLY:
artworks: Undergraduate and Graduate fine arts students in Canada and the U.S. in their second-last or final year of a university program, and recent graduates of such a program.

Nick Cave Soundsuits Collaboration with Ronald K. Brown
YBCA is thrilled to conclude its 08_09 season with a truly remarkable confluence of performing and visual art in our Exhibitions gallery, fusing the movement of renowned choreographer Ronald K. Brown and the shimmering Soundsuits of visionary sculptor Nick Cave. Praised as "one of the most profound choreographers of his generation," Brown and EVIDENCE dancer Arcell Cabuag blend African, modern, ballet and social dance styles to tell stories about the human experience. As part of his residency at YBCA, Brown and EVIDENCE dancer Shani Collins will collaborate with local performers to bring to life Cave's Soundsuits— ephemeral full-body sculptures composed of recycled clothing, beads, bottle caps, toys, twigs and hair.
