http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com Projected Start of
Exhibition: 23 July 2002 How the project will develop/ guidelines for
submission
Artists are invited to submit proposals for inclusion in the cyber-kitchen
at http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com by emailing: jessloseby@the-
cyber-kitchen.com
In the kitchen image (see http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com), a few
objects have been converted to buttons and these will lead the visitor
into the individual artworks. More buttons will be added as artists pick
the areas or objects they wish to interpret. Over time the kitchen itself
will change, as people 'enter' the space and objects are moved and
rearranged. Artists are invited to pick any object or area of the kitchen
for interpretation/representation. This might achieved literally (such as
in the digital interpretation of an object e.g., a teacup) or as a play on
the idea or meaning of an object (e.g. a teacup might result in a work
based on 'a storm in a teacup') There are also four doorways, a French
window and a corridor leading off the cyber-kitchen...where do they go?

Composers with knowledge of visual art
Continental Harmony, project in Long Beach, CA
CALL FOR COMPOSERS
Continental Harmony announces a composer call for a project in Long Beach,
California, with an additional performance in Mexico City. Postmark
Deadline: August 1, 2002
In its inaugural year, Continental Harmony provided many opportunities for
composers to connect with communities across the country, and the Forum has
launched another round of Continental Harmony projects. Between 2001 and
2003, new projects will begin in all 50 states. Host organizations are
seeking composers to be their partners in the creation of original musical
works reflecting their communities' histories, cultures, and hopes for the
future. Each composer will be chosen by host organizations, and will work i=
n
the community with various groups, write the commissioned piece, and help
local musicians prepare the new work for performance.
Applications are currently being accepted from composers for a project in
Long Beach, California. The Forum will provide the commissioning fee, which
includes a residency of up to six weeks (not necessarily consecutive),
travel to Long Beach, and assistance with other costs. The community host
will provide housing and local transportation, and arrange residency
activities. An individual can only be selected for one project in this
three-year round of premieres.
Composers who participated in the first round of Continental Harmony
premieres (2000-01) are eligible and encouraged to participate. For this
project, knowledge of visual art and an interest in collaborative artistic
work are necessary in addition to the usual criteria of a high level of
musicianship and experience in residency projects.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Long Beach, California
Work: Approximately one-half of a 40-50 minute suite for symphony orchestra=
.
Theme: A musical exploration of the mutual influences of American and Latin
American visual art; the selected composer will represent the "American"

Sundance Fund to Support International Documentary Projects
The Sundance Institute's International Program has announced the creation o=
f
the Sundance Documentary Fund, formerly the Soros Documentary Fund of the
Open Society Institute.
The Sundance Documentary Fund is dedicated to supporting international
documentary films and videos focused on current and significant issues and
movements in contemporary human rights, freedom of expression, social
justice, and civil liberties. In supporting such works, the Sundance
Documentary Fund seeks to give voice to the diverse exchange of ideas
crucial to developing an open society, raise public consciousness about
human rights abuses and restrictions of civil liberties, and engage citizen=
s
in a lively, ongoing debate about these issues.
This highly competitive program only accepts projects dealing with
contemporary issues, and does not accept historical projects, biographies,
or series. Individuals from around the world may apply with documentary fil=
m
or video projects that range in length from full broadcast hour to long
format feature. Applicants must have creative and budgetary control over th=
e
proposed documentary. Quality of work samples, strength of proposal,
potential for broad international distribution, and the issue's significanc=
e
are elements heavily weighed during the review process.
Two project categories will be considered for funding:
Development Funds: are available for projects in the research or
preproduction phase. Grants in this category range up to $15,000. Grantees
receiving development funds may reapply for additional support upon
completion of at least a rough cut of their documentary.
Work in Progress Funds: are available for projects in production or
postproduction. These submissions are eligible for the maximum grant award
of $50,000, but generally, awards in this category will average $25,000.
For complete program information, see the Sundance Institute Web site
www.sundance.org under programs

I/O is a monthly public video projection program at the Quotidian Gallery i=
n
San
Francisco. A different compilation on video, of short pieces of 'time-based
media art', will be silently projected and repeated each 4 weeks, on the
outside gallery window during closing hours. The gallery is located on the
mezzanine (second floor) level of the historic Phelan office building in
downtown San Francisco.
I/O has been initiated and is curated by Michael Smit, who is a Dutch artis=
t
in San Francisco.
The sidewalk in front of 50 O'Farrell Street is the best place to see I/O;
the gallery window is on the opposite side of the street at the second floo=
r
level, above a Rite Aid store.
People have been seen to take out some chairs from the back of their cars
and make it themselves comfortable while viewing the program...
We are now calling for new submissions for I/O (#3) which will be titled
"Skin", referring to the surface on which the video projection is appearing=
:
on the second floor window, on the "skin" of the historic Phelan building.
The video projection livens up the already somewhat organic surface of the
office building. At night the gallery window is also often the only window
lit up. So the theme "Skin" does not necessarily relate to sensual
references, but more broadly to the visible physical surface, of living
and/or inorganic matter, to the outside layer of living and inorganic forms
or 'containers' in the world. However, we encourage artists to understand
this in their own ways and interpret it as broadly as they want or can.
The deadline for VHS/NTSC tapes to be received at the Quotidian Gallery (c/=
o
Michael Smit) is the second Thursday of August: Thursday August 8, at 5 pm.
The show will open on 9pm on Thursday August 22, and end on 9am on Thursday
September 19.
Announcement Cards will be made and sent out for the opening.
Each work should be no longer than roughly 5 minutes
In general pieces that address or relate more specifically to the nature of
this project*, the gallery's location and/or its public conditions, are
encouraged.
*art gallery window; downtown San Francisco; historic office building; the
window as screen; inside and outside; near major shopping and offices;
public art; visible from the street for passers-by and hopefully creating
also its own audience; projected at night; etc., etc..
Work on VHS tape (NTSC) must be submitted with a completed application form
(download it at http://homepage.mac.com/iopublicvideo)
and SAsSE (Self Addressed sufficiently Stamped Envelope). Submissions may b=
e
made by mail or in person to:
