> C6 invite submissions for a forthcoming publication on strategies, 
> methods and techniques of DIY art practices. We are seeking 
> innovative, critical and radical approaches to diverse art practice 
> and organization focused on how to produce art unbound by market, 
> commerce, and whitecubes. The aim is to produce a guide of tactical 
> means for collective art making.
>
> We are looking for a wide range of perspectives, essays, case studies, 
> artworks and interviews to articulate and promote the idea of self 
> generative cultural events and the collective production of art. 
> Contributions from artists, activists, cultural producers, and other 
> related professionals are welcome.
>
> C6 wish to keep the possible topics vague enough for interpretation, a 
> starting point may be:
>
> • Ethos, history and politics of DIY art and culture
> • Occupation of territories
> • Culture jamming, guerrilla art practices
> • Strategies of audience engagement
> • Tales of endurance, invention and uncompromising passion
> • Resistance and the creation of communities
> • Question of authorship/ownership in collaborative systems
>
> Keywords: community, digital, tactical, strategic, interactive, 
> intervention, pervasive, collective, fine art sausage machine.

> Deadline for submission is 1st September 2005. Entries, comments and 
> queries can be sent to diy at c6.org
>
> The book launch event will be on the 29th of October at the c6 show 
> ‘SOLD OUT’ in Cremer street Shoreditch London.

> We are currently looking at approximately a 60 page book, A5 black and 
> white with limited graphics, printed in size 6 inches by 9 perfect 
> bound (like a magazine spine).This edition will be presented at the c6 
> show ‘SOLD OUT’ in October.
>
> The book then will go to Print on demand where a prospective buyer 
> will order the one copy he or she wants.  Price of the book online 
> will be its cost price that stands at a £2.50 plus postage.
>
> The work will be a collection of articles, case studies and how to\'s 
> about engaging the public using the strategies that are associated 
> with tactical art. We are limited to the amount of graphics we can 
> have but will consider them.
>
> Authors will receive a copy and can also distribute via the web 
> ordering system that we will set up. This is about disseminating 
> material via a print medium which we have found to be essential in 
> reaching some people.
>
> Thank you for your interest we look forward to your submission.
