FIELDS Call for Participation -

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 30, 2013!

Fields starts from the assumption that the changing role of art in 
society is one where it becomes a critical interloper in patterns of 
social, scientific, and technological transformations. The range of 
practices which were once subsumed under terms such as media art, 
digital art, art and technology, art and science, have experienced 
such growth and diversification that no single term can work as a 
signpost any more. Fields is about mapping those expanded fields of 
artistic practices which are contextual seedbeds for ideas and 
practices aiming at overcoming the crisis of the present, inventing 
new avenues for future developments by bringing together 
traditionally separated domains. Fields is about new ecological and 
transversal trends in art, outlining potential future trajectories 
for multifarious types of activities that merge politics, technology, 
ecology, gender, semiology.

Which Fields act as catalysts and underpin those artistic practices 
which offer the greatest potential for social change towards more 
imaginative and sustainable ways of living? Which pre-cursors in the 
last 30-40 years did exist and what can we learn from those often 
untold stories?

Areas that we will be looking at include but are not restricted to

* real fields, fields as in agricultural fields, works relating to 
fields, food growing, water, seeds, plant ecologies and 
communications; eco-activism, agro-socio-political projects
* field as metaphor, semiotic field theories and meta-field theories; 
work as decoding and recoding of cultural patterns of social use of 
images;
* electromagnetic fields: and their experimental epistomologies 
(quantum field theory); notion of relational field; the 
epistemological implications of quantum theory in art
* gendered fields, field as a psychological relation, psychological 
and psycho-analytical field theories
* field theories of perception
* social field theories, theories of masses and of emotional 
'contagion'; relational field theories, notion of culture as a 
relational field

If you have an art or artistic-research project that fits one of 
those categories or where you feel that it extends this concept, 
please send a short description to:

fields at rixc.lv

The deadline for this first round call has been extended to June 30th 2013.

Selected works will be presented at the exhibition Fields from May 15 
to August 2014 as part of Riga Culture Capital 2014, at the Arsenals 
Exhibition Hall of the National Art Museum in Riga. Fields is 
co-curated by Armin Medosch, Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits, and will 
get produced by RIXC in collaboration with a growing number of 
networks and partners.

The initial matrix of Fields gets jointly developed through this open 
call and public workshops. Fields was first presented publicly at 
Transmediale 2013. At Pixelache 2013, a 'Fields Q & A' session was 
held. The next workshop 'Playing Fields' will be staged at the MAH 
Renew conference.
