Beermat Show: Call for Contributions
Everyone knows that all the best ideas for anything, ever, have been jotted down on beermats first. Always seeking to be topical rather than typical, we want to make a valuable contribution to the endless public debate about our giddy drinking culture. Here is some culture about drinking. Know your limits. It is time to celebrate all that is good about having a tipple.
Beermat Show was Temporary Art Space's third major show in Ma...y 2009 and has since toured to Harry's Bar in Wakefield and Empty Shop in Durham.
For Huddersfield Arts Festival, Alice & Bob will exhibit Beermat Show at Bates Mill, Huddersfield, 2nd & 3rd October 2010 and are seeking further contributions.
Post your beermats to:

WOMAN; Whose Canvas?
The Concept: In many societies around the world there are varying concepts of beauty but an almost universal pressure to attain it. Whether we lose weight, surgically enhance, hide or remove parts of ourselves that are considered unattractive, the female form continues to be reshaped and redefined.
The aim of this exhibition is to ask the questions; ‘who decides?’ and ‘at what cost?’
‘WOMAN; Whose canvas?’ will primarily be an interactive digital exhibition. Artists can submit up to three photographs of work. Email jpeg images to woman.whose.canvas@gmail.com with a brief paragraph of no more than 200 words describing each piece of work.
Deadline: 5pm Friday 17th September 2010.
Issues you may wish to explore…
_ What influences do the media, family, culture and religion have over the portrayal and pursuit of female beauty?
_ What validates beauty as something other than what women are naturally born to be?
_ And to what extent does pursuing beauty in fact hinder health, happiness and even human rights?The Event
The exhibition will take place in London on Wednesday 27th October at The Rag Factory (just off Brick Lane, near Liverpool Street).This event is organized by young women at FORWARD, a charity that exists to promote the health and human rights of African women and girls, empowering communities to end violence against women. www.forwarduk.org.uk
Selected photographs will be projected onto blank canvases and with your permission produced as postcards to promote your work and support the work of FORWARD. Most images will be exhibited electronically but some artwork will be selected to be displayed if you are willing to post or deliver at your own expense.
The evening aims to entice all the senses including, refreshments, audio, visual, panel discussion, and a chance to network. At the end of the exhibition visitors will be invited to creatively express their own ideas of true beauty on the blank canvases displayed.
We look forward to receiving your work and if you have any further questions regarding this opportunity please do not hesitate to contact Jenny, Saria or Nora at:

Call for Artists - Lost in translation?
Opportunity for British and Czech artists with experience of living in the opposite country: Lost in Translation? is an exhibition exploring what it's like to live in another country. Settling into another culture is an emotional process. The wonderment of things being different - cars on the other side of the road, learning to talk at great length about the weather and the tube announcements in an alien language.
You take it all in with all your senses, initially feeling displaced and uprooted at the beginning, but gradually creating your own environment and identity.
We are looking for visual art (photography, painting, drawing or print) and literary (in English) works that are about this process, drawing from the artist's own experience of living in the UK (Czech artists) or in the Czech Republic (British artists).
The final selection will be exhibited at the Riverside Studios London between 1-19 November, and on the Czech Centre website as part of the New Czech Cinema Festival.
Curated by Michaela Freeman, organized by the Czech Centre London.
To submit your work, please email up to two examples of your work or your literary piece relevant to the theme, together with a proposal, by 31 August 2010 to lostintranslationexhibition (at) gmail.com
Deadline: 31 August 2010

Call for exhibiting proposals: At Play 3 and 4
Following the success of At Play1 (2009) and At Play 2 (2010), South Hill Park Arts Centre is delighted to welcome new proposals for the AT PLAY 3 (2011) and AT PLAY 4 (2012) exhibitions.
The themes for At Play 3 (17 April - 19 June 2011) are as follows:
Children use play to make sense of the world; adults mainly use play to escape from it. Both have pleasure, but play can also have an obsessive, addictive, aggressive or divisive side. At Play 3 explores ideas about making sense of the world and escaping from it, considering both the pleasurable and the more sinister aspects of play.
The themes for At Play 4 (April – June 2012) are as follows:
Play can be free and spontaneous or it can be bound by rules and conventions – as with board games and sport. At Play 4 explores ideas about rules or the lack of them, in play, and the spirit of the Olympics.
While the theme for these exhibitions is play, they are aimed at an adult audience.
Application process:
Download the pack and application form from www.southhillpark.org.uk (under news)
Please complete the proposal form and send it by email only with up to ten jpeg images (max 1MB each) to exhibitions.intern@southhillpark.org.uk
If you wish to propose time-based work, please complete the proposal form and email it as above and send a CD or DVD of film/video by post to: Exhibitions, South Hill Park, Ringmead, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 7PA, marking the envelope ‘At Play’.
For queries, contact Cally Trench: callytrench@btinternet.com or Outi Remes: outi.remes@southhillpark.org.uk .
South Hill Park welcomes proposals of work in all media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, live art and new media. We particularly invite proposals for site-specific, interactive and participatory work for the Bracknell Gallery. Wall-based work will be particularly suitable for the Mirror Gallery and Atrium. Live art proposals will be considered for the private view/exhibition event.
For 2011/12, South Hill Park is looking for two or three lead artists (each will receive a bursary of £300 and will show a substantial body of work). In addition, At Play 3-4 will present work by up to 15 artists each year (no bursary). South Hill Park welcomes particularly proposals from artists who have not exhibited at South Hill Park before, and is positive about diversity.
