The 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution is pervaded by distinct feelings. On one hand, a long-lost revolutionary nostalgia; on the other, the reality of an island that, after five decades, gives us little cause to celebrate with enthusiasm. It is with this critical mindset that LAB.OITO7 Independent Art Gallery issues a call for artists and photographers to submit their works on the theme 50 OTHER YEARS . Cuba in Review.

Registration deadline: June 19th

Deadline : October 15th  (to confirm) -  Site & registration info

Idea of Self

Theme : How do you see yourself? How do you think of yourself? How do you think other people see you? Are you the fly on the

wall or the center of attention? The Idea of Self stretches further than the self portrait, and into the recesses of the mind, spirit and our subconscious. The Idea of Self takes us on a journey of self enlightenment and discovery allowing the photographer to truly bare

their soul or to hide it away. This investigation of who we are, or who we think we are, is uniquely represented through the art of photography.
Eligibility : The exhibition is open to all domestic and international, professional and amateur, photographers working with digital or traditional photography or combinations of both. The Center for Fine Art Photography invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate in its exhibitions. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental

and mixed techniques are welcome.
Awards: $900 cash awards, Inclusion in the Center's 2008 Exhibition Collection CD distributed worldwide, online subscriptions –

and more. For information and online submissions at The Center for Fine Art Photography, use the website or contact information

On June 25th 2009, CULTUREINSIDE.COM and GALERIE CLAIREFONTAINE will inaugurate an art exhibition entitled "ROOTED".

The show will consist of works by artists chosen competitively by a curatorial committee. The theme of the exhibition is an investigation, a visualization, a materialization or conceptualization of the term "Rooted". What is formative, grounding, or sustaining, for us as women, men, artists or citizens?  What are, Where are, How are we rooted in the world? Philosophically, phenomenologically, psychologically or spiritually, it is a thorny and complex issue. We are sure these questions can be addressed by artists in novel and interesting ways. The curators do not want to particularize the theme or parse it beyond a basic statement. We believe that the less said on the topic the better. Artists can identify or define it as they see fit. by Frank Shifreen, New York > Read more

MARCH

8ème édition de la Biennale internationale de la Photographie et des Arts visuels de Liège.
Comme pour les précédentes éditions, les organisateurs souhaitent faire découvrir au public la richesse de la jeune création dans les domaines de la photographie, de la vidéo, des installations multimédias et des arts numériques.
Un des objectifs de cette manifestation est de mettre en présence des artistes de renommée internationale ou confirmés avec des artistes émergents.
Les organisateurs lancent donc un appel a projet à destination des artistes, associations ou collectifs d’artistes résidant ou travaillant principalement en Belgique ou en Euregio Meuse-Rhin. Cet appel est destiné à soutenir des travaux artistiquement pertinents ou novateurs et qui font échos à la thématique développée dans les différentes expositions du festival.
La sélection des travaux sera opérée par l’équipe de la Biennale dans un souci de qualité, de cohérence et de pertinence vis à vis de la thémathique.
Les dossiers sélectionnés bénéficieront d’une aide à la production et/ou d’un soutien logistique en vue de leur présentation dans une des expositions officielles de BIP2010.

Inscriptions : max 15 mars 2011

Infos : Les Chiroux, Centre culturel de Liège  8, Place des Carmes - 4000 Liège.  T : +32(0)4.250.94.36 wendelski@chiroux.be / bip@chiroux.be
