Drunken Boat Design Contest
Drunken Boat , an international online journal of the arts, celebrates its 10th anniversary! Part of our conceptual origin has been in exhibiting works of art that use the medium of the Web as constitutive of meaning; with this in mind we are soliciting proposals for the design of a special 10th issue dedicated to arts and literature online. The winning designer receives a $2500 honorarium in return for designing the home page of a publication that attracts nearly half a million unique visitors per year.

PERMISSION
Contestants grant Drunken Boat permission to display a designer’s name, company name, client name and/or relevant design work at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.drunkenboat.com.
COPYRIGHT NOTICE
Drunken Boat assumes all submitted artwork is the property of the designer or design firm submitting the work. Drunken Boat will not be liable for any copyright infringement on the part of the contestant. All rights to the work will revert to the designer upon publication.
ETHICAL GUIDELINES
Drunken Boat reserves the right to revoke the award from any individual or company, whose artwork does not fall within the ethical guidelines set forth by the magazine, whether before, during or after the judging is complete. Fees are non-refundable once the entry has been submitted for any reason.
TERMS OF DELIVERY
The winner will receive a $2500 honorarium, payable upon launch date of the 10th anniversary issue. The winner will be responsible for all aspects of the home page design, including its interface with all other sections of the issue (particularly the 10 mini-sites). The winner must also be willing to work with other individuals, as needed, to enable completion of the issue in time for a Winter 2008/2009 launch.
DEADLINE
December 01 2008
RULES
The Drunken Boat Design Contest is open to designers from any discipline, from anywhere in the world, particularly individuals attuned to the potential dynamics of designing work online. We at Drunken Boat are open to any number of aesthetic models that might encompass this issue’s contents. Best of all would be an interactive / dynamic component that actively invites reader participation. The only parameters of the contest are that all of the home page designs must be structured to encompass a group of 10 mini-sites designed by Drunken Boat Web Editor / Site Designer Shawn M. McKinney. A sample of the visual design of the 10 mini-sites may be found here: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.drunkenboat.com/db10/designcontest
All entries will be considered potential home pages; some finalists may ultimately provide alternate home page designs.
NOTES
We don’t expect you to submit an entire Web site. We do expect you to provide us with a clear sense of the graphic “look and feel” of a home page, as well as a proposed system of navigation, for Drunken Boat, Issue No. 10. In addition, all proposed design elements must be aesthetically compatible with the 10 mini-sites mentioned previously. Although your email confirmation and digital artwork will be sufficient for our judges to assess your entry properly, contestants may physically mail design samples to allow for a more in-depth evaluation process. In any event, no materials will be returned (unless prior arrangement has been reached). Please submit disposable materials wherever possible.
We urge you to explore the archives of http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.drunkenboat.com. Take a look at some of the creative work we have published in the past, while you consider the design sensibility that has shaped previous issues. Also, you might want to read the “designer’s note” (essay) found in the Oulipo section of Drunken Boat, Issue No. 8. Locate it as follows: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.drunkenboat.com%2Fdb8 > oulipo > shawn m. mckinney > “Oulipo Redux: Extensible, Exegetic, Ex Post Facto.”
A spirit of collaboration is essential to the success of this contest and this special issue of Drunken Boat. The winning designer will be expected to work closely with a staff of designers and editors to complete the design of Issue No. 10. Mavericks need not apply.
If all we have at our disposal is language to articulate the world, its precision and meaning, in abstract form, how do we reconcile the stance that dialogue is nothing more than the congress of arbitrary conceits?

The Map: Navigating the Present
Dates:
Mon Oct 13, 2008 00:00 - Mon Oct 13, 2008
Location:
Sweden
The Map: Navigating the Present
12.10 - 8.2 2009
The exhibition The Map: Navigating the Present is a multi-faceted project of global contemporary culture. It takes a broad approach to maps and cartography of today; allowing for artistic, cultural, political and scientific practices to combine, meet and collide.
Contemporary art and visual culture will be engaged parallel with practices in cartography, cultural geography, political science, philosophy and linguistics. Altogether 36 projects address a wide variety of topics with a cartographic practice or an idea of mapping as the common denominator.
The public will encounter both maps and the work of making maps as sophisticated tools for knowing the world, of accessing the real, but also maps as producers/generators of alternative realities.
The Map: Navigating the Present is open at Bildmuseet from the 12th of October, 2008 to the 8th of February, 2009.

On Stage
Formed in Los Angeles in 1990, AUG has been true to their name and beliefs by playing political rallies and underground venues and anywhere that the doors are not closed. Creating a new sound that is still evolving, AUG captures the psyche and transcends to all ethnic groups, capturing a universal rhythm to convey their message of "self-determination and decolonization.
curator's statement
IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FIGHTING SOME KIND OF WAR.
I was 18 years old in 1969, and my draft number was 31. That fatal number (for those who didn’t want to be drafted) began my involvement in anti-war activities, and supporting a national agenda of peace. I have always been in the opposition, it seems, because the wars just keep coming. Because I am a’ person of conscience’ the specter and reality of war has threaded through my life in ways that have changed who I am and how I view the world, and how I interact with persons around me.
In “War As A Way of Life” I am looking at the phenomena of how people who are exposed to long term effects of war change and mutate and perhaps become something else altogether. Yesterday Ingmar Bergman died, and I recalled his movie, “Shame.” It was his provocative answer to the Vietnam war, depicting how ordinary, civilized people are transformed when war suddenly overtakes them. This is the kind of sensibility I am hoping to bring to “War As A Way of Life”, to look at how different communities respond to conflict as a constant refrain in their daily lives.
War can be in Iraq, it can be in our own city, it can be in our heads. Whether it is a mis- -begotten foreign adventure run by incompetent politicians and corrupt industrialists, a neighborhood terrified of the gangs that control it, or our own psyches polluted with media images of slashers, serial killers, and action stars, violence is transformative. The responses are varied, and I will be asking the artists in the project to look closely at their personal, very human responses. In terms of the overall project at 18th Street, ‘Future of Nations’ of which “War As A Way of Life is one of the themes, an understanding of what is happening to our collective psyche is critical to transformative change which is positive and proactive.
