Open Call for Networked Art
Deadline:
Mon Nov 01, 2010 00:00
Turbulence.org and Pace Digital Gallery announce an Open Call for Networked Art to be commissioned for the exhibition Turbulence.org @ PaceDigitalGallery 2.
Three commissions @ $3,000 will be awarded. The deadline for proposals is November 1. The works will premiere at Pace Digital Gallery and on Turbulence in April 2011.
The curators are seeking works that address the notion of “Levels | Hierarchies”, as in chains of command, levels of play, stages of life, degrees of comfort... Pace Digital Gallery is, itself, distributed across three floors of a building; within a broad stairwell to be precise. Practitioners are required to address the theme according to both the physical space and the distributed space of the Internet, where the works will permanently reside.
Those of you who live in New York are encouraged to visit the gallery to see the space (gallery hours are Tues - Fri, 12 - 5pm). On view through October 22, David Crawford: Retrospective. Otherwise, here are some images of the space.

RedRum
Dates:
Fri Jan 15, 2010 00:00 - Fri Jan 15, 2010
RedRum, at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, opens on Friday January 15th in Buffalo, New York. Opening 8-11pm, show runs through Feb 26th.
RedRum, its title a reference to The Shining where a boy predicts "redrum" (murder) before a hotel elevator bursts with blood and all hell breaks loose, is a video with a haunted horror theme. The scenes take us through a cavernous home where blood - a predominant prop in horror films - drips from faucets, runs down mirrors, and pools on floors. The camera reveals it's haunted source and visits neighbouring houses that also drip with blood, suggesting a murderous streak. RedRum, filmed on location in Buffalo in winter 2009, features teenaged actors, the Buffalo Soundpainting Ensemble, and Victorian homes of local residents.

Manifestos! Revolutions!
These manifestos and revolutions are rife with language, overflowing with meaning whether social, personal, technological, environmental, or political. These calls for action and declarations of change aren't necessarily forceful or loud but public and inclusive; life-changing and performative. Though they exist as online artworks these projects all began with live offline events.

More Fog Rolls in
Some images from the last of the fog fakery this week, and my last hikes (for now) through the woods surrounding Dufftown. Four more sleeps till Brooklyn…
The Fog
Starting new work, which I’ve been wanting to shoot for ages. Just worked out the details, locations, and the weather is finally (on April 4th) warm enough to linger outside without full Arctic gear. Here are some stills from the footage of two days filming.
The Fog…
New drawing… snapshots…
I completed a drawing this week that features all the ghostly masked figures in Valley of the Deer. Yet to be titled and photographed properly. These are studio details…
Drawing is 88″ X 29.5″ or 224cm X 75cm.

VALLEY OF THE DEER
“Canadian video artist Jillian McDonald spent much of the past year as ‘artist in residence’ at Glenfiddich Distillery, in the highlands of Scotland. As a Burns’ Night tribute to both Art and Whisky, IDEAS host Paul Kennedy visits her in Dufftown, and watches while she makes single-malted art.”
