To suggest a paper for either of the next two seminars, please send a 200 word proposal and biographical note to Dr. Reuben Fowkes by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2007.

Documentation of the first four SocialEast Seminars on Art and Ideology, Art and Documentary, Art and Revolution and Art and Memory, which were held in Manchester, Budapest and Zagreb 2006-7 can be found on the SocialEast Forum website www.socialeast.org SocialEast Seminar Series 2007-8 Two SocialEast Seminars will be held during 2007-8 to address the topics of Art and Empire and the Legacy of 1968. The seminars will be accompanied by a contemporary art programme, including exhibitions, artist presentations and film screenings. No.5 Art and Empire Manchester, 17 November 2007 This seminar considers the issue of colonisation as a historical problem in the relationship between the Soviet Union and the countries of the Eastern Bloc, examining whether cultural imperialism during the Cold War should be understood as a complex two-way process. It will also include discussion of the issue of the relationship of Eastern European contemporary art with the West, in terms of the activities and interests of art institutions, curators and collectors in a post-socialist global art economy. No.6 The Legacy of 1968 Venue to be confirmed, May 2008 This seminar will examine the multiple legacies of 1968 for contemporary art in terms of new artistic practices involving dematerialisation, performance and the use of new media; social and institutional critique; as well as the impact of political upheavals on art. It will also consider the contemporary implications of the social movements and artistic radicalism of 1968 against the backdrop of the organised commemoration of the 40th anniversary, as well as the specificities of the experience of 1968 in the countries of Eastern Europe. -- ___ H-ARTHIST Humanities-Net Discussion List for Art History E-Mail-Liste fuer Kunstgeschichte im H-Net Fragen an die Redaktion / Editorial Board Contact Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beitraege bitte an / Submit contributions to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.arthist.net ___ __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre

The festival aims at presenting those works to a broad audience, at creating circulations between different art practices and between different audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists, filmmakers and professionals.

[spectre] (fwd) Hitchhiking to Transilvania - 1-31 August 2007
Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2007 22:12:24 +0300 From: Fundatia Culturala Meta [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: nettime-ann Hitchhiking to Transilvania - 1-31 august 2007 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Hitchhiking to Transylvania - collaborative video art project* 1 ñ 31 August 2007** *Concept: *Iuliana Varodi // www.morisena.org *m **o r i s e n a** ** *offers a space for international collaborative art projects, seminars on ecology, sustainability, contemporary art related issues, summer camps and at times a dorm for backpackers:: About 7 video artists from north and south, east and west will be invited to hitchhike to Transylvania. On the way, they will record images, sounds / music representing whatever charms or intrigues them. The meeting point is Morisena, the centre for art residencies, cultural exchange and local development established in Sangeorgiu de Mures, on the 1st of August 2007. The first week will be devoted to time for the artists to get familiar with each other, to watch each others material and to figure out a way of working together and to decide about the ways the material will be used for the final film, for example recomposing fragments according to a script to be written together. Artists may need to shoot some more material on the spot / in the surroundings. The last week will be reserved for the editing and final processing of the film. At the end of August a screening will take place at Teatru 74 (in Targu Mures). Dissemination, as well as a DVD publishing and spreading through our network will be provided. The movie will be presented submitted to various art / alternative film festivals. Morisena will provide the necessary technology for editing as well as food and lodging during the project. The conditions will be quite basic, and together we'll make sure the place will be clean, messy and cozy. There will be homemade wine, jams, bread and more, all produced at Morisena from fruits and vegtables coming mainly from our own (and neighboring) gardens. *Continuity and follow up*: in 2008 we intend to have the film travelling back to the original departure points of each artist, with a team of caravans leaving Morisena at the same time and stopping on the road to various locations ñ at centres that would be interested in discussing the film. Various screenings can take place simultaneously, followed by round table discussions and teleconferences via webcams in order to discuss issues such as identity of the traversed spaces etc. This project can be developed in collaboration with SODAart (www.sodaart.at) in the context of their NOMAD project, that can provide the needed caravans equipped with all it takes for screenings and round-table discussions.
