yours truly,
Meg, Taisha, and Rae


Call for submissions to itch #4!
Subject:  E v i d e n c e

How might we record our efforts, in a way that might inspire new ways of
thinking about art, or living in general?


thoughts from the itch generator:

How might we act as our own historians?
  Capture the ephemeral. define it, serenade it, critique it, massage  
it in to
being
      Create an unprecedented moment or scenario that can be documented
         Consider, through action, what it means to be controversial,  
proactive,
performative
            Invent scenarios that intervene in the everyday
               Be the see-er and notice what goes unnoticed
                  Be the seen and challenge inappropriate view-er-ship
                     Make history. interview a mentor or other artist  
that you
or other people would like to get to know
                         Start a dialogue (or fight) across disciplines,
desires, aesthetics, politics, etc
                             Make a scene

For the fourth issue of itch we are asking for submissions that are  
evidence of
an experience, process, intervention, or experiment. Please submit a
transcription, description and/or translation of an event you created,
witnessed, or facilitated. Documents (drawings, receipts, maps,  
equations, still
images, etc) may accompany your submission, keeping in mind it must  
be small
scale and legible in black and white photocopy. As always,  
experimentation is
welcomed.

Also, for our rolling dialogue section, please submit your responses  
to issue
#3: Systems of Support.

D E A D L I N E:  M O N D A Y  J A N U A R Y  1 5.
