The Audacity of Desperation: a call for work

Deadline March 10, 2008
Exhibition dates: April 4- May 11 at the Indy Media Center in Urbana, Il.
and in Los Angeles Fall 2008 at Sea and Space
Organized by Sarah Ross and Jessica Lawless

The Audacity of Desperation is an art exhibition, political action, and on-going dialogue. We are currently seeking distributable artworks addressing the topic of "desperation." In November 2008 something is going to change. The worst president ever will finally be voted out of the Whitehouse. But, as the infamous writing on the wall reads, IF VOTING CHANGED ANYTHING THEY'D MAKE IT ILLEGAL. Works should exist in multiples with the intention to be freely distributed to audiences. Media can include, but is not at all limited to: posters, stickers, stencils, zines, stamps- ink and postage - buttons, CD's/DVD's, postcards, t-shirts and manifestos.

Please send submissions, questions or inquires to: desperationexhibition@gmail.com
We prefer digital submissions. The file size does not need to reflect your final piece.

I was watching this movie about samurais who were werewolves too.
When I thought of the year 1962.
That was one year before JFK was assassinated. Hashassinated.
Five years before Sol Lewitt stated:

In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art. - Sol Lewitt "Paragraphs on Conceptual Art", Artforum, June 1967.

Then I thought, one can never brand an artwork "conceptual" unless one is certain that the artwork was made entirely by anyone but the artist who "conceptualized" it.

"One of the most telling signs of the political naiveté of liberals and the Left in the United States has been their steadfast faith in much of the worldview that blankets the imperial state they call home.  Nowhere has this critical failure been more evident than in their acceptance of the premise that there really is something called a 'war on terror' or 'terrorism'--however poorly managed its critics make it out to be--and that righting the course of this war ought to be this country's (and the world's) top foreign policy priority."

Don't believe the hype!
