Call For Artists:
Submissions may be submitted online (see below) or dropped off in person to the Popular Library Department c/o Steve Kemple on the first floor of the Main Library.
WORKS FOR A PREPARED LIBRARY
The Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County is seeking submissions & performers for a one-night exhibition of works based on chance operations. This special edition of Experimental Music at the Library will feature experimental music, performances, video art, & other time-based media, as well as a free publication of two-dimensional & text based work.
- Combining existing ideas is an interesting way of making new ideas. Chance operations are an interesting way of combining things.
- Libraries are full of existing ideas. Libraries are also a public space.
- Let's use the library as source material for making & presenting new ideas in a public space!
Experimental Music at the Library is a monthly performance series designed to bring experimental music, performance art, and other time-based media to a wider audience. It has garnered local & national attention & was recently featured in Library Journal. Previous events in the series have included a live circuit-bent soundtrack to W.F. Murnau's Nosferatu & performance art from the Brooklyn-based collective Panoply Performance Laboratory.
Works for a Prepared Library will be on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 7pm at the Main Library downtown.
TEXT / IMAGE WORKS
Artists Chris Luessen & Tory Keith are curating a zine to accompany the exhibition. The zine will include both text & images. Submissions should pertain to chance operations & be in black & white or grayscale.
TIME BASED WORKS
Using chance operations, create a work that can be shown or performed in 2 minutes & 16 seconds. For purposes of this exhibition, time-based works are defined as art/music performance, video, sound, &/or spoken word.
Deadline for all submissions is Friday, February 22, 2013 at 11:47pm.
GUIDELINES
In your submission, please describe how the work(s) use chance operations & will use the library as a source. Free interpretation of "chance operations" and "library" is encouraged.
There is no limit to the number of works a group or individual artist can submit. Performance works may be submitted as a detailed description along with documentation of past work. Submissions must be in .doc, .pdf, .mov, or .mp3 format. Please title all of your files with your last name & first name followed by the number of the documentation (e.g. lastname_firstname_001.jpg). Each submission should include the following:
- Cover page with contact information.
- List of works submitted. Include title, corresponding file name(s), format/media, & a brief description.
- Work(s) and/or applicable documentation.
Submissions should be suitable for all ages.
Important for live performance works: Because this event will take place in the span of an hour and a half & we want to present as many works as possible, preference will be given to performances that entail minimal setup. For sound & experimental music performances, please be prepared to scale your volume to the space. See here for details about the space.

mend piece
hello friends!
i have started a new project that i would like to share with you because it needs participation!
what:
do you have items that need mending? i would like to help you. if you don't mind a "home mend" (less professional than a "professional mend"), please contact me with the item and details of the mend-in-need. i will do my best to make a lovely mend.
why:
a few weeks ago, my friend cayla shared this instruction from yoko ono: “Mend an object. As you mend, you mend something inside your soul as well. You mend something in the world as well.” i quite enjoy mending- it shows a well-loved item is one worth saving (loving more). mending for oneself, although satisfying, is not really communicating with others. doing another’s mending, however, is sharing action in which i would like to participate.
how:
my email address is elodie.freeman@gmail.com, but you may choose to contact me via your preferred method of exchange.
also:
i would like to help out friends-of-friends or strangers. if you know of someone who has a large to-do mend pile, please let them know about this project. if you see a stranger who needs a mend and appears they would not be offended if you suggested it, give them my contact information.
thank you!
