‘DIY SURVIVAL’ (There is no Subculture, only Subversion).
For everybody out there who has not replied yet but think of doing it:
hurry up! the deadline for submission is 1st September 2005
C6 invite submissions for a forthcoming publication on strategies,
methods and techniques of DIY art practices. We are seeking
innovative, critical and radical approaches to diverse art practice
and organization focused on how to produce art unbound by market,
commerce, and whitecubes. The aim is to produce a guide of tactical
means for collective art making.
We are looking for a wide range of perspectives, essays, case
studies, artworks and interviews to articulate and promote the idea
of self generative cultural events and the collective production of
art. Contributions from artists, activists, cultural producers, and
other related professionals are welcome.
C6 wish to keep the possible topics vague enough for
interpretation, a starting point may be:
• Ethos, history and politics of DIY art and culture
• Occupation of territories
• Culture jamming, guerrilla art practices
• Strategies of audience engagement
• Tales of endurance, invention and uncompromising passion
• Resistance and the creation of communities
• Question of authorship/ownership in collaborative systems
Keywords: community, digital, tactical, strategic, interactive,
intervention, pervasive, collective, fine art sausage machine.
Deadline for submission is 1st September 2005. Entries, comments
and queries can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The book launch event will be on the 29th of October at the c6 show
‘SOLD OUT’ in Cremer street Shoreditch London.
We are currently looking at approximately a 60 page book, A5 black
and white with limited graphics, printed in size 6 inches by 9
perfect bound (like a magazine spine).This edition will be
presented at the c6 show ‘SOLD OUT’ in October.
The book then will go to Print on demand where a prospective buyer
will order the one copy he or she wants. Price of the book online
will be its cost price that stands at a £2.50 plus postage.
The work will be a collection of articles, case studies and how to
\'s about engaging the public using the strategies that are
associated with tactical art. We are limited to the amount of
graphics we can have but will consider them.
Authors will receive a copy and can also distribute via the web
ordering system that we will set up. This is about disseminating
material via a print medium which we have found to be essential in
reaching some people.
Thank you for your interest we look forward to your submission.
