Agency of Unrealized Projects

Unlike unrealized architectural projects, which are frequently exhibited and circulated, unrealized artworks tend to remain unnoticed or little known. But perhaps there is another form of artistic agency in the partial expression, the incomplete idea, the projection of a mere intention? Agency of Unrealized Projects (AUP) seeks to document and display these works, in this way charting the terrain of a contingent future.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The Calabi Portal Project RFQ

This is the first exploratory stage of a project which is a laboratory for
ideas and the imagination.

This competition is open to visionary designers, artists, architects, and
scientists, and any collaborative combination. All designs will be
theoretical. No background or experience in engineering, construction, or
actual fabrication materials is required as the structure will be
self-generating and assembling.

The challenge is to conceive of the possibilities of an architectural

A new joint media project provides funds for documentary makers.

Until January 2012, The Economist and PBS NewsHour are funding short documentaries from Abu Dhabi to Albuquerque on a range of topics from astronomy to agriculture.

The aim of The Economist Film Project is to showcase the selected segments, films and filmmakers as broadly as possible.

The project seeks submissions of completed documentary films on a rolling basis continuing monthly through January 2012.

Both documentary shorts and feature-length films may be submitted. The Economist will provide filmmakers whose films are chosen with a grant of US$4,000 to produce six to eight minutes of footage from the film to air on PBS NewsHour.

Filmmakers from around the world who focus on social issues can enter a contest.

The Media That Matters Film Festival highlights short films on the most important topics of the day for local, global, and online communities with the goal of engaging audiences and inspiring them to take action.

Now in its 11th edition, any and all issues will be considered. This year, however, organizers are particularly interested in films focusing on disability rights, interfaith dialogue and religious tolerance, bias-based bullying, gender equality and youth activism. The contest is open to documentaries, narratives, animations, music videos, public service announcements, dramas, comedies and other hybrid types of films. You can watch last year's winners here.
