Introduction
Many Tajiks are aware that for those cell phone users who have a plan with the Central Asian telecommunications company named Babilon, the first ten seconds of any phone call are free. To take advantage of this freebee, strategic users have developed a new art form - the ten second conversation.

World Community Arts Day 17/02/10
" ART AS A CATALYST FOR CARING AND SHARING"
http://www.communiversity.org.uk/worldcommunityartsday.htm

To create a World Festival Society for a day.

becoming part of the problem or respond creatively and become part of the
solution."

You are invited to be part of a global celebration on 17/02/10.

All we ask of you on that day is to do an arts project, however small or
big. Be creative about an issue that you believe promotes "caring and
sharing". Song, dance, theatre, draw, paint, write, make, poem, photograph,
lecture, walk, tour, talk, art class anyway that you feel you are creative!

Performance Studies international, call for proposals, deadline Nov. 15

Call for Proposals

Annual Conference of Performance Studies international PSi 16 Performing Publics Toronto, 9-13 June 2010

PSi 16, Performing Publics, will take place in Toronto as part of a collaboration between York University’s Faculty of Fine Arts and the Ontario College of Art & Design. The conference will investigate the power of performance to intervene in, reshape, and reinvigorate the public sphere at the beginning of the twenty-first century. We invite proposals that take up notions of “public” in a variety of ways, pointing to the critically generative and fraught aspects of the term as it has been adopted within performance studies.

Rise&Fall is a mobile art installation and music event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The exhibition features artwork interpreting the theme 'bringing down walls/breaking down barriers' (both literally and symbolically) and music performed by Turkish-German DJ/Producer, DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu. Artists, from amateur to professional, are invited to submit digital versions of their art along with a short description of what 'bringing down walls' means to them - either as directly related to the Berlin Wall or on a more symbolic, personal, cultural or social level. The goal is to create an interactive environment that celebrates freedom without barriers and what that looks like to all kinds of people.

From LA Culture Net:

Dear Artists,

This coming Friday September 18th, we celebrate Park[ing] Day LA, when artists, architects, designers, restaurant owners, various businesses, neighborhood councils, and activists will step up to the curb, put a quarter into the meter, and create a temporary park in a parking space.

Park[ing] Day originated in 2005 when Rebar, a San Francisco based art and design collective, transformed a metered parking spot into a park-for-a-day in an effort to make a public comment on the lack of quality open space in American cities.

I've been involved with Park[ing] Day in Los Angeles (and have created all of LA's online presence), since it's beginning in 2007 and I would love for LA Culture Net readers to be involved in this fun event.
