Yekaterinburg Koltsovo airport in Russia announces the beginning of the international exhibition project ILLUMINATORS which will be shown in April – June 2008 in the open spaces of the International terminal of the airport.

The works for the exhibitions will be selected on a competitive basis by an international award panel.

The organizers invite the artists to submit digital prints and digital video in the form of «tondo» to the competition. The exhibition will show modern versions of tondo, the form of pictures with ancient traditions.

The organizers accept electronic files of works which can be reproduced as digital prints, light boxes, video objects/installations and video projections. The organizers are going to challenge the interior environment of the international terminal of the Koltsovo airport. Visually the exposition will be represented by numerous round spots of lights floating/hovering free in the airport cubage.

Any artists working in the field of new media are invited to apply.

DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS: MONDAY FEBRUARY 11

ABC No Rio, the Lower East Side arts center, is now organizing its fifth biannual Ides of March building-wide exhibition, scheduled to open on Friday March 14. The exhibition will run through April 4. The 2008 Ides will be expressly focused on collaborative projects and artist groups and collectives. We are inviting proposals from 'teams' of collaborating artists, as well as from existing artist groups and collectives for proposals for 'mini' exhibitions or installations. As in the past, we are open to all media, but space considerations will dictate any proposal's feasibility.

Two meetings will be held at ABC No Rio to conduct walk-throughs of the building and talk about the particulars of the exhibition. At least two representatives from any collaborating 'team' orexisting artist group or collective must attend one of these meetings.

These meetings are scheduled for MONDAY JANUARY 28 at 7:00pm and TUESDAY JANUARY 29 at 7:00pm. Project proposal forms will be available at these meetings. Please RSVP to abc@abcnorio.org

Artists proposing collaborative projects will be asked to describe and characterize their collaborative process. Existing artist groups and collectives will be asked to describe how their proposed 'mini' exhibition or installation will achieve a sense of cohesion and unity or singleness of purpose. We have a special interest in proposals that address or incorporate work remaining on the walls from past Ides of March exhibitions. Finally, we're interested in proposals for performances, screenings and other public presentations that would occur on evenings during the run of the exhibition.

ABC No Rio is a non-profit arts space that was settled in 1980 as a squat by artists. If you want to know more about ABC No Rio, check out this recent article on the space at: http://www.wiretapmag.org/movement/43369/.
