Evolutionary Girls Club
Deadline: 05/31/08

The Evolutionary Girls Club is a group of artist, activists and scholars. Our membership is made of folks working in many media. You can read more about us at www.evolutionarygirls.com.

Each year we publish a book that focuses on the work of our members. In addition we include featured artists who have submitted works that can be connected to the conceptual theme for that years book.

Our next book publication (2008-09), will focus on the creation and structure of borders and voice in context with global and domestic relationships and of how we define ourselves in these terrains as artists, educators, activists, scholars and witnesses. It is our hope that, by facilitating these discussions, we can explore how and where they overlap, share commonalities, generate constructive conflict and demonstrate how we 'mind the gap.'

For more information or specifics of the book please send emails to t.smelt@mac.com.

College Book Art Association
Biennial Conference

University of Iowa Center for the Book
Deadline: 06/01/08

Art, Fact, and Artifact: The Book in Time and Place
January 8-10, 2009
Hosted by the University of Iowa Center for the Book

The art of the book has been at once visionary and documentary, imagining a future that has yet to exist while finding inspiration from the resources of the past. The first biennial conference of the College Book Art Association seeks to bridge the worlds of book art, book history, cultural criticism, and curatorial work through appreciation of the book as an aesthetic sensorium.
Along with session programming, the conference agenda will include exhibits, tours of facilities, open discussion time, and portfolio review.

For the conference program, the organizers invite submissions for individual presentations, pre-formed panels, and studio demonstrations.
Proposals Due June 1, 2008
