[Nettime-ro] CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS_Ersatz Group Exhibition

[stefan rusu <suhebator@gmail.com>]

In lieu of a juried member's exhibition, Camerawork has chosen to craft an
exhibition with a more egalitarian outline and it's open to everyone! Hence
the title: *Ersatz Group Exhibition*—meaning literally a substitute group
exhibition—in reference to our shift away from the juried exhibition model.
Utilizing the strategies and conceptual links of mail art allows for a more
inclusive process with a broad reach. The idea is provide a service to help
artists meet one another, help artists promote their work and to get their
work in front of a large group of international curators. Artworks mailed in
should reflect each artists' practice in some way, think of it as an
advertisement for yourself! This Wikipedia link provides useful background
on the history of mail art: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_art Several
artists and curators were consulted about what would be most beneficial to
artists and all of those suggestions have been included within the structure
of the exhibition:

YOUR WORK WILL BE FEATURED IN AN *EXHIBITION*:
Your *lens-based or photo-referential* work will be included in an
exhibition at SF Camerawork from June 4 to August 22, 2009.

YOUR WORK WILL BE FEATURED IN A *PUBLICATION*:
A reproduction of your contributed artwork, name, and personal website URL
will be included in the exhibition catalog, available mid-summer 2009 via
blurb.com and as a PDF download via sfcamerawork.org Curators Lawrence
Rinder and Evelyne Jouanno will tour the exhibition and respond to the work
by contributing a text to this publication.

YOUR WORK WILL BE FEATURED ON *CAMRAWORK'S WEBSITE ARTIST LINKS PAGE*:
Artists' personal website URLs will be included on the sfcamerawork.org links
page as a resource for curators.

YOUR WORK IS INCLUDED IN AN *INTERNATIONAL GIFT EXCHANGE*:
In the spirit of a creative exchange economy, once the exhibition closes all
participants will receive a work from the exhibition to be redistributed
randomly with the Fall/Winter issue of *Camerawork: A Journal of
Photographic Arts* in September 2009. Your own work will not be returned to
you.

YOUR WORK COULD BE ON *THE COVER OF CAMERAWORK'S JOURNAL*:
One (or more) work(s) will be chosen for the cover of the fall issue
of *Camerawork:
A Journal of Photographic Arts.*
