CALL FOR ART

A Call For Works : TEXTILE 11 / KAUNAS BIENNIAL , LITHUANIA
GEORGE MACIUNAS AND BEYOND : FLUXUS NEVER STOPS OPENS OCTOBER 2011

Dear Artist,
In conjunction with the Kaunas Biennial, I have been asked to curate an exhibition relating to the history and current activities of FLUXUS artists and affiliates. The concept for the show is as broad as you can make it. The show’s title “GEORGE MACIUNAS AND BEYOND : FLUXUS NEVER STOPS” relates in part to an homage of George in his hometown, Kaunas, and a celebration of his “local hero” status, as well as an exposure of continuity in the FLUXUS community . ( In the struggle to find an appropriate title for the show, I have to tip my hat to Ben Vautier, as I snagged the second half from his newsletter title last month . ) Thank You, Ben.
To achieve this, I’m calling on you to send a small, or easily transportable work to represent you in this exhibition. The Kaunas Biennial is a Fibers / Textile based exhibition, but don’t let that put any limits on your interpretation. Works to be sent could include Sound, Video, Books, Boxworks, Installed work, Etc.. just remember to keep it light weight and compact for shipping, as I’ll be cataloging, crating and shipping everything from my workspace in St. Louis.
As this is a Curated Exhibition, I’ve put this call for work out to artists directly associated with FLUXUS in its first, second, and current generations, but I’m sure that I’ve not contacted everyone who should be represented. As one of the more recent artists to be working in flux, I’ve had little opportunity yet to be in contact with many of you, and my thanks go to Larry Miller for helping me to distribute this call throughout the community. As well, if you know of others who should be included in this show, Please forward the information on to them.
In addition to the exhibition, and in the spirit of the “Eternal Network”, I will be listing an open call for Mail Art to be exhibited concurrently. This will allow for a much more open feel to the show, without limits of who can participate, and will allow for additional interpretation on current states of flux.
The exhibition will open on October 4th, 2011, with a week of FLUXUS Performance and Activities. Two other artists from the U.S. have already committed to join me in Kaunas, and the invitation is open to anyone who would like to join us there. As the budget for the show is small, I’m sorry that there would be no stipend or travel expenses, but I’m sure that we could find some lodging, although that may be in the form of a shared room or a couch. If you can get there, we will make it work ! Also, If you have a particular score that you would like to have performed, send a copy, and we’ll make sure that it is included.



Following the Biennial in Kaunas the works will tour, I am currently trying to schedule stops in Hungary, Germany, and New York throughout 2012, If you know of an additional venue, please forward the information and I will make contact.
Thank you all in advance, I’m sure that we can make this a fun and informative show, as well as a wonderful tribute to George, in his own hometown.
Peace,
- Keith A. Buchholz

Please send Secrets in any medium to both galleries.
(secrets, about secrets, your secrets, other’s secrets, secrets that please, secrets that release, secrets that make people free,)


Your ENVELOPES* containing secrets are for display in the exhibitions. Gallery visitors may select from these envelopes on the condition that they themselves reveal secrets in exchange. These will be posted back to the artists selected; and this ongoing process of ‘selection’ will continuously alter the display throughout the period of the exhibition.

For our use, please include an INFORMATION PAGE*** with each envelope (dimensions below). This page is for our records and will be removed from the envelope. The page should include the following:
1. Name, address, email contact, facebook, etc.
2. Name of your work.
3. From whom (e.g. person, facebook etc) did you hear about The SECREt eXCHANGE?
4. What are the areas of your ‘practise’ (in prioritized order)?
5. Other information, verbal or visual, of your choice, including back of the page.
See below for the size of the Information Page.
So that the Information Page may be removed, DO NOT SEAL THE ENVELOPE. Envelopes can be, if needed, kept closed with vertical strips of sticky tape.
Exchanged secrets and documentation will be sent to you.
Please pass this invitation on by all means at your disposal (facebook, email, rumour).


......details.............................................................................
Re: ENVELOPE SIZE (*) Standard business envelope sizes are our preferred maximum, however, the preference is not a restriction
Re: INFORMATION PAGES SIZE (***) Pages are A4-size vertical. North Americans should use Legal Size which can be cut down to A4 (8 ½ “x 11 ¾). A margin for book-binding of 4 cm (roughly 1 ¾”) should be left empty on the left-hand side of the page. The backs of sheets may also be used for any additional material of your choice.
When secrets are sent in addition to the initial two, the enclosed Information Pages only need your name, address, title of work – and whatever else you choose to include. Leave the bottom 1/3 of the page empty for our entries.
Anything you choose can go on all of the back of the page.
Re: FACEBOOK/THE SECRET EXCHANGE List your participation by Liking the SECREt eXCHANGE in FaceBook at ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/SECREt-eXCHANGE/204968246197476?sk=info); establish a record of your work by scanning, photographing, copying relevant parts (tantalizing, intriguing) for your own pages and ours by Friending in FaceBook at (https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100000748977585) , or send to not.terryreid@hotmail.com. We also suggest that you keep copies of work for your own exhibitions, publication, publicity, other and archival purposes.
Note: The SECRET EXCHANGE is an ongoing project, first publicly implemented in 1976, it will be continuing into the future in morphing form, guise, disguise.
