Arts Wire Current- October 16
LITERARY MAGAZINE KIOSK WILL PLACE LITERARY MAGAZINES DIRECTLY IN THE HANDS OF READERSSmall Press Distribution (SPD) and The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) have launched a new website designed to place literary magazines from across the country directly in the hands of readers.The Literary Magazine Kiosk -- http://www.litmagkiosk.com -- is a groundbreaking Internet sales venue created by nonprofit literary organizations for the benefit of literary magazines and their readers. Currently featuring 50 literary magazines, this online newsstand will enable a diverse range of the nation's poets, fiction writers, and essayists to reach the widest available audience. "Literary magazines are perhaps the nation's greatest source of new and challenging writing," says Susan Kenny, CLMP's Interim Executive Director. "Important American writers such as Rita Dove, Rick Moody and Philip Roth published their first work in literary magazines. But in a marketplace dominated by mainstream publications and mainstream distributors interested primarily in giant circulation magazines, literary magazines have an uphill battle reaching readers." THE GEORGIA REVIEW's Business Manager Brenda Keen explains that because distributors are accustomed to working with commercial magazines with a short shelf life, The Georgia Review is often pulled from bookstores soon after it arrives, "even though its content is timeless. Not only will The Literary Magazine Kiosk make literary magazines readily available, it will also provide users with links to web pages that show a generous sampling of current and past issues. We are excited to see the literary community join together in bringing this service to the public," she states on the CLMP website. The Literary Magazine Kiosk links directly to SPD's online fulfillment system. Single-copy purchases can be made with a simple "click" which takes the user to SPD's magazine shopping cart. Shipping is free. "The mission of The Literary Magazine Kiosk is to connect the many readers interested in contemporary writing with some of the best magazines publishing it," says Laura Moriarty, SPD's Director of Marketing and Acquisitions. "By making these magazines easily available, and by eliminating the cost of shipping, CLMP and SPD will also cultivate and expand the audience for independent publishing." The 50 magazines available through The Literary Magazine Kiosk include established titles such as AGNI, THE GEORGIA REVIEW, FICTION, KENYON REVIEW, and the SEWANEE REVIEW, and up-and-comers such as BARROW STREET, FENCE, FIVE POINTS, MANY MOUNTAINS MOVING, and 3RD BED. The website offers magazines with diverse geographic, ethnic, and stylistic sensibilities -- with the common goal of presenting the best literary work of the nation's emerging and established writers. Small Press Distribution, based in Berkeley, California, is a nonprofit wholesaler of literary presses and magazines which represents more than 500 publishers nationwide. The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses, based in New York City, is the national nonprofit membership organization for literary magazines and presses. CLMP exists to serve, support, and advocate on behalf of US independent literary publishers. The Literary Magazine Kiosk is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds as part of CLMP/SPD's New Readers for New Writers program. New Readers for New Writers is a one-year pilot program that aims to make literary magazines more readily available to bookstores, libraries and individual buyers through subsidized distribution and a series of concurrent marketing activities. For a full list of participating magazines, please visit the website at http://www.litmagkiosk.com or contact Susan Kenny at CLMP at (212) 741-9110 ext. 18.

CONFERENCES PROVIDE NEW VENUES FOR ART AND ARTISTSFrom the College Art Association's (CAA) Annual Conference, now heading into its 90th year, to one time or new conferences which address current issues -- such as DIGITAL INDEPENDENCE 2001 which last January addressed creative and financial opportunities in the digital media revolution and their impact on independent mediamakers -- conferences have become an important communications component in the contemporary arts landscape.Although substantial fees and travel expenses (which are likely to be out of pocket for unaffiliated artists) tend to exclude individual artists, conferences are increasingly becoming showcases for contemporary art, offering artists the chance to participate through associated exhibitions and performances. For instance, last year in Washington, DC, a week of dance performances at the Kennedy Center coincided with the DANCING IN THE MILLENNIUM Conference, and in Paris, France, ISEA2000, THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTRONIC ART hosted performances of electronic music, dance, as well as a series of interactive installations -- all held throughout the city during the December, the month of the conference. SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC EDUCATION (SPE) conferences usually feature concurrent exhibitions and screenings. This year, in Savannah, Georgia at THE 2001 NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC EDUCATION (SPE) filmmaker Zeinabu Davis screened her latest film, COMPENSATION for the 38th annual SPE gathering of photographic artists, educators and professionals, and SPE Imagemaker presentations included "Subliminal Narratives: Photographs by Stephen Althouse"; Barbara Jo Revelle - "Consuming Mexico" and J. Seeley - "35 Years as an Artistic Misfit" In Palm Springs, CA, this April, the ASSOCIATED WRITING PROGRAMS (AWP) 2001 CONFERENCE included Web Fair 2001 which featured the work of writers, poets, teachers, technical gurus, editors, and new media artists of all kinds. Readings included a Graywolf Press Reading with Fiona McCrae, moderator, Dana Gioia, Fred Marchant, Clint McCown, Jason Shinder, Catie Rosemurgy, Alyson Hagy, and Natasha Tretheway as well as readings from WORD OF MOUTH: AN ANTHOLOGY OF GAY AMERICAN POETRY with Timothy Liu, moderator, D.A. Powell, Aaron Shurin, and David Trinidad. In Atlanta, GA, this May, OPERA America's 31ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE: E-MERGING TRADITIONS featured its third annual New Works Sampler. Excerpts from recent or newly- composed North American operas, operas not yet premiered, and new works which had received successful European premieres were performed by artists and alumni from Houston Grand Opera Studio and Lyric Opera Center for American Artists. In Woodstock, VT, also in May, The New England Artists Trust's (NEAT) Artists Congress ARTS & ENVIRONMENT: MAKING THE GREEN hosted a Performing Artists Showcase, visual arts exhibitions, poetry readings, and indoor and outdoor installations. In addition to exhibitions, performances and presentations, arts conferences also present speakers whose arts saturated talks enrich conference proceedings. For instance, this July, in New York City, NY, organized by the Public Art Network, (PAN) a program of Americans for the Arts, the PARTICIPATE 2001 Preconference COMPEL + PROVOKE: PUBLIC ART 2001 offered opportunities to exchange ideas, share new approaches and engage in critical dialogue on public art. Highlights included a keynote address by artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and a Year Review session featuring new and innovative public art nationwide. Composer William Bolcom, whose recent operas include MCTEAGUE and A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, presented the Keynote Address at this year's OPERA America conference. The featured speaker at NEAT's Artists Congress was public artist Michael Singer, whose work includes garden, landscape, and outdoor environment and infrastructure projects. At the ROLE OF LIVE THEATRE IN A DIGITAL CULTURE, Theatre Communications Group's (TCG) conference in Philadelphia last June -- which featured among other performances, writer and performer Dael Orlandersmith's THE GIMMICK -- Ben Cameron noted in his closing remarks to the Conference: "I sat transfixed during the subtle performance politics of Douglas Rushkoff, [CYBERIA, MEDIA VIRUS, PLAYING THE FUTURE, and the novel ECSTASY CLUB] with his music stand and stool establishing him as an intellectual jazz artist, riffing on the implications of this new digital Renaissance, insisting on suspicion and irony as earmarks of a young audience, urging us to stand beside the transparency of our medium rather than mask it in the illusory mysticism of media programming, reminding us of our work as not-for-profit artists, in making us aware of the negotiations underway for consensus reality, playing the jester and criticizing the king without getting our heads cut off."

THE IMPACT OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WTC ON THE ARTS COMMUNITY - A REVIEW OF ARTS WIRE COVERAGENEW YORK CITY, NY -- On the morning of September 11, 2001, two hijacked planes flew into the towers of the World Trade Center, and in the heat of the ensuing massive fire, the twin towers crumpled.Sculptor Michael Richards, whose studio in the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's (LMCC) World Views residency program was on the 92nd floor of Tower One, was killed. Over 90 arts organizations were impacted. Located at 5 World Trade Center, (WTC) the offices of the LMCC were destroyed. The studio of the experimental theater company 3-Legged Dog, located in the shadow of the WTC, was also demolished. The artists in the World Views residency program lost a substantial amount of their work. The resultant losses will continue to be devastating for arts community -- with many artists and arts organizations suffering losses of income and work space. Theaters in the area were particularly hard hit by income loss. But across New York City, artists, arts administrators, and arts organizations rallied to help the victims. And the arts community worked together to raise spirits -- collaborating in city wide arts events (both organized and spontaneous) and, as Alan Lynes, Director of Education, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, eloquently stated, "sharing art in times of great sorrow." As we pause to remember the dead, to plan the work needed to heal our community's corporal and spiritual wounds, and to seek the necessary resources, this issue reviews Arts Wire Current's coverage of the tragic events of September 11 and their devastating aftermath.

Funding/Opportunites for OrganizationsNEH PUBLIC PROGRAM GRANTS FOR MEDIA PROJECTS -- PLANNING GRANTS DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2001Media projects which use film and radio, along with companion materials, such as DVDs, datacasting, and websites, to bring quality humanities programming to the public are funded by The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Public Program Grants for Media Projects. To qualify for NEH support, media projects must: address significant subjects in the humanities; reach broad public audiences; grow out of sound scholarship; and use imaginative, engaging formats. The goal of NEH media projects is broadcast on television and radio. Television and film projects should be designed for national broadcast in prime-time hours. Radio projects may be designed for either national or broad regional carriage. The Endowment is also interested in companion digital projects, such as datacasting, DVDs, and interactive websites that expand the content of broadcast programs and provide the audience with ways to explore material beyond the broadcast. Applicants are encouraged to coordinate the development and production of the broadcast program with the digital companion. Proposals for media projects may be for documentary programs or historical dramatizations. Dramatic adaptations of literary works are not eligible for funding. Applications for film and television projects may be for single programs or for multi-part series. Applications for radio projects may be for a series to be broadcast independently or for segments to be broadcast within an existing, ongoing program vehicle. At the heart of NEH media projects is a set of broadly framed humanities themes that tie the elements of the story to larger historical, philosophical, or cultural understandings. In order to reformulate scholarly insights into themes that are compelling to public audiences, media professionals must collaborate with a team of humanities scholars who represent the major areas of scholarship on the subject and have diverse perspectives and approaches. Applications must be submitted through a U.S., nonprofit, IRS tax-exempt organization. State and local government agencies are also eligible. Since NEH support is limited, applicants may need to raise funds from other sources or assume cost sharing. Support for media projects is offered at four levels, from development through production. Supported levels are:
Planning Grants only: November 1, 2001 for projects beginning no earlier than March. Planning, Scripting, and Production Grants: February 1, 2002 for projects beginning no earlier than September. Please note that starting in 2002, all planning grants must be submitted to the February deadline.

"World AIDS Day 2001 -- December 1 -- is fast approaching, and our action is
more important now than ever," Visual AIDS writes by email. "36.1 million people
worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS. Over 850,000 people in the United States are
HIV+. The statistics among young people are particularly troubling."
In 1988, Visual AIDS launched Day With(out) Art as a World AIDS Day initiative
"to mourn those we have lost and to promote a broader awareness of the crisis."
This year, Visual AIDS is partnering with the House of Frame By Frame Fierce on
a video to be shown on Day With(out) Art/World AIDS Day to:
promote HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention among young people, especially those
most at risk of infection;
and inspire action through an increased public understanding of the AIDS
epidemic and its devastating effect on young people.
FRAME BY FRAME FIERCE was developed through a workshop process with a diverse
group of 16-21 year-olds -- including gay, bisexual, transgendered, HIV infected
and affected, African-American, white and Latino youth. The young people
explored issues around HIV/AIDS focusing on the difficulties youth face in
protecting themselves. They created artworks expressing their fears, ideas and
experiences regarding safer sex. Finally, they conceived, developed and designed
four animated HIV/AIDS awareness public-service announcements directed towards
at-risk youth. These four pieces together make up the final video, titled Frame
By Frame Fierce.
Visual AIDS is distributing the Frame By Frame Fierce to show on World AIDS
Day -- either in a public space or in a program geared towards young people.
