Die Veranstaltung beginnt am Donnerstag um 16.00h mit einführenden Vorträgen im Rahmen der Gesamtveranstaltung "Sustainable University" im Hörsaal 4 der Universität Lüneburg. Teil dieses Eröffnungsprogramms ist auch ein Vortrag des vom Kunstraum eingeladenen regulationstheoretischen Ökonomen Alain Lipietz, der u.a. den Beitrag über nachhaltige Entwicklung im Katalog der documenta X verfasste.

Die Vorträge werden überwiegend in englischer Sprache gehalten. Am Abend findet ein von der halle für kunst Lüneburg e.V. in Kooperation mit dem Kunstraum organisierter Auftritt von Sidney Stucki statt, der in eine Party mündet.

As the curator for the 4th Werkleitz Biennale section "net.art" I am looking for interesting projects. Since I am very interested in net.art different from what we have all already seen 1000 times, I started an open submission call with this page: (http://www.kulturserver.de/home/netart) Below you will find further description of the Werkleitz Biennale and the procedure how to submit your work. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need help.

The fourth Werkleitz Biennale "real[work]" will take place 5. - 9. July 2000 in Tornitz, Werkleitz and Calbe/Saale, Germany. Invited curators will select works in the fields of - Visual Arts, - Film/Video, - Performance Art and - Internet/Multimedia (Netart).

The cash prize, financed by an anonymous donor, will be divided among the winners. The first recipients will be announced on May 11 in San Francisco at the annual ceremony for the Webby Awards, which are billed as the Internet's version of the Oscars Tuku Noimul Huda Benjamin Weil, the new curator of media arts at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, will help carry out the vision of David Ross, the museum's director. In a telephone interview, David A. Ross, SFMOMA's director, said the new award was designed to call attention to the Internet as a medium for creative expression and to encourage artists to explore its aesthetic potential. The prize, he said, was also meant to "spur additional thinking about what kind of activity takes place on the Web in an artistic framework." SFMOMA and the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) http://www.iadas.net/about have created a new Webby Award to recognize and encourage artists working in online media around the world. The SFMOMA Webby Prize for Excellence in Online Art will offer $50,000 to an artist or artists for a body of work whose primary focus is to be experienced online and that explores and expands the distinctive capacity of the online medium. Winning artists will have their work exhibited in "e.space" SFMOMA's new online gallery, to be launched in mid-February 2000. The call for entries will open February 21 and close March 14, 2000. Winners will be announced at The Webby Awards 2000 on May 11 in San Francisco. Stay tuned for more information on guidelines and entry procedures.

Ed Osborn has made sound recordings at the sites of famous paintings, sculptures, and other artworks. He presents a visual representation of the artwork, the sound recorded there, and an accompanying text that considers how sound functions literally and metaphorically around the work. "Audio Recordings of Great Works of Art" is the featured web site in Langton's new Internet exhibition program, NETWORK, and can be viewed on a computer in the gallery or at http://www.newlangtonarts.org.. New Langton Arts is located at 1246 Folsom Street between 8th and 9th Streets. For information call 415 626 5416. Gallery admission is free. "Audio Recordings of Great Works of Art" examines museum culture, the acoustic life of silent objects, and the space left to the ear while the eye is engaged. In this way new readings can be drawn out of frequently examined pieces. By regarding visual art with the ear, "Audio Recordings of Great Works of Art" explores a rarely navigated, nearly silent, and always invisible terrain. There are fifteen artworks represented in "Audio Recordings of Great Works of Art" which Osborn selected from thousands of artworks that he has recorded over the last decade in North America, Europe, and Asia. They were chosen based on a variety of factors including their various physical locations, relationship to site, and relative fame. Among the featured recordings included are "Mona Lisa" (1503-06), Rembrandt's "Nightwatch" (1642), and Van Gogh's "Self Portrait with Felt Hat" (1887-88). Ed Osborn is an Oakland based artist whose sound, sound-sculpture, and performance has been presented around the globe. He has had solo exhibitions at Artspace in Sydney, Australia (1999), Galerie DARE-DARE, Montreal, Quebec (1998), Museum of Applied Arts, Helsinki, Finland (1996), and LACE, Los Angeles, CA (1996), among other venues. Osborn's performance history includes dates in Brazil, Berlin, Amsterdam, and New York City at the Lincoln Center (1999), to name a few. He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards including a grant from the Creative Work Fund (1996). Osborn is currently an artist-in-residence at Tryon Center for Visual Art in Charlotte, North Carolina. NETWORK is a new Internet-based art program at New Langton Arts that seeks to 1) provide a context for critical attention to and dialogue around Internet-based art work, 2) create a venue for the creation and presentation of new work in this evolving cultural arena and 3) support experimentation by contemporary artists. Through this program, Langton supports and presents experimental art work that engages the Web as an artistic medium or site of cultural exchange. NETWORK includes thematic group exhibitions accessible through Langton's Web site (http://www.newlangtonarts.org) and commissioned projects by artists at all stages of their careers. Langton is specifically interested in work that addresses critical issues related to contemporary culture and aesthetics, work that is collaborative or participatory in its approach, and work that crosses disciplinary boundaries. * * * New Langton Arts gratefully acknowledges the following individuals, foundations, and corporations for their support: Association Française d'Action Artistique, Mike Abbink, Banana Republic, BankAmerica Foundation, Lewis Butler, California Arts Council, Penny and James Coulter, Cultural Services of the French Embassy, Joshua Distler, Martha W.

INTERNATIONAL VIDEO SCREENING <<Contamination>> ,<<Sick and Dizzy>>, <<The Best of Art Rage>> ÒSelfÓ is no longer a loner bounded by a single geographical border. The self is built up of numerous cultures, a sum of many sums. Are we taking advantages from these contaminations? Or are we being forced into SELFLESS souls? ÒMiscegenation and syncretism are ubiquitous and yet there are no borders. We live in constant acquisition and dispensation, we contaminate ourselves and others; colonists and colonized in constant absorption of cultures as we receive and export these cultures forming a tireless flux of resistance and contamination.Ó -- Solange Farkas ( Curator of ÒContaminationÓ, Director of Videobrasil) ÒSo with the advent of mass media and multimedia communications our collective imaginings go public, the bubble of private subjectivity pops, and with it cherished and persisting notions of 'civilisation'. 'I' am contaminated by popular culture.Ó -- Beth Jackson ( Director of Griffith Artworks of Griffith University )Ê So, what kind of ÒSelfÓ we are going to meet during watching works from ÒContaminationÓ and ÒSick & DizzyÓ?

At the speed of change and of the new, will it be only 50 years from now when we will feel the same nostalgia for Dolly the sheep?Ó -- Mike Stubbs ( curator of CD-ROM Exhibition, Director of Hull Time Based Art, England ) Yes, indeed, the world is changing too fast. While the western culture claiming that CD-ROM will be replaced by the Internet, Hong Kong audiences are still lacking of chances to find out what CD-ROM can offer them. Even some outstanding CD-ROM art works created by the local indies do not have enough channels to show to the public.
