Pop-Up Now! is looking for handmade artist books that pop-up, move, slide, twirl, whirl, light up, or even sound off. This national juried exhibition of handmade movable artist books will be held at 23 Sandy Gallery, in conjunction with the biennial conference of the Movable Book Society to be held in Portland in September. Entries must be received by July 20, 2010.

Art in Odd Places: Chance
Art in Odd Places (AIOP) invites artists working across disciplines to propose projects for the festival's sixth installment (October 1-10, 2010). Taking place along 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson River in New York City, proposals that explore this location's rich history, configuration, and heterogeneous communities are encouraged. The forthcoming edition of AiOP is informed by various interpretations of the term Chance, including proposition, luck, randomness, risk, and opportunity. Within this context, artists are given the opportunity to apply their practice to an unconventional structure--playing off the idiosyncrasies inherent to the urban plane. With emerging formats of communication, our culture has become a fertile ground for broad intersections between individuals, ideas and situations. This has resulted in unpredictable exchanges, relinquishment of control, surprise collaborations, and instances of spatial revelation. AiOP 2010: Chance intends to provide passersby with a new perspective of an otherwise familiar environment through site-specific installations, social and spatial interventions, video and audio projects, performance, new media, and other inventive practices. In addressing the distinct manifestations of chance, the festival aims to broaden the public's outlook on art, city dwelling, and social conventions. 2010 guest curators: Yaelle Amir and Petrushka Bazin. AiOP Founder and Director: Ed Woodham. Deadline: May 14, 2010, midnight. Visit www.artinoddplaces.org for artist application and guidelines.

Changing Landscapes: A Dialogue Between Art and the Environment
The world's natural and built environments are endangered and the need to seriously engage contemporary thinking about these disappearing landscapes through the creation of art is of paramount importance. A Studio in the Woods, located in the Louisiana wetlands, has observed firsthand the dynamic nature of this rapidly changing territory which in turn affects the entire northern hemisphere. This is a powerful context for the exploration of critical thinking, the development of new ideas and strategies, and using the creative process as a catalyst for social change. With this in mind, artists are invited to submit applications to the environmental residency series titled Changing Landscapes, addressing the ecological challenges exemplified by Southern Louisiana. The call is open to artists of all disciplines who have demonstrated an established dialogue with environmental issues and a commitment to seeking and plowing new ground. Artists are invited to design their own interface with the public and are encouraged to propose ways to engage the larger community of New Orleans and beyond. Four six-week residencies which include a stipend and supply budget are to be offered between September 2010 and April 2011. The deadline for submissions is June 18, 2009. Submissions must be postmarked by June 18, 2010. With questions or for more information please email applications@astudiointhewoods.org.
