Art Outside! Call to Artists for AO/08

2 40 51867 Art Outside! Call to Artists for AO/08 Calling ALL Artists for the 4th Annual Art Outside Brouhaha! March 7th – 17th   2008. To take part in AO08 Go Here-  <a href="http://www.artoutside.org">www.artoutside.org </a> Ladies and gentlemen of the art world, we are seeking any and all creative humans who use their skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others. That is, we are looking for those whose life is art, and everything they do is DIY.  We are searching for those who are creating the Hand-Made Nation. We are calling !ALL! make-believers, dreamers and reality re-arrangers. We are searching hi and low for lowbrow-urban-contemporary-pop-surrealism,  pop art, op art, hard-edge, lyrical abstraction, post minimalism, which might be interpreted by some to mean that we are looking only for painters, but that is most definitely not the case. For you see, of course, we need masters of typography, sketchers, illustrators, satirical stencilers, screen printing is way cool, and yes, you too, graffiti fools. Do you manipulate earth/land/sand/plants/junk into art? Then we have a home for you. Every culture jammer in the hood. Now we know, some of you may be saying “What about Dadas’ Dadaists, though?” Of course we are calling all inspired by DADA- that’s what gave us the fluxists, productivism, neoplasticism, pittura, metafisica, arbeitsrat and quite possibly Bauhaus. Well, we are looking for all of “you”, if any of you still exist. Now one may wonder… What about the cubist? We say, “But of course.” Conceptualist? Indeed. Instalationists? Please! One might ask if we are seeking anything that might fall under postmodernist modernist modernisnist who are not distracted by abstractionists and others IST’S. Of course there is always impressionism, post-minimalism, pre-contemporaryism, and expressionism. Are you working in symbolism or surrealism or any of the other -isms that we have not yet mentioned? Well come out. But wait that’s not all, that could not possibly be all this call for ARTE is all about? Well, Dali you’re right. This call goes out to kinetic sculptors, fire sculptors, sound artists bending invisible waves, and video projectionists playing with light. We must invite the minds of the poets and their spoken slam voices, along with improv comedians who mimic the true history of time. Or was that the klown? How can we forget about the klowns! Performers “performing” art, puppeteers with their puppets, musicians making sounds. Oh, and least we forget outsider artists wanting to be outside. In short, we invite all the conceivable movements, modes, and theories of art known to man. We say to you, the Artisans of the world who wish to unite because the world needs ART, because the world’s not right, It is time. Your window of opportunity is now. Our space is your blank canvas. Your dreams are our inspiration. You and your art are invited to take part in this epic artistic endeavor. The world may be going to hell… So let’s make some art.   To take part in AO08 Go Here www.artoutside.org & befriend us on myspace.... <a href="http://www.myspace.com/austinenchantedforest" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/austinenchantedforest</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/artoutside" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/artoutside </a> and on tribe... <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/austinenchantedforest" target="_blank">http://tribes.tribe.net/austinenchantedforest</a> and check out... <a href="http://www.austinenchantedforest.com">http://www.austinenchantedforest.com</a> for VALENTINES, Feb 14th and 15th @ the United States Art Authority <a href="http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/valentines.html" target="_blank">http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/valentines.html</a><div align="center"><a href="http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/valentines.html" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/antivalentines.html" target="_blank">http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/antivalentines.html</a> and to truly stay “in tha know” sign up for our lo-fi no spam mailing list <a href="http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/email_list.html" target="_blank">http://www.austinenchantedforest.com/email_list.html</a> P.S.

Formed in late-2008 when a stray bolt of sex-lightning struck Austin’s ColdTowne Theater, improv comedy troupe Boy Toy includes some of the funniest and most-innovative improvisers in the country. Among this dazzling troupe of funnykins are ColdTowne Conservatory teachers and graduates, an Air Sex World Champion, a World of Warcraft guru, a zip-line tour guide, the manager of a Starbucks, and “Dirty Baby,” leader of Austin’s only ukulele rock-and-roll band. Boy Toy performs “The Harold,” the grandpappy of improv formats that intertwines organic games, scenes, and relationships into one big ball of sexy you’ll want to take home with you … but not to your mother. Boy Toy performs every Saturday at ColdTowne Theater (4803 Airport Blvd, next to I Luv Video), at 7:00pm. http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/boy-toy-presents-2 http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/boy-toy-presents-2.xml Saturday 11/21/09 20091122T010000Z/20091122T010000Z false 0 15.0 07:00 PM Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 24 SAT 01/30/2010 http://www.boytoyimprov.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/277473/boy-toy-medium_sq_90.jpg ColdTowne Theater 780 ColdTowne Theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml

Productions proudly present the world premiere of Radio Silence: a word opera, a fresh-to-death new bullet in the chamber from award-winning playwright, Zell Miller III. Radio Silence: a word opera is a fast paced rhythmic ride. This hip-hop theater performance piece fuses the physicality of modern dance with high-energy spoken word and the sensibilities of street politics. This new word opera is a choreopoem that challenges and redefines taboos including race, sex, religion and politics, with the back-drop of a fading media: the radio. http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/radio-silence http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/radio-silence.xml Saturday 08/30/08 20080831T010000Z/20080831T010000Z false 0 10.0 08:00 PM Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:00:00 -0500 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:00:00 -0500 2 SAT 08/30/2008 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/52831/20_Radio1_sq_90.JPG The Vortex 980 The Vortex http://do512.com/venue/the-vortex http://do512.com/venue/the-vortex.xml

One side is dubbed the Alliance, and the other side is dubbed the Coalition. Each faction is the sworn enemy of the other. At some point, centuries before our story takes place, the city decided that their wars had been too destructive, so they created a somewhat more civilized manner of dealing with each other: Contest. Both sides of the city operate as typical municipalities would in our world, except for where issues concerning both sides are concerned. Contest is a sporting form of politics that allows one contender from each side to duke it out with the other. It is the fantasy of all young men in the city that they become contenders. John and Nick grew up on the alliance side of the city, and shared the dream of one-day being contenders for their side. This dream comes true for John, but not for Nick who isn’t allowed to fight because of a medical condition. This story is about Nick coming to grips with his insecurities over not being chosen to be a contender. His friendship with John, his relationship with his girlfriend Violet, his career, and even the city is eventually affected by Nick’s inner turmoil. Will Nick’s internal battle destroy him and all of those around him? Or is there hope for him? <a href="http://www.4thwalltickets.com/store/show/53">Purchase tickets to Hubris</a> http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/hubris http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/hubris.xml Saturday 02/09/08 20080210T020000Z/20080210T020000Z false 0 7.25 08:00 PM Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:00:00 -0600 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:00:00 -0600 1 SAT 02/04/2008 The Off Center 562 The Off Center http://do512.com/venue/the-off-center http://do512.com/venue/the-off-center.xml
