A criterium is a race of several laps on a short circuit with the city streets closed to traffic. The high-speed cornering and sprinting in this event make it a favourite for spectators and provide an opportunity to get close to the action as racers reach speeds of up to 60 km/hour.

18 EXHIBITION: ADD OIL MACHINE 打氣機 In collaboration with Hong Kong Exile Curated by Melissa Lee and Aaron Levy Organized by Slought Foundation in collaboration with the Add Oil Team, this virtual exhibition seeks to spread awareness about the power of individual and collective assemblage and the formation of community and solidarity through art. In commemoration of the final days of protests one year earlier, the project will launch online on December 10, 2015, raising questions about archivization and historicization, and how institutions record and display protest movements and cultural resistance. Here, in Vancouver, Canada, we will be presenting it in the form of an outdoor projection and installation.
The title of the exhibition is derived from “Stand By You: Add Oil Machine 並肩上: 打氣機” a spontaneous four-month project by artists Sampson Wong (黃宇軒), Jason Lam (林志 輝) and friends that strategically projected political writing on key government buildings in Hong Kong.

Description: For thousands of years fertile and menstruating people around the world have worked with herbs to affect our moon cycles. Many of our ancestors experienced dire persecution during the rise and imposition of colonial capitalism for holding this sacred knowledge, simply because it is and was so powerful. This violence continues to this day. For generations these skills have been forced deep underground, nestled safely in the dark-dampness of forest tree roots, leaving the present day generations of witches, healers and bleeders without the knowledge so many of us crave. It is time to dig this knowledge back up from the roots.
Today it is often challenging to find accurate information about herbal contraception. Often the available information is decontextualized or fear mongering, so as to turn people away from the power that lies dormant in our blood, bones and dream life. This workshop is designed to give people the skills to become more deeply in touch with our moon cycles. Much will be covered in this workshop including cycle charting, myth- busting, safer sex practices, herbal allies and medicine making, ethical wild crafting, harm reduction, and the spiritual/energetic aspects of herbal contraception. Access and container: This workshop will utilize 8 community agreements, which will be reviewed and amended if necessary when we meet. This workshop will take place at the Toast Collective on un-ceded coast salish territory. This link will give you info about access details for the space. If your access needs require accommodation that is not available in the space at present, send me a message and I’ll see what I can arrange to accommodate your needs. People of all genders are welcome at this workshop.

36 WORKSHOPS: PLANT MEDICINE IMMERSION – ONE PLANT AT A TIME 9 Classes to choose from
COTTONWOOD AND ST. JOHN’S WORT MEDICINE SATURDAY JULY 9 AT 10AM TO SUNDAY JULY 10 AT 2 PM
Dear friends and plant lovers! I am happy to announce the Plant Medicine Immersion Series for 2016. This summer you have 9 classes to choose from throughout July, Aug and September.
We'll immerse in the Medicine of 7 amazing local plants (Cottonwood twice - because it is, oh... so worth it!) and we'll learn to make Herbal Medicine - the folk (simple) method. If you can cook a simple meal, you can make your own Herbal Medicine!
In each class we'll immerse in the medicine of a single plant in several layers (physical, emotional and spiritual): • we'll learn to communicate with each plant and experience it's subtle medicine first hand • we'll learn the plants medicinal properties and how to use it • if conditions allow, we'll harvest some plants for medicine - to make on your own (a skill we'll learn in the medicine making workshop and we'll review as necessary) • we'll learn a different topic of herbal medicine in each class to help you create a more rounded approach and confidence in using Plant Medicine.
This series is intentionally designed with a flexible schedule to allow you to participate in as many classes as you wish and able. You will learn and experience a lot, even from a single class.
I wish to encourage you to participate in as many classes as you can. This class is unique in emphasizing the connection with and direct experience of the medicine of each plant. The primary obstacle to such learning is our own learned and ingrained lack of trust in the sentience of nature and our ability to connect with her. The remedy is practice, practice and more practice. Experiencing this type of Plant Medicine repeatedly, with guidance and with a group of like minded fellow humans will go a long way in developing this trust.
Each plant has unique energetic signature. Experiencing each one and comparing several plants is powerful! And of course, each plant you learn is a new ally to help with your health and well being.

49 AWARD: THE EMERGING DIGITAL ARTISTS AWARD (EDAA)
The Emerging Digital Artists Award (EDAA), presented in partnership by Equitable Bank and its digital banking operation, EQ Bank, has launched its second call for applications. Founded on a desire to support and celebrate digital innovation in the arts, the EDAA caters to early-career artists who are working on-screen, and experimenting with the possibilities of digitally rendered imagery. Applicants are encouraged to play with moving image formats such as video, animation, and GIF art.
Following a successful first year, where Toronto-based Colin Rosati was announced as its inaugural winner, the EDAA has gone through some exciting changes. The program has been expanded to include residents of Quebec, making this initiative truly national in scope. Further, the newly built EDAA website has been designed to make the application process even easier, and to feature our annually selected artist partner. This year, Nicolas Sassoon’s GIF works can be seen across all EDAA web and print materials.
If you’re an emerging digital artist based in Canada, apply by filling out an online application form here.
The call will stay open through the summer – deadline to apply is September 15, 2016.
What happens next? Applications will be juried by this year’s multi-disciplinary, digital-savvy panel of judges – Rea McNamara, Alex McLeod, and Amber Christensen. Works will be considered against four main criteria: • relevance, defined by the ways the work engages digital media in its process, presentation, and content; • technique and demonstrated familiarity with the media; • aesthetics, or the stylistic choices made by the artist in the work; and • the 250-word written statement submitted with the application. Based on their excellence in all areas, five finalists will be selected and invited to show their work at a screening event in Toronto on October 26, 2016.
The award winner will be announced at the EDAA’s culminating event on October 26, and presented with a $5,000 monetary award. The award includes Equitable Bank’s acquisition of the winning artwork, which will be displayed on-screen in our company’s head office in Toronto. The remaining four finalists each receive a $1,000 award.

The Art Gallery of Windsor (AGW) is pleased to invite proposals for new or recent artworks for Downtown/s: Urban Renewal Today for Tomorrow, The 2017 Art Gallery of Windsor Triennial of Contemporary Art which brings together examples of contemporary art made by artists in southwestern Ontario, Windsor-Essex, and Detroit surrounding the theme of downtown/s - downtown destruction and downtown renewal. In response to this theme, artists are to consider the many ways in which they experience, understand and frame the notion of downtown within their community in all its locational precarity and multiplicities.
The strategic plurality of the word downtown speaks to current and timely conversations about global architecture, culture and economic renaissance, topics that are changing the nature of what a downtown looks like, how it functions, and for whom. In an effort to expand the Art Gallery of Windsor’s notion of downtown and collaborate with other sites in and around the city, additional locations will serve as a stage for the presentation of art, such as the University of Windsor and its newly relocated School of Creative Arts, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre, and other sites to be determined. In the spirit of an intervention, we invite artists to submit recent works, or proposals for new work to be exhibited in a variety of spaces. Artists are encouraged to share their stories with us. We want to know how artists are responding and re-imagining their experiences and understandings of downtown in times of urban renewal. Works in all media will be considered, including sculpture, performance, video, audio, installation, photography, painting, drawing and digital media.

FIGMENT Toronto is an ongoing two-day event designed to promote spontaneous collaboration, active communication, and significant fun. Scheduled artists will commingle with contributors bringing unplanned commissions to the site, and a series of music acts will perform throughout the duration of the event.
The curators of FIGMENT Toronto invite proposals for interactive art of all mediums from local and regional artists, as well as artists across the United States and internationally. From installation, to performance art, to dance and video, FIGMENT Toronto hopes to showcase a diverse range of interactive and collaborative works. Selected works will highlight FIGMENT principles such as inclusion, self-reliance, participation, and de-commodification. Artists are welcome to submit previously exhibited art pieces.
FIGMENT participants can choose to enter their submission in one of the categories covering two main fields: Performance and Installation or, simply put, People and Things. Projects can include but are not limited to: installations, games, workshops, (roving) performances, multimedia, electronic art, music.
Founded in 2007 on New York City's Governors Island, what began as a few thousand enthusiasts enjoying a handful of participatory art projects on a sunny July afternoon has ballooned into a multi-day, multi-city event that drew over 30,000 participants in NYC, Jackson, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Washington DC and Boston in 2012. FIGMENT seeks to continue its mission to offer free, inclusive and participatory art to entire communities, removing the barriers of museum and gallery walls and entrance fees and blurring the lines between those who create and those who enjoy art.

60 FESTIVAL: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – ELEMENTAL FESTIVAL Date: Sep 30 – Oct 2 Location: 4elements Living Arts, Kagawong, Manitoulin Island | Mnidoo Mnising
Co-curated by Patricia Mader + sophie anne edwards
4elements Living Arts has two opportunities for you to participate in this year’s Elemental Festival - besides attending, that is. We’re accepting submissions to our Elemental Festival Writing Prize, and proposals from emerging artists working in all mediums to install work during the festival.
About Elemental Festival and 4e - Sep 30th to Oct 2nd 2016, the second annual Elemental Festival will take place in Kagawong, a village of less than 200 people on Mnidoo Mnising | Manitoulin Island. Presented by 4elements Living Arts (4e), a local interdisciplinary non-profit arts organization, the festival is site-specific and includes multiple forms of contemporary art. At 4e we’re shaking loose outdated mind-sets about where contemporary art can happen.
This year’s curatorial theme is ‘Walking’. Despite its typically spontaneous, occasionally reflexive, and sometimes somnambulatory nature, walking is a complex action. It can be both physical and performative; a deeply personal and a political act that claims and carves out space emotionally, politically, socially and culturally. We follow routes, sometimes newly created recreational trails, sometimes traditional trading routes or harvesting paths whose origins have been erased through colonial territorialization. Paths aren’t always human-made.
For Elemental Festival, we have invited works that propose to examine a complex range of socio-cultural, and geo-political paths; that consider the legacy of walking with a particular focus on walking in the context of our specific rural and ecologically sensitive site. This year’s confirmed artists include:
Matt Coelin, Intallation artist, Sault Ste Marie Judy Martin, Fibre artist, Little Current Elisha Sidlar, Performance artist, M'Chigeeng First Nation Judy Bowyer, Installation/sound artist, Kitchener Chris Turnball, Installation artist/writer, Kemptville Madhur Anand, Ecologist/writer, Guelph
The festival includes two full day writing workshops, artist talks, community art engagements, community walks, and panel discussions. Outdoor installation and performance works will animate the village as the Salmon make their annual run up the Kagawong River.
Call for Submissions - Emerging Artists working in any medium are invited to submit proposals for work to be installed, or performed during the festival. Projects should relate to our curatorial theme, and our organization’s mandate. Typically projects are installed outside, or have an outdoor component. We can provide assistance with the installation and an honorarium of $500, plus free entry to any festival workshops you wish to attend. If you have a great idea, please submit the following items attached as a single .pdf to [email protected] • Full name, address, and contact info; website if you have one • A brief project proposal (1 or 2 paragraphs) • A brief artist statement (1 paragraph) • Artist CV (2 pages or less) Please also submit 5 good quality images of your work with an corresponding image list (images should be no larger than 1MB and should be images that most relate to your proposed project) • $10 application processing fee via e-transfer (think of it as a donation to a wee tiny arts organization doing great things – it will make you feel warm and fuzzy) or cheque to the 4e office. Use ‘Artist proposal – Elemental Festival 2016’ as the subject line. Deadline: June 15

ARGENTINA: 79 RESIDENCY: TRANS ACCIONES UTÓPICAS A process of temporary immersion in an utopian and experimental economic reality. Application deadline 10/07/2016 Residency starts 29/10/2016 Residency ends 13/11/2016
Description of residency program trans acciones utópicas takes as reference various projects that aim to rethink, put in crisis and propose alternatives to the current capitalist system. From there, we hope to imagine and carry out- in the small rural town of Cazón- a series of joint that would allow us to live a process of temporary immersion in an utopian and experimental economic reality. A practice where we can revalue resources, goods, services, production forms and consumption that have been reduced exclusively to exchange rates, to recover the value of utility and other values linked mainly to the community’s exchange space as an interdependence space, collective solidarity, inherent to emancipatory experiences and also to build a social fabric. The call proposes a 15 day residence process, where 8 artists will work together with the people of Cazón, to think and put into action, through art tools, possible ways to inhabit an economic system based on cooperation, recognition of individual and collective needs, the upgrading of the own and collective knowledge and different ways to share, exchange and add value to the resources we can offer to the community. We assume that excluding ourselves completely from this economic system is a slow process, a transition. For now and within this context, we still recognize ourselves as dependent subjects of the usual forms of production and consumption. However, we intend to get closer to this process, where through playful exercises in which different forms of political imagination prevail, we can temporarily achieve a reality that now seems utopian. Assuming our contradictions, allowing wide margins of error and being open to link up with the complexities in the rural traditions that will be part of the work context. These actions aim to catalyse a community organization process that will converge in an exchange fair that could maintain itself over time and even replicate in the coming years. We think this fair as a festive time of collective recognition, a space to share various proposals developed during the residency. With a series of activities such as music, canteens, workshops, exchanges, actions, we hope to approach, share and experience in a temporary way, the utopian economy that we’ve proposed. Context Cazón is a village located 12 km from the city of Saladillo, Buenos Aires, at the junction of Routes 205, 51 and 63, at 170 km from the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is home to 300 inhabitants and is known as the ‘million trees town’. There is a huge municipal nursery with production and wilderness areas, about 10 private nurseries, an elementary school with dance and theatre orientations, an agro technical high school with a food processing room, a dairy farm, two stores, a butcher/bar, a club whose headquarters is under reconstruction, a soccer field, a base camp, two squares, four abandoned coal furnaces, houses with gardens and greenhouses, a railway station in use, paved roads, dirt roads and streets that end where the countryside begins. In a survey conducted by CRA during 2015 in Cazón, a wide range of crafts, intuitive knowledge and resources were identified, crafts that the villagers can offer the community, including horticulture, construction, cooking and food production, educational practices, creating souvenirs and crafts, animal farming and slaughter and recognition of wild herbs among other interactions with the environment. Duration of residency 15 days Conditions of participation The program is intended for artists from all around the world. There may be individual or collective projects. Services provided by the residence Accommodation in a house with kitchen, living room and bedrooms with shared bathrooms, linen (sheets, blankets, etc.), work spaces, an articulation platform between the needs of the projects with the medium, exchange rounds and other interaction activities coordinated by the team of utopian trans actions. An example of these activities could be to exercise the question: would you be willing to not bring any clothes to the residence and wear only clothing that has been donated by the neighbours for the use of the residents? Would you be willing to not use money during the first three days of the residence? Sheds, streets, fields, clubs, schools, trees, shops, private homes, land, etc. will be used as workplaces. Needs covered by residents Plane tickets. Transfer to Cazón. Internal transportation costs. Personal expenses.

Description of residency program AFFECT 2016 PROGRAM FOR COLLABORATIVE ARTISTIC PRACTICES IN BERLIN presents: If you don't pay attention to me, I WON’T PAY ATTENTION TO YOU. On the role of the collective in an attention economy facilitated by Sarah Margarita Lewis September 5 – 30 | Apply before August 5 * Read more at http://agoracollective.org/affect/module-5/ If we think of scarcity as the driving force of an economic model then, given today’s incessant inundation of information, what is becoming increasingly scarce is the attention we are able to pay and command. The foundation of this economic model is contingent upon interpersonal relations. How does the attention we transact affect our sense of worth? Can we engage each other and avoid the more incessant and individualistic tendencies of personality expression? How could the collective offer another possibility of accruing attention? How could we alternatively construct an ecology of attention? And how could this proposed ecology offer an emancipatory perspective on the way we think about the relationships we want to build with the things: be the gadgets, animals, plants and or people around us. Throughout this month working with a group of diverse multi genre artists we will explore possibilities of artistic collaboration while dealing with the question of attention scarcity. Specifically how this scarcity affects, jeopardizes or enhances the experience of working as a collective. Utilizing a set methodology we will leverage imagination to more deeply engage with each other through an economy of attention. Where among other things we will switch roles, rotate authorship, view, observe, explore proposals put forth, and collectively edit and at the end present/perform our assembled findings. About the facilitator Sarah Margarita Lewis is a Dominican-American cultural producer and performing artist based in Berlin. She has created, curated and led a variety of different performing art projects in cities like Boston, Berlin, Chicago, NYC, Brussels, Santo Domingo, Paris, Riga, Basel and Sao Paulo working in an array of different cultural venues, from theaters to galleries, public spaces, schools and museums. Combining her artistic practices Sarah has come to play the role of a host concentrating on knowledge dissemination through theatrical forms. Assembling materials and facilitating situations that provide a platform (or stage) that attempts to level out hierarchies of knowledge and focuses rather on knowledge interdependence– after all, we are all cultural producers. The structures she proposes provide room for reflection on the assumed roles people enact on a daily basis where the public is then invited to create their own collective script. Sarah has been working with Mobile Academy Berlin since 2013. Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.

JAPAN: 90 RESIDENCY: OPEN CALL! LONGSTAY2016 PARADISE AIR currently seeks an artist who wishes to create work while residing at PARADISE AIR Application deadline 31/07/2016 Residency starts 01/10/2016 Residency ends 28/12/2016 More information http://paradiseair.info/opencall
Description of residency program PARADISE AIR currently seeks an artist who wishes to create work while residing at PARADISE AIR in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, as part of the PARADISEAIR LONGSTAY Program 2016. During Japan’s Edo Period – while many towns developed under the rule of Feudal Lords and Samurai who worked to expand the Shogunate’s Imperial Fief – Matsudo flourished as an independent city untethered by feudalistic growth. As an inn town, the prosperity of Matsudo stemmed from the foot traffic of the Mitokaido highway, and from the nautical trade that bustled along the Edo River, but, most importantly, Matsudo has long been fabled for exceptional townsfolk. The people of Matsudo remain praised by visitors for their remarkable hospitality and obliging nature. Program Theme This year’sLONGSTAY Program2016 will host One artists from abroad. The theme, “START,” encourages artists to incorporate Matsudo’s regional resources into a proposal that explores the town’s temporal, spatial, and/or physical “place.” The theme “START,” which holds some composite meanings, marks a fresh beginning. In the 4 years since we started the program, we have hosted many artists from various countries and regions. The rewards of our activities are starting to shine like “STARs” in the sky. We hope that the stars of “ART” that you create this year in Matsudo will connect with other stars to form new constellations. This year also marks a new “START” for PARADISE AIR with a new operating structure. We hope you find as many stars as you can in our town, which aims to be a part of the greater constellations of the world. You might discover something completely different or new when you connect with others here.

UNITED KINGDOM: 103 EXHIBITION: ‘RANDOM ORANGE’ OPEN CALL Organised by Ice Tuxedo Deadline for applications: Friday 8th July, 2016, Time: 6 pm Application fee: £20 Ice Tuxedo ‘random orange’ Open Call Random Orange is an International Open Call exhibition organised by Ice Tuxedo. Artists are asked to apply with work that respond to an extract taken from ‘The Science in Science Fiction’ ed. Peter Nicholls, 1982, p. 91. EXTRACT: ‘There are various intriguing science fiction notions concerning time that can only call upon very distant support from science. A notable example is A.E. van Vogt’s novel The Weapon Shops of Isher, in which a man throws alternately, as if on a seesaw, increasingly distant past and futures, accumulates so much energy (for surely time travel requires energy) that when he finally explodes in the distant past, it is the intensity of this release of energy that catalyses the creation of the Sun and the planets. This is one of the ultimate time paradoxes. More soberly, Ian Watson’s story “The Very Slow Time Machine’ tells of a future time traveller in a machine which, before it is projected even further into the future, must (like a catapult) first be very slowly pulled back into the past. To battled present-day observers he seems to be experiencing normal duration, but in reverse. There is a remote sense in which physics supports the relationship between time and energy that these stories rather vaguely suggest. The initial energy of the Big Bang that gave birth to our universe is thought to be directly connected to the nature of time in the universe. We do not know exactly how much energy this was, but we do know that the greater the initial energy, the longer time itself will last before the universe reaches its hear-death or collapses back into a monobloc.’ http://www.schwartzgallery.co.uk/ Key dates: Deadline for applications: Time: 18.00 pm, Friday 8th July, 2016 Selected artists announced on Schwartz Gallery website: Private view: Thursday 28th July, 6 - 8.30 p.m Exhibition dates: 28/07/16 - 27/08/2016 Public opening hours: Saturdays only: 11am - 5pm Thursday & Friday: Viewing by appointment only between 11am and 5pm Fees: Application and processing fee: £20 (via paypal: see website) per application of up to three artworks per artist.

107 RESIDENCY: RESIDENCY 108 Deadline: July 31st Application fee: none City: Clermont, New York Duration: 4 weeks Program URL: www.residency108.org
Eligibility: Copy of resume, statement of intent. VISUAL ARTISTS: 10 images with title, date, dimensions, and medium. WRITERS: Two work samples – up to 20 pages each. Support: Housing, workspace and weekly stipend for food. Cost: No cost, participants only assume their own travel and material expenses. Program URL: www.residency108.org
About: Our fall 2016 session will take place from October 16- November 13. Applications are due by July 31st but may be submitted earlier. We will notify applicants by or before August 5th.
Residency 108 invites emerging and established artists, writers and thinkers of all disciplines to immerse themselves in their creative practice. We particularly welcome those who work with nature, ecology and the installation of temporary outdoor land-art works. The residency is free apart from the cost of travel and material expenses which must be assumed by the individual.
Two four week-long residencies are offered each year, one for the month of October and one for the month of May. The program accommodates three artists at a time. Each resident is provided with a room, working facilities and a weekly stipend for food, participants are responsible for cooking their own meals. Each resident will be asked to present their work during the residency and weekly critiques are held as a group, sometimes with a visiting critic.
The program takes place on 108 acres of pastoral land which was used as a horse farm in the last century. The property features rolling hills, mowed paths, meadows, densely wooded forests, wetlands with a few ponds of varying size and a seasonal stream. In addition to these ecosystems a variety of native plant species host habitats for birds, reptiles and amphibians. Frequent visitors include coyotes, deer and wild turkeys. The barn is home to chickens, sheep, horses, goats, cats, a cow and a pig.
The residency is located in a remote area; the closest village is a 7-minute drive or 25- minute bike ride. There is no public transportation in the area, and we do not have a vehicle available for resident use apart from a bike. We do however provide weekly trips to shop for supplies and food. Our program is ideal for artists who wish to engage with the landscape and prefer isolation to interaction. If you require constant contact with “civilization” this may not be the program for you.
