ART-ACT 12 for Net-Timers
Art that serves communities and which invites your comments at
http://www.art-teez.org/ara_art1.htm
Check out ART-ACT's latest submission. Charlene Teters t-shirt art
submission speaks about the irresponsible use of racist mascots by sport
teams to incite competitive spirit. This common practice in the U.S.A
accentuates stereotypes and legitimizes them. See "Mis-Education" at
http://www.art-teez.org/artists/ct1.htm
BUILDING AN ON-LINE VOLUNTEER CREW
How does a small community art center promote an Internet art contest and
exhibit on the Internet? This mailing is one of the ways we do it. Our
volunteer program is another way. Volunteers are beginning to sign-up two
or three a week. I see this developing into a major resource. It is our key
to a "sensation".
Art has a place in our communities and the Internet is composed of
communities. Our
goal is to create a strong community around the related issues of diversity
and anti-racism using the art as a magnet.
Help build an Internet Community against Racism. Volunteer one hour a week.
To read about the HELP we need - Click
http://www.art-teez.org/help_ara.htm
COLOR ART INVITED (for exhibit only)
Extending ART-ACT to be an exhibit, we now allow an artist to exhibit a
pro-diversity or anti-racist image in color if it is a GIF or JPEG file
under 100 Kb. This policy development was influenced by the ART-ACT image
this
ART-ACT Notes announces. However, only the black and white line copy images
can be eligible for the contest. This gives artists a way to show a wider
variety of work that fights hate then previously allowed.
BUILDING MINI-MAIL LISTS UNDER ART WORKS
We will begin a local action passing out printouts of our ART-ACT images to
get comments we can post below our sites art to help site visitors feel
comfortable commenting by e-mail. Our goal is an active discussion over
these images. Step by step, we are evolving our interactive on-line
contest/exhibit concept. When this contest is over the site segment will
continue to act promote the art submitted and fight for diversity
sensitivity on the Internet.
Speakout on ART-ACT images and win a free t-shirt from our "Screen Print
Workshop for Artists." A free t-shirt to the first and twenty-first
commentator on
artwork in our ART-ACT exhibit. Just click on COMMENTS below any image in
ART-ACT and send us your thoughts.
Thanks for reading of us as we grow.

Body & Society was launched in 1995 to cater for the upsurge of interest
in the social and cultural analysis of the human body that has taken
place in recent years. Its editors are Mike Featherstone and Bryan S Turner.
Body & Society centrally concerns itself with debates in feminism,
technology, ecology, postmodernism, medicine, ethics and consumerism
which take the body as the central analytic issue in the questioning of
established paradigms.
The journal examines the extensive range of issue that have emerged from
these debates by engaging with the contributions of writers such as:
Jean Baudrillard, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, Helene Cixous,
Deleuze/Guattari, Mary Douglas, Norbert Elias, Michel Foucault, Donna
Haraway, Julia Kristeva, Marcel Mauss, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and others.
The journal is dedicated to the publication of contemporary empirical
and theoretical work from a wide range of disciplines, including
anthropology; art history; communication; cultural history; cultural
studies; feminism; film studies; health studies; leisure studies;
medical history; philosophy; psychology; religious studies; sociology;
and sports studies.

Dear friend, dear fan, dear member of my mailing list,
You must have noticed how clean and tidy my new site looked like. I threw some
old pages away, and fixed all the rest.
It's still the same site, but slightly changed.
Just like me. I became different.
I'm a clone of myself, said someone.
Or maybe there are several Mouchette going around, I'm just another one of them
...
And I also made something new: a portrait of my cat
http://www.mouchette.org/cat/
I hope you will love him as much as I do.

Artery: The AIDS-Arts Journal & Forum
Edited by Robert Atkins
Launching December 1, 1999
www.artistwithaids.org
The Estate Project for Artists with AIDS (a project of the Alliance for
the Arts) is a national organization committed to preserving artworks
created during the AIDS crisis so that they can be used by curators and
historians to provide a subjective view of this time of crisis. In
December of 1998, the Estate Project worked with partner organizations
such as Visual AIDS, Visual AIDS Boston, Visual Aid San Francisco and the
LA Gay and Lesbian Center to launch an extraordinary website at
<http://www.artistswithaids.org> www.artistswithaids.org. The website and
its Virtual Collection were an excellent first step towards centralizing
important information and images.
Now, with the creation of Artery: The AIDS-Arts Forum - an on-line journal
and forum produce by critic and activist Robert Atkins -
<http://www.artistswithaids.org/> www.artistswithaids.org marks another
important step forward. The thousands of images available for viewing in
the Virtual Collection, for example, are purposely not curated. However,
we do feel that it is necessary to bring critical voices and
interpretation to this site both to discuss specific artworks you might
see and to illuminate the larger issues that surround them. To that end,
the Estate Project asked Robert Atkins to create an on-line journal and
forum to enlarge the discussion surrounding art and AIDS while building a
sense of community amongst those using the site.
Artery's premiere issue contains an Artist in the Archives interview with
Gregg Bordewitz - a videomaker and activist who is involved in the Estate
Project AIDS Activist Video Preservation Program. Other features include a
moderated Dialogue entitled "Plays, Lies and Ticket Sales,"
playwright/screenwriter Craig Lucas's and novelist/playwright Sarah
Schulman's lively discussion about AIDS and theatre between (moderated by
Michael Bronski); an online Symposium about the current states of
AIDS-arts by Chris Dohse (dance), Stephen Holden (television and film),
Eileen Myles (literature) and Nancy Princenthal (visual arts); and an
illustrated Feature by Robert Atkins, "Off the Wall: AIDS and Public Art."
In typical, online fashion, "Artery" is being launched in process. Not all
of the interactive features or planned editorial resources have been
developed yet. In the near-future, expect to see book reviews,
photo-essays and community projects, a timeline of two decades' of
AIDS-arts, as well as more of what's available now. We hope that you will
come back to the site in 2000 for both new issues of Artery as well as new
operating software allowing the Virtual Collection to accommodate a
greater range of viewers.
Robert Atkins is an art historian and writer who has been an innovator in
the areas of both digital culture and AIDS activism. Currently, Atkins is
a research fellow at Carnegie-Mellon's Studio for Creative Inquiry and art
editor of the Media Channel <www.mediachannel.org>. In 1995, he created
TalkBack! A Forum for Critical Inquiry, the first American online journal
exclusively about online art, and from 1996-98, served as editor-in-chief
of the Arts, Technology, Entertainment Network, a New York Times Company
start up producing arts programming for television and the Internet. Since
the beginning of the epidemic, Atkins has written widely about AIDS and in
1990 co-curated, "From Media to Metaphor: Art About AIDS," the first
travelling museum exhibition surveying art about AIDS. He was also one of
the four founders of Visual AIDS, the ten-year-old New York-based
non-profit responsible for the annual Day Without Art, and many other
educational activities.
Artery was produced by a team from Luna Imaging led by Ryan Chute.

Conference Website: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/aoir/
The growth of the Internet is one of the greatest cultural phenomena of
our time, impacting almost all areas of life. It is crucial to build
knowledge about the Internet's socio-cultural dimensions. Despite great
interest, knowledge-building in Internet research is hindered by a lack of
international, centralized opportunities for scholars from different
disciplines to interact. This international conference, the first meeting
of the Association of Internet Researchers, will focus on the Internet as
a distinct interdisciplinary field for research. It will bring together
prominent scholars, researchers, and students from multiple disciplines
for keynote addresses, paper presentations, formal and informal discussions.
The Association of Internet Researchers (A.(o).I.R.) invites submissions
of between 150 and 250 words on all topics that address any social,
cultural, political, economic, or aesthetic aspects of the internet. We
welcome submissions from any discipline and encourage international and
interdisciplinary work as well as submissions from those producing new
media or working in multimedia studies.
The deadline for submissions of paper/session proposals is 15 MARCH, 2000.

ICE CREAM FOR EVERYONE - The 'CRASH!' gig
+Saturday 11th December
1pm - 4pm
+Institute of Contemporary Art
The Mall
London
SW1
+ As part of Kate Glazer's 'Think-Tank' at 'Crash!', we'll be giving away
as much ice cream as we can in 3 hours. It's your ice cream. We want you to
have it back. It's ice cream for everyone!
+ Lowdown: http://bak.spc.org/ice
+ What they're saying:
"Very nice" Malcolm Mclaren
"Not very ICA" ICA's Production manager.
"What? In 10 minutes?" Kevin Rowland
"Not 'open source' ice cream; call it free" Richard Stallman
+ What we're saying:
"They said it couldn't be done, but we've revived the lost recipe of
Wakefield's rightful ice cream generales, the "Greco Brothers".
Through careful study and months of reverse-engineering, we've managed to
piece together a taste from the recent past: from popular memory, the
peoples' ice cream; from before the days of dairy-glut and self-absorbed,
luxury frozen fondant; the meeting of Italian and British popular-cultures.
Locally made with whole ingredients and no preservatives or stabilizers,
this ice cream defies the restrictive practices of corporate food empires,
releasing ice cream's potential to speak from many and varied cultural
contexts.
So far, it's been made only in small batches; a secret let slip, spoonful
by spoonful, to eager friends and family.
But now it's time to go public..."
