Call For Entries: "Stop Bush" DVD and Book
From Josh at Justseeds: "If you have done any Anti-Bush graphics, I want them! And if you have any photos of anti-Bush public expression, ie. graffiti, marker scrawl, stencils, pasted posters, stickers, glass etchings, finger writing on dirty trucks, you name it, iwant to see it...Check out the call below for "Stop Bush" DVD and Book.
This looks like it's going to be a great project, the book will be about 80 pages and I'm going to cram as many graphics and photos in there as i can, and we hope to create a gallery of graphics on the DVD that you can cruise through with a remote control, sort of like the style wars dvd for anyone thats seen that...
so, send me more art!
solidarity,
josh

Announcing an exciting new project!!!
STOP BUSH: A MULTIMEDIA ARCHIVE AND TOOLKIT
Call for Submissions (DEADLINE: April 1, 2004)
anti-Bush movies, protest graphics, design, and street art from 2000-2004 sponsored by Clamor Magazine, Counter Productive Industries, justseeds, and Rooftop Films
Since the day Bush stepped into the White House, there has been a torrent of visual art created to get him out. Much of this amazing work has come and gone - hoisted as a sign at a protest, wheatpasted on a wall one early morning, or broadcast on public access cable. Now in 2004, as we build for his eviction, we are compiling many of these anti-Bush movies, graphics, stencils, posters, and photographs into a dvd/print booklet project called "Stop Bush: A Multimedia Archive and Toolkit."
If you use culture for resistance, this will be your toolkit. "Stop Bush" will provide inspiration to cover public walls, content to set up film screenings, and lessons in propaganda.
As the name suggests, there are two purposes for this project:
With these purposes in mind, submissions will be selected for inclusion in the DVD and print booklet based on their aesthetic and critical qualities and their tactical usefulness.
NOTE
- There is no admission fee, though donations are welcome (checks in any amount made out to Clamor Magazine).
- Video material should be submitted on VHS. There are no lengthrestrictions, though shorter is better. Trailers and clips from features are encouraged.
- Print and design material may be submitted in paper or electronic formats. All graphics and photographs of street art submitted electronically should be high-resolution tif or jpg files. Email to stopbush@justseeds.org or mail a CD to the address below.
- All materials must be received by April 1, 2004
- Materials will not be returned
(This project is primarily for already-produced material, though original writing and artwork on this topic should be sent to Clamor Magazine for consideration by June 20, 2004.)
