CALL FOR FUNERAL DIRECTORS--The Five Funerals Project
Deadline: 12/30/2010
Five funerals will take place in Spring 2011 at The Charnel House, a former funeral home in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. Each of the five Sundays in May will be dedicated to the contemplation of one notional death and a celebration of its notable life.
Apply at http://fivefunerals.com/
The community will gather to reminisce and tell stories of an honored cultural idea that has passed away without the fanfare it deserved. The Alliance of Pentaphilic Curators (J. Dunda and T. McClelland) will set the stage for five different Chicago writers or artists to host as the funeral Celebrant each week. Each selected master of ceremonies (Celebrant) will be responsible for setting the broad theme of each funeral and will be charged with the task to invite other cultural producers to participate and enhance the occasion with specific mourning actions and events. Celebrants will be chosen based upon proposals that detail their intended decedent and how they hope to honor him/her/it.
Possible themes could include but are not limited to:
-things we just discovered never really existed (the Brontosaurus, retirement funds, diseases for which we received a wrong diagnosis)
-places and things that make Chicago 'not what it used to be' now that they’re gone (Field’s, the Ferris Wheel restaurant, the "Sears Tower", city controlled parking meters)
-things that seemed very important at the time (Y2K, relationships, online purchases, white teeth)
Each funeral reception to be artistically catered by Bleeding Heart Bakery. These Sunday events will be free and open to the public. Friends and family will enjoy a unique and appropriate epicurean tribute to each of the departed. Recipe books with the 5 different funeral delicacies and the written tribute to each of the special honorees will also commemorate the event.

Call for Proposals: ANTI Festival, Finland
Deadline: 12/31/2010
Eligibility: Chicago
Celebrate a decade of ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival: 27th of September to 2nd of October 2011, Kuopio, Finland.
Ten years of ANTI: it’s time to REMAKE, REBUILD, RENEW!
This is an open call to artists to propose a site-specific project for the 2011 ANTI Festival. We ask you to respond to the following theme:
REMAKE, REBUILD, RENEW
With economic, ecological and social change underway across the world, due impart to the financial crisis, we are challenged by the impact this process my have on our daily lives. Of course there has perhaps not been a time when this has not been the case but today that process could be seen to be accelerating. Governments and councils are involved in a dramatic remaking of financial and political structures – something soon to be felt in Kuopio. Around us environments are rapidly changing, be that by the rebuilding of urban environments (Kuopio’s market square is a case in point) or by our use of the world’s natural resources. In response we are asked to change, to re-imagine our everyday lives. Whether our response is positive, negative or neither it is a process that might well define our age.
For ten years ANTI has re-imagined the public and private spaces of Kuopio. Festival projects have reconfigured the everyday places of the city, asking us to rethink them, re-imagine and re-approach our relationship to the world around us. It’s that process that we’ll concentrate on for this 10th edition of the festival. Possible points of departure for your project might be:
How do you rebuild and remake in your creative practice?
What does it mean to re-imagine a previously made project?
What does it mean to revisit and re-imagine a known space?
How is change celebrated?
How is changed resisted?
How does the city effectively renew itself and what role might creative activity play in this?
All projects at ANTI are shown in the public space, and all have an integral relationship to space in which they occur. All forms of work are welcome.
The closing date for proposals to reach us is December 31st 2010.
Please carefully read the guidelines to submitting a proposal before completing the online application form. The guidelines can be found at(http://www.antifestival.com/2010/eng/info/proposals2011/).
