The emerging artist is thrown back on her own devices -- "Why do I do this? For my peers, for those who care about art, or for myself?" What can we ascertain about why artists make work for themselves? One answer might be that artists have a yearning to see what it would look like, referring to odd visual juxtapositions, social engagements, cultural interrogations, new ways of seeing familiar things, political intrusions, or formal innovations. The curators invite artists to submit works that use anticipation -- their own and the viewers' -- as a means to see the world anew every day. * CALL FOR ENTRIES - BIG BANG FILM FESTIVAL - Deadline-10/11/2007 http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=771 We are pleased to announce the Big Bang Film Festival, a celebration of exciting and inventive films in the Action, Adventure, Suspense and Asian Action Cinema genres.
