New web based bi-annual Journal of fine art photography, altfotonet’s first deadline for applications is 30th June. They quote Jose Louis Brea:
“Perhaps one of the programmatic dreams of the avant-garde -which has been on hold for the longest period of time over the course of this century- was that of generating true ‘communities of media producers’, to use Bertolt Brecht’s well-known expression. His experiments with radio, those of Soviet artists with film, or of the soixante-huitard neo-avant-garde with video activism, guerrilla television, or cinéma-vérité were all part of a dream that never came true (but has never been given up, either): that of developing -through artistic practice itself, thus conceived as activism that is simultaneously politically and media oriented- autonomous public spheres, social interaction devices able to induce in the citizenry ways of direct communication, not media state.”
Promising.
