TAKE ACTION: Publications Residency Curated by Shannon Gerard, OCADu Student Gallery, Toronto ON
For the month of June, the OCADu Student Gallery will be transformed into a publications studio, with access to a variety of reproduction processes including screenprinting, photocopying, and risograph, as well as perfect binding and hand book sewing. Together participants will create works that advocate for political agency. Those works may include books, performances, posters, artist multiples, and more. There are a number of ways you can take part
THEMATIC RESIDENCY:
The Student Gallery, in its precarity as a site of impending redevelopment, is an ideal space to consider questions of citizenship. Participants in Public Action will consider how the form of the publication, with its emphasis on voice and political strategy, is a unique form of civic and cultural engagement. The Public Action Thematic Residency runs between June 4 and 27, Tuesdays through Thursdays 10am – 5pm (with flexible attendance requirements).
Public Action is facilitated by Shannon Gerard and Mary Tremonte. Invited artists include Paul Kjelland, Leila Pourtavaf, and Agata Mrozowski (June 4-14,) Anthea Black and Jennie Suddick (June 18-27).
Residency fees are Pay What You Can, $100 suggested.
OPEN STUDIO:
Bring your own plans for small run publications of any kind and work in a facilitated environment with access to screenprinting, risograph, photocopying, design advice, perfect binding and bookmaking during the following hours:
Tuesday – Thursday, 2-5 PM
Friday 10-5 PM
Rates: $8 per hour or $100 per week (Sliding scale also available, inquire!)
NIGHT SCHOOL:
Informal presentations from invited speakers are concurrent with potluck family-style dinners and robust conversation on issues relevant to Publication.
See calendar for dates and details!
BOOK LAUNCH DANCES:
Let’s put the Action in Public Action by celebrating the social-political life of books, on the dance floor. Licensed events! With DJ Mary Mack and Special Friends! Fresh Publications available for swap and sale. June 14 and 27, 7-10 pm.

Gallery Gachet Call for Submissions, Vancouver BC
Gallery Gachet welcomes proposals that challenge mental health stigmas, barriers to full social, cultural, and economic participation; as well as ideas that focus on public engagement (actively involving the audience in an interactive dialogue and cultural mediation), disability arts, or art for social change. They actively look to create and maintain collaborations within the mental health and cultural sectors, as well as the local Downtown Eastside neighbourhood. Exhibitions may thematically coincide with other events and festivals.
Gallery Gachet supports artists that have experienced marginalization through their mental health, trauma and/or abuse, by working for cultural and economic justice. However, it is not necessary that artists have experienced mental illness or social marginalization personally, but the work must speak to our mandate in specific and interesting ways. Their programming features a range of art practices from contemporary to outsider, and a diversity of mediums: photography, video, performance art, drawing, 3D, installation, ceramics, textiles and more.
Gallery Gachet is accepting proposals for solo, group, juried, curated, or major exhibition projects; as well as screenings, workshops, residencies, performances and collaborations. They pay CARFAC fees, and provide support for openings, catering, marketing, A/V equipment, and installation.
Additional Submission info can be found at http://gachet.org
For more info, please contact: Lara Fitzgerald, Programming Director, programming@gachet.org, or call 604 687 2468.
Deadline for submissions: June 15, 2013
