Call for Submissions and Recommendations for new LUX/ Light Industry Publication
Artists' Film and Video: An Anthology of New Writing is a forthcoming publication collecting the best new international writing on and about artists' film and video, published by LUX, London and Light Industry, New York.
Inspired by Live Art Development Agency's 'Live Art Almanac', 'Artists' Film and Video: An Anthology of New Writing' will collect recent writing on and about international artists' moving image in all of its forms - including but not limited to essays, interviews, reviews, news stories, obituaries, commentaries, artists' writings, manifestos, letters, emails, rants, etc. The publication aims to be non-partisan in its approach, capturing the breadth and diversity of perspectives in this area of practice.
We are seeking submissions and recommendations for material now. What have you seen in the last two years (2008-2009) that you feel has captured or reflected on issues and debates which have currency in contemporary artists' film and video? We are primarily looking for writing that has been published or circulated in the past two years, but will consider unpublished/undistributed writing as well. What is important is that the pieces be thoughtful, engaging contributions to discourse in this area. We are interested in things you have read, but also that you have written, the only limit is that texts should be under 5,000 words in length. Although the publication will be in English, we are also interested in texts in translation. Deadline: 26 February, more information see http://bit.ly/72VAbm

LUX Critical Forum - call for expressions of interest
Building on the LUX Associate Artists Programme, LUX is setting up a monthly critical forum for artists who work with the moving image to show and discuss their work with other artists. At the moment we are trying to get a sense of the level of interest there might be for such an initiative and thinking about how it might best work.
The purpose of the forum would be to create a mutually supportive environment in which to show, see and discuss work. The forum take place on a monthly basis at the LUX office for up to 20 artists. It would be supported by LUX (in terms of space, equipment, refreshments, online forum space and advice) but would ultimately need to be self-organising in terms of the way meetings were run and organised (ie participants would need to be willing to take on active organising role such as chairing the meetings). In terms of a structure we imagine that each meeting will last for up to 3 hours and focus on the work and practice of up to 4 members. After the initial setting up LUX staff wouldn't be involved in the actual meetings but will work with the members to support the development of the group.
The forum would be for artists who are no longer in education (ie who do not have access to this kind of support and discussion) and who are willing to commit to the group as a participant for a period of time (tbc). For practical purposes, as the meetings will take place in London participants will probably need to be based here (or able to get here easily).
If you are interested in being part of such a group please drop us a line with your name to criticalforum@lux.org.uk. We will then get in touch with you to set up an initial meeting to discuss the idea further and how it might best work.
