Call for media-based artwork: "Groundworks"

The exhibition "Groundworks: Environmental Collaboration in Contemporary
Art" is being organized at the Regina Miller Gallery at Carnegie-Mellon
University for the fall of 2005. The exhibition will include a range of
collaborative projects addressing environmental issues both nationally and
internationally. Work is sought for the media component of this
exhibition, which will be presented in a dedicated media gallery space. We
seek collaborative, media-based projects (either original media pieces or
documentation of completed collaborative projects) that creatively engage
the mechanisms of policy and planning used to govern a given
ecosystem. A diverse range of of ecosystems may be considered, including
urban, rural, uninhabited, or virtual (e.g. internet) systems. Engagement
may include direct renewal of the system, strategies of agency and social
participation, or others, but should strive to be conscious of its
aesthetic and ethical framework. We are especially seeking web-based,
computer-based or video pieces (DVD, VHS, etc.).
