News from VIP WEBISM member Ann Tracy, Sacramento, CA, USA

Read what fabulous Ann has to tell us:

"...exciting news from your Webist in Sacramento....I'm directing the West Coast premiere of a one-woman show called "Does this Show Make my Butt Look Fat?", a comedy about body image, fashion dictators and chocolate which opens April 3rd.

I've also been invited to be a judge at a one-person theatre festival in Bacau, Romania from April 10th to the 16th. It follows on the heels of a conference on international art residencies I'm going to in Boston.

I will be able to spend a couple of days in Bucharest and visit our newest member Carmen! She's even going to make dinner for me - can't wait!

And because of a flight change, I will have to spend the night in Munich on April 19th.... I will probably staying at the Sheraton at the airport (because I can get a discount there) ... but if any Webists are in the area, would love to arrange to meet for drinks at the hotel, or someplace else I can get to by taxi!

take care everyone!

Cheers

Ann Tracy

Create art that somehow relates to 5 and get published when chosen

This month's bounded-art theme is . . . 5! Spring 2009 marks Alive Magazine's fifth anniversary, so we want you to create art that somehow relates to 5. Interpret that as you will -- as long as it doesn't denigrate another person, we'll put it in our bounded art album. Any art you send us will also be considered for inclusion in the magazine! Send a hi-res picture of your art to media@alivemagazine.org.

(Very) SHORT STORY by YOU...

From VICTOR VIDAL


Invitation message

Dear friends

I am planning to publish a collection of very short stories. I need your contribution. The story should be at most of 4 lines. Write a story as soon as possible and send it to me to: vvv@imm.dtu.dk Feel free to forward this mail to a friend who can send the story to me. After some time, I will select the best stories for publishing.

Here are some examples:

SURPRISE
A beautiful blond was in his bed when he woke up. She was made of plastic!

Victor, 20.05.09

AMBITION
The story was short but ambitious. It wanted to grow and to become many stories high.

Art in the Dark - idea by VIP WEBISM member Kenneth-Edward Swinscoe

Kenneth-Edward Swinscoe:
"...this time I have thought of something completely different “Art in the dark” the works being shown in a completely darkened room and the podiums and the exhibition walls covered with black paper, the works a Paintings and Sculptures being lit up with spots.



Here is the poster that I have designed for the show."

WEBISM network on NING now visible for members only

Today I had to set our WEBISM network http://webism.ning.com to private because of SPAM and "grabbing" action by some folks. That means now only members can view the content. Everybody can apply to join but now has to answer quite some questions to get in:

- Gender
- First Name
- Surename (last name)
- Location
- Profession
- Activities and thoughts you want to share on- and/or offline
- What do you expect and what will you bring to the table

- I will upload a portrait photo immediately. I will upload my art and other content fitting to the art theme of this network within 3 days after joining. Pages with no content will be deleted after one month.

- How did you find our network. If you have been invited please let us know who invited you.

- Inviting members of this group to another group is ok.
ADDRESSING EACH AND EVERY MEMBER WITH THE SAME TEXT WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE TO GET THEM TO YOUR OWN NETWORK CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.

ALSO NOT ACCEPTABLE: TO "JUMP" ON EVERY MEMBER OF THE GROUP TO PUT THEM TO THE FRIENDS SECTION.

We WEBISTS are not any group. We are not just a contact platform. We want to work together on- and offline actively and closely as we always did and do since 2003.
