Subject: [a-g] Innovative Writing Conference: Call for Proposals


&NOW: A Festival of Innovative Writing and Art
April 5-7, 2006, Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, IL (30 miles north of Chicago)
Proposal Deadline, October 15, 2005

****

This three-day festival, with two-time National Book Critics Circle Award
winner William H. Gass as featured writer (others TBA), will celebrate
contemporary aesthetic practice in its most inventive forms: writing,
visual, and multimedia art that is aware of its own institutional and
extra-institutional history, that is as much about its form and
materials-about language-as about subject matter.

&NOW will bring together a range of writers and artists
interested in exploring the possibilities of form and the limits of
expression; writers and artists working to emphasize text as a medium
and as an influence.

If traditional, mainstream art and literature are the equivalents of
19th Century still-life, innovative production might be the text
scrawled on genetically engineered cells--works more interested in
producing fantastic machines of art, rather than creating transparent
windows to a world that no longer exists.

By bringing together innovative writers and artists, &NOW will
take stock of the "other" tradition-and perhaps offer a glimpse of
where it is going.

Proposal Deadline: October 15, 2005 for readers of this as
