Aspect calls for Performance

Aspect is currently welcoming submissions for our
ninth volume, Performance. This issue will focus on
the broad spectrum of performance art — from the most
traditional interpretations to those integrating
advanced technologies, inanimate objects, passersby,
sites, and beyond.All submissions must include the following, and must
be postmarked before September 30, 2006.

mailing address, and e-mail)

commentary

educators, or other individuals with a broad
understanding of the artist’s work and the greater art
historical context. An artist cannot supply his or her
own commentary. The video should be between 5-12
minutes in length.You will be contacted by November 1 if your piece is
selected. At that point, the following additional
