Thursday Club Call for Projects 2010 season starting January 2010
Deadline for submissions is: 5pm 10th December 2009
THURSDAY CLUB OPEN CALL ** THURSDAY CLUB OPEN CALL ** THURSDAY CLUB
OPEN CALL FOR PROJECTS & PROPOSALS
The Thursday Club is an open forum discussion group for anyone
interested in the theories and practices of cross-disciplinarity,
interactivity, technologies and philosophies of the state-of-the-art in
today’s (and tomorrow’s) cultural landscape(s). The Club is supported by
the Goldsmiths Digital Studios (GDS) and the Goldsmiths Graduate School.
Originally set up in October 2005 by GDS as a more informal setting for
research discussions, it has grown to include over 150 members, artists,
technologists, scientists, in fact, a growing diversity of people from
different communities worldwide, that are now connected via a mailing
list and online forum.
There are also regular meetings in ‘real' space at the Ben Pimlott site
of Goldsmiths, University of London. Anyone can attend these events. By
keeping these meetings free, informal and open to all, we provide a
platform for diverse and open ended discourse, for people who perhaps
would not have the opportunity to discuss ideas outside of their chosen
discipline.
The Thursday Club brings together people from diverse fields and degrees
of expertise, aiming to initiate discussion and debates among
postgraduate students, researchers, academics, artists, theorists, and
other cultural practitioners.
Since it focuses on interdisciplinary practices, the Club is interested
to experiment with innovative formats of presentation that are
appropriate to the nature of the subject. We particularly welcome the
proposal of round table discussions, panels, screenings, 'hearings',
live gigs and performance lectures as well as more traditional
presentations. We are also interested to platform experimental
work-in-progress, of both practical and theoretical nature.
Submission Materials
1. An A4 size page with your proposal (about 500 words); any relevant

2. A 200 words CV
3. Your contact details: name, address, email and telephone number

Jefferies ([log in to unmask]) and Patrick Tresset
([log in to unmask]) writing 'Thursday Club Submission' as a Subject.
The deadline for the 1st round for submissions of proposals is 10th December
