AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

Ugly Duckling Presse would like to introduce you to Emergency INDEX, an
annual print publication documenting new performance in the words of its
creators. Because performance transcends disciplinary boundaries, INDEX
includes performances of every kind, from any genre, made anywhere in the
world for any purpose.

Emergency INDEX is modeled after the “Artist’s Chronicle” of the magazine
High Performance (1978-1997). In its pages, early performance art in the
1970s defined itself through actual works as reported by the artists who
made them. Though INDEX is not limited to performance art, it uses a
structure similar to the “Artist’s Chronicle” to allow makers of all kinds
of performance to define the state of their field.

Each document printed in INDEX will include a written description focused on
the problems driving the work and the tactics used to address them, an image
of the performance, and information about its dates, locations, and
creators. An index of terms shared by the varied contributors will serve to
connect geographically or stylistically far-flung works. We especially
welcome political, commercial, scientific, therapeutic, or other works not
typically documented as performance.

If you would like to document a performance work you made in 2011, please
proceed to the INDEX website (www.emergencyindex.com) and read the
guidelines for submission.

The deadline for submission is January 3, 2012.
