Transmodern Performance Festival
Baltimore, Maryland
PUBLICATION OPEN CALL:

Undertaking
TRANS
modern:

At the threshold of the present moment.
The Transmodern Performance Festival cordially invites you to submit scores,
ideas, images, essays, plays, poems, parlor games, recipes, instructions for
a performance, etc. for a publication on the theme of TRANSmodern. This
publication will work as a collection of musings on the state of being
“trans” (as in transcendent, transgressive, translated, transmogrified,
transgender, transient, etc.) in today's cultural and political landscape.
We are attempting to define and expand upon these concepts through variant
media and disciplines. By approaching these fascinating and complex
theories from an array of diverse fields and methods we will more adequately
represent the multifarious nature of these theories. The Transmodern
Performance Festival is constructing a publication which considers its topic
not solely through authoritative textual statements but through the visual
and the musical—the questioning and the suggesting.

Submissions:
The book will be a full color, perfect bound book with essays, drawings,
paintings, recipes, scores etc. Please consider subverting and inverting
these guidelines and expand upon the very premise.

Please include:
-Title
-Two sentence synopsis
-200 word proposal (including format, length and content)
-CV
-3-5 examples of previous work (texts documents, internet links, or images
[2.0 MB or less in size] )

Please e-mail submissions to TM_submissions@gmail.com by midnight April
fools day (no joke).
