Fun-A-Day
2nd Annual Fun-A-Day In the Bay
Artclash Collective West
Rock Paper Scissors Collective
Feb. 5th, 2010
6pm-9pm
www.artclash.comrpscollective.com
Friday, February 5th: Rock Paper Scissors hosts the Artclash Collective’s second annual Fun-A-Day in the Bay. Organized by a group of Philly ex-pats, Fun-A-Day in the Bay builds on Artclash’s annual tradition (6 years strong) of organizing Fun-A-Day shows in Philadelphia.
Fun-A-Day is a simple concept that produces beautiful results. Participants choose a project and produce one piece of artwork every day for the entire month of January. The 31 resulting pieces create a narrative outlining each artist’s journey through the first month of the year. Projects vary from lighthearted to serious, high-brow to low-brow. This year’s list of mediums includes photos, drawings, paintings, dances, songs, textiles and more!
The desire to create is a fundamental expression of humanity that we are often alienated from or fearful of. Fun-A-Day seeks to remove the barriers to creativity by offering opportunities and invitations for participation. We believe everyone is an artist and everything you make is art; we seek to create a welcoming forum for people to share what they do, to strengthen existing communities of artists, and to kick-start new ones.
The Fun-A-Day show will be held at Rock Paper Scissors, 2278 Telegraph Ave in Oakland. RPS is “is a volunteer-run organization that fosters creativity and collaboration in order to strengthen local communities and encourage sustainable practices and alternative models”. Visit rpscollective.com for more information about the gallery. The Fun-A-Day show will be up in the gallery for the entire month of February. The show is free and all-ages and will feature performances on opening night. Come out and see what your friends (and future friends) have been up to during the first month of 2010!

Call for Artwork: May 2010
Beyond Bicycles
The Gossamer Albatross crossed the English Channel in 1979. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossamer_Albatross
This is a call for work – Artists, Thinkers, Creators – We seek your human-powered machines, bicycle-based inventions, and interactive kinetic sculpture. In May of 2010, Rock Paper Scissors Collective is hosting BEYOND BICYCLES a celebration of the art, science, and politics of harnessing human power. Our inspiration is the bicycle, a simple machine that has transformed our experience of moving through the world. We see the bicycle as possibility, the tip of the big ol’ iceberg of human potential energy.
BEYOND BICYCLES will be an exhibition documenting the many ingenious uses of human power past and present. The Gallery space at Rock Paper Scissors Collective is limited so large works will only be displayed during opening night. Our month long exhibition will consist of a collection large color photographs of works, accompanied by a printed zine. There will also be a web zine which will be more extensive than the printed version.
We invite you to send us your work – past, present and future. What do you do with your potential and what do you believe is possible? Please send us digital images (no more than 10M at a time), specifications and descriptions. If you have video, please send us a link. We will accept proposals if your work is as yet unrealized. Include your contact information and let us know whether or not your work will be available for the May 7th opening. If your work is chosen, please be prepared to write a one to three page piece (how-to, history, etc.) about it for the exhibition zine.
The submission deadline is March 15th.
