Have you ever helped a painting get vertical ?
The Queen of the Hairy-Chinned Gypsies fixes an even gaze on Iris. Her look is neither remorseful nor angry. She's uglier than Ruth or Iris herself could ever be, shriveled and pocked, horny of hand, brown of tooth. She leans on her canes as if she's been walking the same road these thousand years. She says to Iris, And what will you make of yourself?

Porbus hesitated; he dared not speak, but the anxiety revealed in the old man's features was so cruel that he could only point to the canvas and stammer, "See for yourself!"

Are you one to answer a Call for Submissions:
POIESIS:A Journal of the Arts & Communcation 2010: Artwork submissions
Deadline: February 25, 2010
POIESIS is an international periodical which annually publishes research from the fields of Expressive Arts and Media and Communication. We are currently accepting submissions for artwork to include in the journal.
This year's theme for the 12th annual issue: POIETICS OF ALTERITY: Opening to the Other in the Arts, Media and the Arts Therapies.
How can we represent the Other? How can the Other represent us? In this issue of the journal, we will be looking at ways in which we may open to the Other in the arts, media and the arts therapies. Is art a vehicle for the expression of the self or does it necessarily imply transcendence toward otherness? What, if anything, is a self and how does it reach out to the Other, both the other person and the otherness of itself? Can poiesis be a basis for ethical practice or is there, as Kierkegaard thought, an insuperable gap between the aesthetic and the ethical?
We encourage contributors to open to otherness to bring in “All things counter, original, spare, strange…” (Hopkins), going beyond the boundaries of the proper, of their own intellectual property, and venturing onto foreign ground. Without pretending to identify with the Other, we may yet find ways to recognize him or her, in Baudelaire’s words, as the Hypocrite lecteur, -mon semblable, -mon frere, together with whom we can better combat that “delicate monster” of Ennui.
ARTWORK SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please send via email to the art submissions coordinator at the email address listed below:
- low-res sample of your proposed work (max 2mb, max. 4 images)
- description of the works should include the medium, dimensions and date.
- a 50-word artist’s bio.
- your website address (if any)
All submissions are accepted on a volunteer basis: unfortunately, EGS Press is not in a position to financially compensate its contributors at this time. All contributors will receive a copy of the journal.

simpleposie is fascinated with the not entirely but nevertheless rather discombobulated ongoingness of this debate. Therefore, as with the next several questions, simpleposie wants to know:
Should a Cultural Concierge be more critical?
simpleposie wants to know:
Have you ever found it useful to pose a question such as, "... which is more important to write about, art that the critic ‘likes’ or art that is “important for its stature, timing or positioning?"
simpleposie wants to know:
simpleposie wants to know:
Would you say "Art is a language. Criticism is about trying to translate the language while keeping it from descending into slang."?
simpleposie wants to know:
How should a critic cope with the idea "...there is far less ‘bad’ art out there and more that is 'important for its stature, timing or positioning but flawed'"?
