For our next quarterly theme, KAPSULA Magazine will look at art practices that generate work from calculative process. Perhaps not commonly associated with art-making, the business of computation nonetheless has a long history with artists. From Leonardo’s Vitruvian man to Roman Opalka’s number paintings, low-tech number-crunching to complex algorithms, the sublime has always belonged to two fields: aesthetics and mathematics. Of course, sublimity is the stuff of mass sensation, a tasteful excess—and by no coincidence, so is GOOD MEASURE.

KAPSULA is seeking papers that teeter on the edge between exactitude and infinity, experimenting with the way that raw, numerical information acts as process and translation in contemporary art practice.

The St. Charles Fine Line Creative Arts Center Kavanagh Gallery is hosting a multi media show titled “Out of Bounds,” featuring work that encompasses the definition of the title: beyond limit, banned, beyond the pale, forbidden, inaccessible, off-limits, prohibited, restricted. Jury Fee: $25 Members, $30 Non-Members.

Seeking artists to participate in an artist trading card exchange with other artists. Artist trading cards are small works of art that can be traded with other artists as a way to get creative, connect with other artists, and collect great art! Make 9 handmade cards and get 9 back by mail after deadline. Topic, subject matter, and materials for cards are open, as long as they implement something handmade and fit on the card and into a plastic sleeve. No entry fee to participate. Website has complete entry details and instructions. Exchanges happen 2-3 times a year. The next deadlines are December 8, 2015, and April 5, 2016.
