I am proud to announce that Trifecta Publications is taking submissions for our first issue. As a submission-based publication, we are excited to see what original works you might be able to contribute. When we first came up with the idea for Trifecta, we had all of you in mind. Our first theme is BAMBOOZLED!.

Now, you might be asking yourself, “Who and what is Trifecta?” We, as people, are Alis Atwell, Ashley Singley, and Christopher Starbody. We, as Trifecta, are a submission-based triannual publication. We curate a collection of multimedia works by diverse artists and offer a broad range of perspectives on a simple idea. Our intent is to create a contained archive for collectors. Think “treasure box.”

Trifecta manufactures each individual archive by hand. We design the inside of the book around what you submit. We strive to work with our artists to create something unique, so we ask participants to be creative with the presentation of your submission and challenge us.

Each issue has a theme, which can be interpreted in any way you see fit.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINE:
Trifecta accepts a wide variety of submissions. Please feel free to submit anything that moves you: audio, photocopies, video, text, found material, screen prints, photographs, etc. We don’t discriminate—we love it all. Please make sure that your submission is based on the announced theme. If we accept your submission, we will contact you within three weeks.
We only accept electronic submissions. Please send materials to trifectapublishing@gmail.com. Once accepted, the artist is responsible to supply fifty-four copies. FIFTY-FOUR copies! Yes, this may sound like a lot, but this is a chance to be a part of something unique. We aren’t asking for archival prints or hand-painted pieces (though we will gladly accept them), but we are asking you to be creative in your submissions.

Since this is our premiere project we can not issue monetary compensation, but we are offering a new way of thought and collaboration in order to present a wide range of ideas that will take your work, and the art world, to new heights. Additionally, we will be using all our man power to ensure that your work is presented in the highest quality to people in the professional world and into the hands of tastemakers and collectors around the world.

We only accept original pieces of art. If the piece has been published before, please let us know where.

Deadline for forthcoming issue: Monday, February 22, 2010

ABOUT US:
The founding members of Trifecta first met at Columbia College in Chicago. All three pursued a degree in photography and moved to New York on separate occasions to pursue careers in the arts. Feeling stifled by the art scene, but connected by the Midwest, these three curators decided to start a publication that is completely unique and challenging.

Alis Atwell: Founder, Editor, and Curator
Ashley Singley: Founder, Editor, and Curator
Christopher Starbody: Founder, Editor, and Curator

As of today, we have added Veronica Rafael to our list of curators. Veronica is a rising senior at Parsons the New School for Design in the photography program, and runs the blog Veronica Prefers Bears. She will be editing the artist space section of the site, and will be updating it on a regular basis.

If you have submitted in the past, Veronica will be looking through past submissions, but please feel free to send new work.

The theme for the show is Typologies. The typology has become a major part of the history of photography as well as a major force in contemporary photography. We wanted to see what the current state of the typology is and how current artists are using it.
The show will include up to 20 artists and each artist will have 3 pieces of work up, a link to their website (if you have one), and contact information.

1. Make sure your work actually falls under the category of Typology.

2. Send us three images that are 700 pixels on the longest side.

3. Make sure they are in a jpg format. No PSDs no TIFFs no GIFs.

4. Send them in an email to us at fractionmag@gmail.com Make sure the subject of your email is Group Show. Please include your name, website address (if you have one) and an email address where you can be reached.

5. The deadline for submission is October 10th. We will decide on the final artists by October 15th. Publication of Issue 4 will be in early November.

Let’s face it – themes are kind of “done”. Not all that exciting any more. But they do serve a purpose in terms of organising submissions and inviting more focussed contemplation. So, the online ITCH magazines will be themed… but in an abstract way. Our themes are drawn from the things that we use every day: punctuation symbols. Yep, we know it’s a little “left-field”, but we think it might be fun. If it doesn’t really work out, we can always change our minds later.

The theme for the second issue is:
*

What does this mean? You tell us. You can interpret this in any way that you wish, visually or textually. We want our themes to be provocative rather than prescriptive.

Deadline: September 7, 2008. E-mail submissions to the ITCH editor.

It’s that time of the year again when we call for submissions for the next edition of the Semi-Permanent book. As always there are no rules in terms of the style of artwork. It can be anything that can be formatted to the correct size and then printed.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Please read the guidelines carefully before submitting. Any submissions that do not follow the guidelines will not be considered.

2. Do not just email us a load of random artwork that you have not even adjusted to the correct size. We are not asking for your portfolio, we want specific submissions that you have either created for the book or chosen from your past work and resized into the appropriate format.

3. DO NOT send us high res files until we ask you to. This annoys the hell out of us and your work will not be considered for the book. If you do not have the correct software to reduce your files you should ask a friend to help you.

Deadline: November 30, 2008

For more information on how to submit see: semipermanent.com/book-subs.html
