CHRIS MATTHEWS TO MODERATE PANEL ON PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ADS WITH ADVISERS TO GEORGE W. BUSH AND JOHN EDWARDS, AND ACCLAIMED AUTHOR DREW WESTENMUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE PANEL DISCUSSION AT THE TIMES CENTER ON SEPTEMBER 24 AT 7:30 P.M.
TV ads play a critical role in presidential politics, defining the major issues of a campaign and evoking strong emotional responses for and against individual candidates. The Museum of the Moving Image will present a panel discussion “Winning Ads, Winning Campaigns,” that will offer an inside view of the art and politics of campaign ads. The panel will be moderated by NBC’s Chris Matthews, the host of Hardball with Chris Matthews and The Chris Matthews Show.
Participants include Mark McKinnon, who ran the media campaigns for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, and is currently working on John McCain’s campaign; Marius Penczner, John Edwards’s 2008 media consultant; and Drew Westen, author of The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation. The program, on Monday, September 24, 2007, at 7:30 p.m., will take place at The Times Center, 242 West 41 Street (between 7th and 8th Avenues), Manhattan. Tickets are $12 for Museum members/$25 non-members/free for Sponsor-level members and above. A discounted group rate is available. Call 718.784.4520 or order online at movingimage.us.
“Winning Ads, Winning Campaigns” was inspired by the Museum’s popular online exhibition The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2004, which explores the critical role that television ads play in presidential politics. The Times Center program will include a presentation by the Museum’s Chief Curator, David Schwartz, of key ads from the past 50 years of presidential campaigns.

BAG Gallery Call for Submissions
To all artists
"The Politics of Power"
BAG Gallery invites all artists who have work addressing the theme "the politics
of power" to submit their work for consideration.
Brooklyn, NY Monday
Earlier this year, a large group of Brooklyn residents, architects, urban planners, designers and elected officials gathered in Fort Greene to collaborate on UNITY 2007, a community-driven vision for the development of the Vanderbilt Yards. The workshop was based on community-developed Planning Principles - and the original UNITY Plan, created in 2004, which served as the basis for the Extell Development Company's bid for the MTA-owned
railyards.
The results of the UNITY 2007 workshop, including large-scale models, will be unveiled this coming Monday (details follow below). Come see how UNITY 2007 would transform the Yards
without displacing residents or overwhelming surrounding neighborhoods.

BAG Gallery Call for Submissions
To all artists
"The Politics of Power"
BAG Gallery invites all artists who have work addressing the theme "the politics
of power" to submit their work for consideration.
* submission deadline: October 18th, 2007
* medium: mixed (see below)
* gallery show dates: November 19 to December 8, 2007
* opening reception: December 1, 6:00-9:00 pm
* award: Three month Artist's Residency at BAG.
Winner notified on night of show opening reception.
The Theme
It is interesting if you Google "politics power," the first site is a document from the National Defense University, the second is Wikipedia's hit on "Machtpolitik," and the third is a 2005 Harvard International Review article, "The Politics of Power," about nation-state power. Mostly, the phrase "politics of power" seems to move people to think of how power is used to manipulate and coerce in the political or national and international arena.
In this show, we are looking to expand how politics and power are connected, or even what they are. We are casting a wide net, in the hopes of bringing in new, original, and fully-felt insights and images about the politics of power. Images created via any medium will be accepted for consideration (i.e. photography, video, painting, sculpture, installation, illustration, alternative
medium, etc.), so long as the object is created by a working artist. All works must not exceed 48 inches in width, height or depth and may not suspend from the ceiling.
For all details and to sign up online visit here.
