Event: 60 Writers/60 Places
60 Writers/60 Places, a film by Luca Dipierro and Michael Kimball
will be screened as part of Pratt's Writer's Forum at 12 PM., Friday,
December 11, in the Engineering Building, Room 371, on Pratt's Brooklyn
Campus. The film is free and open to the public.
Produced by Little Burn Films, 60 Writers/60 Places is 60 different writers
reading their work for 60 seconds each in 60 different places. 60
Writers/60 Places is about writers and their writing occupying
untraditional spaces, everyday life, everywhere. There is Blake Butler
reading on the subway, Deb Olin Unferth in a laundromat, Jamie
Gaughran-Perez in a beauty salon, Tita Chico in a dressing room, Giancarlo
DiTrapano in front of a church, Tao Lin next to a hot dog cart, Adam
Robison in an artist's studio, and Adam Robinson in a dumpster.
60 Writers/60 Places begins with the idea of the tableaux vivant, a living
picture where the camera never moves. But instead of silently holding their
poses, the writers read a short excerpt of their work-another kind of
framing that linguistically echoes the frame of the tableaux vivant. The
film uses ideas from painting, stage performance, early photography,
contemporary photo compositing, other documentaries (e.g., Jorgen Leth's 66
Scenes from America), and old postcards.
There is an interaction between each writer, their writing, and the place
in which they read. Besides the internal structure of each shot, there is
an external architecture that accumulates among the 60 places. The writer
and the writing go on no matter what is going on around them.
Several of the writers featured in the film will be present at the
screening. For more information on the film, visit
http://www.littleburnfilms.com/60Writers60Places.html.
Friday Forum is curated by co-directors Nelly Reifler and Gina Zucker,
and is sponsored by the Pratt Writing Program. For more information on

News & Events: Way of The Word!
The Fall 2009 issue is currently in production, thanks to everyone who submitted artwork and writing. Be sure to stay in touch for updates and events! Take some time from school work to check out this reading, featuring past Ubiquitous staff and contributors:
There is a misconception that poetry, as a conceptual art form, speaks only to a select audience. In truth poetry has kept up a great pace with popular culture and has continually been reinterpreted through each successive generation broadening its breadth and definition. It is in the spirit of language arts that REPUBLIC presents the first installment of its recurring “Way of the Word” program at Bar On A.
“Way of the Word” opens Wednesday, November 11, 2009 to a unique evening of art, poetry, performance and music by emerging artists in the New York poetry world. Artists and poets include: Artists: Edward Hopely, Brian VanRemmen and more, slam poets: Khephran Riddick and Aldrin Valdez and traditional poets: Davey Vacek, Katie Przybylski, Marissa Forbes, Peter Ford, and three founding members of a Brooklyn based poetry group called The Corresponding Society—Lonely Christopher, Robert Snyderman, and Jason Tallon.
Doors open at 7pm with a visual and interactive gallery hour for the artists, poets, and guests before the poetry readings begin at 8pm. Drink specials are provided by Bar On A from 7 to 9pm. Bar On A is located at 170 Avenue A, between 10th and 11th Streets.
A short event anthology, featuring poets from the show and around the nation will be available for purchase online and at the door for $15. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to *Reading Excellence and Discovery* (READ.), a foundation that promotes literacy by pairing qualified high school tutors with elementary students who demonstrate below grade level reading skills.
For more information about “*Way of the Word*,” READ or REPUBLIC please contact republicbrooklyn@gmail.com or call (443) 528-6761 or (917) 273-2712

NaNoWriMo Novel Writing Competition
Has that plot bunny in your head been sitting idly, never taking the time to be written onto paper (or a computer screen, whatever your preference)?
Maybe you should take interest in NaNoWriMo's National Writing Month (which would be November) where the goal is to write 50,000 words starting from November 1st to November 30th of 2008. Winners will have their words counted and win a nice little certificate (sorry guys, no cash) along with the satisfaction of writing mercilessly without worrying about spelling errors.
It's all about quantity, not quality, so make mistakes and just keep writing!
Please visit this link for more information. No entry fee. Just fun!
NaNoWriMo Novel Writing Competition
NaNoWriMo also deletes all entries after the competition is over so you will not have to worry about your frantically written novel appearing somewhere.

Online classes and Inspiration
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation so far. :D
I have found this really great site, a group of independent designers and illustrators that have gathered together to create "Imaginism Studios". There are links on their page to helpful resources, such as online classes like digital painting, character design, story boarding and so on. Their artwork is also very imaginative and inspiring (in my opinion). And if you live in Toronto, there's a subway sketching group that meet up to draw people while riding the trains!
Please drop by and take a look. This link will also be placed on the right side of the page with the other links. Enjoy.
