empty pr(oe)mises | Greece | open call

empty pr(oe)mises | Greece | open call
deadline:  1 December , 2016 


EMST (The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens), in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Cuts, Leonardo Electronic Almanac (MIT Press) and with Arts Administration @ Boston University launches a call for artworks open to international artists on the theme of empty pr(œ)mises.
empty pr(œ)mises, conceived and curated by Lanfranco Aceti and Katerina Koskina, will focus on the intertwining of the words promises and premises.
How does one inhabit emptiness? For this project artists are invited to visualize and localize within the space of the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (EMST) the struggle between the promises of future ideas and the processes of their realizations in the empty premises which should host them.
The promises clash against the reality of the premises which oblige a re-evaluation of the idea itself, but also of our identity in relationship to the promises made. The infinite possibilities of realization embedded in the promises of a space and the restrictions of contemporary spatial and socio-political realities inherent to the premises entangle with the role that the virtual and physical premises play both as space and context. These multiple interconnections can either support or disrupt the potential fulfillment and manifestation of the functions of promises and premises.
In the complex entwining and conflicting negotiations of ideas, placemaking, materials and technologies as well as architectural and engineering structures, lies the artists and curators’ struggle in defining art spaces, processes, interventions and materializations. These are a reflection of socio-political and cultural phenomena that shed a light on the ontology of an aesthetic that is both of being and becoming.
The artworks, as projects in fieri (in development), because of their very nature of proposals – similarly to architectural projects – will define and shape the emptiness of the space of the EMST, bringing to light the infinite arrays of creative and aesthetic possibilities.
These aesthetic propositions, contrary to architectural projects, will not remain at the stage of ideas but will be collected in a publication by the Leonardo Electronic Almanac – MIT Press.  In this publication each artist’s proposed artworks can be displayed over ten pages, or ‘spaces’, with images in full colour. The collection thus created with multiple proposals will embody the role that the EMST could play in both the international and national contemporary art scenes.

The artists’ proposed images will also be displayed on the online space of the EMST and the Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC) – creating a public archive of ideas. Each image will also be disseminated via social media. The existence of these proposals for the empty premises of the EMST holds the promise of their possible realization in the physical space of the museum. In this time of blended spaces and activities which transition publicly between the conceptual space, the virtual display and the physical realization – not necessarily in a pre-established and orderly fashion – the physical embodiment of an artwork is not strictly linked to its original location. The realm of possibilities are embedded in the premise (intended here as a conceptual assertion) of the artwork and these are increasingly unbound from the restrictions of the social-political realities that characterize the locus in which the project originated.
For their proposals we ask that artists consider all of the above, with special consideration to the context of this project rooted in the long awaited building of the EMST (National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens) which was built to host an important international collection of contemporary art. The impact of the financial crisis has left a new and completed empty building, at the very centre of modern-day Athens, suspended and awaiting the realization of its function: trapped in between promises and premises, realities and virtualities, local and international expectations.

Re-Directing: East Curatorial Residency | Warsaw

Re-Directing: East Curatorial Residency | Warsaw
Deadline: February 28, 2016

Open call for Re-Directing: East Curatorial Residency on “The Making of Collective Agencies” at Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, Poland. Application open only to individuals living and working outside the EU for this special curatorial group residency.

The Artists-In-Residence Laboratory at the CCA Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw invites art professionals such as curators, organisers, researchers and art managers to apply for a one-month long residency. The notion of “re-directing” refers here to a need to facilitate collaborations in-between art initiatives, which due to geopolitical conditions hasn’t had many opportunities to collaborate thus far.The Re-Directing: East Curatorial Residency is a peer-learning workshop, a curatorial seminar, extended site exploration and a research opportunity for a group of four to six individuals together with the CCA team and local participants.
The participants are expected to share their experience and understanding of respective artistic and socio-political contexts, as well as to prepare themselves for participation in this year’s exploration of the topic “The Making of Collective Agencies.” This curatorial residency is a platform for developing a possible working collaboration with the CCA Ujazdowski Castle and other parties concerned in the years to come.
During the month long residency we want to (self) reflect on the curatorial practices that take place outside of formal institutions and which draw inspiration from critical, social, and collective modes of action for the commonwealth. The starting point will be to look at examples of social practices (e.g. cooperative work, like the Indonesian “gotong royong,” or the already non-existent Polish “communal work,” which has been replaced by modern forms of the “exchange platforms”), artistic (e.g. activities supporting the self-governance of artistic circles and also “alternative” institutions and forms of presentation and creation of art) and beyond, or post-artistic practices within politics, economics, and social life (protests, cultural resistance, informal education). We will utilize the presentations as well as the experiences of the participants to talk about the different strategies and consequences of entangling curatorial and artistic practices in collective actions and implementing within their frames political commentary regarding the position of specific collectives. The question of who and what collectives are, on behalf of those and within the frames of those which artistic statements are created will constitute another important issue.
The month long residencies: July 18–August 17, 2016
Submission deadline: February 28, 2016
The results will be announced by April 8, 2016

Selection will be based on the professional excellence of the applicant’s work and their plans for sharing the benefits of the exchange with artists and institutions in their home country / site of activities. Due to the programme agenda aiming at creating collaboration opportunities beyond the already existing cultural policies, we do not accept applications from individuals residing and working within the EU. Applicants must have sufficient knowledge of English to function independently and communicate with the A-I-R Laboratory staff and other residents.
It will be offering:
–Individual living space connected with the working space
–A grant of 3200 PLN / approx. 800 USD
–Reimbursement of travel costs
–Organizing a customised programme of lectures, presentations and study visits in Warsaw and beyond
–Organizing the final seminar including participants’ presentations created collaboratively during the residency
Please note that it is not cover visa fees or the insurance costs required for visa application.
How to apply
Please send an electronic version of your application in one document to the e-mail: air.opencall@gmail.com —preferred format: pdf (in English). The application document should include:
1. professional work experience in the form of a portfolio containing a description of maximum five projects

Singapore Fringe Festival 2017 | Open call

Singapore Fringe Festival 2017 | Open call
Deadline: March 4, 2016
Dates :  4 – 15 January 2017


"Who taught you to write in blood on my back? Who taught you to use your hands as branding irons? You have scored your name into my shoulders, referenced me with your mark. The pads of your fingers have become printing blocks, you tap a message on to my skin, tap meaning into my body."  Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

Open call for Singapore Fringe Festival 2017 – on the theme of ‘Art and Skin‘. The theme for M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2017 is Art and Skin. We are looking for works in all disciplines that will fall within that theme. Applications accepted from professional Singapore and international artists/ companies.
The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival is an annual festival of theatre, dance, music, visual arts and mixed media created and presented by Singaporean and international artists. Themed differently each year, the Festival aims to bring the best of contemporary, cutting-edge and socially-engaged works to the Singapore audience. The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival is set to be a creative centre, with a twin-purpose of innovation and discussion; a platform for meaningful and provocative art to engage our increasingly connected and complex world.

The largest organ of the human’s body is the skin. A vessel for protection, identification, attraction and stimulation. It sweats, stretches, tears, heals and scars. It defends, dies, shreds and regenerates. It crawls and tingles, calluses and ruptures. It burns, blisters, blushes, bruises and peels. It chaps and scales, it tingles, inflames and it wrinkles.
Each square inch of human skin is home to approximately 30 million bacteria and 20 feet of blood vessels. We renew our skin monthly, shedding approximately 600,000 skin particles a day. It is said that up to half the dust in our homes is made up of our dead skin.
In an age where we are more aware than ever of our image, our identity, and our potential to alter our own appearance, we hope that the theme of Art and Skin will welcome a creative exploration and dialogue into matters of identity, beauty, intimacy, sensitivity, pleasure, pain and shame.

---
Based in the Shire of East Pilbara, Western Australia, Art at the Heart is a unique artist in residency program that focuses on the creative interaction between the artist, the environment and local community. While exploring our magnificent region the artist will engage the local communities of Newman, Nullagine and Marble Bar in creative activities related to the artist’s practice and the body of work developed throughout the residency.
Over the residency period the selected artist will have the opportunity to develop a body of work around the 2016 theme of ‘light’. This development will be generously supported by a $15,000 artist fee. As part of the residency it is expected that the artist showcases their body of work and create an artwork to be gifted to the Shire as a legacy of the residency.
During the residency the selected artist will be expected to facilitate a series of community engagement opportunities for local artists and the broader community. In a detailed plan the artist will need to demonstrate how this engagement and creative exchange will take place. A $40,000 budget will be available to cover costs associated with the delivery of the community engagement and costs related to the creation of the artist body of work.
The successful artist will undertake a 6 -8 week residency within the Shire or East Pilbara ideally between the 1st August and the 30th September 2016. The exact dates will be negotiated
In its third year of a four year program, the 2016 Art at the Heart - Artist in residence program aims to:

Explore and showcase the local region through the exploration of the 2016 theme ‘light’
