Take Your Practice to the Next Level

Venice Biennale 2013 participant Transart alumnus Khaled Hafez: "Running Chromosome"
"With this work I stretched myself beyond my personal imagination in my two years at Transart."
 
 
Take Your Practice to the Next Level
Transart MFA or Studio PhD 
Preferred MFA and early PhD application deadline: December 1, 2013
 
Uniquely international for exchange and connections across cultural boundaries, with intensives in Berlin and New York, Transart's low-residency PhD, MFA and Certificate programs offer a plethora of input at residencies with dozens of innovative workshops, artist talks, lectures, pecha kuchas, walkshops, seminars, cultural tours to choose from; extensive individual and full group critiques with artists and curators; and performances, pop-up events and exhibitions to participate in. A recent residency program is here.
 
MFA CREATIVE PRACTICE
 
Offsite choose from an extensive pool of international curators, artists and theorists for advise and critique for your self-directed, independent art projects working in whatever media best expresses your vision.
 
For New York-based artist Virgil Wong "the community I've become a part of through Transart is already much more immersive than what I've developed in ten years of living and working as an artist in New York City". German photographer and performer Angelika Rinnhofer found: "...freedom and flexibility. Since a large number of students are accomplished artists and earn a living, Transart's concept is ideal to work toward a degree and to expand one's artistic career in addition to having a job."
 
Ongoing connections, critique and support are essential ingredients for a vital artistic practice and successful academic career. Alumni join an international group of emerging and mid-career artists and curators in the Transartist Collective to stay connected and active, continuing to show, curate and perform together internationally.
 
STUDIO PHD
 
Transart Institute offers the first and only low-residency PhD program exclusively for practice-based research (creative work). The artwork is the research in this 20-30 hour per week, three year program. Program info can be found on our website. The application process is explained here. A sample proposal can be found online. Proposal support options are available.
 
As always, faculty are happy to discuss programs with you in detail. Please contact Dr. Michael Bowdidge for an appointment: [email protected]

Sharjah Art Foundation 2014 Production Programme

Open call for artist grant
Deadline: January 31, 2014
Application fee: none

Sharjah Art Foundation announces the 2014 Production Programme Open Call for grants to artists working in a range of media. Up to $200,000 is available in this application cycle.

http://www.sharjahart.org/programmes/open-call-production-programme-2014

The Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF) Production Programme broadens the possibilities for the production of art in the MENASA region through a commitment to support innovation and excellence in artistic practice by encouraging risk and experimentation. This commitment places artists at the core of the Foundation’s mission by offering grants and professional support for the realisation of projects selected from an open call for proposals.

The past decade has seen an extraordinary rise in artistic activity throughout the Middle East, resulting in an increased visibility for artists both regionally and internationally. Within this context, the Foundation hopes to promote and encourage an environment of public and private patronage for the highest level of artistic endeavour. This programme focuses on supporting artists in their individual attempts to create work on a scale they have perhaps never imagined possible.

Arts practitioners are invited to propose imaginative, ambitious and inspirational projects that will transform our understanding of what art is and how it can be experienced. With this initiative we hope to engage and challenge the artists, our audiences and ourselves aesthetically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, politically or in ways new and unexpected.

In 2014 we are offering production grants to artists working in a range of media including sculpture, installation, time-based media, artist’s books and performance. Up to a total of $200,000 is available in this application cycle. The success of a proposal will be determined by merit rather than budget. To this end, projects with budgets that range from modest to ambitious scales will be considered. The submission deadline is 31 January 2014 and selections will be announced in March. The selected projects will be developed and produced by the artist and the Sharjah Art Foundation, with presentation of the completed project as agreed between the artist(s) and SAF.

The Production Programme was launched in 2008. Over 500 submissions have been received, 230 applications considered and 31 projects selected for production.

This document should give you all the information you need to know to apply for the 2014 Production Programme. Please read it carefully before you complete the attached application form. If you have any further questions, please direct them to [email protected].

Henry Moore Institute - Research Fellowships 2014–15

Call for applications
Deadline: 13 January 2014
Application fee: none

The Henry Moore Institute is a world-recognised centre for the study of sculpture in the heart of Leeds. An award-winning exhibitions venue, research centre, library and sculpture archive, the Institute hosts a year-round programme of exhibitions, conferences and lectures, as well as developing research and publications, to expand the understanding and scholarship of historical and contemporary sculpture. 

The Institute is a part of The Henry Moore Foundation and is tasked with the responsibility to study sculpture. Our role is to make a significant impact on the future of art history, placing sculpture right at the centre. We achieve this through an exhibitions and research programme that consistently rethinks how we understand sculpture today. We continue Moore's legacy by making sculpture a necessary and relevant part of contemporary culture.

Research is central to the activities of the Institute. Each year we offer a number of Fellowships to enable researchers of different backgrounds and disciplines to develop their work at the Institute. Research Fellowships are intended for artists, scholars and curators working on historic and contemporary sculpture who can make particular use of the Institute's resources: our Research Library, Archive of sculptors' papers and the Leeds sculpture collections, which we manage in partnership with Leeds Museums and Galleries.

In 2014–15 up to four Research Fellows will be given the opportunity to spend a month in Leeds to develop their own research. In addition we will support up to two six-week Senior Fellowships, which are intended to give established scholars time and space to develop a research project free from usual work commitments. Up to two Senior Fellowships for periods of between four to six weeks will be offered.

Both Fellowships provide accommodation, travel expenses and a per diem.

For more information on the Henry Moore Institute Research Fellowships, visit our website: http://www.henry-moore.org/hmi or contact Kirstie Gregory, Research Programme Assistant by email: [email protected].

To apply for either Fellowship forward a letter of application, a 750-word research proposal that also indicates how you will use our resources, and a CV by Monday 13 January 2014 to [email protected].
