Call for a curatorial project at Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art (ENSA), Bourges : La Box. France

Call for entries
Deadline: March 15, 2014
Application fee: none


Part of the programme for the 2014-15 season will be entrusted to an independent curator, a critic or a collective whose curatorial project has been chosen by La Box's selection panel.

The final proposal should lay down the project's structure and time frame before the end of June 2014, when timetabling of the exhibitions for the following season will take place. The project's experimental character will be one of the main selection criteria.

As part of the School's teaching context, the programme should include the presence and participation of the students in workshops extending from the designing of the exhibitions through to their actual presentation. The curator(s) should also choose and implement a liaison approach aimed at an outside audience.

The overall budget is 25,000 €. Of this 20,000 € will be devoted to production and transport of works, travel and accommodation expenses for the artists, travel expenses for the curator(s), communication, publications; the remaining 5000 euros will cover miscellaneous expenses for the curator(s).

The guest curator is paid a fee on presentation of an invoice.  
La Box will provide accommodation for the curator during the period of residency, either in an artist's studio or one of the other facilities offered by the School.

This accommodation is provided because The Box will require the regular presence of the curator for his/her project and teaching duties, although a part of the work can be carried out elsewhere.

The curator will work in association with the School's teaching team and in particular with the teachers in charge of the programme: Arnaud Deshayes, Ingrid Luche and Hervé Trioreau. He/she will be assisted by La Box's permanent team: Chloé Nicolas (coordinator) and Véronique Frémiot (registrar and cultural liaison officer).
There is no set exhibition formula. The number, duration and spacing of the exhibitions are left to the discretion of the curator: possibilities include a single, evolving exhibition, several exhibitions per month, off-site exhibitions, etc. In drawing up his/her programme the curator will need to take the School's calendar into account – vacations, exams – in the interests of student participation.

Candidates must be aware that this kind of programme demands considerable availability on their part. Attendance at regular on-site meetings – including the project validation and organisation meeting in June 2014 – is indispensable. In addition, ready responsiveness by phone or email is vital during preparation of the programme. The curator must be present during the setting up and opening of exhibitions.
In the case of a collective, dialogue and coordination between the members is essential so as to avoid all contradictions in their dealings with the School and La Box.

Acting as a catalyst for the development of exceptional and imaginative ideas, Creative Capital supports artists whose work is provocative, timely and relevant; who are deeply engaged with their art forms and demonstrate a rigorous commitment to their craft; who are boldly original and push the boundaries of their genre; and who create work that carries the potential to reshape the cultural landscape.

Projects may be intended for projection, hand-held devices, the web, television, galleries, etc. Visual Arts may include architecture/design, contemporary crafts, installation, interdisciplinary projects, moving image, painting, photo-based work, public art, sculpture, or works on paper. Projects may be site-specific or intended for display in galleries, on the web, etc.

The organization expects to receive around 3,000 applications this February and will announce the 46 selected projects in January 2015. In order to be eligible for awards, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at least 25 years old, working as artists with at least five years of professional experience.

Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain: Call for applications for artist-in-residency programme in the public space

Call for applications: new international artist-in-residency
programme in the public space
Deadline: 2 April 2014
Application fee: none

Packed with precious impressions and enriched with valuable experience from its successful residency programme project room @ aquarium, from 2015 onwards, Casino Luxembourg will move its residency programme out of its building and into the public space!

This contextual transfer will allow Casino Luxembourg to be present and get active in the public area on a more regular basis. Sharing the public space will hence be the new challenge, and therefore Casino Luxembourg is looking for artists whose practice is familiar with the notions of public space be it e.g. through site-specific interventions or community involvement.

This new residency programme will be designed so as to provide a maximum flexibility for the working artist and to offer the best possible conditions with regard to the realisation of each project. To get acquainted with Luxembourg's public space, a five-day "taster" visit of Luxembourg will be scheduled in October 2014 for the two laureates. Subsequently, each will be requested to develop a first outline of their project for Luxembourg by December 2014. The residency periods (between six and eight weeks) will be settled according to the very specific needs of the projects.

Eligibility
The residency is open to all individual artists or collectives wishing to develop their practice in a professional context by creating a new work. Applicants are free to choose their means of artistic expression but must have accomplished a master degree in arts (or equivalent) by the beginning of the residency, or, for non-degree holders, must give documented proof of at least a three-year work and exhibition practice. Applicants should not be older than 40 years. In order to facilitate communication with the local scene, participants should be fluent in either English, French or German. All applicants must hold a valid visa for the duration of the residency.

Selection procedure
A jury of experts will select the candidates for the two residencies to be held in 2015 based on the quality of their work and the applicants' potential to use the residency to maximum benefit. The selected candidates will be informed of the jury results via email by the end of June 2014.

The jury
The 2015 jury members are Lara Almacegui, artist, Rotterdam (NL); Philippe Nathan, architect and founder of 2001 (LU); Camilla Pin, independent curator and activist, Isola Art Center, Milan; Christine Walentiny, residency curator, Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain and Georg Winter, artist and activist, Prof. HBKSaar (Sculpture/Public Art), Budapest.

Budget
Casino Luxembourg will provide financial and technical support and will be in charge of implementing the artist's project to a maximum cost of EUR 7,500. Participants will be accommodated in a centrally located, self-sufficient flat in Luxembourg city. Casino Luxembourg will take over the artist's travel costs to and from Luxembourg and will pay 500 EUR for 14 days towards general expenses. The participants will receive an artist fee of EUR 1,500 that will be paid in two installments.

Application procedure
Deadline for applications: 2 April 2014 at 4pm (GMT+1)
Applications must be fully completed and submitted in due time in order to be considered.

Submission of application: guidelines
Candidates are asked to respect the criteria as described on the first page. The closing date for applications is 2 April 2014 at 4pm (GMT+1). All the below mentioned documents are to be sent to Casino Luxembourg per e-mail to the attention of Christine Walentiny in a single printable PDF file.

KINGDOM: The Animal in Contemporary Art

MANIFEST: Call for Entries
KINGDOM An International Exhibition Exploring the Animal in Contemporary Art
Deadline: February 28, 2014
Application fee: $12

Image: Rosalind Tallmadge

Images of animals in art have existed parallel to those of humans for as long as images (and objects) have been made by people. Our social, creative, and psychological evolution is inextricably tied to our relationships with animals. Whether it be the taming of the wolf, resulting in 'man's best friend', the tethering of the horse which magnified the power and geographic reach of humans, or the domestication of herd animals which contributed to the establishment of cities and large concentrations of people (and the growth of culture), they are all part of the trajectory of humanity to this point in time. All have been documented, explored, and deified throughout the long process by images and objects featuring animals.

But this isn't just history (and pre-history). The animal remains a powerful subject in contemporary art. So Manifest has chosen once again to feature an exhibit which will reveal the state of the animal in contemporary art. With this we call for artists working in any media to submit works that in some way feature or address animals, real or imagined.

This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type or style of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental. The only criteria beyond excellent quality is that works must somehow address or feature the animal as primary subject, form, or content.

Submission deadline: February 28, 2014

Eastside International, Los Angeles-based residency program

New Los Angeles-based residency program, Eastside International is taking applications for residencies starting as early as March 2014!

The residency includes a bedroom and adjoining studio for a contemporary visual artist to come to Los Angeles, make new work, network with commercial galleries and curators, and explore Los Angeles. The residency fees will range from $1,200 to $1,350 US per month, depending on which slot is applied for or available.

Eastside International does not currently offer any kind of financial aid or stipends to residents.  All funding is the responsibility of the applicants.  We can, on request, provide documentation to applicants or funders in regards to an applicant’s acceptance to the AIR program.

Eastside International’s regular exhibition program will begin in September 2014; however, during the initial residency period, the space will be hosting various pop-up events and more in its main gallery area, as we continue to transition the space.  Also, there may be various renovations, remodeling, and improvements to the entire facility during this period.

A community of artists live and work in Eastside’s facility, and the space has been in continual artist-run operation for over a decade. The AIR accommodations are for working artists; the facility is operated out of a converted industrial space on the grounds of the Brewery Art Colony. The AIR program at Eastside will be artist-run, semi-communal and cooperatively operated with common areas, kitchen, WC and other facilities shared by the resident artists and full time residents who live and work under it’s roof. The full time resident artists, including the directors, all financially contribute to the costs of running Eastside Art and all work is entirely volunteer based. The costs for the AIR are kept as low as possible and help cover all the maintenance, overhead, and exhibition programming, and are shared by the artist-directors and studio rentals. Eastside hopes to provide an artists-run space for the making of art and participating in the Los Angeles contemporary art community and is not recommended for artists expecting luxury accommodations, preferential treatment, or a vacation resort experience.

Bedroom – 14.5 x 11 feet. (3.5 x 4.5 meters)
