About Supercrawl
A driven team of Hamilton artists and community builders founded Supercrawl in 2009 with a view to showcasing great music alongside an entire street of cultural experiences — a diverse and dynamic lineup of music, art, fashion, performance, talks, crafts, food and fun (local, regional national and international).

Since its inception, Supercrawl has captured the imagination of culture lovers far beyond the city, drawing visitors from across Canada and around the world. The event has gone from a one-day celebration on a single block to a weekend-long experience encompassing almost two kilometres of downtown streets, with attendance growing from 3,000 to 250,000 in that time.

Supercrawl was shortlisted for a 2017 Canadian Tourism Award for Event of the Year, received the 2015 Ontario Tourism Award of Excellence for Tourism Event of the Year (and been shortlisted for the same award in 2019), and has been recognized as one of Festival and Events Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals/Events (2015-2019).

Images Festival Call for OFF SCREEN & LIVE Submissions

Images Festival is pleased to open our call for OFF SCREEN and LIVE submissions that accepts program and exhibition proposals for cinema screenings and gallery exhibitions on a rolling basis.

Proposals will be reviewed in the summer and early fall over an extended period of planning as the festival’s program and presenting partnerships begin to take form.

Proposals received in one review cycle may not be conceptually complementary or logistically possible for the upcoming festival year. However, the removal of a fixed submission deadline allows Images to consider proposals in greater depth, assess capacity, and prepare to seek funding and partnerships to meaningfully support the realisation of the presentations.

ABOUT IMAGES FESTIVAL

Images Festival annually exhibits film and video installations, media-based performances, and online work alongside its ON SCREEN program of film and video works. For the OFF SCREEN and LIVE segments of the festival, Images partners with GTA-based galleries, production centres, and other organizations.

Images presents work that counters dominant mainstream narratives and provides alternative ways of thinking and seeing that expands the understanding of media art through our programming and education-based initiatives.

Images Festival does not select films based on any particular themes, genres or aesthetic categories but selects moving image works that share formal and political sensibilities which emerge from recent critical discourses between contemporary art, cinema and media arts.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

DATES

The 33rd edition of Images Festival will take place between April 16 to 22, 2020.

Towner International: Open Call
Open call for British and International artists for major UK exhibition

Application deadline: January 17, 2020, 3:15pm

www.townereastbourne.org.uk
Instagram

Towner International is a major new biennial exhibition of contemporary art that will take place in 2020, featuring British and International artists at Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne, UK. Artists can submit works for consideration to Towner International through an online Open Call process. An esteemed panel of guest judges including Polly Staple (Director, Chisenhale Gallery) and Noelle Collins, (Curator, Towner Art Gallery) will select artists for the inaugural Towner International exhibition. The Brewers Prize of GBP 10,000 will be awarded to an overall winner chosen from the exhibiting artists.

The institution welcomes submissions from professional artists working in all media, including but not restricted to painting, drawing, print, sculpture, sound, performance, photography, film and installation.

Submissions can be made by artists working across the UK and internationally, at least one third of exhibiting artists will be selected from Towner’s coastal region – being born or based in Sussex, Kent and Hampshire.

While this is primarily an opportunity to present work within Towner’s gallery spaces, site specific and off-site installations in the Eastbourne area will also be considered. All works submitted must be available for exhibition from June 13 to September 6, 2020.

Towner’s location on England’s South Coast has been at the core of the gallery’s identity for almost a century and Towner welcomes submissions from artists with a connection to this unique coastal region. For almost 100 years, landscape and location have shaped key concerns within Towner’s programme and defined the gallery’s Collection. As Towner launches this open call, the United Kingdom is undergoing the monumental and arduous transition of leaving the European Union. Considerations of place, identity, landscape and environment have become increasingly significant as we anticipate the consequences of this action, and now more than ever it is important to open opportunities for an international conversation. The exhibition hopes to address how the artistic community is recording and responding to economic, political, cultural, and environmental changes that are unfolding across the World today.

LUMINOUS BODIES: Representing the Human Body in Diversity
Program Dates: June 29–July 13, 2020
Submission Deadline: Feb 24, 2020

Luminous Bodies is a two-week residency to create artworks that shed new light on the human body. Its goal is to reinvent and re-present the body in most inclusive and diverse ways. Resident artist talks, gallery tours, visual and textual references, guest artist talks, and regular critiques (individual with Facilitator and group critiques) help uncover how our bodies are culturally and aesthetically constructed, displayed and controlled. Residents work individually or collaboratively to create artworks that reinvent the body through media of their choice, such as photography, video, installation, drawing, painting, performance, installation, sound, movement, media art, etc. There will be a closing exhibition of artworks created during the residency (if preferred, artists may show in open studio fashion). The essence of Luminous Bodies is about bringing to light heterogeneous bodies. It welcomes people in all walks of life into a creative journey of critical innovation and self-discovery. People with disabilities, people of colour and diverse gender identifications are encouraged to apply.

Artscape Gibraltar Point is an artist retreat nestled against the magnificent natural backdrop of Toronto Island. It offers a distraction-free environment to focus on art creation, and a rich potential for the creation of corporeal artworks amongst its blue-flag beaches (one of them being clothing optional) and natural surroundings of Lake Ontario, forests and gardens filled with flowers, fruit and vegetables. On the island, there are tiny quaint homes, a historic lighthouse, a hobby farm and antique carnival grounds. Cozy up in a furnished studio and bedroom (private or shared), and enjoy amenities such as a fully equipped common kitchen, shared bathrooms, laundry facilities and wireless Internet. AGP is a barrier free and inclusive environment. The Toronto city core is just a 15-minute ferry ride away.

Vous êtes un artiste ou un professionnel étranger de la culture et séjournez à Paris dans le cadre de votre travail ? Vous pouvez déposer une demande de logement à la Cité internationale universitaire de Paris en ligne : http://workflow.ciup.fr/citeu/site/login.php

Certains logements sont spécifiquement adaptés à l’activité artistique : la Cité internationale dispose de deux ateliers-logements pour artistes plasticiens et six studios avec cabine insonorisée pour les musiciens. Les différentes maisons de la Cité internationale peuvent également accueillir des artistes et professionnels de la culture en fonction de la disponibilité de leurs logements (sans espace de travail). Le tarif des logements varient selon le type, le confort et la durée du séjour.

Si votre nationalité est représentée par une maison de la Cité internationale, renseignez-vous auprès d’elle pour connaître la démarche à suivre. Cf. http://www.ciup.fr “les maisons”.

Si cette maison représentant votre nationalité n’a pas de disponibilité, votre demande pourra être transmise aux autres maisons de la CIUP, sous réserve de la validation de la demande par la CIUP.

Les statuts de la cité prévoient en effet que pour y être admis, la venue de l’artiste doit s’inscrire dans le cadre d’un projet précis soutenu institutionnellement (venue sur invitation d’une structure culturelle française, ou sur envoi d’une structure culturelle du pays de résidence de l’artiste, pour une réalisation spécifique). Cette institution doit soutenir financièrement le projet, et donc le séjour de l’artiste à Paris.

D’autre part, la cité prévoit dans ses statuts que les artistes soient étrangers ou en mobilité internationale.

Additional Information

King George Public School was built in 1913 on Armour Hill in Peterborough’s Ashburnham (East City) neighborhood, and served grades JK – 6 up to the end of the 2018-2019 school year. A brand new school is being built on the site, due to open in fall 2020. Artspace and its collaborators (Public Energy Performing Arts and The Art Gallery of Peterborough) have received permission from the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to use the school as the site for a multidisciplinary art event planned for May 2021.

The 3-storey school has more than 50 rooms spread out over three floors, including classrooms, corridors, coat rooms, offices, library, and a gymnasium. There are no elevators in the building, so the gymnasium at ground level and the school’s exterior grounds are currently the only accessible spaces.

6. pour commissaires

Association des groupes en arts visuels francophones

APPEL DE CANDIDATURES INCUBATEUR EN COMMISSARIAT 2e édition ÉTÉ 2020
L’AGAVF lance un appel aux commissaires émergent.e.s pour participer à la 2e édition de l’Incubateur en commissariat à l’été 2020. Cet atelier intensif de commissariat, prenant la forme d’une résidence de deux semaines avec l’accompagnement d’une commissaire-mentore, a comme objectif de soutenir les personnes souhaitant développer des initiatives en commissariat et de stimuler les projets d’expositions ou d’événements visant à mieux faire connaître les œuvres et les artistes visuel.le.s des communautés francophones du Canada.

Trois commissaires émergent.e.s œuvrant sur le territoire où évoluent des centres artistes et galeries membres de l’AGAVF (Atlantique, Ontario, Ouest) bénéficieront de deux semaines de réflexion et de création dans un lieu qui sera déterminé en considérant les propositions soumises. Les participant.e.s auront l’occasion de faire avancer leur projet grâce à divers ateliers de commissariat et d’écriture et à des rencontres régulières avec la commissaire Véronique Leblanc. Ils et elles profiteront de séances de lecture, de recherche et d’écriture individuelles, ainsi que d’échanges collectifs entre participant.e.s, avec des intervenant.e.s invité.e.s et avec des personnes du milieu artistique local. À la lumière de besoins convergents, des activités de professionnalisation seront également offertes. Des visites d’expositions réalisées par des commissaires professionnel.le.s sont également prévues, préalablement à une retraite de travail.

Véronique Leblanc est commissaire indépendante, auteure et chargée de cours en histoire de l’art à l’Université du Québec à Montréal. Parmi ses plus récentes expositions, on retrouve : Les histoires nécessaires (Galerie d’art Louise-et-Reuben-Cohen et Musée acadien de l’Université de Moncton, 2019), Chto Delat? Pratiques performatives de notre temps (Vox, 2018), Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens. La vie mise au travail (Galerie Leonard & Bina Ellen, Montréal, 2016), Polyphonies (Optica, Montréal, 2015) et faire avec (AdMare, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, 2013). Diplômée de la maitrise en étudesdes arts de l’UQAM (2009), elle envisage les projets d’exposition qu’elle initie et les aventures pédagogiques dans lesquelles elle s’implique comme des occasions d’apprentissage partagées. Ses recherches portent actuellement sur l’imaginaire du commun en art actuel à travers un ensemble de pratiques artistiques qui combinent des approches collaboratives et performatives avec des stratégies documentaires.

CANDIDATURES ADMISSIBLES
L’incubateur en commissariat s’adresse aux commissaires émergents des communautés francophones et acadiennes ayant déjà réalisé au moins un projet de commissariat ou présentant un fort intérêt pour la conceptualisation et l’organisation d’exposition, ou encore pour l’écriture sur l’art concernant notamment le travail d’artistes de ces communautés. Des candidatures seront pré-sélectionnées par un comité incluant la commissaire-mentore et trois candidatures seront retenues suite à des entrevues téléphoniques.

DOSSIER DE CANDIDATURE
Le dossier de candidature doit comprendre:
• Une description de votre projet de commissariat ou de votre intérêt de recherche (2 pages) expliquant votre motivation à participer à l’incubateur, en précisant à quelle étape vous en êtes et ce que vous cherchez à accomplir (recherche, développement artistique, écriture, dimension éducative ou communautaire, aspects techniques ou logistiques, etc.).
• Un CV à jour contenant vos coordonnées.
• Une dizaine d’images avec légendes reflétant des projets antérieurs et le projet soumis.

Aujourd’hui, avec son intérêt pour le développement de publics et l’action communautaire, la Galerie SAW Gallery est fière de rejoindre plus de 30 000 personnes par année.

revue esse art+opinion

À l’heure où les sociétés doivent composer avec l’imminence des changements climatiques, l’explosion démographique planétaire ou la “singularité” technologique, on voit apparaître dans la littérature et les arts la marque d’un changement de paradigme profond concernant une conception de l’avenir. Se référant aux potentialités performatives du futur, la futurité (traduction du terme anglais “futurity”) s’inscrit dorénavant comme une philosophie de « l’à-venir » offrant de nouvelles avenues théoriques pour penser une suite du monde plus positive hors des schèmes traditionnels de l’utopisme critique.
[…]
Envisager l’art dans sa futurité, c’est […] croire en sa capacité de créer des formes de vie, des modalités de relation novatrices. C’est réinvestir de bonne foi la capacité de l’art de créer de nouveaux mondes, de faire avec les possibles d’une humanité traversée de blessures et de violences, et de se saisir de l’expérience du présent dans l’intention d’en infléchir politiquement et éthiquement la trajectoire.
[…]
Pour souligner la parution du centième numéro de la revue et marquer sa volonté de se projeter vers l’avenir, quel qu’il soit, Esse arts + opinions invite les auteur.e.s et artistes à proposer des textes qui interrogent les enjeux de la futurité à travers ses diverses déclinaisons artistiques (réactivation d’archives, relecture critique et décoloniale de l’art, de ses histoires et de ses objets, pratiques post ou transhumanistes, etc.).

Résidence d’auteur·e·s 2020-21

Date limite : le 10 janvier 2020

Présentation

Est-Nord-Est (ENE) est un centre d’artistes autogéré dont la mission est de soutenir une communauté internationale d’artistes et d’auteur·e·s en art actuel en offrant un espace et du temps pour la recherche et l’expérimentation, ainsi qu’un accès privilégié à des ressources et des savoir-faire locaux.

Le centre est situé à Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, un village sur la rive sud du fleuve Saint-Laurent, dans un cadre géographique et historique unique. Les paysages se caractérisent par la forte présence de l’agriculture, de la forêt et du fleuve. Saint-Jean-Port-Joli se trouve à 115 km de Québec et à 350 km de Montréal.

Fondé à l’origine sur la rencontre entre les pratiques contemporaines de la sculpture et celles qui relèvent d’un savoir-faire traditionnel régional, ENE est aujourd’hui ouvert à toutes les disciplines et pratiques en arts visuels et médiatiques actuels.

Convaincu de l’importance de l’alliage entre les œuvres et les mots, ENE encourage la pratique de l’écrit en art actuel en offrant une résidence aux auteur·e·s. Plus précisément, ces résidences sont réservées aux auteur·e·s dont le travail de recherche et d’écriture porte sur des notions, pratiques ou enjeux relatifs aux arts visuels et médiatiques contemporains et actuels.

En 2020-2021, ENE ouvre pour la première fois son appel aux auteur·e·s internationaux·ales.

Les espaces de travail et d’hébergement étant communs à tous·tes les résident·e·s, les auteur·e·s peuvent s’imprégner de l’art en train de se faire. Ces séjours offrent aux résident·e·s l’occasion d’approfondir leurs recherches, d’expérimenter et de créer dans un espace culturel unique, vivant et stimulant. ENE fait partie du réseau Res Artis, des organismes d’accueil pour les Pépinières européennes de création et est membre du Regroupement des centres d’artistes autogérés du Québec.

De huit semaines chacune, les périodes de résidence permettent de réunir quatre artistes et un·e auteur·e en art actuel et sont offertes au printemps, à l’été, à l’automne et, pour la toute première fois en 2020, à l’hiver. Depuis l’été 2019, ENE occupe un tout nouveau bâtiment créé et conçu spécifiquement pour les résidences d’artistes et d’auteur·e·s. Son expertise en regard de l’accueil en résidence a orienté les choix associés à la construction de ses quartiers. Or, cette nouvelle conception architecturale accorde une grande importance au dynamisme des échanges, aux rapports conviviaux et à l’accompagnement technique et logistique offert aux résident·e·s, choix par lesquels le centre réaffirme, une fois de plus, pleinement sa posture novatrice en termes de résidences artistiques.

VECTOR FESTIVAL 2020: AFTER GAMIFICATION
OPEN CALL FOR ARTWORKS AND CURATORIAL PROPOSALS
Deadline: February 01, 2020

Vector Festival is an annual media arts event dedicated to showcasing experimental art works that engage critically with digital technologies.

The festival is proudly participatory and community-oriented. Hosted by InterAccess and co-curated by Katie Micak and Martin Zeilinger, Vector Festival takes place at arts venues and in public spaces across the City of Toronto.

Since its inception, Vector Festival has been innovative in its inclusion of game-based digital art alongside other new media disciplines. Continuing this focus for the 2020 edition, the festival’s curators pose a deceptively simple question: what comes after gamification?

Now that game culture and game technologies have become so pervasive in popular culture, how do experimental media artists respond critically to the rampant gamifying of everyday life? From online social interaction to digital finance, from education to military conflict, from politics and environmental issues to the ways in which humans (and machines) express themselves creatively, what comes after gamification?

The Festival will take place between July 16-19, 2020, with the flagship exhibition extended until August 22, 2020.

Please note that Vector Festival does not charge submission fees to artists applying to participate.

All artists and curators selected for participation will receive fees in accordance with the up-to-date CARFAC Fee schedule, as well as support to apply for external funding.

We invite art submissions of digital – and post-digital – works for the following festival categories:

Flagship Exhibition
Digital and post-digital art works including interactive installations, experimental game mods, sculptural work, screen-based work, sound art, etc.

Online Projects
Web-based projects and digital artworks that can be presented online, including experimental interactive and time-based digital projects.

Festival Screening
Experimental film/video/machinima works.

Performance
Performance-based proposals including chiptune, sound art, live coding, A/V performances, and telematic performances for virtual and public spaces.

Site-Specific Outdoor Screening
To be presented on two large-scale (4.88 x 8.64 m) outdoor LED screens for a public audience of all ages.

GIFs
Animated GIFs intended for presentation on public screens across Toronto.

Curatorial submissions
This year, we also invite curators/curatorial collectives to submit proposals for machinima screenings (on a theme of your choosing). If you are considering a curatorial submission, we encourage you to contact the Vector Festival team for additional practical details.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Please submit the following details using our online application form:

Project description (approximately 300 words)
Documentation (maximum of five images, and/or link to audio/video documentation)
Description of technical requirements (please outline materials provided by the artist and materials required from the exhibiting venue)
Artist biography (approximately 100 words)
Please indicate if your work has a thematic, conceptual, or historical connection to Toronto, or if you have a biographic connection to the Greater Toronto Area
Current CV
If you have questions about submitting your application please contact vector [arobas] interaccess [point] org.

About Vector Festival

Review Series Call for Papers
CMA Journal // SFU School for Contemporary Arts

The Comparative Media Arts Journal is pleased to invite individuals to submit to an ongoing
call for re-views. Supplementary to CMAs semi-annual themed issues, the review series is a
continuous academic platform that asks scholars, artists, curators, writers, and post-
secondary students of all levels to engage in critical contemplation and reviews of
exhibitions, art events, and
publications.

Reviewed monthly by the managing editors of the CMA board, the submissions must
demonstrate a clear, conceptual, and insightful understanding of their source material. In
addition, all reviewers should author a critical and comparative position of the exhibition,
event, or book that they are reviewing. Exhibitions reviews should carefully consider the
character, practice, and concept of exhibited artists

as well as artworks while also critiquing the curatorial methodologies behind the exhibition.
Do the curatorial intentions as outlined by texts and the structure of the exhibition support
the artistic content? Does

the artistic content support the exhibition/institutions intentions? Is the relationship between
the artworks and curation dynamic and innovative? In what ways are the exhibitions
successful at harbouring conversations, considerations, and possibilities for the future? In
what ways is the exhibition lacking at making an affective and effective experience
for
diverse audiences? Reviews of art events ” which can include exhibition programming
such as artist talks, curatorial tours, workshops, and so on” should summarize the scope of
the event and its intentions while also

analyzing its success as a tool for public engagement and learning. In what ways did the
event succeed in engaging a deeper understanding of a practice, institution, or stream of
thought? As a participant and active member of the audience, how could the event have
been improved to engage a deep and contemplative understanding of its material? In what
ways did the curator or artist administering a talk, tour, or workshop engage an
understanding of their curatorial or artistic process? As a knowledgeable reviewer, what is
your critical opinion of their positions, ideas, and methods?

Similarly, book or article reviews require a developed summary and analysis of the authors
positions and arguments. Who does the publication serve? What kind of researcher would
benefit from engaging

with it? Additionally, publication reviewers should demonstrate a comparative analysis
between the content of the reviewed subject and their own developed research interests.
Using their own knowledge of particular subjects, what sorts of ideas regarded in the publication can be expanded on or are innovative approaches to considering particular concepts?

The content of reviews are not limited to these suggestions. Other formats of creative
practice can be analyzed such as films, concerts, theatre and so on. However, it is
imperative that all reviews demonstrate a position of critique and an understanding of
contemporary curating, artistic practice, or arts programming.

an opportunity for individuals to develop and articulate critical points of view in relation to
diverse art practices as an open-access platform for publication.

the Chicago Manual of Style and utilize in-text citations.

editing suggestions and requirements be met.

off centre is an online publication dedicated to writing about contemporary art and artists

outside of large metropolitan centres. We believe it is important to provide opportunities for
and highlight the practices of artists, writers, and curators who produce and exhibit in these
regions, challenging the expectation that culture emerges in the centre and works its way
beyond.

off centre is seeking submissions for critical writing about artists, exhibitions and art related
events that take place outside of large Canadian art centres such as Toronto, Vancouver
and Montral.

We are looking for:
– Critical short form reviews (500-1000 words)
– Interviews
– Studio visits with artists

Submissions must include:
– CV (2-3 pages)
– Bio (150- 250 words)
– title of show, venue name, full list of artists (and curators if applicable)
– additional contact info including: email address, website, social media handles
– Short pitch (200 words max) for a piece you are working on or would like to write, along
with a two-page writing sample, demonstrating your style and experience OR
– A completed article or review that has not previously been published (500 ” 1000 words)

Successful applicants must provide images of the exhibition, performance, or event for
reference for the published piece, with photo credit, or access to professional documentation

off centre believes that art writing should be accessible to a broad audience and not feel
exclusionary to those who do not have an academic background. Please write clearly and
provide context / definitions for any specific terminology.

info [arobas] weareoffcentre [point] com
