Cahier Folie/Culture nº 11

Québec, le 8 février 2016 – Folie/Culture est à la recherche de collaborateurs et collaboratrices intéressés à soumettre des textes et des créations visuelles pour son 11^e numéro du Cahier Folie/Culture, qui porte sur la thématique de La normalité ostentatoire.

Avec ce nouveau Cahier, Folie/Culture propose d’ouvrir une brèche dans la normalité. Puisque la normalité est par définition drabe, comment la rendre ostentatoire ? Il s’agit de porter un regard sur les formes inouïes comme sur les choses banales et usuelles, bref, de rendre ostentatoire ce qui, par ailleurs, est reclus et sans éclat. Il n’y a plus rien dans le placard !

Rappelons que les Cahiers Folie/Culture sont des objets d’édition audacieux à périodicité aléatoire. Se rapprochant du livre d’artiste, leur forme se démarque par son originalité toujours en rapport avec la thématique abordée. Publications surprenantes, ces Cahiers se donnent à regarder, à toucher, à soupeser, à lire et aussi à entendre…
Contraintes formelles :

• Les œuvres plastiques originales devront être bidimensionnelles, dimensions 8 ½ x 11 pouces (bleed), format JPG ou TIF, résolution minimale 300 dpi.
• Les textes originaux ne pourront excéder deux feuillets et devront être en format Word si envoyés par Internet.

NAISA is pleased to launch its
2016 Call For Submissions SOUND RESPONSE
Deadline June 15, 2016
www.naisa.ca

Categories: Transmission Art/Radio Art, Electroacoustic Music/Sound Art, Interactive Installation Art, and Other

Go to http://naisa.ca/opportunities/calls-for-submissions/naisa-general-call-for-submissions/ for full information and on-line application

New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) invites artists of all ages and nationalities to submit works on the theme Sound Response for consideration in New Adventures in Sound Art’s 2017 programming.

Sounds, people, animals and environments interact in interesting and complex ways. Languages are shaped by environments, sounds often distinguish the character of a community or habitat, and sound waves propagate differently when they respond to different surfaces and atmospheric conditions. For its 2017 programming, NAISA is interested in submissions that reflect the notion of a Sound Response and creative ways that this can be shared.

Preference in programming will be given to works that respond in some way to the theme Sound Response. Individual interpretations or variations on the theme are encouraged, but should be realized with sound as the primary component. NAISA would also like to encourage artists to submit works on the theme for performance, gallery exhibit, audio-visual screening, radio or internet broadcast, telematics, mobile experiences and any other emerging or alternative formats that include sound as a primary element. Please complete in full the online submission form and upload your audio by midnight on June 15, 2016. Note: there is a $5 submission fee in order to defray the cost of processing the submissions. All works chosen for presentation will receive an artist fee. Only those artists being considered for presentation will be contacted.

Art on the BIG Screens | Call for Submissions

The City of Mississauga (‘City’) Public Art Program invites artists to submit digital, screen based work in all genres. Art on the BIG Screens is an annual series hosted at Mississauga Celebration Square on Monday nights throughout the summer, starting in May. As part of this series we are excited to present local, national and international artists on the BIG Screens. This is an exciting opportunity to present digital based work on large outdoor screens. See Appendix “I” for images of past works.

About The BIG Screens:
Large digital screens are ubiquitous. We see these screens as we drive down major roadways, as we walk through town squares. The majority of these screens are either completely programmed with advertising or supported through advertising. The BIG Screens, however, are completely the opposite. Managed by the City’s Culture Division, The BIG Screens are programmed to support City events, share civic information and to promote, support and enrich the community.

Eligibility:
This Call is open to all local, national and international professional artists* as well as cultural producers working with the moving image. Persons with disabilities, visible minorities and Aboriginals are encouraged to apply.

* The City of Mississauga defines a professional artist as a person who is critically recognized as an artist; possesses skill, training and/or experience in his or her artistic discipline; is active in and committed to his or her art practice; and has a history of public presentation.

Duration:

• Digital based work up to 2 hours in length (can be looped).

Screening Dates/Times:
The City is wishing to commission five screen-based works for the five (5) available timeslots, to exhibit Art on the BIG Screens on Monday nights.

1. Monday, May 30, 2016
2. Monday, June 27, 2016
3. Monday, July 25, 2016
4. Monday, August 29, 2016
5. Monday, September 26, 2016

Budget:
The total all-inclusive artist fee for each selected Artist is: $500.00 (confirm)
The City endorses the practice of remuneration for artists and arts professionals according to the most recent Canadian Artists’ Representation/Le Front des artistes canadien (CARFAC) Minimum Fee Schedule.

Selection Process
The submissions will be evaluated by an Art Selection Committee composed of members of the project team as well as a professional artist from the film/digital industry. The Art Selection Committee will select a maximum of 5 Artist works.

Criteria and Themes:

• Artists are invited to submit artworks across various themes and subject matter
• June is National Aboriginal Month, as such artists are asked to consider this as a possible theme for content
• Content that is too small or cluttered, including small text, is not advisable as it may not be legible
• Commercial advertising or product logos are not permitted

Original Work:
The artist must guarantee that the artwork is original and does not violate the copyright of any other person.

Copyright:
If selected, the artist will be required to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with the City of Mississauga. The artist retains the copyright and right to be identified as the creator of the artwork. The City of Mississauga will seek copyright permission to reproduce the images for non-profit publicity purposes.

Content Requirements:
Although explicit content is generally accepted in a fine art context, the public nature of this exhibit hinders some creative freedom in that respect. Content should be both suitable and relevant for presentation on urban screens, as they are located within a highly visible public space that is accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. For this reason, the content guidelines for screenings have been established, based on a modified format of the Ontario Film Review Board Parental Guidance (PG) rating. Content with explicit use of alcohol, smoking, and illegal drugs, horror, offensive language, nudity, sexual activity and/or violence will not be considered appropriate. For full Mississauga Celebration Square screen content guidelines and technical information see:
MCS Content Guidelines

FUNDACIÓN CALLE BOHEMIA
CONVOCATORIA
7º ENCUENTRO PERFORMANCE PARA LA VI(D)A.
MARÍA TERESA HINCAPIÉ

“ EL CUERPO Y SU MEMORIA”

En el año 2016 el Encuentro Performance para la vi(d)a. María Teresa Hincapié llega a su séptima versión bajo el tema “ EL CUERPO Y SU MEMORIA”

¿Qué pasa cuando el cuerpo se detiene únicamente en el “yo”, en el egoísmo, en lo pasajero?

Hay fuerzas e intenciones que nos adormecen para que no nos importe qué pasa a nuestro alrededor, donde nos humillan, nos pisotean y acabamos por creer que lo importante es favorecernos, salir a flote, ignorando a los otros, nuestros compañeros de viaje, nuestros congéneres.
A este afán de supervivencia sobreviene el olvido de normas, leyes de convivencia y solidaridad.
No importa el caos social, nos acostumbramos a mantener la vida que nos imponen, con conflictos armados, el desplazamiento, la violencia, la corrupción, el despojo. Un grupo de poderosos nos condenan a limitaciones mentales y nos hacen conformistas.

Fundación Calle Bohemia convoca a los artistas del performance tanto Colombianos como de otras nacionalidades, para participar en el 7º Encuentro Performance para la vi(d)a. María Teresa Hincapié, que se desarrollará en la ciudad de Armenia, Quindío. Colombia, durante el mes de Agosto del año 2016. Se trata de una apuesta por la vida y la convivencia. El Encuentro ha tenido la vía pública como escenario: Plaza de Bolívar, Pasaje peatonal de cielos abiertos, Parque Sucre y diferentes espacios de la ciudad.
Las performances también podrán realizarse en espacio cerrado, si así lo requiere el artista.
El Encuentro también es un espacio de formación y de reflexión teórica, por lo cual se programan paralelamente dos seminarios sobre la práctica de la performance y se desarrolla una serie de talleres de performance, dirigido a artistas, estudiantes de artes visuales y público interesado.
Otra etapa importante es la implementación de la Cátedra de Performance María Teresa Hincapié, en instituciones educativas pùblicas con los grados 11 del departamento del Quindío.
Al finalizar el Encuentro se propiciará un conversatorio con los artistas invitados, artistas locales, público interesado y estudiantes del programa de artes visuales de la Universidad del Quindío.

– Proporcionar las entrevistas necesarias, al equipo de producción audiovisual, quienes serán los encargados de la realización de las memorias del Encuentro.

Appel à participation 2016 29e Festival Les Instants Vidéo
Rencontres internationales et expositions en Novembre 2016

Date limite d’inscription : vendredi 3 juin 2016

Le Festival Les Instants Vidéo est une manifestation dédiée aux arts médiatiques (vidéo et numériques) et à la performance.

Etat d’Urgence Poétique
Les arts vidéo et numériques se développent en ce moment dans un contexte international, social et politique, des plus inquiétants. Les étrangers sont craints. Les libertés reculent. Les passions humaines effraient. Les rêves d’émancipation sont sécurisés. La bêtise gestionnaire gouverne. La poésie électronique invente de nouveaux langages pour penser le monde autrement et participer à sa transformation. Il y a Etat d’Urgence Poétique. Nous voudrions que Les 29es Instants Vidéo soient débridés, imaginatifs, sans tabou, cosmopolites, sensibles, graves et joyeux… Nous attendons avec impatience vos propositions d’installations vidéo, monobandes ou performances…
Les artistes programmés seront informés des lieux et des dates de diffusion de leurs travaux courant septembre. Les artistes non programmés aussi.
Nous vous saluons depuis les rives infiniment bleues (mais parfois teintées de rouge) de la Méditerranée.

Residency For Artists On Hiatus (RFAOH)

Call for applications 2016/2017

RFAOH co-directors Shinobu Akimoto and Matthew Evans are pleased to invite international “artists on-hiatus” to apply to their third call for residents to participate in their ongoing project Residency For Artists On Hiatus (RFAOH).

Residency For Artists On Hiatus is a virtual yet functioning residency available to artists who, for one reason or another, are NOT currently making or presenting art. The residency exists in the form of a website only, and the residents are selected based on their proposals of “on-hiatus” activities (or non-activities). To be eligible to apply, artists must have previously created an independent body of work and have exhibited in a public context. Selected residents will be represented on a dedicated page within the RFAOH website, where they post periodic reports throughout their residency. A modest stipend will be awarded to successful applicants to assist in their on-hiatus endeavour. At the conclusion of their residency, residents are asked to submit a written report on how they benefited from or were otherwise influenced by this opportunity.

Since its launch in 2013, Residency For Artists On Hiatus has hosted twelve international “on-hiatus artists” with a broad range of backgrounds and projects. Through this opportunity to be free from the obligations of being an artist, they have explored the space between art-making and other creative endeavour, and the limits and liminalities of professionalism in the arts. Residency For Artists On Hiatus has also generated steady responses, including a growing community of followers, featured articles in various media, and invitations for presentations from art spaces worldwide.

We are excited to host a third cohort of residents, and continue our discourse surrounding the role of art within the wider culture. This year, we also look forward to the publication of “RFAOH Annual Reports”, which will document our operation and our residents’ “on-hiatus” activities. To know more about Residency For Artists On Hiatus, please visit: www.residencyforartistsonhiatus.org. Detailed information on how to apply can be found at www.residencyforartistsonhiatus.org/application.php

THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS JUNE 25, 2016

Residency For Artists On Hiatus continues to seek a host organization who may promote the residency through their own website, and/or assist in funding the programme. If your institution/organization is interested in supporting RFAOH, please contact us at info [arobas] residencyforartistsonhiatus [point] org

We would like to thank the organizations and individuals who have helped us in various ways over the last three years. We also sincerely thank Mr. Tehching Hsieh for accepting our invitation to sit on our advisory board. Without their support and encouragement, this third call for applications would have never happened.

Résidence Glassbox
Date limite: 15 mai 2016
payé

À la fois production in situ et diffusion in progress, ce format proposé par #Glassbox pourrait s’apparenter à une résidence rendue visible. Les rencontres régulières qui jalonnent le temps de production permettent à l’artiste de faire publiquement état de l’avancée du projet.

Ce qui constitue le corps de l’exposition n’est plus seulement le résultat final du travail de l’artiste : sa forme achevée est saisissable à l’occasion du vernissage/finissage de résidence, qui clôt son devenir dans Glassbox comme l’oraison funèbre scelle une biographie.

Le temps de visibilité s’attache surtout à présenter le déroulé du projet, ce cheminement jubilatoire qui permet le passage intensif du rien à l’objet. Pour la résidence d’été, l’artiste est invité à prendre possession de l’espace d’art du 4 rue Moret aifn d’y développer un projet de construction spécifique. Tout en permettant de rendre visible un processus de fabrication percutant, le projet doit prendre en compte le contexte et la morphologie de la galerie.

Logée dans un quarter aux influences et rythmes de vie multiples, et dessinée par les FREAKS Freearchitects, Glassbox perce un trou dans les façades de la rue Moret : entre sa vitrine qui, en se repliant intégralement, met littéralement le lieu dehors, et son sol en asphalte qui prolonge le trottoir à l’intérieur, l’espace redistribue les coordonnées du point de rencontre entre sphère publique et sphère privée.

Over the last 27 years, the Gardiner Museum has celebrated the festive season with its signature fundraising exhibition, 12 Trees, and its central gala event, the G Party. Last year, the 12 Trees exhibition was reinvigorated as a showcase of contemporary tree-inspired art installations based on the theme “The Joy of Creativity”. The artists and designers included Justin Broadbent, Bruno Billio, Jane Waterous, and Michael Adamson, among others. The exhibition raised over $130,000 for the Gardiner, doubled its audience over previous years, and received tremendous media coverage.

The Gardiner is among the few museums in the world focused on ceramics. This year’s 12 Trees theme celebrates the very foundations of clay: the Earth. The Gardiner values the one-of-a-kind and the handmade, careful rather than mass consumption, and the preservation of treasured objects for future generations.

In 2016, we invite artists to propose Christmas tree installations inspired by the theme Good for the Earth. Proposals should address one, or all, of the following:

• Are recycled
• Draw attention to material culture

Proposals should be no more than 500 words.

2. A bio and CV for the lead applicant(s)
As this is a fundraising event, note that each installation will be paired with a sponsor.

AVAILABLE SPACES

Installations will be displayed in groups for maximum impact. Four different clusters of three installations will be spread out over four areas. Please note height restrictions.

1. Lobby: Max installation height 9 ft, same for load-in/load out.
