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.

Marl Media Art Awards 2016: Space
Dealing with Space in Video and Sound
Historically and spatially, the Marl Media Art Awards refer to the orientation as a sculpture museum and to the modernist architecture of the Marl Town Hall completed in 1966. Because spatial reference is the key criteria for sculpture, for the third time the competition invites media artists who deal with all facets of space in their works to participate.

Since 1984, the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl has hosted the Video Art Award, and since 2002 the Sound Art Award, which has been further developed into the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD. The two media, which define themselves principally through video and sound, have much in common: not only are they both time-related, but in many video works the acoustic level is very important, while more and more sound works include moving images. The Marl Media Art Awards will present the results of both competitions in one exhibition at the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl.

Marl Video Art Award 2016
The works submitted for the Marl Video Art Award 2016 must relate—thematically, formally or in its presentation—to the specific space. The spatial reference here also means avoiding linear narrative structures while featuring a different, non-linear temporal structure, such as a loop, which is ideal for presentation in a museum. Classic, single-channel videos, shown on a monitor or projected on a screen, remain acceptable. Overall, however, the international competition gives preference to multi-channel installations and installations extended through use of additional materials. 20 works will be selected for the exhibition and will compete for the Marl Video Art Award 2016, with 5,000 EUR in prize money. The prize money will be aimed at acquisition of the awarded piece for the permanent collection of the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl. The Marl Video Art Award will be awarded by the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl.

EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD 2016
For the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD we are also looking for works explicitly related to the space and sound creations that characterize the space. Along with artistic quality, convincing acoustic and plastic form will be a particularly relevant assessment criterion. In addition, three of ten contestants selected for the exhibition will be invited by the same jury to visit Marl in the summer in order to develop concepts for a to be selected space in Marl. One of these concepts will be awarded the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD and 7,000 EUR as money prize for its immediate realization. WDR 3, the Stiftung Hören and the European Soundart Association strive for closer networking of the European sound art with the European cultural radio stations and will therefore also check all submissions for suitability for possible radiofonic realizations. The EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD 2016 will be awarded by the Culture Radio WDR 3, the Stiftung Hören and the European Soundart Association in cooperation with the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl.

General conditions, application and dates
In addition to the thematical and formal requirement of addressing space, works submitted for both sound and video art competitions must have been produced after January 1, 2014.

The deadline for submission for both Marl Media Art Award competitions is May 30.

Two international prize juries for video art and sound art will select 20 video art works and 10 pieces of sound art to be placed in display in a group exhibition in the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl and other venues in Marl. The juries will also select the winners of the Marl Video Art Award 2016 and the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD 2016.

The exhibition opening and awards ceremony of the Marl Media Art Awards 2016 will take place on October 23 in the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl. The exhibition will last till February 2017.

Further information on competition rules and online application forms are available at www.mkp-marl.de.
The Marl Media Art Awards 2016 are supported by (as per April) the Ministry for Families, Children, Youth, Culture and Sports of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia; the Kunststiftung NRW, WDR 3, Stiftung Hören, the City of Marl, Sparkasse Vest Recklinghausen, EINS DER ZWANZIG RUHR KUNST MUSEEN and Freundeskreis Habakuk.

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.

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.

It will consider Centennial’s rich history of excellence in education and its future, a testament to Centennial’s proud vision in shaping Canadian society for generations to come.

Appel aux artistes : murales dans les passages inférieurs

Date limite pour la proposition des candidatures : le 6 juin 2016 à 16 h
Budget : 20 000 $ par murale

La Ville d’Ottawa est à la recherche d’artistes pour peindre des murales dans les passages inférieurs de la promenade Colonel By et de la promenade Reine-Élizabeth situés sous l’avenue Laurier.

La Ville a choisi de revitaliser ces passages en raison de leur proximité au canal Rideau et parce qu’ils servent de portes d’entrée névralgiques vers le centre-ville d’Ottawa. Cette année, les artistes qui soumettent les dessins de leur murale doivent inclure dans leur œuvre des éléments soulignant l’importance historique et culturelle dont est revêtu le canal Rideau.

Les artistes intéressés peuvent visiter ottawa.ca pour en savoir plus sur le processus de mise en candidature et sur les critères de sélection. Chaque passage arborera une murale d’inspiration communautaire qui aura été réalisée par des artistes choisis en fonction de consultations publiques. Les concepts seront sélectionnés par un jury indépendant composé d’artistes de la région et de membres de la communauté.

Les artistes retenus seront annoncés en août, et les murales devront être achevées d’ici la fin de septembre 2016.

CALL FOR ARTISTS!

The Gardiner Museum is inviting artists to create “green” art installations for our annual 12 Trees exhibition.

Submission Deadline: JUNE 15, 2016

Visit the website and download the full request for proposals

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
• Focus on the handmade
• Are made of sustainable material

1. A short proposal including:

1. A project description, highlighting how your installation is “Good for the Earth”
2. A visual rendering
3. How you plan to make use of the space (please see “Available Spaces”).

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.
2. 2nd Floor: Max installation height 7’5, same for load-in/load-out
3. 3rd Floor: Max installation height 13 ft, 7’5 ft for load-in/load out

We encourage artists to make full use of the space for maximum impact.
