Nuit Blanche Toronto – Call For Submissions

Calling all Toronto-based and Canadian-based artists!

Nuit Blanche Toronto is now accepting submissions to the Open Call
Project program for the event’s 12th edition, happening on September
30, 2017 from sunset to sunrise.

Open Call Projects

The Open Call Projects program is an opportunity for artists to be
guided and mentored by a Nuit Blanche Toronto curator and have a
project produced and funded by the City of Toronto.

The impressive calibre and diversity of Open Call Projects featured at
the event over the years includes artists such as: Ame Henderson,
Brandy Leary/Anandam Dancetheatre, Eleanor King, Faith La Rocque,
Kelly Mark, Labspace Studio, Rhonda Weppler & Trevor Mahovsky,
VSVSVS and Workparty.

To mark Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation, Nuit Blanche
Toronto has created an overarching theme for the entire 2017 event
focusing on this major milestone in Canada’s history as a nation,
entitled Nuit Blanche 2017: Many Possible Futures. All participating
Nuit Blanche Toronto 2017 curators have been encouraged to look
forward to the many possible futures of Canada in their curatorial
visions, working with artists to address notions of Identity and
Nationhood. Possible perspectives include Migration, Displacement,
Colonialism, Power and Privilege, Settlement, the Natural Landscape,
Distance, Exploration, Adaptation, and Reconciliation.

This year the Open Call Projects will give up to four artists the
opportunity to be part of two City-produced exhibitions.

The two exhibitions accepting Open Call submissions for 2017 are:

Taking to the Streets – For a Possible Future
Curator: Barbara Fischer

Streets are complex sites where pedestrian life meets car culture,
where public and private intermingle, and where commerce and
consumption, ostentation and privation are in daily exchange, if not
confrontation. Taking to the Streets – For a Possible Future looks at the
ways in which the ‘street’ as a medium has served the manifestation of
social action and interrogation by artists, from graffiti to protest,
conceptual interventions to public disruptions.

Barbara Fischer is the executive director/chief curator of the Justina M.
Barnicke Gallery at Hart House and interim director of the University of
Toronto Art Centre. She is also senior lecturer of Curatorial Studies in
the Department of Art at the University of Toronto. She has curated
numerous major exhibitions of contemporary art and its histories in
galleries and museums across Canada and internationally. She was
awarded the 2008 Hnatyshyn Award for Curatorial Excellence and was
the commissioner of the Canadian Pavilion for the 53rd Venice
Biennale in 2009.

Dream Time: We All Have Stories
Curator: Karen Alexander

Dream Time: We All Have Stories focuses on the challenges and
consequences of individuals and communities sharing urban spaces
and places, together. Exploring themes of migration, memory, hybridity
and transformation, the exhibition looks forward not toward a future
which throws everything together into a magical multicultural melting
pot, but rather one that sharply focuses on progressive ideas of
nationality and inclusion through a series of interventions,
investigations and explorations.

Karen Alexander is an independent film and moving image curator,
advisor and researcher and has worked with and for the Royal College
of Art, and the British Film Institute. She has acted as a consultant and
programmer for a wide range of festivals institutions and galleries,
including Film London, the Watershed Bristol, Tate, Birkbeck, Iniva, the
Serpentine Gallery, The British Library and the ICA London. Her areas
of expertise are UK artists’ film and video, feminist and post-colonial
politics of representation, gender and sexuality. Karen was appointed
Associate Fellow at Warwick University in the Film and Television
Studies department in 2015 and has been a trustee of the London-
based arts commissioning body Artangel since 2004.

Each curator will select one or two Open Call Projects for their
exhibition in consultation with the City of Toronto. Funding and
production support is provided by the City of Toronto.

The Open Call submission deadline by email is 11:59 p.m. on Monday,
December 19, 2016.

Applications are now being accepted. Further details, guidelines and
the Open Call application form can be found at

schools, neighbourhoods, community organizations and individual
artists.

The Independent Projects submission deadline by email is 11:59 p.m.

contemporary art, produced by the City of Toronto in collaboration with

Nuit Blanche Toronto 2017 is the event’s 12th edition, and will be held

Open call for prizes and artist residencies
October 3–November 17, 2016

www.videobrasil.org.br

Up until November 17, 2016, artists from the Global South and from Portuguese-speaking countries can enter their new or existing artworks in any language or theme to participate in the 20th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil. The curators in charge of artist selection will choose as many as 50 artists to take part in art shows, video screenings, performances, meetings with artists, public program activities, educational actions, and publication launches set to take place during the Festival.

The featured artists and groups will compete for two types of prizes designated by two different juries. For the first time, the Festival will award three Acquisition Awards to artists with video works, each for a total sum of 25,000 BRL (subject to tax in accordance with the current Brazilian legislation). The works will become part of the Sesc Brazilian Art Collection. An international jury of contemporary art professionals will indicate the Acquisition Awards.

Another jury of delegates of the Festival’s residency institutions partners will grant five Artistic Residency Prizes to be used in the two years after the Festival (January 2018 / September 2019), for a period of eight weeks, in artistic residency institutions that are partners of the Festival. Airfare, accommodation, and per diems are included. Works contemplated with Artistic Residency Prizes will become part of the Videobrasil Collection.

20th Festival artist residencies
Relationships with local environment and community are the focus of A-I-R Laboratory, the residency program of the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, Poland, which encourages artists to present their work at public spaces, for increased involvement from the local population.

At the residency program of the Kyoto Art Center, in Japan, various art genres come together to connect with the city’s tradition and the heavily technological and industrial daily lives of its citizens.

In Salvador, Brazil, Residence Vila Sul, offered by Goethe-Institut, focuses on the South America-Africa connection and on conceptualizing the Global South, featuring ideal facilities for exhibitions and activities in various formats.

Cultural exchange between artists, the university community, and the public are the targets of the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, affiliated with the Ohio State University, underscoring its commitment to feeding creative expression through its residency program.

Finally, Res Artis, an association devoted to fostering artist residencies with over 500 collaborators in more than 70 countries, will enable, for the first time, a collaboration with a Caribbean institution, yet to be confirmed.

Who can participate
The 20th Festival accepts applications by artists or groups of artists who were born or reside for five years or more in the countries belonging to the Global South and countries of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP). For this open call, the macro-region at hand will comprise countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia (except Japan), Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, and the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries—the latter being one of the new additions to this 20th edition. Apart from Brazil, the CPLP comprises: Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and East Timor.

Triple Canopy’s 2016 call for proposalsApply online by November 13, 2016, at 11:59 EDT.
Commission recipients will be announced on December 15.

The magazine invites proposals for new work to be developed by artists and writers in collaboration with Triple Canopy’s editors for inclusion in our newest issue, Vanitas, which launched in September and will continue to unfurl in the coming year.

In an age defined by extremes of finitude and excess, deprivation and luxury, what is vanity? How do we register our own transitoriness even as we strive against decay and senescence, by way of cryogenics labs, biotechnology innovations, spa treatments, and the hoarding of material goods and digital files? This issue explores contemporary meditations on mortality as well as the delights, delusions, and pressures of fleshly existence, and ranges from the much-heralded “end of death” to collective processes of aging to the pursuit of impossible—or nearly impossible—forms of beauty. The name is taken from the opulent, hyperrealist still lifes popularized by Dutch and Flemish painters in the seventeenth century, which symbolize the brevity of human life and essential emptiness of earthly pursuits, even as they advertise the artist’s ability to fix time. These paradoxical images prompt us to consider how and why we strive to overcome death while reminding us of our certain mortality.

Commission recipients receive:

Eight to twelve months of artistic, editorial, and technical support
$1,500 honorarium
Opportunity to use Triple Canopy’s venue at 264 Canal Street for a performance or other public event
Coordination and production of any print publication or live event
Archiving of materials and long-term maintenance of any online version of the project by Triple Canopy in partnership with New York University’s Fales Library and Special Collections

17 Media Art Biennale WRO: Draft SystemsSubmission deadline: November 15, 2016

The program is open to various forms of expression and communication applying the artistic potential of new media and completed after January 1, 2015.

WRO 2017: Draft Systems
Overheated technological development considered at all stages has proven costly to the planet; barely established synergy is getting dissociated again, democracy as “best of the systems” seems to no longer be sustainable; we accept shaky, precarious and temporary positions; while seeking personalised alliances, we commit ourselves to loyalty towards communication procedures.

How does contemporary art reflect/express/imply these processes? How does artistic practice outline this changeable position framing it in a communication form—between installation and action, concept and artistic manifestation?

WRO Biennale: about
The WRO Media Art Biennale is the major forum for new media art in Poland, and one of the leading international contemporary art events in Europe. Since its inception in 1989, WRO has beenpresenting art forms created using new media for artistic expression and communication exploring current creative territories and building a critical perspective toward emerging issues in culture, art, society and technology.

The previous edition of the Biennale—WRO 2015: Test Exposure—was held at ten sites around the city of Wrocław: museums, galleries, department store, new building of the University Library before its opening to the public, private flat and public space, where the works of over 250 artists were shown. The exhibitions, concerts, performances, video projections, installations and conferences were attended by over 100,000 visitors.

The WRO 2015 catalogue is available both in print and online here.

Deadline for submissions: November 15, 2016, 23:59 (CET)
