Residency | Visual Artists Ireland

3 Funded Research Residencies | ALMAT – Algorithms that Matter

March 1, 2017

Deadline: 16 April

Algorithms that Matter is an artistic research project by Hanns Holger Rutz and David Pirrò. It aims at understanding the increasing influence of algorithms, translating them into aesthetic positions in sound, building a new perspective on algorithm agency by subjecting the realm of algorithms to experimentation.

Almat is grounded in the idea that algorithms are agents that co-determine the boundary between an artistic machine or “apparatus” and the object produced through this machine. The central question is: How do algorithmic processes emerge and structure the praxis of experimental computer music? The hypothesis is that these processes, instead of being separated from the composer—as generators and transformers of infinite shapes—exhibit a specific force that retroacts and changes the very praxis of composition and performance.

This call is directed at experienced practitioners in sound art and experimental computer music, for whom algorithmic and computational strategies represent a central element in their work. Applicants should be able to demonstrate this through their past work. They are capable and interested in exposing and reflecting their process and work through writing, discussion and other forms of discourse. During the project, they are expected to either engage with software frameworks that the project team has developed, or with software they have developed in open source environments.

The project is conceived in such way, that applicants will work collaboratively with the project team. Each residency will be preceded by an online preparatory process in cooperation with the project team (this will begin at latest two months before the start of the actual residency). The applicants are then expected to spend the two months of the residency in situ.

The residency’s aim is to carry out algorithmic experimentation (in the form of compositions, installations, etc.) in an iterative setting, with focus on process and specific constraints. Applicants are expected to work both independently and collaboratively during the residency. An additional researcher will observe and document the work process and contribute to the public exposition of the traces.

The tangible outcomes will be presented locally and internationally by the project team, and the artists are invited to attend events related to the project. We want to emphasise that research is the prime focus of the residency, but that we intend to provide opportunities for public presentation of the works and artefacts created through the process.

Duration of residency: 2 months

Start date (in situ): October 2017 (select time slots in form)

Remuneration: 5,000 EUR total (contract for work; subject to taxation where applicable). This sum is meant to cover all expenses, such as travelling, living costs and accommodation.

Julia Dubsky awarded Recent Graduate Residency 2017 at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios

February 17, 2017

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios have announced artist Julia Dubsky as the 2017 Recent Graduate Residency recipient. TBG+S is delighted to welcome Julia and looks forward to supporting her to develop her practice within the creative community of professional artists working in the studios.

The TBG+S Recent Graduate Residency is a professional development opportunity aimed at recent graduate artists in Ireland to assist in focussing their studio practices at this crucial point in their careers. Now in its fourth year, the residency offers a 12 month studio at TBG+S with added professional development supports. The residency, beginning in spring 2017, provides a large free studio for one year, in addition to a €1,000 stipend, €500 international travel bursary, a variety of institutional supports including mentoring and a programme of visiting curators’ visits.

Julia was awarded the residency by a selection panel of five people, following an open submission process which took place in January 2017. Working mainly in a wide, mostly muted pallet range on shallow stretchers, Julia’s work appears both figurative and abstract, channelling grapplings within a confined, flat surface, similar to an argument made in an essay.

The selection panel consisted of Mary Cremin (Programme Curator, TBG+S), Clíodhna Shaffrey (Director, TBG+S), Anne Kelly (Finance Manager, TBG+S), Kevin Cosgrove (TBG+S Studio Artist) and Barbara Knezevic (Artist).

Thanks to Saskatchewan Arts Board and PAVED Arts for supporting this project.

Information about the Site of the Residency

This 6 foot-deep hole was dug in 2012, with a 5-foot walkway circling a central mound of earth. This hole has been hollowed out of thick prairie grassland with roots dangling overhead. Since then this space has been subject to ongoing weather events like rain, snow, hail and wind. Various transformations have occurred due to gopher and swallow incursions, and larger animals like deer, foxes, skunks and coyotes that discovered this sheltered space.
A space such as this hole can be approached from the perspective of the Anthropocene and ecology, spirituality and burials, secrecy or revelations, history and agriculture, and metaphor and symbol. This land is especially significant in terms of the history of Saskatchewan since there is no evidence that it has ever been tilled.

Content of time / Information about the Residency

The premise of this residency is that new knowledge comes from the concentrated interaction of people with varying knowledge bases and perspectives. This hole in the ground is a possible site for conversation, contemplation, making sounds, reading out loud, or being silent. This is also about duration, about spending extended blocks of time surrounded by earth and sky, and one other person. This residency is open to anyone with an interest in exploring this experience regardless of age, artistic, educational or cultural background. Accessibility can be discussed.
This immersive experience provides an alternative model for participating in a residency. In this model the organizer of the residency is an active contributor with the participant in the entire process. In the Hole provides a context for looking directly at collaboration within an experiential perspective.

FAQs

What if it rains or snows? The show must go on. Umbrellas, warm coats and rain boots will be available.

What is the final product? The total emphasis of this project is duration and process, the visceral feel of being in this hole. If you want to create products leading from this experience later, that is your choice.

Can I create permanent or large-scale changes to the hole? Probably not but let’s discuss what you have in mind.

Open Call | NEARCH Art and Archaeology Research Residency

December 7, 2016

07da1_nov27_vaneyck_image Application deadline: 9 January

The Van Eyck in Maastricht (Netherlands) invites artists who have a strong interest in applying archaeology as a method in their own work to apply for a one-year research residency.

NEARCH
Van Eyck is a partner in the EU NEARCH project, which entails a long-term collaboration with Europe’s leading archaeological institutes and faculties. NEARCH receives EU funding and spans a period from 2013 to 2018. The fields of archaeology and art diverge in significant respects but we can also observe many parallels between them. Not only do artists and archaeologists share a passion for probing what lies beneath the surface, but they endeavour to reveal things that were formerly disregarded yet which have the potential to change our views of the past, present and future.

The Materiality of the Invisible
The Materiality of the Invisible is one of several themes touched on by NEARCH. It forms the starting point for research into what it is that connects and distinguishes the work of artists and archaeologists. It presents an opportunity to learn about the respective professions, as well as to exchange knowledge and to debate their fundamental assumptions, in a period of rapid change and shifting cultural positions.

Research residency
The selected artist will be expected to engage with the activities of NEARCH and with the rich cultural heritage of the Limburg region. Like NEARCH, the Government of the Dutch Province of Limburg is occupied with the question of how the contemporary relevance of that heritage can be furthered by new applications, new styles of presentation and new experience options. The artist will take his or her own artistic practice and research, combined with discussions with the heritage institutes and stakeholders of Limburg, the Netherlands and the world at large, as a basis for developing proposals, concepts and/or new work. The outcome will be presented at EAA 2017, the annual meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists, which is taking place in Maastricht in 2017. This presentation will form part of a wider exhibition on art and archaeology, The Materiality of the Invisible, in the Van Eyck, Marres and Bureau Europa in Maastricht.

What we are offering
–One one-year residency at the Van Eyck
–A monthly grant and a working budget
–The support of Van Eyck advisors, use of the Labs, and being part of the international multidisciplinary community of the Van Eyck
–Participation in the EU project NEARCH
–Participation in the exhibition The Materiality of the Invisible spread out over three venues in Maastricht

The project will explore participatory spatial strategies through performance, movement and sound, in conjunction with an ambitious design and build project. The Meet You at The Green? residency artist/designer/architect will be supported to research and further their practice within this context. They will be working alongside Meet You at The Green? commissioned Spanish architectural collective Todo Por La Praxis and Irish artists, Michelle Browne, Ríonach Ní Néill and Ed Devane who are all developing collaborative processes with intergenerational and local groups in Callan and surrounding region.

Open Call for Joint Residency | Centre for Philosophy and Visual Art and Kunsthuis SYB

November 23, 2016

open-call-resized Deadline for applications: 1 December, midnight

King’s College London’s Centre for Philosophy and Visual Art (CPVA), in partnership with Kunsthuis SYB (the Netherlands), is inviting artists to apply for their first ever joint residency programme. This two-stage residency is an exciting opportunity for artists with an existing interest or curiosity in philosophy to be included in university life and develop their research, after which they will be awarded time in Kunsthuis SYB to develop (a) new piece(s) of work.

Applicants working in any discipline or media are invited write a proposal in response to a topic discussed one of two lecture series (see options below; one artist per lecture series will be selected). The resulting works (finished or in progress) will be shown at presentations at the end of the artists’ stay at Kunsthuis SYB, and later in the year at a presentation at King’s College London.

At King’s College, the selected artists will be provided with a temporary student pass (giving them access to all of King’s facilities for the Spring term; 16-1-17 to 28-4-17). They will be expected to attend the lecture series they applied to, and will have the possibility of discussing their work with both the lecturer and the programme curator. King’s does not offer living or working space (except for standard library work spaces), so applicants must be able to provide the necessary facilities themselves. The CPVA offers a fee of £700, and up to a further £500 in expenses. In addition, King’s will host a presentation of the artists’ works at the end of 2017.

At Kunsthuis SYB (which is situated in the north of the Netherlands), the two artists are invited for a six week residency (18-9-17 to 30-10-17). This includes 24-hour access to a furnished apartment and studio space, organizational guidance, artistic feedback, publicity, and a presentation at SYB. During your residency in SYB you will be connected to an artist or curator from SYB’s programming committee for artistic feedback, and to a writer/art critic from SYB’s writers programme who will write about your project. In addition, SYB will offer a budget of €1000 for living expenses and materials.

A final selection will be made by the 12 December 2016.
