| THE EARTH OF (3): Ruptures and Reckonings | The Earth Of: Ruptures and Reckonings is a collective virtual space of inquiry. Through writing and discourse we investigate how to manifest and inhabit the fractures that pervade our lives, allowing for the creative space to grow organically through digressions, tangents, musings, and synchronistic linkages.What does it mean when humanity crosses a threshold of such significance it manifests as a rupture, when the world is on the cusp? The brain wants to organize, filter, and separate out. Yet, beyond the confusion perpetrated by language that fails to adequately define, are spaces. We find meaning when we implicitly inhabit these spaces”gestures that guide the cracks to spread toward shattering. These moments of rupture burst forth from gesture into reckoning, exposing us to what is real and true and essential.DirectorsThe Program will be directed by writers Ginger Teppner and Andrew Helton, two returning Visiting Artists at Arts Letters & Numbers.

Tour 1 will take place on Friday 1st October 2021 at 3pm Webinar will take place on Monday 18th October at 2pm Tour 2 will also take place on Monday 18th October at 4pm To register your interest, please email: office@lacuna-projects.com Background: None of the works in Sculpture in the City are here to stay, none are iconic statements; the pleasure is rather the unexpected interactions between works, places, people. [...] It is wholly different from the experience of rural sculpture parks, where monumental pieces stand proud and bold against open skies, yet nature always wins and remains the chief attraction. Here in the beleaguered post-pandemic city, sculpture transforms, cheers and heals. Jackie Wullschläger - The Financial Times The aim of the project is to use the Square Mile as a contemporary urban gallery space and to showcase cutting edge art in an area represented by the iconic contemporary towers as well as the layers of history nestled amongst these tall buildings. The need for partnership between culture and commerce has never been greater with the City of London spearheading various projects to ensure the Lord Mayor's vision to promote London's creative energy and competitive strengths. Sculpture in the City is firmly established as a flagship cultural project and is deeply embedded within the ongoing cross-sector programme to deliver and champion projects/ activations that unite business and the creative industries in London. Sculpture in the City is the City of London's annual programme which sees public artworks placed amidst the iconic architecture of the City Cluster. The latest outdoor exhibition, forming part of tenth anniversary edition is celebrated with works from 18 contemporary artists; including works by artists Laure Prouvost, Alice Channer, Eva Rothschild, Mark Handforth, Laura Arminda Kingsley, and Rosanne Robertson, among others, on display around the City's famous buildings and public spaces. Spanning St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate to Fenchurch Street Station Plaza, Leadenhall Market to Mitre Square, this year's edition will bring contemporary public artworks to the historic and modern spaces of the City. The current exhibition has achieved extensive press coverage, https://www.sculptureinthecity.org.uk/press/ with a successful campaign led by Brunswick Arts, including The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Time Out London, The Londonist, City Matters, City AM, Something Curated and London Live. A dedicated website sculptureinthecity.org.uk was launched in June 2018 featuring images and information about all the artworks to date as well as a downloadable map of the current edition. Once a year, the City of London, that enclave of suits, power lunches and Peloton subscriptions plays host to some very non-smashing-Q3-type artworks. ˜Sculpture in the City™ invites artists to create striking public pieces that " crucially " sit outside the security-guard-defended lobbies of the venture capitalists. It's a great chance to wander around the Square Mile and see it in a different light. Or just see it, full stop. Chris Waywell - TimeOut London Entry Requirements: The artwork(s) submitted need to be suitable for exhibiting outdoors in a busy urban environment and available from May 2022 to May 2023. Only fully completed submissions, relevant to the specified CATEGORY will be accepted. The 11th edition of Sculpture in the City offers a very unique opportunity for sculptors, artists, designers and illustrators to not only submit across any one of the five primary categories which are: 3D Sculpture 2D Graphic Installation Audio & Visual Hanging 3D Sculpture Light & Sound We will only accept a maximum of three applications per artist, per category. Anything exceeding this will be automatically disqualified. Historically: The artworks exhibited have in the past primarily been 3D and have shown works in a broad variety of materials from marble, stone and metal to neon and light pieces as well as mixed media that may include fabric, ceramic and other contemporary materials. The works may be free-standing or may be shown suspended; for example, hung in Leadenhall Marketor in a tree, or fixed to a wall. This could be time-based art such as sound, film, digital or other media work. We have shown sound work in previous editions as well as film work, which in the current edition is shown on the largest ceiling-mounted LED screen in Europe at ca. 180 sq feet at 10 Fenchurch Avenue as well as a bespoke printed vinyl piece under the escalators of the Leadenhall Building, with both locations currently on view, as part of the 10th edition of Sculpture in the City. We are also committed to including performance-related artworks. For the past three years, Sculpture in the City has been the associate programme partner to Whitechapel Gallery's Nocturnal Creatures, a contemporary arts festival that brings together artist performances, music, films, talks and culinary experiences in the heart of the East End, especially the area between the Whitechapel Gallery, Leadenhall Market and Liverpool Street. As part of the 2021 programme, Sculpture in the City commissioned Stone (Butch) Undercurrents (2021) by Rosanne Roberston and ˜Shells & Time™ by Isabella Martin as part of Whitechapel Gallery's Nocturnal Creatures. The exhibition does not have a specific set theme and artworks are selected based on their own merit and their suitability (in terms of material, scale and style) to the urban context. The Arts Advisory Group is sensitive to the current cultural concerns as well as the wider social and political context in which the exhibition is shown. There is a desire from the Arts Advisory Group to address issues including gender and equality issues, freedom, democracy and representation, belonging and climate concerns. The project is sited in the public realm and seen by close to 500,000 visitors every year. There are many potential sites in the area of varying size and conditions. The scale of the surrounding tall buildings calls for large scale works which have been shown very successfully to date. The prevalence of shiny monochrome buildings provide an ideal context for bold colour work. In addition, there are sites, such as the churchyards, which make ideal sites for smaller works. Over the years we have also hung works in Leadenhall Market, in trees, in alleyways, across lampposts, on the Lloyd's building and on the The Leadenhall Building (Cheesegrater). The scope of the project, and the urban context, allows for sculpture to be showcased in the most contemporary fashion. Weight and installation ease are often a defining factor as not many of the spaces have a large weight loading capacity and, in some cases, sites identified prove inaccessible. Artists shown to date include: 1st Edition (2011-2012): Anish Kapoor, Julian Opie, Franz West, Kenneth Armitage 2nd Edition (2012-2013): Tracey Emin, Angus Fairhurst, Thomas Houseago, Michael Craig-Martin, Yayoi Kusama, Dan Graham 3rd Edition (2013-2014): Ryan Gander, Chapman Brothers, Robert Indiana, Antony Gormley, Keith Coventry, Petroc Sesti, Jim Lambie, Richard Wentworth, Shirazeh Housiary 4th Edition (2014-2015): Cerith Wyn-Evans, Jim Lambie, Richard Wentworth, Nigel Hall, Peter Randall-Page, Joao Onofre, Lynn Chadwick, Ben Long, Julian Wild, Paul Hosking 5th Edition (2015-2016): Kris Martin, Laura Ford, Adam Chodzko, Folkert de Jong, Xavier Vielhan, Sigalit Landau, Ekkehard Altenburger, Tomoaki Suzuki, Keita Miyazaki, Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, Bruce Beasley, Shan Hur 6th Edition (2016-2017): Anthony Caro, Gavin Turk, William Kentridge & Gerhard Marx, Lizi Sanchez, Ugo Rondinone, Recycle Group, Jurgen Partenheimer, Huma Bhabha, Petroc Sesti, Michael Lyons, Benedetto Pietromarchi, Enrico David, Jaume Plensa, Mat Collishaw, Sarah Lucas and Giuseppe Penone. 7th Edition (2017-2018): Daniel Buren, Fernando Casasempere, Martin Creed, Ryan Gander, Damien Hirst, Kevin Killen, Paul McCarthy, Nathaniel Rackowe, Peter Randall-Page RA, Recycle Group, Bosco Sodi, Karen Tang, Gavin Turk, Mhairi Vari, Mark Wallinger and Gary Webb. 8th Edition (2018-2019): Marina AbramovicÌ, David Annesley, Shaun C Badham, Miroslaw Balka, Jyll Bradley, Tracey Emin CBE RA, Clare Jarrett, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Gabriel Lester, Sarah Lucas, Amanda Lwin, Jean-Luc MouleÌ€ne, Michail Pirgelis, Thomas J Price, Richard Rome, Nancy Rubins, Sean Scully RA, Do Ho Suh and Karen Tang. 9th Edition (2019-2020): Salvatore Arancio, Reza Aramesh, Elisa Artesero, Shaun C Badham, Jyll Bradley, Nathan Coley, Marisa Ferreira, Leo Fitzmaurice, Kevin Francis Gray, Clare Jarrett, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Michael Lyons, Nancy Rubins, Nina Saunders, Jennifer Steinkamp, Do Ho Suh, Jonathan Trayte (Autumn 2019), Patrick Tuttofuoco and Lawrence Weiner. 10th Edition (2021-2021): Alice Channer, Almuth Tebbenhoff, Bram Ellens, Elisa Artesero, Eva Rothschild, Guillaume Vandame, Isabella Martin, Jake Elwes, Jun T.

Selection Process: Works submitted are shortlisted for consideration by the Arts Advisory Group: Jane Alison, Head of Visual Arts, Barbican Art Centre; Iwona Blazwick OBE, Director, Whitechapel Gallery; Whitney Hintz, Hiscox Curator; and Andrea Schlieker, Tate Britain. In 2020 we also welcomed guest artist Thomas J Price, who exhibited in Sculpture in the City in 2018; and Sepake Angiama, Artistic Director, Iniva. Following shortlisting by the Arts Advisory Group each artist and/or gallerist is invited for a site visit to identify which site(s) in the area are most suitable for showcasing the selected work. When all shortlisted artwork sites have been identified the project team liaises with the landowners to obtain their approval for particular artworks to be shown on their land. The project team also takes care of health and safety, planning, engineering and installation requirements, and any other legal requirements the project needs to comply with. We aim to confirm the final installation list in March 2022 and will be installing works in May and June 2022, with the official project launching on June 2022 - TBC Conditions of Participation: The works are on loan for 12 months (May 2022-May 2023).

The project is sited in the public realm and seen by close to 500,000 visitors every year. There are many potential sites in the area of varying size and conditions. The scale of the surrounding tall buildings calls for large scale works which have been shown very successfully to date. The prevalence of shiny monochrome buildings provide an ideal context for bold colour work. In addition, there are sites, such as the churchyards, which make ideal sites for smaller works. Over the years we have also hung works in Leadenhall Market, in trees, in alleyways, across lampposts, on the Lloyd's building and on the The Leadenhall Building (Cheesegrater). The scope of the project, and the urban context, allows for sculpture to be showcased in the most contemporary fashion. Weight and installation ease are often a defining factor as not many of the spaces have a large weight loading capacity and, in some cases, sites identified prove inaccessible. Artists shown to date include: 1st Edition (2011-2012): Anish Kapoor, Julian Opie, Franz West, Kenneth Armitage 2nd Edition (2012-2013): Tracey Emin, Angus Fairhurst, Thomas Houseago, Michael Craig-Martin, Yayoi Kusama, Dan Graham 3rd Edition (2013-2014): Ryan Gander, Chapman Brothers, Robert Indiana, Antony Gormley, Keith Coventry, Petroc Sesti, Jim Lambie, Richard Wentworth, Shirazeh Housiary 4th Edition (2014-2015): Cerith Wyn-Evans, Jim Lambie, Richard Wentworth, Nigel Hall, Peter Randall-Page, Joao Onofre, Lynn Chadwick, Ben Long, Julian Wild, Paul Hosking 5th Edition (2015-2016): Kris Martin, Laura Ford, Adam Chodzko, Folkert de Jong, Xavier Vielhan, Sigalit Landau, Ekkehard Altenburger, Tomoaki Suzuki, Keita Miyazaki, Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, Bruce Beasley, Shan Hur 6th Edition (2016-2017): Anthony Caro, Gavin Turk, William Kentridge & Gerhard Marx, Lizi Sanchez, Ugo Rondinone, Recycle Group, Jurgen Partenheimer, Huma Bhabha, Petroc Sesti, Michael Lyons, Benedetto Pietromarchi, Enrico David, Jaume Plensa, Mat Collishaw, Sarah Lucas and Giuseppe Penone. 7th Edition (2017-2018): Daniel Buren, Fernando Casasempere, Martin Creed, Ryan Gander, Damien Hirst, Kevin Killen, Paul McCarthy, Nathaniel Rackowe, Peter Randall-Page RA, Recycle Group, Bosco Sodi, Karen Tang, Gavin Turk, Mhairi Vari, Mark Wallinger and Gary Webb. 8th Edition (2018-2019): Marina AbramovicÌ, David Annesley, Shaun C Badham, Miroslaw Balka, Jyll Bradley, Tracey Emin CBE RA, Clare Jarrett, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Gabriel Lester, Sarah Lucas, Amanda Lwin, Jean-Luc MouleÌ€ne, Michail Pirgelis, Thomas J Price, Richard Rome, Nancy Rubins, Sean Scully RA, Do Ho Suh and Karen Tang. 9th Edition (2019-2020): Salvatore Arancio, Reza Aramesh, Elisa Artesero, Shaun C Badham, Jyll Bradley, Nathan Coley, Marisa Ferreira, Leo Fitzmaurice, Kevin Francis Gray, Clare Jarrett, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Michael Lyons, Nancy Rubins, Nina Saunders, Jennifer Steinkamp, Do Ho Suh, Jonathan Trayte (Autumn 2019), Patrick Tuttofuoco and Lawrence Weiner. 10th Edition (2021-2021): Alice Channer, Almuth Tebbenhoff, Bram Ellens, Elisa Artesero, Eva Rothschild, Guillaume Vandame, Isabella Martin, Jake Elwes, Jun T.

Selection Process: Works submitted are shortlisted for consideration by the Arts Advisory Group: Jane Alison, Head of Visual Arts, Barbican Art Centre; Iwona Blazwick OBE, Director, Whitechapel Gallery; Whitney Hintz, Hiscox Curator; and Andrea Schlieker, Tate Britain. In 2020 we also welcomed guest artist Thomas J Price, who exhibited in Sculpture in the City in 2018; and Sepake Angiama, Artistic Director, Iniva. Following shortlisting by the Arts Advisory Group each artist and/or gallerist is invited for a site visit to identify which site(s) in the area are most suitable for showcasing the selected work. When all shortlisted artwork sites have been identified the project team liaises with the landowners to obtain their approval for particular artworks to be shown on their land. The project team also takes care of health and safety, planning, engineering and installation requirements, and any other legal requirements the project needs to comply with. We aim to confirm the final installation list in March 2022 and will be installing works in May and June 2022, with the official project launching on June 2022 - TBC Conditions of Participation: The works are on loan for 12 months (May 2022-May 2023).

| SCULPTURE IN THE CITY - 11th Edition: Audio & Visual Category | Sculpture in the City is an award-winning urban sculpture park which launches every year in June. A cultural initiative delivered by the City of London in partnership with 11 local businesses, it is sited in the EC3 (insurance district) area of the City, around the iconic towers of the Gherkin, the Leadenhall Building (The Cheesegrater), Lloyd's building, 22 Bishopsgate as well as inside Leadenhall Market. The 11th edition of Sculpture in the City offers a very unique opportunity for sculptors, artists, designers and illustrators to not only submit across any one of the five primary categories which are: 3D Sculpture, 2D Graphic Installation, Audio & Visual, Hanging 3D Sculpture and Light & Sound. The call for submissions for the 11th edition of Sculpture in the City is now open for preexisting works that can be exhibited outdoors from May 2022 to May 2022. This is the page dedicated to submitting to the Audio & Visual Category. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 27th October 2021. Sculpture in the City has delivered 130 artworks over 10 editions successfully amplifying the urban context the show is delivered in; responding to and breathing life into the unique relationship between the historical City landscape and it's iconic contemporary architecture. In response to the success of the landmark 10th edition of the Sculpture in the City, we are keen to expand on the engagement with the unique landscape and structures that the City has at its disposal. We are very keen to look at broadening not only the scope of participation, but also the breadth of our reach to allow for a more inclusive and varied approach to representing contemporary public art within this context. We are launching the open call for submission for the 11th edition of Sculpture in the City on the 27th September 2021 and are delighted to announce the expansion of the submission criteria. This is the submission page for the Audio & Visual Category and only works that fulfill this criteria will be considered. If you are unsure, we encourage you to look at the submission criteria further down to see all categories listed. Examples for reference for the Audio & Visual Category include: Jake Elwes , Latent Space -120 Fenchurch Street (Hogarth Court) Jennifer Steinkamp , Botanic - 120 Fenchurch Street (Hogarth Court) The successful submissions will be on view for a year within one of London's most iconic architecture areas. The artworks selected for installation are sited in dialogue with both the architecture and the artist. In addition, Lacuna will organise a webinar for artists unable to join the ˜in real life™ tours to join online where they will have the opportunity to ask questions. The webinar will be recorded and shared online for anyone who is unable to attend. Tour 1 will take place on Friday 1st October 2021 at 3pm Webinar will take place on Monday 18th October at 2pm Tour 2 will also take place on Monday 18th October at 4pm To register your interest, please email: office@lacuna-projects.com Background: None of the works in Sculpture in the City are here to stay, none are iconic statements; the pleasure is rather the unexpected interactions between works, places, people. [...] It is wholly different from the experience of rural sculpture parks, where monumental pieces stand proud and bold against open skies, yet nature always wins and remains the chief attraction. Here in the beleaguered post-pandemic city, sculpture transforms, cheers and heals. Jackie Wullschläger - The Financial Times The aim of the project is to use the Square Mile as a contemporary urban gallery space and to showcase cutting edge art in an area represented by the iconic contemporary towers as well as the layers of history nestled amongst these tall buildings. The need for partnership between culture and commerce has never been greater with the City of London spearheading various projects to ensure the Lord Mayor's vision to promote London's creative energy and competitive strengths. Sculpture in the City is firmly established as a flagship cultural project and is deeply embedded within the ongoing cross-sector programme to deliver and champion projects/ activations that unite business and the creative industries in London. Sculpture in the City is the City of London's annual programme which sees public artworks placed amidst the iconic architecture of the City Cluster. The latest outdoor exhibition, forming part of tenth anniversary edition is celebrated with works from 18 contemporary artists; including works by artists Laure Prouvost, Alice Channer, Eva Rothschild, Mark Handforth, Laura Arminda Kingsley, and Rosanne Robertson, among others, on display around the City's famous buildings and public spaces. Spanning St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate to Fenchurch Street Station Plaza, Leadenhall Market to Mitre Square, this year's edition will bring contemporary public artworks to the historic and modern spaces of the City. The current exhibition has achieved extensive press coverage, https://www.sculptureinthecity.org.uk/press/ with a successful campaign led by Brunswick Arts, including The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Time Out London, The Londonist, City Matters, City AM, Something Curated and London Live. A dedicated website sculptureinthecity.org.uk was launched in June 2018 featuring images and information about all the artworks to date as well as a downloadable map of the current edition. Once a year, the City of London, that enclave of suits, power lunches and Peloton subscriptions plays host to some very non-smashing-Q3-type artworks. ˜Sculpture in the City™ invites artists to create striking public pieces that " crucially " sit outside the security-guard-defended lobbies of the venture capitalists. It's a great chance to wander around the Square Mile and see it in a different light. Or just see it, full stop. Chris Waywell - TimeOut London Entry Requirements: The artwork(s) submitted need to be suitable for exhibiting outdoors in a busy urban environment and available from May 2022 to May 2023. Only fully completed submissions, relevant to the specified CATEGORY will be accepted. The 11th edition of Sculpture in the City offers a very unique opportunity for sculptors, artists, designers and illustrators to not only submit across any one of the five primary categories which are: 3D Sculpture 2D Graphic Installation Audio & Visual Hanging 3D Sculpture Light & Sound We will only accept a maximum of three applications per artist, per category. Anything exceeding this will be automatically disqualified. Historically: The artworks exhibited have in the past primarily been 3D and have shown works in a broad variety of materials from marble, stone and metal to neon and light pieces as well as mixed media that may include fabric, ceramic and other contemporary materials. The works may be free-standing or may be shown suspended; for example, hung in Leadenhall Marketor in a tree, or fixed to a wall. This could be time-based art such as sound, film, digital or other media work. We have shown sound work in previous editions as well as film work, which in the current edition is shown on the largest ceiling-mounted LED screen in Europe at ca. 180 sq feet at 10 Fenchurch Avenue as well as a bespoke printed vinyl piece under the escalators of the Leadenhall Building, with both locations currently on view, as part of the 10th edition of Sculpture in the City. We are also committed to including performance-related artworks. For the past three years, Sculpture in the City has been the associate programme partner to Whitechapel Gallery's Nocturnal Creatures, a contemporary arts festival that brings together artist performances, music, films, talks and culinary experiences in the heart of the East End, especially the area between the Whitechapel Gallery, Leadenhall Market and Liverpool Street. As part of the 2021 programme, Sculpture in the City commissioned Stone (Butch) Undercurrents (2021) by Rosanne Roberston and ˜Shells & Time™ by Isabella Martin as part of Whitechapel Gallery's Nocturnal Creatures. The exhibition does not have a specific set theme and artworks are selected based on their own merit and their suitability (in terms of material, scale and style) to the urban context. The Arts Advisory Group is sensitive to the current cultural concerns as well as the wider social and political context in which the exhibition is shown. There is a desire from the Arts Advisory Group to address issues including gender and equality issues, freedom, democracy and representation, belonging and climate concerns. The project is sited in the public realm and seen by close to 500,000 visitors every year. There are many potential sites in the area of varying size and conditions.

| Women at Work - contribute to the zine and the archive | This project is a contribution to gender studies in the field of visual culture to dismantle the current approach, proposing and developing new and not degrading and objectifying aesthetics and practices. The "Women At Work" campaign, launched by the femLENS association , was created to claim the dignity of the narration of women's work, be it manual, intellectual or domestic. To the project, F.I.G.A. by Alysvisualart.com participates as a femLENS Ambassador by collecting and publishing photographic works made by Italian women both resident in Italy and expats abroad. The goal is to create an alternative to traditional stock images of women at work by documenting reality, making seemingly distant realities dialogue. To do this, our common mission is to give a voice to communities through documentary photography by providing free visual and technological education to women. It has been a long time since we've seen undistorted portraits of working women in print media. Since the start of the era of consumerism and social media, what we are exposed to is either airbrushed celebrities or the poverty on the other side of the social ladder. Two works will be selected for international publication in the zine Women at Work curated by femLENS which will be released at the end of 2021. The two selected participants will receive a prize of ‚¬100 to support the activity and research. All the selected works will be published F.i.g.a. Pop-Up, first edition of the photozine dedicated to the project F.I.G.A. for the re-appropriation of bodies, spaces and meanings, downloadable from the alysvisualart.com site from January 2022; in addition, all participants will be invited to participate immediately to get to know our community on the Discord platform, a virtual laboratory of artivism and photographic documentation. Instructions: If you would like to contribute your photographs of working women, please follow these steps: 1. A selection of 1 to 10 relevant images of women at work. 2. Make sure to include your name, the name of the woman in the photo, the job/role she is doing, city/country and date, as well as your approval for the photos to be licensed under the CC BY-NC-ND: (Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives) license . You can also write an artist statement and a short biography if you like. 3. If you like, consider interviewing a woman, using the questions below. Ask other questions that you feel are appropriate as long as you record the question and the answer. Record your notes on a separate sheet of paper or on your phone. | 2021-11-17 00:00:00 | Check Link | curatorspcae | |
| Collecting Recipes from Improvisers | Seeking recipes from improvisers: food, music, artistic, and otherwise The PhD thesis 'the Improvisers Cookbook' (part of the European Research Council project IRiMaS) is looking for 'recipes' from improvisers. If you are an improviser we would love to include a recipe from you. Recipes are entirely open, food, musical, imaginary....it is up to you! The cookbook will be published at the culmination of the research in September 2022. The definition of recipe is entirely open, maybe it is food related, maybe it isn't ...a drawing, or a vague list of smells or things, an oral history, or maybe it is a very detailed instruction to make the forbidden fruit of improvised culinary experience? Recipes are interesting documents which show the diversity in how we impart and remember knowledge, and are also lovely artefacts of the kinds of backgrounds, histories, and cultures we bring with us to share with those around us. By submitting a recipe you will be inlcuded within a international research pool of artsits who have contributed to the IRiMaS project, to read more about the project please visit: https://research.hud.ac.uk/institutes-centres/irimas/ Thank you for your time, and your recipes.

| Queer Death Society. A mixed media and genre zine. | We™re a zine dedicated to queering assumptions about death, dying & mourning. We care about queer bonds & unsettling norms. We do art, essays, poems, photos, interviews, experiments, obituaries, ideas & trash. Give us what you™ve got for our second edition. Not sure where to start? Think of 'queering' as tool to ask difficult and trangressive questions and to centre queer lives, communities and contexts. Your contribution might be asking questions about, for example, whose lives are treated as valuable (think black lives matter) or how living matter actually decomposes? It might be challenging ideas about the 'right' time to die or the 'right' way to grieve a death of someone or something. It might be commemorating the loss of loved ones and asking what death means for inter-species relationships and ecological systems. It might be tackling sexism and racism in the provision of palliative care or in funeral services. It might be sharing different ideas about an after or eternal life. It might be all these things and more. Check out of the first edition of QDS for inspiration . We want to know what matters to you. We want to be surprised and moved. Please use the submission form to send us what you've got as either an image, word doc or pdf. We'd love to know a bit more about your contribution and you, so please provide this information. We're DiY, non-profit & volunteer but we offer £30 for 4 contributions by black artists and other artists of colour and minoritised ethnicities. Not sure it's a fit? Contact us & ask.

| Open Call VII Festival Video nodoCCS | Details The word node can refer to different concepts depending on the field in which we move. Since we started being nodoCCS, our realities have transformed at an exponential rate, changing our way of being, thinking and interacting and modifying our expectations about our role and about the world around us. nodoCCS presents itself as an open, artist-run platform that seeks to "create and maintain spaces" in which diverse groups and communities feel welcome to become more than the sum of their parts, and to shape porous spaces that explore the worlds of our existence, from different perspectives. As every year we will bring together an eclectic and diverse group of people to share their videos. Poets, explorers, artists, the misrepresented and the forgotten will be part of the journey, creating digital content that will lead to offline and online events in Caracas and/or beyond. We will practice new ways of coming together, expanding the scope of our imagination through new ways of collaborating to create and maintain spaces around video with the intention of finding urgent issues that inspire and concern us all. Last year's experience inspired us to go beyond the gallery space and expand the physical locations of our screenings, generate global dynamics, new ways to collaborate and above all articulate our work to this new reality. This year's Festival programming will feature online viewing rooms, panel discussions with selected authors, experimental rooms and face-to-face events that will take place between November and December 2021, a hybrid programming that everyone can be part of no matter where they are physically located. The VII Festival de Video nodoCARACAS takes these ideas as a basis to propose its VII Video Festival, which by reinventing itself once again reaffirms its intention to "hold spaces'' for the encounter in a fragmented and strange world that inspires us to continue creating. _ OPEN CALL 2021 BASES Fill out the form to be part of the VII nodoCCS Video Festival 2021 CALL FOR ENTRIES VII nodoCCS Video Festival Open until OCTOBER 30, 2021 1.

| Pop Art | While the Pop Art movement started in the 1950s in Great Britain and sought to explore popular culture and make art more affordable, today, Pop Art has a different approach. While the affordability is still there, the themes from American pop culture (westerns, fiction, and so on) jumped into more vast choices. Pop Art now is questioning the movement's founding fathers, including the interpretations of their works. This art movement is starting to approach itself much more than reflect consumerism, commercials, and massive production. Pop Art has many faces, many different ideas behind it. However, one visual aspect is joining all these differences " art pieces are popping out with their bold colour palette, the zoomed-in approach of various images and commercial-like perspective. For this virtual art exhibition, we want to see how Pop Art evolved, how it changed and where it is going.Is it still a mirror of contemporary society?Is it more than images of celebrities and fictional comic book characters? Are we lost in the Marily Monroe and Disney images?Is Pop Art still blurring the boundaries between high art and low culture? Or did it become high culture?Let's dive into a journey of today's Pop Art.***Pop Art virtual art exhibition is an international competition and welcomes all professional artists from all countries. For this international competition, both 2D and 3D artists are welcomed to submit their artworks and photographs. Artists 18 years old and older may apply. Deadline: November 1st, 2021. Selected artists will be represented at the Pop Art virtual art exhibition, will be featured, marketed and promoted extensively through the gallery's website, as well as Bougie Art Gallery Magazine and dedicated catalogue (both available as a hard copy and a digital copy), on email marketing campaigns, and through our extensive and continually growing social media networks. One selected artist will be chosen for collaboration with Bougie Art Gallery. Bougie Art Gallery has thousands of visitors per month from more than 30 different countries.

| Freedom for Free | Call for Exhibition " Accepted media: Photography, Digital Visual Design, VideoGroup Exhibition in Rome or Milan city, Italy. December 2021FREE ENTRY Photographers, Visual Designers and Video artists are invited to submit 1 to 3 works addressing the theme.In the modern age we have rediscovered a concept of Freedom increasingly linked to the right to redeem something obtained in exchange for something else. The medium of exchange is money, a bypass for freedom that allows us to satisfy our desires, vices and needs.It is the same invisible structure within which we lead our existence to propose the windows of freedom, a selection of products and services that summon us to rooms of pleasure, where the dormant senses are stimulated and reactivated to rekindle with our emotions, the only residues of our human nature, that also make us alive.The protagonists of the art world, as well as any author of any form of free expression, were the first to understand the need to live beyond these structures. This call is an invitation to propose works that testify to this rupture, where freedom is obtained without any exchange, where it is not a product and it is priceless.Become a member and unlock access to jobs and all premium articles and news content | 2021-12-07 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | Artshub | |

| Hall of Fake art & data show on creative festival in Moscow, Russia | «Hall of Fake» is an art interpretation of new media reality trends (fakenews, cancel culture, digital ethics, info bubble syndrome) in a form of an online international artists exposition. The project is aimed to raise digital ethics awareness & fact-checking issue in the society. We are looking for digital art (video or static) representing digital culture to exhibit on screens at the international advertising creative festival Red Apple in Moscow, Russia on 3rd November. The submission deadline is 15th October 2021. The 31st creative festival Red Apple will take place on 3d of November, 2021 in Moscow. In terms of the festival the anti-fake news working group of The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Russia will present a unique project of an art&data show «Hall of Fake». «Hall of Fake» is an art interpretation of new media reality trends (fakenews, cancel culture, digital ethics, info bubble syndrome) in the form of an online international artists exposition. The project is aimed to raise digital ethics awareness & fact checking in society. Digital screen culture has produced the information bubble syndrome, which is dramatically reinforced by social media, when each of us receives content that the AI algorithm has chosen for us. This issue polarises the society into micro communities and provokes intolerance towards opposite opinions as well as fakenews. The IAB Russia anti-fake working group has initiated the fakenews awareness research among the professional association members. 81% IAB Russia respondents consider that we have to increase the media literacy of our society; 71,4% marked the necessity of explanatory clarification document formed by judicial practice in terms of anti fake legislation towards media platforms; 61,9% respondents registered the necessity of industrial media guide formation. Moreover, the first results of IAB Russia poll showed the need of fakenews awareness campaign among the general public society as well. More than 80% respondents do not apply to an original media source of doubtful information; 63% don't consider an information resource reliable enough if they don't share editorial policy of this source 56% believe that the information in the private social media feed of a journalist differs from the information that this journalist publishes in their corporate media platform. As a result they prefer their private accounts in social network. Therefore, art&data show «Hall of Fake» project, presented in terms of the creative Red Apple festival, has some clean-cut social impact purposes: 1.UGC encouragement driven by art and creative approach. 2. The possibility to enrich the IAB Russia poll data research concerning fakenews awareness. 3. Scaling up the project to the international online flash mob or road show in order to popularise the media literacy of the public society in the period of fakenews. «The art&data show «Hall of Fake» poster idea is based upon a transparent Photoshop background, complemented by warm attention zones from eye tracking technology. In terms of this context it refers us to the need to concentrate on digital ethics & fact-checking issues in order to make our information feed safer and more transparent in spite of click bate fake-news distribution in the period of attention economy. Artists from any country are invited to submit up to 3 digital artworks (video or static) representing digital culture to exhibit on screens during the festival. expo Instagram https://instagram.com/hallofffake expo link https://taplink.cc/valia_paella/p/6e06cc/ | 2021-10-15 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | curatorspcae | |

| Open Call VII Festival Video nodoCCS | Since we started being nodoCCS, our realities have transformed at an exponential rate, changing our way of being, thinking and interacting and modifying our expectations about our role and about the world around us.nodoCCS presents itself as an open, artist-run platform that seeks to create and maintain spaces in which diverse groups and communities feel welcome to become more than the sum of their parts, and to shape porous spaces that explore the worlds of our existence, from different perspectives.As every year we will bring together an eclectic and diverse group of people to share their videos. Poets, explorers, artists, the misrepresented and the forgotten will be part of the journey, creating digital content that will lead to offline and online events in Caracas and/or beyond.We will practice new ways of coming together, expanding the scope of our imagination through new ways of collaborating to create and maintain spaces around video with the intention of finding urgent issues that inspire and concern us all.Last year's experience inspired us to go beyond the gallery space and expand the physical locations of our screenings, generate global dynamics, new ways to collaborate and above all articulate our work to this new reality. This year's Festival programming will feature online viewing rooms, panel discussions with selected authors, experimental rooms and face-to-face events that will take place between November and December 2021, a hybrid programming that everyone can be part of no matter where they are physically located.The VII Festival de Video nodoCARACAS takes these ideas as a basis to propose its VII Video Festival, which by reinventing itself once again reaffirms its intention to hold spaces for the encounter in a fragmented and strange world that inspires us to continue creating.For more information, visit en.nodoccs.comBecome a member and unlock access to jobs and all premium articles and news content | 2021-10-30 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | Artshub | |

| Call for UK based artists for Gates Wide Open | This is an open call for artists who graduated during the COVID years or for those whose study or training was affected by the COVID experience. Four selected artists will receive £500 each to exhibit their work at Salisbury Arts Centre (part of Wiltshire Creative) in an exhibition 'Gates Wide Open' 15 March " 8 May 2022. This exhibition will be a result of an open call submission seeking work by graduates of the creative disciplines who have been affected by the COVID pandemic. We recognise that in recent years a considerable blow to all areas of the arts industry has been dealt, and this was particularly felt amongst the students who experienced learning via Zoom instead of the expected route of hands on skills and idea development: students who had their final exhibitions cancelled or moved online. We know that a tremendous effort has been made in making the virtual platform work and as a positive consequence many graduates reached a wider audience than they would have otherwise. However, for some disciplines neither teaching/learning or presenting/receiving can be replaced by the actual touch of the material and the immersiveness of a face to face encounter by any online platform. In the last two years publicly funded organisations have come in for criticism from various angles. One such was the accusation of stubborn gatekeeping by these organisations and the lack of commitment to work with emerging artists. Wiltshire Creative is an NPO committed to working with young artists or artists entering their careers and to providing experience/ job opportunities for those who wish to work in the arts. For the exhibition Gates Wide Open we will engage young selectors to present emerging work. Work conceived and created under COVID within the lockdown restricted access to studios and creative spaces. This is an open call for artists who graduated during the COVID years or for those whose study or training was affected by the COVID experience. Four selected artists will receive £500 each to exhibit their work at Salisbury Arts Centre in an exhibition Gates Wide Open 15 March " 8 May 2022. The artists who are eligible to apply for this exhibition are: - Those visual artists who completed their study of an art subject and graduated from art school/University during the COVID pandemic 2020 and 2021 - Those visual artists who completed training or served an apprenticeship in creative industries during COVID pandemic 2020 and 2021 - Open to any visual arts specialisms (fine arts, drawing, photography, sculpture, ceramics, glass, textiles, video, installation, painting, illustration, design, mixed media, calligraphy, fashion, wood, graphic design, projection, etc.) - This call out is specific to artists who completed their education not for artists currently in education, neither is it for artists who graduated or finished training in 2019 or before. - This call out is for UK-based artists only. Based in the City of Salisbury, Wiltshire Creative is a pan-arts organisation which draws audiences from across the county and beyond. We are one of the largest NPOs in Southwest England formed in 2018 by the merger of three legacy organisations - Salisbury International Arts Festival, Salisbury Arts Centre and Salisbury Playhouse. In Spring 2022 as part of our Visual Arts programme we seek to produce an exhibition titled Gates Wide Open . This exhibition will be chosen from the open submissions by a panel of selectors which represents contemporary voices of professional arts activists who fight for the exposure and correct treatment of emerging ideas and talents: The panel of selectors: The White Pube " Zarina Muhammad and Gabrielle de la Puente, @sadgrads2020 " Jody Mulvey Gates Wide Open Four artists selected from the submissions will receive an all inclusive fee of £500 each to enable them to exhibit their work at Salisbury Arts Centre.

Candidates will also need excellent interpersonal skills and a talent for working collaboratively and flexibly as part of a small but dedicated team.

For future exhibitions, the work will be spread across a 20-month period with a peak during the build up to, over the exhibition and its dismantling. This is a part-time, freelance position for which we pay a monthly fee of £750, which is doubled for the 2 months of the show.

| Carbon - Borders - Voices | Carbon - Borders - Voices is a growing interdisciplinary conversation involving research and practice focusing on coastal/border places of transition within the context of climate crisis. We envisage a space for interaction, exchange, debate and collaboration between the arts and sciences at this critical moment in time. The Open Call is an opportunity to submit works, ideas, fragments or abstracts for presentation in an online exhibition in November 2021, which seeks to forge connections and relationships between diverse practices. We invite written and visual submissions in response to the theme Carbon - Borders - Voices . We have no expectations or presumptions but simply invite you to respond through your practice - as artists, scientists or writers. This could include, but is not restricted to: ¢ Visual and time-based arts - photography, video and film, sound works, print, surface-based works, ceramics, textiles, land art, generative and digital work, 3D design. ¢ Scientific/interdisciplinary research , including experimental and applied research, in the form of text, documentation of project work, articles and essays. ¢ Creative/cultural writing/criticism , including essays, poetry, stories. We welcome collaborative/conversational submissions, experimental approaches, as well as works in progress, for example sketchbook pages, written excerpts and abstracts, plans and proposals. Your submission should be 'publication ready'. One of the team may contact you to make some changes. Suggested/indicative keywords : transition, channel, state, line, zone, community, storytelling, collective, memory, climate, marker, impact, environment, fault, change, mapping, deep time, sediment, shift, process, erosion, remains, future. ----- As we head towards the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November there is another opportunity to make hard choices about the future the world wants. Clearly the time for inaction and kicking the 'climate change can' further down the road has passed - there is need to raise the bar on action. The state of the emergency has been brought home by floods, record heat, fires and ensuing lack of adaptation measures in place to deal with this challenge. The climate emergency and COP26 is not just an opportunity for scientists, politicians and economists to come together - this is an opportunity to respond collectively by building relationships through the sharing of work which may otherwise be isolated, and to foster meaningful associations in cross-cultural counterpoint. Following on from here we aim to hold a physical exhibition, building on the connections which develop from this digital exhibition. We aim to hold this in an appropriate geographical location and venue. | 2021-10-15 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | curatorspcae | |

| ORBIT: Open Call for November Instagram Residencies for Emerging Artists | ORBIT is (for the timebeing) an online initiative, aiming to support and showcase the work of emerging artists and writers throughout the UK, with the initial aim of publishing reviews/articles and hosting residencies on a weekly basis. ORBIT hopes to act as a platform for discussion and collaboration between artists at all different stages of their career from all across the country. ORBIT is an online initiative aiming to support and showcase the work of emerging artists and writers. We are looking to host weekly residencies on our instagram page ( @orrbbitt ) to support the development of artists in the early stages of their careers, and help to expose their work to a wider audience in the hope that they can forge connections with other artists working across the country. Residencies can consist of whatever the artist desires. Whether you want to just share your work with other people and tell us a bit about your practice, or you have a specific project that you want to carry out that our platform would be suitable for, we will be able to accomodate you. There is no specific guidelines or rules to the residencies, however it's preferred that artists make at least one post per day, and try to talk about their practise in as much detail as possible. I want to know about the thoughts and ideas that contirbute towards the development of artist's work, the skills and techniques they use to make their work, how their work has progressed, what they experience and learn through creating their work, etc.. Artists should try and be as explicit and detailed as possible, as ORBIT aims to be a space where people can fully gain an understanding of an artist's practise, and allow the audience to get a better insight into the work that goes into making all these wondeful pieces of work! The concepts and developments are so integral to an artist's work, and I really want to use ORBIT to highlight this throughout the year, and try and show how sometimes the research/development stages of a work can be just as interesting and exciting as the final offering!

| LGBT History Month Solo Art Exhibition Open Call | This upcoming LGBT History Month February 2022 we would like to offer our gallery space to an artist to create a solo show of artworks that explore the history of the LGBT community in some way. We are particularly keen to hear from local LGBT artists, young people, and other under-represented groups. This upcoming LGBT History Month February 2022 we would like to offer our gallery space to an artist to create a solo show of artworks that explore the history of the LGBT community in some way. We are particularly keen to hear from local LGBT artists, young people, and other under-represented groups. Our vision at The Hive is thriving, creative communities and we support exhibitions of interesting and inspiring visual artwork encouraging local engagement. We do not expect payment for exhibiting artwork in our gallery, only the contribution of an accompanying activity to better understand you and your artistic practice, which could take the form of an artist talk, exhibition tour or creative workshop. All art forms are welcome to be submitted, though we ask applicants to consider that The Hive is a multifunctional space that can range at times from being a gig venue, a youth club and a toddler play area, so artworks would need to be secure and strong enough to encounter many groups and the odd unsupervised curious hand. As a charity operating on a tight budget The Hive will be unable to assist with the cost of transportation of artworks to and from the gallery, or the cost of framing any of the artworks in the show. Please make clear in your submission how you intend to install and display the artworks in the show. The exhibition will display for roughly 4 weeks, and The Hive will promote the exhibition and activity online, in our printed brochure and local posters. A private view of the show will be held in an evening at the start to open the show and guests will be welcome to purchase refreshments from our café/bar.

| Artwork for new West Yorkshire Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Service | We are looking for artwork for the Red Kite View Art Gallery which will reside in the main reception of the new hospital. Our ARTS STRATEGY aims to create a safe, clinically appropriate space that uses the arts to provide visual appeal but that also offers a recovering well, and inspiring environment which aims to address some of the wider challenges faced by young people through acknowledging the role that creativity has to play. This new £20 million unit, to be known as Red Kite View, will accommodate a new enhanced Children and Young People's Mental Health Inpatient Service (previously known as CAMHS). The new unit will include 22 inpatient beds and much needed improvements and facilities for children and young people across West Yorkshire. This will include a range of spacious and therapeutic areas, including a multi-purpose activity room, educational facilities, a family visiting room, courtyards and a green communal space for service users and staff. The plans for the new unit were developed with young people and their families, and will deliver a high quality environment and the best possible care for young people. At the end of December 2020, and following consultation with residents at York's Mill Lodge, Leeds™ Little Woodhouse Hall, and Youth Board members, the name of the CAMHS unit will be " Red Kite View. The Kite is a bird that is well-established in West Yorkshire, and it can also be something fun that you fly in the sky. The name lends itself well to further naming of the two wards at the unit, as well as a theme for the internal artwork, so Board members felt this name would appeal to young people across different ages. In line with our Arts Strategy, our hopes are; We would like to invite artists from across the West Yorkshire region to submit work to be installed within the Red Kite View gallery space. Artists will be paid £250 per selected artwork. | 2021-11-08 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | curatorspcae | |
| THE LAND IS CHANGING Open Call | The dialogue around our Buy The Kilo shop and gallery is environmental issues. Whether it is climate change, pollution, industry, health, food customers engage their thoughts while shopping. In our Gallery we exhibit a visual presence to inspire more conversations. As a plastic activist through my art and the shop, I am very passionate about the subject and try and get as much information out through conversation to encourage our audience to engage and partake. Since launching in 2019, we have shown several artists work in our space. Each artist has a keen interest in the environment and the problems that single-use plastic can cause. Artists include Jackie Sewell, co-founder, Ali Elly, Alice Bradshaw, Nerissa Cargill Thompson, Tim Pugh and Di McGhee. In 2021 our programme of artists, highlighted the issues of plastic and the detrimental effect it has had in our seas and rivers. We are now looking for artists who are working on what is happening on the land and the environment where they live. It can be photography, paint, sculpture, written word, textiles. Sadly, we have no facilities for video, audio or light submissions. The chosen Artists will exhibit for a month, with the opportunity to sell, paying 30% commission to the shop. The artist is responsible for getting their work to and from the shop when it is their time to exhibit. They can post it and I will hang as instructed. They can exhibit two pieces of work no larger than 120cm square or several smaller pieces to fit into that size. Artists must have their own Artist insurance. | 2021-11-30 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | curatorspcae | |

| Leeds based musicians for experimental sound workshop! | Do you play/create music and find yourself going back to the same rhythms and sounds? Are you looking to shake things up? Come and join me for a visually immersive experimental sound session with people from randomly different styles and genres. The focus is on play, experimentation and collaboration between people from various backgrounds, musical heritage and level of skill in a space that is transformed with projections. The only requirement for participating is that you are based in Leeds and have a reasonable command of an instrument or your voice and an open mind. I'd love to bring together a really diverse group, from a sitar to a synth and everything around it and in between. It's a chance for anyone interested in sound and music-making to engage in a new and experimental way whilst in a safe space, to take new things away with you and grow in what you do. Who am I? I'm an artist working with glass, sound, video and programming. I'm based at Patrick Studios in Leeds. I've worked collaboratively a lot, especially since 2015, creating large immersive glass/video installations. From there I started to explore sound using my glass sculptures. I've found that working collaboratively can really draw things out that are much harder to achieve when you practice alone. That is why I want to set up these sessions, to play with people coming at it from many different angles. Who is this for? When? Monday 29th November 2021: 6pm - 9pm, we'll be playing approx. 90 min What's involved? With a group of approx. 6 people we'll get together in a space transformed through light and projections. We'll be playing together using various simple exercises and patterns, imagine an experimental jam session. This isn't so much about trying to make a particular sound, this is about experimenting, playing and collaborating with people across styles and genres, learning from each other. What's the cost? This session has been funded by Leeds Inspired and so is currently free to you. How do I apply? Add your submission with a link, a description or a short video of what you do (so I can make sure we have a really diverse group) through CuratorSpace. Closing of applications: Monday 8th November 2021 - midnight What happens next? Places are limited so after closing of applications I will confirm your place. If you weren™t successful for this session you™ll have the option of remaining on the list to be notified of future sessions before they are advertised. | 2021-11-08 00:00:00 | United Kingdom | curatorspcae | |
| ORBIT: Open Call for Interviews w/ Behind The Scenes Creatives | ORBIT is hosting an online interview series! Every now and again we'll publish an 'interview' we've had with artists, where we have an ongoing conversation about their work through a series of emails, and we're looking for more artists/creatives to get involved! SO I am inherently nosy, and my favourite part of hosting these weekly residencies is really being able to get such a deep insight into artists practises, the techniques they use and how they got to that point, and so on. In a new branch of ORBIT, I want to shift the focus from the artists over to the people ~behind the scenes~ " people who curate exhibitions, run galleries, manage spaces, host podcasts and workshops, create/distribute zines etc. alongside (or in place of) their creative practise. I really want to understand how and why people have started these creative projects, to highlight the amount of work that goes into running these kinds of endeavours and what they hope to gain from it, and so on. I want to talk about the parts of the art world that isn™t actually the art and to allow people an insight into all the different creative paths you can take! If you™d like to be considered for an interview (which will happen as a back-and-forth email chain before being published on the ORBIT website), please send us information about yourself, a brief overview about whatever project you™d like to talk about, and all the relevant contact details and links. Interviews will be taking place as an ongoing conversation via email, so please make sure to include your current email address. This isn™t really an open call as such, maybe just more of a way of seeing who™d be interested and figuring out the logistics of it. Interviews will most likely be published once a week, so please get in touch cos I™d love to have a bit of a natter! | n/a | United Kingdom | curatorspcae | |

The artist(s), in consultation with the Project Team, will design, produce and install an artwork, which explores the heritage of the Pleasure Grounds and in particular, highlights the diversity of responses to this very special landscape. The ˜Durlston Pleasure Grounds™ Project is a partnership, led by Dorset Council to enhance the Victorian landscape at Durlston for nature, history and people, which will be completed by August 2022. Volunteers are working with Rangers, artists and specialists to create a landscape which is welcoming, accessible, inspiring, educational, surprising, playable and sustainable. The Victorian landscape and features are being enhanced to realise George Burt's vision for people to ˜Look round and read great nature's open book™. Habitats are being enhanced for wildlife and people, while maintaining the tranquillity of the area. Opportunities for play, discovery and creativity are being enhanced, along with a base for training, volunteering and community events. The project will help Durlston become the best place in Dorset for people with disabilities and reduced mobility to enjoy wildlife and the countryside. The legacy will include a skilled and expanded staff and volunteer group supporting the management of the area, creating a landscape which can evolve to meet the needs of visitors and local people. Aims of Commission: The artist(s), in consultation with the Project Team, will design, produce and install an artwork, which explores the heritage of the Pleasure Grounds and in particular, the diversity of responses to this very special landscape. The work should help tell the story of the Pleasure Grounds through a variety of responses to it, from the Victorian period to the present, creating an artwork which will enrich the experience of visitors walking around the site and encourage them to consider their relationship with the landscape. This could include philosophical, scientific or aesthetic responses or provocations. These could be incorporated into planned or existing features, enhancing the important historic and natural landscape. The artwork should be presented in a low-impact or possibly transient way, in a variety of media. This could include short pieces of found text or sound recordings. The artwork could be distributed throughout the landscape, be at one location, or exist in a digital or other intangible form. The commission could include the collection of new material to be included eg. interviews or workshops with users or visitors.

Item Commission Notes The commission should use artistic interventions in the landscape to provoke curiosity, exploration and to explore the range of responses to the Pleasure Grounds from the Victorian period to the present, including scientific, historical, philosophical and personal responses. These should inspire visitors to contemplate it's diverse historic, natural and personal heritage and consider their own response. George Burt's estate was filled with locally quarried stones containing letter carvings with verses from poetry, scientific observations and literary quotes. In the same way that Burt built an intriguing and thought-provoking environment, we would like the new artwork to explore the personal responses of a variety people to the landscape and enrich the experience of visitors. The work might include short pieces of text. This could draw on resources including the Durlston historic archive, the Ranger's Diaries and the words and recollections of Durlston visitors and volunteers It is envisaged that the work would be predominantly ˜light-touch™, though perhaps with some bolder elements, distributed at a variety of locations throughout the Pleasure Grounds and may include elements incorporated into other features. The artists will work closely with the Project Team to ensure the work fits harmoniously with other design elements. The artists should provide concept illustrations / images of the proposed design and reasonings Groundworks Durlston can provide some limited in-house support to ensure that the area where the proposed commission is appropriate and ready for the installation. The commission will form part of a wider programme of landscape works. Materials Choice of material and fixings should ensure that the artwork is low maintenance and have a long lifespan in a harsh, coastal environment All equipment must be guaranteed.

| ORBIT: Open Call for Text Submissions | ORBIT is looking for various written/text submissions to be published online on a weekly basis! One of the new ways ORBIT is looking to support & engage with artists is through publishing pieces of writing on our website! I™ve noticed a lot throughout doing these residencies that a lot of artists are writing a lot of essays or general think pieces as part of their practise, or are also writing exhibition reviews and articles, and this is something that ORBIT really wants to try and highlight/encourage! (This came out of an idea I was having of creating an ORBIT zine to distribute around, but due to the current situation, tangibility is out the question) To apply, please send us a copy of the piece of writing you™d like to be published (in a PDF please) (no max. word count as of yet, but nothing ~too~ extensive please), along with general contact details, social media links, and any other information you think is relevant to your application. We are accepting pretty much every form of writing, whether it's a personal piece or an essay or a review, I™ll take it all! There's no guidelines or specific requirements at the moment and pieces will be published online once a week. This is operating on a trial basis (hopefully permanent), but if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch!

| Crossing Divides, A Pilot Grantmaking Program | Kindle ProjectandCotyledon Fundare proud to introduceCrossing Divides, a pilot grantmaking program for grassroots groups in Arizona, Mississippi, and Nebraska who are attempting to resolve conflicts in their communities, across aisles and despite differences. Thiscall for proposalsfrom non-profit or fiscally sponsored organizations is open now until December 1st, 2021.If you know of a group who might be interested in applying, please pass this along to them! We are excited to learn how different people are tackling conflict at the community level, and enthusiastic to support their work at a moment when crossing divides is more urgent than ever.Crossing Divideswill give grants of $10,000 to non-profits or fiscally sponsored groups who are addressing conflict through person-to-person interaction. We will consider applicants experimenting with a diverse range of approaches, such as local media that cultivates different voices, artists and culture-makers who bring together people in conflict to co-create, restorative justice and non-violent communication practices, trauma healing, non-proselytizing spiritual work, groups working the land as a way to unite, or those sharing food to bring disparate sides literally to the table. But our goal is to learn what communities are doing, so we are open to any effective practices.At a time when Americans are increasingly divided and distrustful of one another, this new grant program seeks to support groups who are striving to bridge social chasms and dislodge the cultural wedges driven by media, misinformation, political partisanship, and other polarizing forces fracturing communities across this country. Through this pilot, we hope to understand how diverse groups are finding ways to work together and build trust. We believe these lessons are essential to show us how, as a society, we can become better equipped to face and transform crises.To learn more, visitwww.kindleproject.org/crossingdivides. | December 1, 2021 | United States | azarts | |

| Call to Poets | Celebrating the Caesars and Ancient Rome | Call to Poets: Celebrating the Caesars and Ancient RomeDeadline November 1, 2021Pop Goes the Classroom is pleased to announce a collaboration with artist Marek Danielewski and FourStrokeStudio to promote critical thinking and celebrate the Caesars as artistic inspiration.Over the years, ancient Rome has been a popular topic for film and television. Spartacus (STARZ), Rome (HBO), Britannia and Domina (EPIX) have brought ancient ROME into contemporary popular culture. As with all media, their depictions vary in their level of accuracy.We are seeking poetry submissions that reflect the personhood of the great Caesars in a manner that can connect the contemporary audience to the historical figures in a manner consistent with Danielewski's multimedia approach to the topic as seen below in his artist's statement.Artist Statement:When I see Roman Art, I immediately think of fancy banquets and the excess in all forms. The American vision of self is that of Ancient Rome. Where for the French, Brutus is the hero of the Republic, so as for Americans it is Caesar who resides as the pinnacle of the Empire. The American public including writers like Gore Vidal have been for the longest time referencing America's link, similarities and growth toward the Roman Empire. While Hollywood puts out a steady dose of sword and sandal epics for the viewing public to make the same association. In my work I feel I am showing this link in a contemporary media. By engaging the iconic image of the Caesar I feel I am showing the degradation, the excess that is America and the Roman Empire.We look forward to a rich diversity of submissions from practicing poets, students and hobbyists.Images of Danielewski's Caesar's Series can be found at marek79.weebly.com and Instagram @fourstrokestudio. We are seeking original works only. Simultaneous submissions will be accepted, but the poet must notify us as soon as possible if the work is accepted elsewhere. It is free to submit, and multiple poems may be submitted. | November 1, 2021 | United States | azarts | |

| RFP: Tarpon Springs Black Heritage Project | The City of Tarpon Springs is unique in many ways. The origins and settlement of the city were made by three symbiotic groups: the sponge hookers who came north to Tarpon Springs from the Bahamas and the Florida Keys; the Greeks who came from the Dodecanese Islands with their innovative diving suits and helmets that revolutionized the sponging industry and the crackers, the cowboys of Florida who brought cattle, orchards and farming to the area. The black sponge hookers and the immigrant Greeks supported each other's efforts. Many of the black sponge hookers learned Greek to facilitate their working alongside the helmeted Greek spongers. Descendants of these groups still inhabit Tarpon Springs to this day. This unique fellowship has not been recognized in public art. The purpose of this project is to represent this unique relationship in art. The project is envisioned at being located at two places: the Sponge Docks and the Union Academy neighborhood. | 10/29/2021 | United States | Codaworx | |
