Call for artist / Sharjah Art Foundation

Sharjah Art Foundation announces the 2014 Production Programme Open Call for grants to artists working in a range of media. Up to $200,000 is available in this application cycle.

The Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF) Production Programme broadens the possibilities for the production of art in the MENASA region through a commitment to support innovation and excellence in artistic practice by encouraging risk and experimentation. This commitment places artists at the core of the Foundation’s mission by offering grants and professional support for the realisation of projects selected from an open call for proposals.

The past decade has seen an extraordinary rise in artistic activity throughout the Middle East, resulting in an increased visibility for artists both regionally and internationally. Within this context, the Foundation hopes to promote and encourage an environment of public and private patronage for the highest level of artistic endeavour. This programme focuses on supporting artists in their individual attempts to create work on a scale they have perhaps never imagined possible.

Arts practitioners are invited to propose imaginative, ambitious and inspirational projects that will transform our understanding of what art is and how it can be experienced. With this initiative we hope to engage and challenge the artists, our audiences and ourselves aesthetically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, politically or in ways new and unexpected.

In 2014 we are offering production grants to artists working in a range of media including sculpture, installation, time-based media, artist’s books and performance. Up to a total of $200,000 is available in this application cycle. The success of a proposal will be determined by merit rather than budget. To this end, projects with budgets that range from modest to ambitious scales will be considered. The submission deadline is 31 January 2014 and selections will be announced in March. The selected projects will be developed and produced by the artist and the Sharjah Art Foundation, with presentation of the completed project as agreed between the artist(s) and SAF.

The Production Programme was launched in 2008. Over 500 submissions have been received, 230 applications considered and 31 projects selected for production.

K-HOLE art space. Call 4 proposals.

Kaninchen-Haus ha da poco aperto a Torino, nel cuore del quadrilatero, un nuovo spazio espositivo indipendente, il K-HOLE di via Sant’Agostino.

Si tratta di un locale di oltre 360 mq, dislocato su tre piani, di grande fascino architettonico.

Potete visionario dalla pagina http://kaninchenhaus.org/k-hole

Oltre che utilizzarlo per la nostra programmazione dedicata all’arte contemporanea, vorremmo fare di questo spazio un nuovo polo di aggregazione dedicato alla cultura e agli artisti.

Intendiamo dare vita a un centro di condivisione e co-progettazione da mettere a disposizione di altre associazioni e di tutte le realtà eccellenti che operano nel nostro territorio ma che siano prive di uno spazio rappresentativo, come pure di organizzazioni non torinesi interessate ad avere una vetrina, prestigiosa ma indipendente, nella nostra città.

Oltre alla possibilità di lavorare sulle attività espositive, saremmo felici di ospitare eventi legati alla musica, al teatro, alla danza, a ogni forma di cultura, nonché mettere in piedi una programmazione di corsi, incontri, workshop.

Siamo a disposizione per un scambio di idee e per leggere le vostre proposte che potete inviare compilando il modulo alla paginahttp://www.kaninchenhaus.org/k-hole-call-4-proposals/

Kaninchen-Haus has recently opened a new, independent exhibition space in Turin, in the heart of the Quadrilatero on via Sant’Agostino: the K-HOLE.

The space is over 360 mq on three levels and is of great architectural charm. You can view the space on the webpage http://kaninchenhaus.org/k-hole

Apart from using the space for our contemporary art programme, we would like for this space to become a meeting point for artists and cultural events. Our aim is to create a centre for sharing and co-production, which we will open up to other associations and exceptional entities who operate within the region but lack a base, as well as organizations outside Turin which are interested in having a prestigious but independent showcase in the city.

Besides providing exhibition space, we want to host other related cultural events (music, theatre, dance, performance, etc.) and also to formulate a series of courses, seminars and workshops. We are open to brainstorming together with you to flesh out any ideas that you may have.

We are currently accepting proposals for the upcoming year. Please send your proposals using the form at the page http://www.kaninchenhaus.org/k-hole-call-4-proposals/
