PRAKSIS Residency, ‘Bricking It: An Urgent Situation 2024’ (Indonesia)

On the Move — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Traditional Indonesian brick is unfired and requires no mortar: water and friction alone fuse the bricks together, creating structures that demonstrate remarkable flexibility and resilience. Because of this, many of Indonesia’s historic brick structures – the Wringin Lawang gate, the Pari Temple, and others – have withstood earthquakes for more than six centuries. In contrast, newer Indonesian buildings made from modern, Western-style brick and mortar have proved catastrophically less resistant to seismic disturbance.

PRAKSIS Residency 26, Bricking It: An Urgent Situation 2024 will draw on Indonesian vernacular knowledge to explore the technology, history, aesthetics and potentials of traditional brick as a sustainable medium. It will take place from 1-30 April 2024 at Samong Haven, a culture and learning centre under development in Sumberkima, north-west Bali. Residency participants will spend a month developing hands-on skills, building background knowledge and testing new concepts using traditional Indonesian brick, and applications are welcomed from any maker or researcher with related art, design, craft or industry knowledge and experience. Specialist input into the residency comes from Indonesian architect Andy Rahman and senior researchers Professor Totok Noerwasito and Dr. I Nyoman Gede Maha Putra, who will make visits to conduct soil testing, lead brickmaking workshops and supervise an actual, small-scale, construction project.

Co-ordinating the residency are An Urgent Situation project initiators PRAKSIS and Oslo-based architect Don Lawrence. This is the fourth episode within the overarching An Urgent Situation residency series, a long-term PRAKSIS project focusing on learning from local Indonesian vernacular technology, design, society and culture to address the impact of tourism on people and the environment.

In addition to a facilitated programme, residents will receive:

Accommodation - this may involve sharing a twin room with one other person.
Three meals a day provided on site - residents can choose to eat elsewhere at their own cost.
A stipend of 5000 NOK (~425 EUR) towards travel and other costs.
Travel from and to the airport to Sumberkima by group shuttle bus.

Deadline: 4 January 2024

It can be a photograph or video, painting, 3D works, media art, literary work such as poem, novel or play, or musical work.

Site-specific works created during the residency will be burned (or dismantled if they cannot be burned) in the same manner as traditional TORIGOYA during the ‘Dondoyaki’ on 8 January.

100,000 yen (~635 EUR) will be provided as a provisional payment upon arrival in Hirono for various activities during the stay. The committee will cover the actual cost of materials, tools and for production up to 100,000 yen (~635 EUR). The cost of transportation from the artist’s current address to Hirono Town will be paid up to 100,000 yen (~635 EUR). Two round trips within this amount are acceptable. Accommodation is provided.

ICA Yerevan: ‘Earth and Song’ Residency for Ceramic Artists (Armenia)

On the Move — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 04:30:00 +0000

‘Earth and Song’ is a community development project implemented by the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA Yerevan) in Vardablur village (Lori province, Armenia). The project aims to revitalise community life through artistic activities rooted in the cultural tradition of the village: the craft of pottery, and the musical heritage of Komitas. The project was piloted in 2021 with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office International Relief Fund. As a result, twelve young villagers were trained by prominent ceramicists and made in situ artistic interventions, like installing ceramic mailboxes and replacing missing roof tiles with decorative tiles they created. A community choir performing Komitas’ heritage was also formed and trained by an invited conductor. To foster this process of transformation through art, ICA is implementing a fully funded art residency programme in Vardablur for ceramic artists to create, learn, research, and share experiences within this authentic creative hub.

The residency will consist of two months of intensive artistic exchange: 1-2 weeks in Yerevan, comprising an orientation meeting and an introduction to the Armenian art scene, followed by 6-7 weeks of creative work in a fully equipped ceramic studio in Vardablur. A final project will be implemented in the Vardablur community, and possibly at ICA’s premises in Yerevan. ICA provides a flexible framework and mentorship, while not limiting the artistic process. An essential part of the art residency is the cooperation with the local pottery artists and students for workshops (at least 2), and implementation of small-scale joint projects (at least 1), such as public art installations or exhibitions.

Applicants are required to have relevant training and experience in the field of pottery/ceramics, as well as experience of working in community art projects. Applicants must also be legally residing in one of the 40 Creative Europe countries, except Armenia.

The organisers provide a travel allowance of €350 or €700 (depending on the distance), a daily stipend of 25€, and accommodation, as well as studio facilities.

Deadline: 1 October 2023

The call is for professionals from Armenia, Georgia, and those who migrated to Germany, Armenia, and Georgia due to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and political repressions in Belarus.

The programme offers lectures, presentations and discussions on digital technologies and trends, such as AI, VR, Metaverse and Blockchain, and their use and impact on art and culture.

The online programme (September – October) will be dedicated to digital art production, as well as its representation and promotion in virtual platforms and digital spaces. With the support of qualified mentors, participants will develop their own digital project prototypes and will be offered the opportunity to present them at the exhibition in Yerevan (10-12 November 2023).

Exchange and group work, on cultural and social practices of decolonising, will play a core role in the programme. The experiences of the project will be documented in the form of a zine, which will include essays, interviews, mind maps, and other materials produced during the project.

Geumgang Nature Art Biennale: Open Call, 'Shelter in the Forest' (South Korea)

On the Move — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 11:38:16 +0000

The 11th Geumgang Nature Art Biennale will be a venue for exchange among nature artists around the world, introducing new encounters with nature alongside art.

The 2023-2024 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale aims to create a new discourse on ‘Nature Art’, and calls for artworks under the theme of ‘Shelter in the Forest II’.

The ‘Shelter in the Forest’ exhibition is a project in which nature artists create shelters on the forest of Yeonmisan Mountain. The first shelter project was held in 2018 and exhibited shelter works by 25 artists/teams from 16 countries. Some works are still available through the permanent exhibition at Yeonmisan Nature Art Park. Today, as attention of people around the world is focused on global change and environmental pollution continues to rise, discussions on nature and ecology have become more important. The Korean Nature Artist’s Association-YATOO, which has been pursuing the aesthetics of coexistence between nature and humans since its founding in 1981, wants to present the 2024 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale - ‘Shelter in the Forest II’ exhibition to present nature art in a broader range and explore the relationship among ‘Nature-Art-Human’. This exhibition, realised by the artistic imagination of nature artists, will serve as an artistic shelter that protects against the tempestuous rain and wind of the reality of today.

Artists are invited to submit model drawings for an exhibition from 26 August – 15 October 2023. A number of projects will then be selected for production at the 2024 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale.

The final selected artists will receive an artist fee of 3 million KRW (~2100 EUR), and a roundtrip ticket to the Biennale, with food and accommodation covered.

Deadline: 31 July 2023

On the Move — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 10:43:09 +0000

Tokyo Festival Farm Asian Performing Arts Camp is a programme for performing arts practitioners working in various parts of Asia. Using their own personal themes and concerns as starting points, the participants conduct research and fieldwork, hold discussions with people from different countries and cultures, and participate in lectures and workshops. Through this process, the Camp aims to help artists cultivate thoughts and ideas together, and to explore future possibilities for their own practices and fields.

The 2023 edition of the Camp will adopt a hybrid format, combining online activities with a stay in Tokyo lasting around one week. The final day will feature a presentation session that is open to the public, where participants can share what they have gained and exchange thoughts with the audience and guests, thus fostering their own artistic growth.

Activities run from 21 July – 17 October 2023. If you are a creative based in Asia (aged 35 or younger) who plays an integral role in performing arts productions, whether as director, choreographer, playwright, dramaturg, producer or other, you are encouraged you to apply for this programme.

Among other forms of support, for the stay in Tokyo the programme provides a per diem, accommodation, and round-trip flight tickets.

Deadline: 20 June 2023
