COMMISSION
Great North Run Moving Image Commission, 2006,
Sunderland, UK
Deadline : June 25th, 2006
2ND FILM AND VIDEO COMMISSION ANNOUNCED TO
CELEBREATE THE ANNUAL GREAT NORTH RUN
Following the hugely successful launch of the Great
North Run Moving Image Commission in 2005, we are
delighted to announce the second year of this major
film and video commission. The Great North Run
Moving Image Commission offers £30,000 to an
experienced artist or film-maker and the chance to
create a major new work, which captures the spirit of
the participants, audience and atmosphere of one of
the world's top sporting events.
The film will be launched in the North East in
September 2007, with an extract screened on the
BBC as part of their live coverage of the Great North
Run. It will also potentially tour to venues across the
country.
The commission is open to artists with at least three
years post-graduation experience of creative film and
video work. Expressions of interest should contain a
brief statement of how they would approach this
commission, a short piece of information about their
work, a CV and supporting material.
The selection panel, which includes Turner Prize
nominee Mark Wallinger, Dave Gordon, Head of
Special Events at BBC Sport, and Olympic medallist
and BBC Sport's commentator Brendan Foster, will
shortlist three people to develop their ideas into full
proposals. The successful applicant will be chosen
from these three and announced in September 2006,
during the run up to this year's BUPA Great North Run.

Project Brief
COMPETITION
The Jerwood Drawing Prize, London, UK
Deadline : 26th June 2006
The aim of the exhibition is to promote and reward
talent and excellence in contemporary drawing.
The exhibition is currently open to entry by all
artists resident or domiciled in the United
Kingdom. Every year, the changing panel of
distinguished artists, writers, critics, collectors and
curators select the show independently and without
knowledge of the artists submitting; they define their
own priorities for an exhibition of current drawing
practice. This fashions a constantly shifting set of
values and concerns, evidenced in the resulting
touring exhibitions, in which fundamental questions
are asked about what drawing is: its purpose, value,
relevance and nature.

EXHIBITIONS
INTERFACE and SOCIETY a project by Atelier
Nord, Oslo, Norway
DEADLINE 1st July 2006.
Atelier Nord is looking for artworks/installations
concerning the transformation of our everyday live
through electronic interfaces.
exhibition dates - Nov.10th - Nov.19th 2006 at
Henie Onstad Kunstsenter Oslo Norway.
INTERFACE and SOCIETY
In our everyday life we constantly have to cope more
or less successfully with interfaces. We use the
mobile phone, the mp3 player, and our laptop, in
order to gain access to the digital part of our life. In
recent years this situation has lead to the creation of
new interdisciplinary subjects like "Interaction Design"
or "Physical Computing". We live between two worlds,
our physical environment and the digital space.
Technology and its digital space are our second
nature and the interfaces are our points of access to
this
technosphere. Since artists started working with
technology they have been developing interfaces and
modes of interaction. The interface itself became an
artistic thematic.
The project INTERFACE and SOCIETY investigates
how artists deal with the transformation of our
everyday life through technical interfaces. With the
rapid technological development a thoroughly critique
of the interface towards society is necessary. The
role of the artist is thereby crucial. S/he has the
freedom to deal with technologies and interfaces
beyond functionality and usability. The project
INTERFACE and SOCIETY is looking at this
development with a special focus on the artistic
contribution.

but not limited to: sketches, slides, video, CD or DVD.
Please be clear about what, if any, multi-media
equipment your work requires. OPENSOURCE Art has a
limited budget for installation and exhibition expenses
therefore will not be able to admit art that is
expensive or excessively difficult to install, no matter
how much we'd like to. Supporting materials (vita,
portfolio, statement) are not necessary, but would be
helpful.

The show will be juried by a committee drawn from
the members of OPENSOURCE Art. Any work
submitted by members (or family members) of the
committee will be voted on by the full OPENSOURCE
membership with interested parties recusing
themselves. Specific works are likely to be solicited
from individual artists, and some flexibility may be
exercised for these entries with regard to scheduling.

RESIDENCY
artLAB_San Servolo artist residency, Venice,
Italy
Deadline : 25 June
Venice, August 7th-31st, 2006
atLAB San servolo artist residency takes place on the
Island of San servolo in Venice during the month of
August.
artLAB_San Servolo artist residency is a residency
programme that takes place on the Island of San
Servolo in Venice during the month of August, open
to 10 visual artists from Italy and abroad who are in
the initial phase of their careers. The programme
offers participating artists room and board on the
island, studio spaces, and the budget to create an
original work.
The residency is intended to create a space for
dialogue and professional growth for emerging artists
from various geographical areas and with different
artistic approaches, enabling them to create projects
specifically in response to the experience of group
exchange. The projects are developed individually by
each artist, but the initiative is
particularly focussed on the collective experience
that runs throughout all the phases of the residency,
from discussion on the residency theme, to the
creation of the projects, to the organisation of the
final exhibition. Another fundamental aspect of the
programme is the attention given to the historical,
social, and natural context provided by the residency
location.
The works created will be shown in an exhibition that
will take place on the island in October, concurrently
with the Venice International Biennial Exhibition of
Architecture, and will be accompanied by a
catalogue.
The working language of the residency is
English.
