Channel 4 British Documentary Film Foundation - BRITDOCART
Deadline : 30th November 2006.
*UK/UK-based artists


BRITDOCART is a new fund launched by the Channel 4 British Documentary Film Foundation and supported by the Institute of Contemporary Arts and Arts Council England. The fund is aimed at established artists interested in making documentaries.

BRITDOCART is open to artists from any field, be it visual, video, performance, or installation art. The selection panel - consisting of Julie Lomax (Arts Council England), Katie Purnell (The Channel 4 British Documentary Film Foundation) and Ekow Eshun (ICA) - will look at ideas, in documentary form, shot on any format. Be it an observational film, or a personal polemic, BRITDOCART aims to encourage the artist to experiment and engage with documentary film and the documentary form, bringing their unique approach to the genre. BRITDOCART will facilitate a collection of films which inspire and invite audiences to question the role of documentary as art.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

  • Applications from artists established in their own field (we would prefer artists who have had at least one solo exhibition in the UK) - we may ask to see your previous work if you are shortlisted
  • Ideas for documentary films between 3 and 30 minutes long, to be shot on any format

GRANTS
The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant
Deadline : September 18, 2006.


Initiated by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and administered by Creative Capital, The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant is a three-year pilot program designed to support critical writing on contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. Through awards for books, articles, and work in new and alternative media, The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant aims to honor and encourage:
  • Writing about art that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent, and precise
  • Writing about art in which a keen engagement with the present is infused with an appreciation of the historical
  • Writing about art that is neither afraid to take a stand, nor content to deliver authoritative pronouncements, but seeks rather to pose questions and generate new possibilities for thinking, seeing, and making
  • Writing about art that is sensitive to both the importance and difficulty of situating aesthetic objects within their broader social and political contexts
  • Writing about art that does not dilute or sidestep complex ideas but renders accessible their meaning and value
  • Writing about art that challenges creatively the limits of existing conventions, without valorizing novelty as an end in itself.
Approximately twenty grants will be awarded per annual cycle, ranging from $3,000–$50,000. Art historians, artists, critics, curators, journalists, and practitioners from other fields that engage contemporary visual art and culture are welcome to apply.

The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant will open for on-line submissions on August 14, 2006.

PUBLICATION
Cabinet - Artist-designed postage stamps for Publication
Deadline : December 1, 2006
*NYC-based emerging artists only


Cabinet magazine is currently accepting proposals for artist-designed postage stamps to be included in a book coming out in the fall of 2007. Each of the 15 artists included in the book will design a full sheet of perforated, full-color adhesive stamps (which will, of course, not be valid for mailing!). Each sheet will accommodate between 40 and 60 stamps, and the design of each stamp can be different.

The project is funded through The Greenwall Foundation’s Oscar M. Ruebhausen Commission. The Foundation’s arts program focuses on the creation of new work and emerging artists in the NYC area. In keeping with the Foundation's guidelines, approximately half the artists represented in the book will be emerging artists based in New York City (from any of the five boroughs). A panel will select the emerging artists from among proposals responding to this call. The remaining artists in the book will be commissioned directly by the panel.

Proposals from NYC-based emerging artists must be received at the Cabinet office by December 1, 2006, and should include:
  • a statement about your intended project (500 words max).
  • 3-4 supporting sketches and images of the proposed project (in color or b/w).
  • 3-4 images from past projects that you’d like the panel to know about (these need not be related to the stamp project). Each can have an explanatory caption, if needed.
  • a CV.
Please send all proposals to Cabinet magazine, 55 Washington Street, # 327, Brooklyn, NY 11201. All material must be printed out. We cannot mail things back; please do not include any slides or original materials.

Selected artists will be notified by January 15 and the finalized projects are due on May 1, 2007. All included artists will receive an honorarium.

Digital Performance Institute Artist Residency Program, New York, NY

Gertrude Stein Repertory Theatre (GSRT)’s mission supports technological innovation in the performing arts. Following that focus, GSRT’s Digital Performance Institute (DPI) encourages arts experimentation & the thoughtful use of emerging technology & media tools. GSRT is performance oriented, but DPI exists as a think-tank for experimentation beyond discipline boundaries. To this end, we are pleased to announce an open call for applications to the DPI Artist Residency Program, which will provide artists with free access to rehearsal & meeting space, equipment, and media creation facilities. The residency also offers opportunities for pubic showings and consultation from other media artists.

Through our artist residency program, DPI aims to provide a context for working in experimental ways with new media. The residency program is not focused on the creation of full productions, but on experimentation. By providing artists with more time to develop the media component of their work, we hope to encourage a greater dialogue about the intersection of technology and performance. A key component of the residency program is that artists share their discoveries with their peers through public Open Labs and on DigitalPerformance.org.
