AWARDS
The Wellcome Trust Arts Awards, London, UK
The
Wellcome Trust believes the arts are an effective way of stimulating
debate and engaging people with biomedical science. Visual art,
music, moving image, creative writing and performance can reach new
audiences which may not traditionally be interested in science and
provide new ways of thinking about the social, cultural and ethical
issues around contemporary science. Collaborative and
interdisciplinary practice across the arts and sciences can help to
provide new perspectives on both fields. The arts can also provide
imaginative ways of engaging and educating young people in the field
of science.
The Arts Awards support projects that engage the
public with biomedical science through the arts. The scheme aims to:
- stimulate interest, excitement and debate about biomedical
science through the arts
- examine the social, cultural, and ethical impact of biomedical
science
- support formal and informal learning
- encourage new ways of thinking
- encourage high quality interdisciplinary practice and
collaborative partnerships in arts, science and/or education
practice.
Funding can be applied for at two levels:
Small to medium sized projects (up to and including £30
000)
Funding can either be used to support the development of
new project ideas, deliver small-scale productions or workshops,
investigate and experiment with new methods of engagement through
the arts, or develop new collaborative relationships between artists
and scientists.
Large projects (above £30
000)
This funding can be used to fund full or part production
costs for large-scale arts projects that aim to have significant
impact on the public's engagement with biomedical science. We are
also interested in supporting high-quality, multi-audience, multi-
outcome projects. Applicants can apply for any amount within the
above boundaries, for projects lasting a maximum of three years.
Who can apply?
Applicants must be based in the UK
or the Republic of Ireland and the activity must take place in the
UK or Republic of Ireland. Applicants are usually affiliated to
organisations, but can apply as individuals.
The scheme is
open to a wide range of people including, among others, artists,
scientists, curators, filmmakers, writers, producers, directors,
academics, science communicators, teachers, arts workers and
education officers.

Deadline : 7th May,

About
dis-locate
A mesh of infinite connections engulfs the
very point at which we stand, longitude and latitude weave in and
out, an entanglement in which our coordinates constantly shift and
each footstep is one of endless displacement. Fibres of technology
cocoon us in indeterminate spaces, layer our realities and transport
us to elsewhere.
Enveloped in our personal technologies, we
are able to escape the limitations of our surroundings, but when we
emerge from our enclosure do we know where we are? 2006 saw the
launch of Dislocate a project exploring the relationship between
art, technology and our locality.
This year the events will
focus on our ability to reconnect with our location, seeking to
explore, question and debate how can technology be used to heighten
our engagement with our surroundings instead of isolating us from
our immediate space. When numerous places converge in one site, how
do we navigate such space? How does our interaction within a given
space formulate identity and how can this be communicated
effectively to elsewhere?
Dislocate aims to explore the
potential new media has to increase our awareness of our
environment, enhance participation in our locality and community and
transform our perceptions of the space we inhabit.
Does new
media enable us to plug into our locality, or is disconnection
inevitable?
As mobile and wireless technologies increasingly
enable us to transcend space, our electrical roots are dug up, but
are the roots which bind us with a place also cut?
Dislocate
will call into question the necessity of an intermediary to our
immediate surroundings, asking if mediation is a means of connecting
or distancing, an expansion or an obstruction?
Dislocate
offers the space to investigate the creative and social potential of
new media to engage us with our direct locality and to ask what is
the importance of where we are
now?

Taking place over two sites, of
contrasting locality, this exhibition aims to present a particular
relationship to its surroundings, revealing new perspectives of our
immediate space, engaging with and investigating this site while
also fusing with spaces beyond.
Works will
include:
Installation, image, video, audio, performance,
locative, mobile, interactive and web-based media and
more
Dislocate is particularly interested in presenting works
which extend beyond the gallery space.
Symposium
Dislocate presents an international
symposium with confirmed delegates from UK, Germany, Republic of
Korea, Indonesia and Japan further contributing to the discourse
surrounding the interplay of art, technology and
location.
Artists and researchers will have the opportunity to
present their recent projects but will be encouraged to relate this
to a wider context and engage in a critical debate, relating their
own perspectives on these issues.
Discussion and dialogue
between all participants, both speakers and audience is key to this
event.
This symposium aims to explore what is meant by
“locality“, how does new media impact upon our notion of space, our
interaction with our surroundings, and how this can be used to
transform communities, both virtual and physical.
The conflicts
and integrations which emerge as separate spaces collide in one site
will be examined raising concerns of homogenization and de-
contextualisation alongside the awareness of local identity and
culture.
This will include a scrutinization of sensitive,
meaningful exchange between different localities facilitated through
new media and the manifestations which reconnection or further
connection with our environment can
take.
Workshops
In a series of workshops to be held
through these events artists will have the opportunity to present
concepts and products to the public and investigate with them in an
active form of research and collaboration.
The focus of these
workshops will be upon the exploration of the surrounding
environment, investigating its many layers and connections with
other spaces. Workshops will enable direct participation and
engagement with the locality and may also draw attention to our
simultaneous interaction with elsewhere.
