AWARD
Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 2007, London, UK
Deadline: 31 May 2007

The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award is now the largest sculpture prize of its kind in the UK. It is unique in its combination of offering both financial support towards the production of new work and a solo exhibition to an exceptional emerging sculptor.

Originated in 2001, The Tanner award increased to a total of £10,000 in 2005. £6,000 goes direct to the receiving artist towards the production of new work, and £4,000 funds and promotes the solo exhibition held at Standpoint Gallery the following year.

The Tanner award is a partnership project by Standpoint Gallery and the charitable trust set up in memory of the sculptor Mark Tanner, who trained at St Martins and was one of the first artists to show at Standpoint. He died in 1998 after a long illness.

Standpoint Gallery is an independent, artist run project and exhibition space with charitable status. The Tanner award forms an important constituent part of our core aims - to act as a platform for emerging artists outside the commercial gallery system, to support the diversity and vibrancy of artistic production, to promote excellence and commitment in the artist as maker, and to provide an arena for artists’ networks and professional development.

The award is aimed at emerging sculptors based in Greater London who are making ambitious, outstanding work within fine art practice, and we are particularly interested in work that demonstrates a commitment to process and material.

Initial selection is by panel, this year's guest selector is Phyllida Barlow.

Polvo Magazine, Chicago, IL
DEADLINE: April 15, 2007

It's time again for another issue of Polvo Magazine!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: This issue's theme is installation art and activism. If your work fits this or if you have an essay/art review about either subject then email us your submission: info@polvo.org

"Installation art is art that uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way we experience a particular space. Installation art is not necessarily confined to gallery spaces and can refer to any material intervention in everyday public or private spaces. Installation art incorporates almost any media to create a visceral and/or conceptual experience in a particular environment. Materials used in contemporary installation art range from everyday and natural materials to new media such as video, sound, performance, computers and the internet. Some installations are site-specific in that they are designed to only exist in the space for which they were created.

Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social or political change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of an often controversial argument. The terms activism and activist used in a political manner first appeared in the Belgian press in 1916 in connection with the Flamingant movement. The word "activism" is often used synonymously with protest or dissent, but activism can stem from any number of political orientations and take a wide range of forms, from writing letters to newspapers or politicians, political campaigning, economic activism (such as boycotts or preferentially patronizing preferred businesses), rallies and street marches, strikes, or even guerrilla tactics and hacktivism. In the more confrontational cases, an activist may be called a freedom fighter by some, and a terrorist by others, depending on whether the commentator supports the activist's ends." - from wikkipedia

PROJECT
POSTED 1, SKART, Cork, Ireland
Deadline : Sat 21 Apr 2007

POSTED 1 - an international inter-disciplinary poster project.

Cork-based artist collaboration SKART (not to be confused with the Belgrade-based organisation of the same name) invites submissions of images and texts from all artists for POSTED 1. This will be an international interdisciplinary curated poster project to be presented in 12 venues across the world and online simultaneously. The selected images/texts will be reproduced as a set of A3 posters, to be displayed in each venue for 2 weeks and then destroyed. All submissions will be placed on SKART's project website. Selection will be made by SKART with Rene Zechlin (Curator of Exhibitions, Glucksman Gallery, Cork) and Trevor Joyce (Poet, Chair of SoundEye).

This project aims to challenge the increasingly unquestioned commodification of images, writing, and public blank wall space through a temporary installation of posters that are not advertisements. The idea for this project came from a frustration with the lack of motivation among artists to engage with the public outside of the gallery/exhibition space, and how advertisers have appropriated public wall spaces.

In 1960 Paul Goodman (Compulsory Miseducation, Penguin, 1960), U.S. literary and social critic, argued that “ - when the purpose of advertising was to give information - it was useful to be able to read; when the point of advertising is to create synthetic demand, it is better not to be able to read.” Could the same be said of visual literacy? When the purpose of images is to stimulate, inspire, inform, challenge, etc. it is useful to recognise and pay attention to the images; when the point of images is purely as an advertising tool (whether for a product or the artist) would it be better to not notice or pay attention? POSTED 1 will be presented in two formats - online and as a printed exhibition. The website (www.skartpostedproject.ie - under construction) will be the hub of the entire project. It will contain:
  • information identifying each image in the printed exhibition with the artist who’s work it depicts
  • a gallery of all submissions
  • a forum to facilitate open discussion on the selections and the selection process
  • a gallery documenting each stage of the POSTED project in each host venue, with images taken by the hosts
  • links to participating and selected artists, artists groups, support organisations, gallery spaces
  • links to relevant artists’ networks and resources around the world
To submit work:
Send representation of your work as jpeg or text (maximum 3) to skartincork@gmail.com











PROPOSALS
Sunroom Project Space Program, Wave Hill, Bronx, New York
Application deadline May 11, 2007

The Visual Arts Program at Wave Hill presents the work of contemporary artists who explore, demonstrate, or otherwise reflect upon the dynamic relationship between people and nature through exhibitions in Glyndor Gallery, Sunroom Project Spaces, and generated@wavehill. Public programs with exhibiting artists also accompany the exhibitions.

Sunroom Project Space Program: is a venue for New York area emerging artists to develop a special project or new body of work to exhibit in one of the two windowed sunrooms on the ground floor of Glyndor House. Five artists will be selected for solo exhibitions in the spring and fall of 2008. Work in all media will be considered and artists are encouraged to experiment with the parameters of traditional display and exhibition formats. The selected artists will have between 6 and 12 months to develop their ideas and to create new work for the project. The installation period is two days for most slots so the project needs to be installed and de-installed quickly. A meet-the-artist gallery talk will be scheduled for each artist. The selected artists will receive an honorarium of $1,500.

Eligibility: Open to emerging artists with a record of solid achievement and potential, for whom this opportunity might contribute to professional advancement; and who are not represented by a commercial gallery, not a student, and have not previously shown at Wave Hill. Because we encourage artists to spend time at Wave Hill developing their ideas, artists should live in a 50-mile radius of the Bronx.

Interested artists are strongly encouraged to visit Wave Hill before submitting an application. Information sessions with the curator will be held on Sunday April 29 at 12:30.

Click here to download the Sunroom Project Space guidelines and proposal form.

General Opportunities: The curators identify artists to exhibit at Wave Hill in many different ways. Artists may submit their work for consideration for annual submission in the fall. Guidelines will be posted in June 2007.

Glyndor Gallery: Thematic Group or project focused exhibitions are curated for the spring, summer and fall that generally combine painting, sculpture, works on paper, installation, photography and some video. The gallery occupies three spacious rooms, and other ancillary spaces on the main floor of this Georgian Revival house. The rooms are very flexible with excellent light, but cannot be fully darkened.

generated@wavehill: Commissioning program for temporal works on the grounds artists identified by the curators.

Shimmer and Sway - Winter Installations in Wave Hill House: Alumni artists invited create installations that bring nature indoors for the holidays.
