Jurors:
Rebecca
Morse, Assistant Curator, MOCA The Museum of Contemporary
Art
Since 2001 she has flown solo on shows for
filmmaker/photographer/provocateur Larry Clark, Aaron Siskind and
Franz Klein (2001-2002), and Lee Friedlander (2002). Her biggest
endeavor was the Lucian Freud exhibit (2003). From House to Home:
Picturing Domesticity went up at MOCA's Pacific Design Center
exploring concepts of domesticity inside homes and out. MOCA at Cal
Plaza saw Public Record, a showcase of recent additions to the
museum's photography collection. Also exhibited was Mid-Century
Masterworks From the Collection, the pick of the litter from MOCA's
permanent 4,200-piece collection. Recent projects include Street
Credibility, which she co-curated with artist Mike Kelley, and Lorna
Simpson, whose 20 year survey she coordinated for MOCA. She is the
curator of the recent exhibition Bill Owens: Suburbia as well as the
forthcoming exhibition of the work of photographer Florian
Maier-Aichen for June 2007.
Gabriel Ritter, Curatorial
Assistant, MOCA The Museum of Contemporary Art
His interest in
art and technology is exemplified by his curation of "Out of the
Ordinary: New Video from Japan" concurrently screening at the Getty
Center and MOCA. This collaboration between the Getty Research
Institute and Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, combines a
survey of the early history of video art in Japan (1968-1988) with
presentations of contemporary Japanese video art. Two programs at
the Getty Center highlight a broad range of short videos, and four
programs at the MOCA's Silverscreen Theater at the Pacific Design
Center focus on individual artists and larger themes within this
rich and varied history. As part of this collaboration between MOCA
and the Getty, each venue will present portions of both programs for
a total of six nights.
Rex Bruce, Aritist, Curator, Director
LACDA Los Angeles Center for Digital Art

and Culture at the University of Sunderland as a Visiting
Lecturer. The rate is that paid for university lecturers and is
additional to the fee referred to above. Teaching (or agreed
collaboration) is arranged with Professor Eric Bainbridge, the

Art and Design, including BA (Hons) in Fine Art; Photography,

opportunity of a short-term collaboration with an artist from
another art form. £2,000 is available for a fee for the
collaborating artist. The residential nature of this post is a major
strength. The artist appointed will therefore be expected to make a
reasonable commitment to residence in Durham for the full term of

to a resolution and the fruition of these ideas. An ability to work
on their own, directing their own time and endeavours, is essential.

enthusiasm to BA, MA and Art Foundation students as a part-time
lecturer in whatever field the individual has the most to

Artist
and Writer Residency, Santa Fe Art Institute, New Mexico
Next
Deadline : 05 July, 2007
The Santa Fe Art Institute
Residency program began in response to the tragic events of
September 11, 2001. SFAI responded by initiating the Emergency
Relief Residencies, which provided respite to over 130 artists who
had been displaced from their home and studios in the aftermath of
9/11.
Due to the enormous success of this program, SFAI
established its full time Artist and Writer Residency program. The
following programs are now offered: Artist and Writer Residencies,
Writers Foundation Residencies, Witter Bynner Poetry Translator
Residencies, Balkan Artist and Writer Residencies and Emergency
Relief Residencies.
Artists who are selected for residencies
receive living and working space at SFAI, centrally located within
Santa Fe's vibrant and diverse cultural community. Resident living
and studio space is housed within the SFAI facility, a nearly 17,000
square foot complex designed by renowned Mexican architect, Ricardo
Legoretta. SFAI's complex offers gallery/exhibition spaces, sky lit
studios, a growing contemporary art library, courtyards, laundry
facilities, communal kitchen, and dining and living room areas. All
residents receive private living quarters and bath. Visual artists
have work space in the more communal areas of the building (flexible
walls provide each resident with a minimum of 700 square feet of
semi- private studio space). Writers are welcome to use the library
space for writing and reading, as well as their own private rooms
equipped with desks. An outdoor courtyard offers space for working
in a variety of media.
SFAI's facility meets all ADA
requirements with complete accessibility for wheelchairs to studio
and living spaces. Two resident rooms are equipped with bathroom
facilities for wheelchair access, and since SFAI's complex is one
level, there are no stairs or barriers. All signage is presented in
large clear type (English and Spanish) and in Braille.
Campus
security is available 24 hours a day, and a Residency Assistant is
always available for residents on site. The unique SFAI environment
allows residents to be as interactive or private as they wish. There
are no requirements on the work produced during their time at
SFAI.
Artist and Writer Residency
The Artist
and Writers Residency (AWR) is primarily for emerging and mid-career
artists, although established artists are encouraged to apply as
well. The AWR offers residents the time, space and opportunity to
take risks, experiment on new projects and/or continue on works in
progress. Lengths of residency range from one to three
months.
Further
information
Residencies are by application only. A peer
selection panel meets twice a year to review applications. The next

WORKSHOP
'Survival': A DIY4 project, London, UK
Deadline: 6pm
FRIDAY 11th MAY 2007
£Cost: Free
A wilderness
ritual - an invitation to step outside of one's social and artistic
comfort zone and move with the flow of the city itself.
Led
by Orion Maxted and Al Paldrok.
When: Friday 15 June to
Wednesday 20 June 2007.
Where: The Sussex Downs to central
London.
The Project
'Survival' is a six-day nomadic
workshop moving from the Sussex downs to the London streets, whilst
penny- less and sleeping outdoors. The first two days will be
workshops in the rural environment exploring primitivism, whilst
foraging for food. On moving into London, the outcomes of the
workshops will form street actions responding to the context of the
city. The focus will be on the activity, development and survival of
the group, not the production of performances for passers by. Rather
this artistic activity is a way to focus reflection on the
activities in general, and mainly as a constituent part of the
proposed fundamental needs: 1) Full stomach 2) Community 3)
Art.
Any questions about 'Survival', and to get an
application form ONLINE
or please contact Orion Maxted: orionmaxted@hotmail.com - please put
