Dumbo
Arts Center, Brooklyn, NY
OPEN CALL TO ARTISTS WORKING
IN VIDEO, FILM, INSTALLATION, PHOTOGRAPHY AND/OR COMPUTER MEDIA
Deadline: February 1, 2008
The Dumbo Arts Center has
invited Denise Carvalho to curate a group exhibition for Summer 2008
and is looking for artists working with the topic of religion and
its relationship to power, economics and politics: "I am interested
in diverse viewpoints towards the various "Isms" of religion and
religious denominations, including Buddhism, Catholicism (especially
Irish and Polish), Protestantism (especially Evangelism and its
connection to economics and political power), Hasidic Judaism
(especially from the perspective of Hasidic women or from the
Misnagdim), Islamism (women and religion in public, homosexuality,
Jihad, etc.), a Hindu perspective (especially in relation to issues
of caste and to its relationship with nationalism), Russian
Orthodox, the Amish, the Mormons, all kinds of paganism, new
religions, etc.
The exhibition aims to explore how artists
envision the role of religion in contemporary experience. The
concept does not intend to represent, illustrate, or allegorize
religious experience, whether collectively or individually, but to
provoke thought and highlight critical positions. I also welcome
religious humor and absurdity. Can religious experience be erotic?
Does it sustain taboos and discrimination? How much does religious
corruption define positions of power? Can it embrace slavery or
prostitution? The infiltration of religion into education, politics
and the law is as problematic as the influence of religion in
consumption, or the link between religion, caste and national power.
The infamous binaries, sacred and profane, nature and culture, are
now blurred in the economic market, in the media, and in political
rhetoric."
SELECTION & NOTIFICATION
The curator will
make a final selection of works after the entry deadline. If your
work is selected you will be notified by e-mail. Submission
materials will NOT be returned. Applicants are responsible for
shipping costs. Please do not use fiber envelopes.

FILM & VIDEO & NEW MEDIA
Composure commissions : Lumen, UK
Deadline: 5pm | 12
December 07
Lumen
is offering opportunities for artists and film- makers in the
region to create a new series of visually stunning short films,
using the organisation's brand new HD equipment. There is no set
theme, in order to encourage a wide range of proposals, and to
encompass contributions from all creative disciplines.
The
aim of the project is to encourage a focus on considered shot
composition, moving the emphasis of creating new work away from a
growing reliance on post-production techniques. In order to achieve
this, each film will be a single, locked-off shot, with a running
time of between 2 and 3 minutes.
The finished works will be
premiered as a new strand in Lumen's internationally acclaimed
Evolution festival, in Spring 2008.
Each selected production
will have free access to a Panasonic AG-HVX200E camera, tripod and a
set of redhead studio lights (if required) for up to 2
days.
No fees are available for artists, but expenses of up
to £100 will be available for each
project.

send a project outline (350 words max) and your details on the

About Gallery
Aferro :
Gallery Aferro is an artist owned and operated
alternative space founded in 2003 by Evonne M. Davis and Emma
Wilcox. The mission of Gallery Aferro is to bring cultural education
and esthetic engagement with contemporary issues to all people
equally, and to create an environment where artists can gather and
share physical and intellectual resources. We are working towards an
arts community that is available to everyone, without sacrificing
quality of experience.
Founded in a converted factory
building in the Ironbound, Gallery Aferro was planned as a pilot
project to be recreated in different architectural forms, in
multiple American cities. The gallery is currently being run out of
a donated 4 story building in downtown Newark. We offer 12
exhibitions a year, featuring local, national and international
artists, a wide variety of events such as interactive public art
projects, performances, talks, film screenings, portfolio reviews
and public usage based on the stated needs of the community. We
launched our residency program in 2006 and were one of four
nationwide recipients of a 2007 New York State Workspace Consortium
grant to improve it. A publishing line has just been launched,
consisting of exhibition catalogs, original essays, and artist
books.
About the Residency:
Several of the 06-07 Aferro
Studio residents have commented that the chance for informal
networking with peers afforded by residency in the building was one
of the best aspects of their experience. Also mentioned by residents
consistently as a unique and valuable aspect of the program was
temporary ownership of a platform to interact with the public.
Residents will be awarded a 1200-2000 sq ft studio for 6
months, with 24 hr access, access to visiting curators and other
gallery directors, and inclusion in an end-of-program catalog
highlighting their work over the length of the residency. The
current Aferro building can accommodate up to 5 artists at a time.
Artists will be selected on the basis of quality of work, commitment
to their field, and ability to interact positively with the
community at large. The program will aim for a mix of Newark and out
of city residents.
The Studios
Studios range in size from
1200 to 2000 square feet. Not all studios have windows. Artists who
are accepted into the program must be prepared to actively use their
studio. The studios are strictly work only spaces. 6-month slots are
available beginning Feb 15, 2008.
Responsibilities
$200
a month per studio covers all utilities. Each resident must also
donate some time during the residency to gallery projects.
Eligibility
There is no residency restriction for
applicants. Artists in any media may apply. The building is not
appropriate for welding and other open flame activities. Please
contact us with any questions about your application, our space or
what you might want to do with your time at Aferro.
Selection Process
A panel of arts professionals and
artists will review applications and select artists for the
2008-2009 season.
