AWARD
The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award, Standpoint Gallery,
London
Deadline: 31 May 2007
Call for entries for
yearly award with a total value of £10,000. Will result in a solo
exhibition in September 2009 at Standpoint Gallery.
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 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.

COMMISSION
Launch of Great North Run Cultural Programme - Moving
Image Commission 2009, UK
Deadline : Monday 9th June
2008.
To celebrate the silver anniversary of the BUPA
Great North Run in 2005, the Great North Run Cultural Programme was
established, which featured the film broken time by Jane and Louise
Wilson. As part of the legacy of this film and part of an ongoing
commitment to exploring the relationship between sport and art, the
annual Great North Run Moving Image Commission was announced.
Supported by Arts Council England, this major commission
awards an experienced artist or film- maker £30,000 to create a new
work which responds to and captures the spirit of one of the world's
top sporting events. The films are premiered in the North East in
September as part of the Great North Run Cultural Programme, with an
extract screened on the BBC as part of the live coverage of the BUPA
Great North Run. There are plans to tour all of the works nationally
and internationally from the end of 2008.
Organisers of the
Great North Run Cultural Programme are delighted to announce the
call out for submissions for the Moving Image Commission for 2009.
Artists are invited to submit an expression of interest in
the first instance consisting of a brief outline of their approach
to the commission including budget and CV. Closing date for
expressions of interest is Monday 9th June 2008.
>From
these submissions a shortlist of three artists will be invited to
develop their proposals with the selected artist being announced
publicly in September and the work to be completed and delivered by
September 2009.

work who is UK based.
Says Beth Rowson, Great North Run
Cultural Programme Manager:

a great response to the call for submissions and anticipate that

PROPOSALS
Globalization and Identity, Gallery Galzenica, Croatia
(Hrvatska)
Deadline: June 15, 2008
In the early
1990's, two major changes were taking place in Croatia: political
and territorial independence from ex Yugoslavia and the first wave
of economic globalisation. As you may know, globalisation is the
economic model that, after the break up of European socialist
countries, with the help of the new technologies (the Internet,
mobile networks etc.), created new ways of making profit. Two
opposite social processes were the consequence of that: degradation
of national economies and proliferation of particular cultural
identities.
During 1990's, the countries of Middle and
southeast Europe were in search of their position on the new map of
Europe and thus found themselves in a paradox situation of parallel
decentralization of economy and nationalization of culture. The more
cultural practice seemed traditional and particular, the more it
represented self-identification model for newly formed countries.
Although impossible for the global application, the model of
so-called traditional culture became the pattern applicable to
national culture through various local and group identities. The
expansion of local media, equality of dialects, World Music and
lifestyle culture are only few of the phenomena that could not exist
without tension between global and national.
The 2009
programme of the Gallery Galzenica casts light on questions such as
what the difference between Europe of nations and Europe of regions
is. Are these countries, once "behind the iron curtain", and their
great national stories anachronism or last, though unrepresentative
evidence that modernism is an open-end process (Habermas)?
Furthermore, is the issue of individual, local or national
identity rather an interest of marketing and profit making than the
process of personal and social development? Does globalisation
actually encourage fundamentalism, chauvinism and xenophobia? If
yes, what are possible reasons for multiculturalism? Where has the
idea of cosmopolitism disappeared? Is the only choice we have the
one between bad and worse?
We invite you to send your
proposal for participation to galerija.galzenica@globalnet.hr by 15
June 2008.

Klaudio Stefancic, a curator and a director of
