FUNDING

Sciart, Wellcome Trust, London, UK
Deadline: 28 April 2006
Collaboration between art and science is a buoyant field of activity. Visual art, music, digital media, moving image, creative writing and performance provide fresh ways of interacting with scientific research, and engaging a wide range of audiences in scientific issues. In turn, science - with its vivid history, complex contemporary advances - offers a rich supply of inspiration for the arts.
Projects should aim to stimulate fresh thinking and debate in both disciplines. Innovation and experimentation are crucial. At the same time projects should be accessible to diverse audiences and should attempt to engage the public in the social, ethical and cultural issues that surround contemporary biomedical science.
Sciart is offering up to £500 000 in 2006 to further support and encourage innovative arts projects investigating biomedical science and its social contexts.

Exit Art, New York, NY
The Building Show September 2006
Deadline May 1, 2006
In the fall of 2006, Exit Art will present The Building Show. Buildings have become iconic figures of cities and countries, as an homage to the vertical icons that surround us, we are asking artists to choose any building in the world and to respond to it by making a conceptual, realistic, personal, intimate or analytical portrait of that structure. Our personal relationship to buildings is at the crux of this exhibition. These architectural wonders are loved or despised by their neighbors. Oftentimes buildings serve as a symbol of a city or have deeply rooted historical significance, they form skylines that are embedded into our vertical memory. Other times buildings are surrounded by controversy, neighborhoods are rezoned, gentrification causes displacement, and old buildings are torn down and quickly rebuilt for new uses. For The Building Show, we want artists to respond to the love / hate relationship they have to these important structures. Artists can choose any building in the world, but the building needs to physically exist today.
How to Apply
Proposals may be for work in any medium. Please submit a one page description of your project idea: a sketch of the proposed project; a resume; and documentation of your previous work (10-20 slides or images on CD, please send images at lowest resolution so they open quickly, or a 3-5 minute NTSC VHS video or DVD). Please include a self addressed stamped envelope for the return of your work. You will be notified by email of your involvement in the exhibition so please include an email address with your materials. Exit Art is not responsible for returning works submitted with out a SASE.
Send Submissions To: Exit Art, The Building Show, 475 Tenth Avenue, New York, NY 10018 | Or email building@exitart.org | No phone calls please. | www.exitart.org

MAY DAY to MAY DAY, museumMAN, Liverpool
On May 1, 2006 - Adam Nankervis is asking artists to document themselves on bridges with their flags in the city they are in and send the images to me before sending their flags after May 1 to exhibit throughout the world this year. It will then be part of The Liverpool Biennial 2006 in October.
May Day is exactly a half-year from November 1, All Saints' Day. Marking the end of winter half of the year in the Northern hemisphere, it has always been an occasion for popular celebrations, regardless of the political or religious establishment. May Day was originally the Celtic holiday Beltaine, the "Return of the Sun". It is the third and last of the spring festivals. Beltaine manifests with the the maypole, draped in banners ribbons and flags and the sending a basket of flowers to someones door. The London Biennale 2006 The candy coloured point flags on Maypoles and the traditionally bannered flags draped from windows and carried during marches in celebration of May Day has inspired this proposal. MAY DAY I would like to invite all artists wishing to participate in The London Biennale to bring a flag on May 1-or on the opening event of The London Biennale 2006 and over the period of The London Biennial 2006 fly them over and around London, Liverpool, Berlin and to other destinations where they can be hoisted to allow the artist a dialogue of their desire of any size, colour whether whimsical, absurd, slogan, emblamatic...which will be assembled in a unity-ojoined, accumulating in a diverse assemblage in many locations, culminating in a hoisting of the flags on London Bridge on August 31 2006-the official night of the closing of The London Biennale 2006. The flags will then be flown amast in Liverpool as The London Biennale Pollination during a site yet determined in Liverpool, during The Liverpool Biennial 2006 where all artists will be represented. Im asking artists that are not in London-or maybe that are- to send me first a sketch with the idea behind the flag as an attachment before sending the sketch to me as part of the exhibition(s) with the flags for The London Biennale 2006 website and the future exhibitions that will ensue to:
