Cda-Projects Grant is offering a 10,000 Euro grant to support the production of an artistic research project.
Deadline: November 20, 2012
Application fee: none
Cda-Projects Grant was initiated in 2011 to provide a support structure for research-based artistic practices. It aims to foster a community of practitioners, whose work explores the speculative potential of knowledge.
Cda-Projects Grant for Artistic Research and Production awards 10,000 Euros annually through an international open call. Each year, the grant recipient and honorary mentions are chosen by an invited selection committee consisting of artists, curators and writers. In addition, a publication of the research process and outcomes of the chosen project is produced.
As well, Cda-Projects Grant supports a program of events, which aims to create dialogue and discussion around artistic research projects highlighted by the selection committee.
Cda-Projects Grant is established by Cda-Projects, http://cda-projects.com/ a commercial gallery in İstanbul, which represents established and emerging contemporary artists.
Projects
The grant aims at supporting and opening up discussions on artistic research to an expanded network through an open call. It encourages speculative approaches to how discourse is staged and how knowledge is produced, rethought and interwoven across disciplines. Without any limitations on the content, the proposed inquiries are expected to suggest new forms and methodologies by reflecting on contexts and conditions of the knowledge produced.
Publication
Cda-Projects Grant will also support a publication after the completion of the project that brings together discussions on the artistic research undertaken, including the questions raised, speculative analysis and the final outcome. The publication will be prepared by Cda-Projects Grant in cooperation with the grant recipient.
