Nine Elms On the South Bank
Artist Residency as part of TATE EXCHANGE
with Beaconsfield Gallery Vauxhall, Gasworks and Pump House Gallery
– a Nine Elms district consortia.
Deadline: 5 September 2016
We are looking for an artist or arts collective to work with us in a unique opportunity to create new work with three local art organisations and Tate Modern. The artist residency project will be the first in our three year partnership programme for Tate Exchange at Tate Modern. Artists must be interested in socially engaged practice and committed to working with young people at all three galleries. The residency runs over six months from September 2016 – March 2017, with the artist expected to produce a maximum of two project outcomes in each of the three galleries and one final shared publically accessible outcome at Tate Exchange, Tate Modern on 10th March 2017.
The fee is £6000 inclusive of vat and expenses plus a production budget of up to £5000.
Together these galleries and Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership will commission an artist or art collective to develop and deliver a series of innovative participatory projects that engages with 14-25 year olds to explore what it means to ‘exchange’. The artist will work closely with the partners to develop a maximum of two outcomes at each partner gallery and a final shared outcome at Tate Modern as part of the Tate Exchange Programme March 2017.
We are seeking proposals that can respond to the histories of the partners and the story of our geographical area (Battersea, Nine Elms and Vauxhall), as it undergoes a major transformation - creating new audiences and proactively engaging with the current audiences of these spaces
Proposals are welcomed in any medium: they can be focussed online or offline, they could be performance based or object based. The artist led participation group is to be formed by the artist supported by the combined contacts and networks of the partnership. The brief is intentionally open in order to be artist led. The artist’s fee for the project will be £6000 inclusive of all expenses, plus a small production budget of up to £5000, to be agreed by the Consortia.
