Trashfighter, Igor F. Petkovic, Environmental Photographer of the Year Exhibitor, 2013
Now open for entries, the Atkins CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Yearcompetition is an international showcase for the very best in environmental photography and film. Launched in 2007 by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM), the competition honours amateurs and professionals of all ages. It provides an opportunity for photographers to share images of environmental and social issues with international audiences, and to enhance our understanding of the causes, consequences and solutions to climate change and social inequality.
Following a hugely successful first year partnership, Atkins, one of the worlds leading design, engineering and project management consultancies, are once again sponsoring the competition, allowing for two significant improvements this year. 2014 sees the introduction of the Atkins Cityscape Prize of £1,000, and it is hoped that the competition will be open to more photographers this year, as it is now free to enter. Justin Taberham, CIWEM Director of Policy, comments: “Building on the success of last year’s partnership, CIWEM is delighted to have Atkins’ support once again in the search for the most powerful environmental and social imagery out there. We hope the works in 2014 will capture moments in our fragile world that not only motivate change, but inspire and celebrate the successes as well.” David Tonkin, Chief Executive Officer, UK & Europe, Atkins, comments: “As engineers and scientists we are engaged in helping solve many of the complex problems facing our growing worldwide population and balancing the impact on our environment. This competition plays a vital role in documenting our rapidly changing world and illustrates clearly why finding the right balance between demand for development and what is socially and environmentally acceptable has to be at the heart of all that we do.” Selected from an open submission process, entries are judged on impact, composition, originality, creativity and technical ability. Previous entries have examined issues such as innovation, sustainable development, biodiversity, poverty, climate change, human rights, culture, natural disasters and population growth. Prizes for the 2014 competition include: the Atkins CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Year of £5000; the Atkins CIWEM Young Environmental Photographer of the Year (Under 18) of £1000; the Atkins CIWEM Environmental Film of the Year of £1000. In addition, the competition this year awards two further prizes: the Atkins Cityscape Prize of £1000 and the Forestry Commission England Exhibition Award (one photographer will be invited to exhibit a solo show at one of England’s public forests). Italian photographer, Michele Palazzi, was awarded the First Prize in the 2013 competition for his work Gone with the Dust #2, which shows a young brother and sister during a sand storm in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. He reflects: “Since being awarded CIWEM’s Environmental Photographer of the Year Award 2013 my project, ‘Black Gold Hotel’ has become known across Europe and in Mongolia. The prize money has allowed me to return to Mongolia two more times and extend my body of work which has now become a long term project, largely because of the exhibition and publicity which has brought attention to it, as well as to the environmental issues in Mongolia.” The announcement of the outstanding environmental, social and natural photographs selected for exhibition will be made in April 2014. The works will be displayed at the Royal Geographical Society in London in June 2014, followed by a tour to forest venues nationally, supported byForestry Commission England. HOW TO ENTER: Open to all photographers, professional and amateur alike, the competition encourages entries that are contemporary, creative, resonant, original and beautiful. Entry is now free, photographers may submit up to 10 works. Deadline for entries: 31 March 2014, by 5pm GMT For further information and to apply: www.epoty.org Twitter: @EPOTYComp #EPOTY14 For all enquiries, please contact the competition organisers, Parker Harris: E.

DRAWN: 1st Annual International Exhibition of Contemporary Drawing
CALL FOR ENTRIES - DRAWN: 1st Annual International Exhibition of Contemporary Drawing Deadline: March 3 Application fee: $12 DRAWN 1st Annual International Exhibition of Contemporary Drawing Manifest was founded in-part to stand for the importance of drawing as a process, skill, and discipline, and as a continuing viable product of the creative fine art and design fields. Since its inception the organization has continued to incorporate drawing-based programming, including education (Drawing Center), publications (INDA), and gallery exhibits into the broad spectrum of its projects. The students and professors who formed Manifest in 2004 knew that despite their diverging career paths (architecture, art history, painting, industrial design, photography, education) they were brought together to some degree on account of their connection to drawing and their mutually intense but multi-faceted pursuit of this fundamental discipline. In honor of the original spirit of the founding ideals of Manifest, the gallery has chosen in its 10th season to launch DRAWN as a new annual exhibition. DRAWN will seek to survey and present in our galleries the broad scope of drawing being made today. DRAWN calls for artists to submit works of drawing in any media relevant to the practice (including non-traditional approaches), any style, and any genre (fine art, illustration, design, conceptual, realism, etc.). This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type or style of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental. The only criteria beyond excellent quality is that works must qualify as drawing, including that which tests the boundaries of the discipline. Submission deadline: March 3, 2014 http://www.manifestgallery.org/drawn Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center 2727 Woodburn Avenue | Cincinnati, Ohio 45206 | 513-861-3638 http://www.manifestgallery.org/ http://www.re-title.com/exhibitions/manifestgallery.asp

KINGDOM: The Animal in Contemporary Art
MANIFEST: Call for Entries KINGDOM An International Exhibition Exploring the Animal in Contemporary Art Deadline: February 28, 2014 Application fee: $12 Images of animals in art have existed parallel to those of humans for as long as images (and objects) have been made by people. Our social, creative, and psychological evolution is inextricably tied to our relationships with animals. Whether it be the taming of the wolf, resulting in 'man's best friend', the tethering of the horse which magnified the power and geographic reach of humans, or the domestication of herd animals which contributed to the establishment of cities and large concentrations of people (and the growth of culture), they are all part of the trajectory of humanity to this point in time. All have been documented, explored, and deified throughout the long process by images and objects featuring animals. But this isn't just history (and pre-history). The animal remains a powerful subject in contemporary art. So Manifest has chosen once again to feature an exhibit which will reveal the state of the animal in contemporary art. With this we call for artists working in any media to submit works that in some way feature or address animals, real or imagined. This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type or style of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental. The only criteria beyond excellent quality is that works must somehow address or feature the animal as primary subject, form, or content. Submission deadline: February 28, 2014 For complete info and to submit online: http://www.manifestgallery.org/kingdom

THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND 2014-15, NYCCall for applications
Deadline April. 01, 2014 Application fee: none The Fund awards project-based grants to emerging artists from anywhere in the world to produce major performance and contemporary avant-garde artforms in New York. 2014 is the 29th anniversary of the Franklin Furnace Fund. Initiated in 1985 with the support of Jerome Foundation, Franklin Furnace has annually awarded grants to emerging artists selected by peer panel review to enable them to produce major performance art works in New York. In the spring of 2008, Franklin Furnace combined the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art and The Future of the Present programs into one, entitled the Franklin Furnace Fund. Franklin Furnace made the decision to combine these programs because during the last decade, artists have created works on every point of the spectrum between the body of the artist and the circulatory network of the Internet in the creation of temporal work. The Franklin Furnace Fund is supported in 2014-15 by the Jerome Foundation; the Lambent Foundation, The SHS Foundation, and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Grants range between $2,000 and $10,000 based on the peer review panel allocation of funding received by Franklin Furnace. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; however, artists selected by the panel are expected to present their work in New York. Full-time students are ineligible. Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. Every year the panel changes, as do the definitions of "emerging artist" and "performance art." So if at first you don't succeed, please try again. Since 1985, the Fund has helped launch the careers of Jo Andres, Tanya Barfield, Jibz Cameron aka Dynasty Handbag, Lenora Champagne, Patty Chang, Papo Colo, Brody Condon, Nicolás Dumit Estévez, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Coco Fusco, Kate Gilmore, Pablo Helguera, Donna Henes, Murray Hill, Holly Hughes, Liz Magic Laser, Taylor Mac, Robbie McCauley, Jennifer Miller, Naeem Mohaiemen, Rashaad Newsome, Clifford Owens, Pope.L, Dread Scott, Pamela Sneed, Fiona Templeton and Diane Torr, among 260 other fund recipients.

Het Entrepot: open call residency program Cut The Crap, Brugge, BelgiumCUT THE CRAP: RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Deadline: March 1st, 2014 Application fee: none 'Gone West' is a project organized by the province of West-Flanders (Belgium) dedicated to the commemoration of The Great War (1914-1918). Het Entrepot is launching the residential program 'Cut The Crap (C.T.C.)' for artists from around the world working in the field of visual arts. This program will last five years. Every year two artists will be invited to come and work in Het Entrepot. During two months artists will have the chance to research, develop and create an art project. This project will be presented at Het Entrepot and might include an intervention in the public/urban space which will relate to the subject of the residency in response to the environment and to the history of the region. War and conflict is still a reality for many people in today's world, just as it was for those people who lived hundred years ago. 'C.T.C.' is Het Entrepot's artistic component of the commemoration and presents a contemporary reading of the impact of conflict and its causes and consequences which will be revealed through visual arts, multidisciplinary in its nature. Over a period of five years Het Entrepot would like to focus on different themes in relation to the notion of 'conflict'. We kindly invite young artists to research their position towards the greater theme of conflict in the arts and in our globalized world. Het Entrepot is looking for projects that are clearly developed based on a social engagement or which are conceived from the necessity to respond to a particular problem or conflict (in relation to 'History'). The residential program invites the following contemporary disciplines: painting, drawing, sculptures, photography, video, multimedia, mixed media, performance and audio art. PART 1: OUT LOUD OUT LOUD focuses on how the conflict of war gets started, with special attention on censorship and communication. OUT LOUD explores the various ways in which communication methods are being used during times of crisis or conflict. Disinformation and the manipulation of facts and figures are often the starting point of a greater conflict. Through different channels the public is given an enormous amount of information but how much of that information is correct and reliable? Is what we see and hear true? And what about the events that don't reach us and that we never get to see? We challenge artists to research and explore this theme. Artists working within this framework, whether they deal with contemporary global conflicts or research the historical dynamics of the First Great War, are welcome to take part in this program. The residency program will start on September 1th 2014 and will last 8 weeks. A first public exhibition/performance of the project is planned on October 24th 2014. The deadline for applications of this first year of the CTC residency is March 1th 2014. TIME FRAME Year 1: Oct - Dec 2014: OUT LOUD > focuses on how the conflict of war gets started, with special attention on censorship and communication. Year 2: Apr -May 2015: FAINT HERO > focuses on human behavior. The subjects of duty, honor and patriotism are being investigated. Year 3: Aug- Sept 2016: SILENT SPEECH > focuses on stories from different people, soldiers and civilians, involved in conflict. Year 4: Aug- Nov 2017: MINED MIND > focuses on trauma and the psychological effects of war on people. Year 5: Jul- Aug 2018: FAST FORWARD > focuses on the future, rebuilding a nation, positive developments. WHO CAN APPLY This program focuses on young professional and emerging artists, under the age of 35.

Fondazione Antonio Ratti: Open call for young artists, XX CSAV – Artists Research Laboratory Tacita Dean - Comoggardising: the benefits of creative indolence - 30 June–23 July 2014
Deadline: March 31, 2014 Application fee: none During this year laboratory, Tacita Dean will invite the young participants to re-find what the Swiss writer Robert Walser named 'sluggardising.' Interpreted by Dean as the ability to work while appearing to be doing nothing, most often when lying down, this is an important state for the artist and it is often misinterpreted or misunderstood. The level of brain idleness that will be encouraged during the workshop is very rigorous indeed and difficult to achieve. It is an invitation to identify new time and new space in one's life in order to move closer to discovering an unconscious level to one's art practice. The laboratory is free of charge. Accommodation expenses in Como are to be covered by the participants. To apply, please fill in the form available online at http://www.fondazioneratti.org The application and all required materials must be sent by the 31st of March 2014. Tacita Dean was born in 1965 in Canterbury, UK. She studied at Falmouth School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art before moving to live and work in Berlin in 2000. The films, drawings and other works by Tacita Dean are extremely original. Her recent film portraits express something that neither painting nor photography can capture. They are purely film. And while Dean can appreciate the past, her art avoids any kind of academic approach. Dean's art is carried by a sense of history, time and place, light quality and the essence of the film itself. The focus of her subtle but ambitious work is the truth of the moment, the film as a medium and the sensibilities of the individual. Dean's solo exhibitions include Tate Britain, London; MACBA, Barcelona (2001), Tate St Ives (2005), Schaulager, Basel (2006), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2007), Nicola Trussardi Foundation, Milan; ACCA, Melbourne (2009), MUMOK, Vienna; Turbine Hall (Unilever Series), Tate Modern, London (2011) and the New Museum, New York (2012). Most recent exhibitions include The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia and her latest film project JG at Arcadia University Art Gallery, Philadelphia (2013) and Frith Street Gallery, London (2013) and c/o Jolyon, 2012-2013 at Frith Street Gallery, London (2013). Shows in 2013 also included Instituto Moreira Salles, Rio de Janeiro; Fundación Botín, Santander; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA), Melbourne; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea in Seoul and Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna, MAMbo. Forthcoming shows in 2014 include The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Utah Museum of Fine Arts, UMFA, National Gallery of Denmark, SMK and Sydney Biennale. Dean has taken part in many group exhibitions including Venice Biennale (2003, 2005 and 2013), Sydney Biennale (2005) and Sao Paulo Biennale (2006 and 2010), and she recently participated in dOCUMENTA (13) (2012). Dean was awarded the Hugo Boss Prize in 2006 and the Kurt Schwitters Prize in 2009. CSAV Fondazione Antonio Ratti Villa Sucota Via per Cernobbio 19 22100 Como Italy |

Salzburg Summer Academy 2014 : Call for applicationsSalzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts
21 July – 30 August 2014 Deadline 1 April 2014. Application fee: none About the Summer Academy Programme The 2014 Summer Academy offers 21 courses of between one and four weeks—18 in Hohensalzburg Fortress, one in the Kiefer quarry in Fürstenbrunn and two in temporary venues in the city. http://www.summeracademy.at How does the world come into the picture? * This is the motto of the Summer Academy's widely varied programme. It deals with the particular ability of the fine arts to generate "images" of the increasingly impenetrable world, both of its superficial outward appearance and of social and political conditions. Thus Amelie von Wulffen begins her course with the question of how artists appropriate the world, and how it then develops into a picture, and Norbert Bisky investigates the relation between perception and image-finding. Together with his students, Doug Ashford carries out research and practical experiment on the nature of human life, bodies and politics. By establishing direct on-site collaboration, Tobias Zielonyconcentrates specifically on the use of photography to show the life-worlds of young people. What's new in 2014? For the first time, the Summer Academy offers a course in The Art of Writing, with art historian, critic and writer Jennifer Allen. Since the Summer Academy programme opened up to include further artistic disciplines, starting with curatorial practice, this is a logical continuation. Cinéma copains (Arne Hector/Minze Tummescheit) demonstrate how artists today can work with analogue film in their own dark-room, showing a method developed by artists in recent years parallel to the disappearance of analogue film. Robert Kusmirowski will direct the Summer Academy's first course in the genre "Public Art"; students will move around in the city from a "home base", exploring possible and impossible ways to realise both collaborative and individual projects. In another "first", Olga Chernyshevaand Anna Jermolaewa together with their students, will work closely with the curators in Anders Kreuger's course, and reflect on how pictures function and what they signify. They will also collaborate in mounting a final presentation. The programme approaches topical questions of contemporary art, curating and writing about art. The course subjects, the techniques taught and the teaching methods are widely diverse, but the link between them is the quest for contemporaneity – examining current aesthetic, political, social – and thus artistic – questions, and for new forms of expression. * The title of Amelie von Wulffen's course Teaching artists in 2014 Nancy Adajania, Jennifer Allen, Doug Ashford, Kader Attia, Sarnath Banerjee, Norbert Bisky, Olga Chernysheva/Anna Jermolaewa, cinéma copains (Arne Hector/Minze Tummescheit), Charlotte Cullinan, Adriana Czernin, Felix Gmelin, Ellen Harvey, Anders Kreuger, Robert Kusmirowski, Peter Niedertscheider, Lukas Pusch, Lucy Sarneel, Elisabeth Schmirl, Paolo Woods, Amelie von Wulffen, Tobias Zielony Regular application The Salzburg Summer Academy is open to anyone interested.

Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014, UK
Submissions are now open. Deadline: 16 February 2014 Application fee: £25 Information regarding the submissions process and selection can be found on the New Contemporaries website at http://www.newcontemporaries.org.uk/about/submissions Marking its 65th anniversary under the new directorship of Kirsty Ogg, Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014 launches this year's open call by announcing Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Enrico David, Goshka Macuga and Simon Starling as selectors. With over 1,400 applications received in 2013, submissions for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014 are being accepted from 13 January - 16 February 2014. Applications are welcome from final year students and graduates from UK art schools applying as individual artists or as collaborative groups. Following two rigorous selection rounds in March 2014 and in April 2014, participants will be announced by June 2014 with the resulting national touring exhibition offering a compelling picture of contemporary practice. Kirsty Ogg, Director says 'As the UK's foremost annual arts initiative, New Contemporaries has consistently provided a critical platform for early stage artists, playing a central role in providing many with their first high profile show, and a launch pad for their careers. We are delighted to work with Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Enrico David, Goshka Macuga and Simon Starling, all of whom have shaped the cultural landscape since graduating from UK art schools.' As a National portfolio organisation, New Contemporaries is a registered charity supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Marvin Gaye Chetwynd was born in London and lives and works in Glasgow. She completed a BA in Social Anthropology and History, UCL, London (1995), followed by a BA in Fine Art, Slade School of Art/UCL, London (2000) and an MA Painting, Royal College of Art, London (2004). Known for her anarchic performances that draw widely from both high and low cultural sources such as Giotto and Star Wars, Chetwynd was selected to participate in New Contemporaries 2004 at Coach Shed, Liverpool Biennial and Barbican Art Gallery, London. Simon Starling was born in Epsom and lives and works in Copenhagen. He studied at Maidstone College of Art (1987) followed by Trent Polytechnic Nottingham (1990) and Glasgow School of Art (1992). Starling's work combines historical research, scientific enquiry and a deep engagement with materials, revealing a fascination with the processes and techniques involved in producing both manufactured goods and traditional handmade objects. Goshka Macuga was born in Warsaw and lives and works in London after completing her studies at Central Saint Martins and Goldsmiths College (1996). An interdisciplinary artist working across media including sculpture, installation, photography, architecture and design, Macuga explores how and why we remember both cultural and personal events, creating and recreating monuments to forgotten histories. Enrico David was born in Ancona and is based in Berlin having studied at Central Saint Martins (1994). David's work explores the idea of the human body in metamorphosis. While his practice is rooted in drawing, he also works in painting, sculpture, installation and performance, at times employing traditional craft techniques.

The Moscow International Biennale for Young ArtArtistic Director - David Elliott
Deadline: 30 January 2014 Application fee: none The Moscow International Biennale for Young Art, one of the largest and most ambitious projects in the field of contemporary art, will be take place this summer for the fourth time. The Biennale combines the creative initiatives of artists of the new generation from Russia and abroad. Leading Moscow museums and centers of contemporary art, in collaboration with regional and foreign partners, have participated in the preparations for this event. The project attracts the steady attention of critics, curators and other representatives of professional society and a wide section of the public; all who are not indifferent to the future of art. One of the main tasks of the Biennale is to discover new young artists. The project presents an opportunity to the new generation to create links and set up creative partnerships within the professional art scene. The Biennale provides a space to demonstrate the relevant strategies of the new generation of artists and curators. This year the artistic director of the project will be David Elliott, curator, author and museum consultant. From 1979 to 1996 he was the head of the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford (England), and then the museum of Modern Art in Stockholm (Sweden). Between 1996 and 2001 David Elliott was the founder and director of the Mori Museum of Art in Tokyo (Japan), from 2001-2006 Elliot was the first director of the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art (Turkey). In 2007 he became the artistic director of the Sydney Biennale (Australia). In 2008 he took up the position of professor of art history at the Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany). He was then invited to be the artistic director of the First International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Kiev (Ukraine), from 2011 to 2012 he worked as a consultant in the Centre for Contemporary Arts CPS Project in Hong Kong, and since 2008 he has been a visiting professor of museum studies at the Chinese University in Hong Kong. David Elliott chose the title of the IV Moscow International Biennale for Young Art «A Time for Dreams» by rephrasing the famous «I have a dream» speech by Martin Luther King. With this title the curator emphasizes the chronic instability of our time and the acute need for the young generation to have dreams, hopes and opportunities, to not blindly go with the flow but to invest their strength into the perfection of the world. The main project of the Biennale in 2014 will be presented in the Museum of Moscow. The educational programs of the Biennale will also be organized in collaboration with the museum. Institutions are invited to collaborate and young artists and curators to participate.

May 16–18, 2014 Open Engagement Queens, New York 
Open Engagement: Life/Work
Artists have a way of provoking new forms of being, examining and challenging the ways that we live and work, proposing alternative approaches, and suggesting ways of navigating and negotiating existing systems. What are the impacts of artists living and working in community? What is the work of art today? How has the idea of life's work changed in the 21st century? Open Engagement 2014 features keynote presenters Mierle Laderman Ukeles and J. Morgan Puett, and focuses on the theme of Life/Work. The conference examines how economic and social conditions connect to life values and philosophies, and situate the everyday in relation to larger political and social issues including labor, economics, food production, ways of being, and education. These two seminal figures have through their practices defined and redefined how life and work can be the foundation for artistic exploration. Mierle Laderman Ukeles is a defining artist in the history of performance, feminist, and socially engaged art and has been the official artist in residence with New York City's Department of Sanitation for over three decades. Her work models possibilities of how an artist can create long-term, sustainable alternative contexts within which to situate and create their work. J. Morgan Puett is an interdisciplinary artist, cultural producer, fashion designer, and Co-Founder and Director of Mildred's Lane and The Mildred Complex(ity). Her work explores pedagogical structures, systems of labor, sociality, ethics, and all-encompassing lived experience. Open Engagement Moves Coasts Open Engagement is pleased to announce its move to Queens, New York from Portland, Oregon for its upcoming conference, May 16–18, 2014. Open Engagement, an annual free art conference that explores various perspectives on art and social practice, will find a fitting landing point within the diverse, "micro-global" community of Corona, Queens. The 2014 Open Engagement conference is co-presented by theQueens Museum and A Blade of Grass, and will take place at the newly renovated Queens Museum, with additional programming at New York Hall of Science, Queens Theater in the Park, Immigrant Movement International, and various other locations around New York. Its new location will highlight the work being done around art and social engagement on the East Coast, further materialize this already developing network, and create a site that will connect these efforts. Directed and founded by Jen Delos Reyes in Regina, Canada in 2007, the conference went on to become a key site for people interested in socially engaged art. As in the past, Open Engagement will include a partnership with graduate programs featuring art and social engagement. This year Social Practice Queens(SPQ), a new MFA concentration that combines the resources of Queens College (City University of New York: CUNY) and the Queens Museum, will lead the partnership, which will also include a number of other New York-based programs. The unique partnership between Queens College and the Queens Museum, whose new one word mission is fittingly, openness, will provide a strong framing support for the conference. The conference will also continue its tradition of being free and open to the public. Call for submissions The call for submissions for presenters is open now. We are inviting proposals for projects, performances, tours, interventions, presentations, or panel ideas. Contributors are encouraged to think of ways to work across disciplines, connect peers and colleagues at this conference, and to connect and engage multiple publics. We encourage presentations, projects, and panels that challenge expected conference approaches, for example engaging in multiple forms of learning, creating structures that privilege discussion and interaction and presenting content without the use of standardized visual aids formats. Submissions close January 3, 2014. Full conference schedule will be available in March.

Artists' Residencies in the Community 2014 and 2015
Deadline 6th January 2014 Application fee: none VARC’ is inviting visual artists to apply for twelve-month residencies at Highgreen in rural Northumberland. The Trust is hoping to appoint two artists from applications submitted; one artist to hold the resdiency staritng 2014 and another artist to hold the residency starting October 2015. Aims VARC's primary aims are to: • Promote interest, awareness and understanding of visual arts in a rural community through engagement with an artist • Develop visual arts projects in rural communities • Offer a unique opportunity to an artist wishing to develop his or her practice by working and living in a remote rural community The Residency VARC is looking for: artists who feel that 12 months spent living in an isolated rural location will significantly benefit their practice.

The length of the residency is one year, as this would allow the artist to experience the full cycle of seasons as well as the time for the rural community and environment to have an impact on the work. However in exceptional circumstances six month residencies are not ruled out. The aim is to give the artist a unique opportunity to concetrate on his/her practice in a remote setting, away from the constraints of city life.

UdK Award for Interdisciplinary Art and Science, Berlin
International call for individuals and groups Deadline 31 March 2014 Application fee: None 
Berlin University of the Arts (UdK)
The UdK Berlin is one of the biggest, most traditional institutions of advanced artistic education in the world. It has the right to award doctorates and post-doctoral lecturing qualifications and offers more than 40 study courses covering the full spectrum of the arts and related academic fields. With its Colleges of Fine Art, Design, Music and Performing Arts and the Central Institute of Continuing Education it is one of the few centres of advanced art education in Germany with university status. The Competition Art and science are moving towards one another, discovering common issues and working methods. The creative, imaginative processes in the arts and sciences are similar, whereas the concrete realisation of their results tends to differ. Repeatedly, this difference is the source of productive tension and areas of friction. In all disciplines of the arts and sciences, further developments over recent decades have been characterised by mutual influences and efforts at differentiation. Today, traditional dividing lines between the spheres can no longer be maintained; they are being newly defined and presented in their permeability. This competition aims to give the impetus and opportunity to artists (fine art, media, architecture, design, music, theatre, visual communication etc.) and scientists to work between the priorities of the arts or between the arts and science. Participants Individuals and groups are eligible to participate. Full-time employees of the UdK Berlin, as well as students of the UdK Berlin and other colleges/universities are excluded. Entry Deadline The deadline for entries is March 31, 2014. The registration form including detailed information can be requested from the address below and is also available as a download. Prize The prize will be awarded on a biennial basis and is endowed with 7,500 Euros. Jury Prof. Martin Rennert, President of the UdK Berlin (chairman of the jury) Wolfgang Knapp, Commission for Artistic and Scientific Projects at the UdK Berlin Heike Mertens, Schering Stiftung Prof. Dr. Norbert Schmitz, Muthesius-Kunsthochschule Kiel Dr. Veronika Sellier, ETH Zurich N.N.

The Future is Not What it Used to Be Deadline: February 1, 2013. Application fee: none 
The second edition of the Istanbul Design Biennial will be realized between 18 October and 14 December 2014 by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV), and will comprise a wide range of events, workshops, conferences and screenings centered around its exhibitions program. Under the overarching title The Future Is Not What It Used To Be, the Biennial's curator, Zoë Ryan, revisits the manifesto as a platform and catalyst for critical thinking in design. The biennial asks, how can we reclaim the manifesto for the 21st century and beyond, not only in the production of texts, but through actions, services, provocations, or objects and seize the potential to incite inventive outcomes? As a platform for generating new ideas, the biennial invites submissions for contemporary manifestos that explore the complex role of design in today's society.
The full exhibition outline and submission guidelines can be reviewed on the website of the http://tasarimbienali.iksv.org/en Istanbul Design Biennial explores a cross section of fields, from urban design (environmental, urban and regional planning) to architecture, photography, industrial, graphic, fashion, textile and interaction design, and all related creative fields. There are therefore no disciplinary or geographic limitations to the projects that can be submitted for inclusion in the Biennial.

Seattle Office of Arts & Culture Million dollar call open to international artists Deadline: January 9, 2014 Application fee: none 
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture seeks an artist or artist team for the public piers of the Seattle Central Waterfront. These piers will be rebuilt as part of Waterfront Seattle, a large-scale project to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct with 26 acres of new public space, streets, parks, and buildings. The project is funded by Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) 1 percent for Art funds generated by the reconstruction of the Elliott Bay Seawall in downtown Seattle, part of a larger project of redeveloping Seattle's Central Waterfront. The call is open to professional artists working nationally or internationally. The budget for this commission is approximately 1,000,000 USD, inclusive of design, fabrication, delivery, installation, travel, fees, taxes, and other project-related costs.
For more information, visit http://www.seattle.gov/arts/ or email [email protected]. "The re-building of Seattle's waterfront is the biggest physical transformation Seattle will undergo in my lifetime," said Office of Arts & Culture director Randy Engstrom. "We have the opportunity here to make the waterfront into a space that's beloved by all Seattle residents and visitors—and art will play a major role in creating that kind of space." As outlined in the Working Plan for Art on the Central Seattle Waterfront, commissions and ongoing cultural programming are part of the construction process for the waterfront. This includes a major commission, envisioned as a centerpiece for the Waterfront, for Pier 62/63 or the Union Street Pier. Completion of this work will help accomplish goals around engagement of residents and visitors and making the Waterfront an active cultural center for the city. The art plan advocates for "cultural connections between the city and the rest of the world." The pier site-proposal for this commission links to Seattle's history as a port, and to connections between the local and the global on the waterfront. This call responds to the significance of the piers as markers of that history, and should result in a work of global significance. About the Office of Arts & Culture | Making art work. We envision a city driven by creativity that provides the opportunity for everyone to engage in diverse arts and cultural experiences. We are supported by the 16-member Seattle Arts Commission, citizen volunteers appointed by the mayor and City Council. Call for submissions: Phillips Book Prize

Soft Machines (working title) 29 October–2 November 2014 Deadline: 20 January 2014 
The Impakt Festival is the annual culmination of the activities of Impakt as an organisation that specialises in critical media culture: a multi-media festival with conferences, talks, performances, screenings, exhibitions, presentations and music. The Impakt Festival 2014 will take place from 29 October until 2 November at several locations in Utrecht (NL). Curatorial proposals can be submitted by curators individually or collectively and should revolve around this year's theme Soft Machines (working title): Where the Optimized Human meets Artificial Empathy.
Soft Machines (working title) Where the Optimized Human meets Artificial Empathy Artificial intelligence is a concept that appeals to the imagination. The 'Singularity,' the moment at which computers become more intelligent than people, is a utopia for some and a nightmare for others. But what about the emotional and empathetic capabilities of computers and machines? Humans are naturally inclined to ascribe feelings to machines. At this point in time, robotic nurse assistants are already carrying out important work in nursing homes, and computers and mathematical models are playing an increasingly greater role in ethical decision-making. But when is there a question of the capability of real empathy? Can humans actually deal with robots that in terms of appearance and behaviour almost can't be distinguished from real people? Is interacting with robots culturally determined? What happens when we increasingly computerize the world and the influence of humans fades away into the background? Under the influence of medical, psychiatric and sociological insights, human beings are increasingly being viewed as machines that can be controlled and improved. Are the complexity of our products and systems and the extensive computerization and 'dehumanization' causing an erosion of the material and ideological basis of our society? Machines might be resembling people more and more, but isn't the real revolution taking place on the other side of the line, where the human psyche is slowly being changed by our interaction with computers? Submission dates Deadline: 20 January 2014 Notification: 20 February 2014 The curator or curatorial team can be responsible for the entire festival programme comprising films, lectures, new media projects, presentations, a music programme and an exhibition. It is also possible to submit a proposal for one or some of the parts of the festival programme. Read the submission guidelines here.

All contributing artists will be credited and listed on the following websites; www.objectabuse.comand www.spinach.co.uk/artists/ What does Object Abuse look like? The answer to this question is not so straight forward, but when you put obvious ethical or ecological perspectives to one side, then the possibility for speculation really is limitless. Who is to say the object in question is passive and not active? What really qualifies as abuse (in this context), is it quantifiable and can we envisage it’s subtler variations? For that matter, what is an object; or rather can we say what isn’t an object…with any real certainty? Isn’t everything an object? Submission details: We request that artworks be submitted as hard copy, so it needs to be sent through the post to the Spinach space (address below). Submissions can also be handed in.

Kyiv Sculpture Project 2014 will take place from 20 May to 10 July 2014. The Festival is destined to become the significant platform for the development of contemporary sculpture in Eastern Europe and to put Kyiv on the world map of public art. The first KSP held in 2012 was enjoyed by more than 600,000 visitors. "The main goal of this project is to create in Kyiv a platform not only for the development of contemporary sculpture, but also for international cultural exchange. We would like the creative people from all over the world to visit Kyiv so that the international cultural scene would develop dynamically and have a positive impact on the atmosphere of the city, as well as on the way Kyiv is perceived internationally," says Yuliya Liovochkina, the founder of KSP. The Main Project of KSP 2014 will present the works by shortlisted nominees of the International Sculpture Prize for Young Artists. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the partner of the Festival, will show in Kyiv the Special Project on British Contemporary Sculpture. "We are glad to be back in Kyiv and working with KSP again," said the YSP Senior Curator Helen Pheby, PhD. "The sculptures chosen for the 2014 Special Project are all made since 2000 but represent some of the most important sculptors of their generations from 1960 to present day, all informing the definition of what is Contemporary British about sculpture today." Also in 2014, Kyiv Sculpture Project will introduce the Art in the City discussion programme with the world's leading experts in culture, art and urban studies. Offering a platform for pertinent comments in public art and international discourse, KSP will attract and interest a wide public, interdisciplinary partners and contemporary artists.

The Main Prize was split between two projects: The Seashell by Zhanna Kadyrova (Ukraine) and Moonstruck by Karin van der Molen (Netherlands). The main focus of KSP 2014 is Art in the City. How does art interact with the city and its inhabitants? How can it change the attitude toward public space and form new understandings of the urban environment? Ultimately, how can a work of art influence our everyday life? Kyiv Sculpture Project provides an opportunity for artists to share their own practical consideration of contemporary art and urban public space. Submissions will be accepted from 30 October to 20 December 2013 inclusive. The selection will be announced in February 2014.

SYSTEMATIC Deadline: December 9, 2013 Submission fee: $12 
An International Competitive Exhibit of Works By or About Systems
SYSTEMATIC seeks to collect and examine works of visual art or design which in their form, production, or concept offer insight into the nature and effects of systems. This exhibition concept offers a very wide window through which artists, designers, and others may interpret and apply their work. For this purpose 'systems' is being defined loosely as processes or information made up of routines or rules, by which 'inputs' are converted into 'outputs' through a consistent orderly method. For example, works may themselves be products epitomizing systematic processes, may simply be illustrative of such processes (i.e. an image of machines in a factory system), or may be imitations of systematic products or results. Systems may be tangible physical processes, or conceptual/political/philosophical processes. The goal is to reveal how such a modern concept such as 'system', one which affects so much of our daily lives, shows up in visual art, illustration, or design. It is also to inspire deeper consideration of this fact on the part of the visitors to the gallery - to reveal the interconnected processes into which they themselves provide fuel, directly or indirectly through participation or consumption. This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type or style of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental. The only criteria beyond excellent quality is that works must clearly feature systems as their process, subject, concept, or form. Deadline: December 9, 2013 For complete info: http://www.manifestgallery.org/systematic Call for ideas: NEXT THINGS 2014 – PERSONAL - LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Centre
Global art & technology challenge Open hardware fellowship Deadline: January 16, 2014 Application fee: none 
Telefónica R&D and LABoral are proud to organize NEXT THINGS 2014 – PERSONAL, the third global art & technology challenge.
The goal of the challenge is to bring together art and technology, artists with technologies, and to unleash the huge potential of mixing the creativity and perspective of artists with the nowadays powerful open hardware technologies. NEXT THINGS 2014 – PERSONAL pursues innovative and breakthrough ideas on the internet of things in the context of art and technology. In this edition we focus at the personal level, trying to go beyond the implications of personal data, understood strictly as data and software. Participants are invited to explore the extent and implications of the existence, collection, use and distribution of personal data, also from the point of view of physical devices—internet of things and M2M. In particular we want to explore the balance or imbalance, symmetries or asymmetries between privacy and control of personal data. Participants are encouraged to question and amplify the very definition of "personal data" itself. Participants are encouraged to explore the management of personal data in centralized or distributed fashions and the balance, confrontation or collaboration in this area between public and private approaches. Also the relationships between transparency and control, including the personal and collective management of personal data. The relationship between opportunities opened up by protecting or sharing personal data is also a field of exploration. Participants are invited to explore these dimensions with respect to the actions and reactions around technology (including the internet of things) that can be actively developed by individuals themselves considered as isolated entities or as organized groups or movements. It is important to reflect on these frameworks and to explore the impact that the internet of things, and interactions machine to machine (M2M) can have on the lives of people, on a scale that spans from individual to whole societies. It will be appreciated in the proposals: –That may be converted in manufactured objects, employed by people and societies. –Connected wirelessly to the internet. The call is open to all creators in the space between art and technology. The selected project will be awarded with a six-month artist fellowship, split between LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (through Plataforma 0. Production Centre) in Gijón for two months and Telefónica R&D (Telefonica's technology research and development arm) in Barcelona for four months. The goal of the fellowship is to enable the fellow to bring the chosen idea to life. The fellowship will start on April 1, 2014. The artist will receive 12,000 euros gross as fees and a grant of up to 2,000 euros gross for travel, accommodation and expenses at LABoral. Please send a one-page idea proposal, a one-page visual description and a CV in PDF format to[email protected] before January 16, 2014. The proposal should outline the project and describe—on a high level—the building blocks required to make it.

Fondazione Merz - Mario Merz Prize
Open Call for the Contemporary Art and Music Prize Deadline: January 31, 2014 Application fee: none 
With the firm belief that art can represent freedom of thought without boundaries and promotes self-determination and the free circulation of culture and ideas, the prize is dedicated to those who harbor the right will to pursue their research beyond the hardship determined by political, social or geographical conditions.
Given that the recent art processes focused greatly on historical, social, and political changes, while also considering the tragedies yet afflicting mankind, the prize intends to base the selection criteria for its short list on the qualities of internationality, generosity of thought, social awareness, as well as innovative research traceable in the works and individual paths of the artists and composers selected.

October 2013–December 2015 Deadline for first round of proposals: November 18, 2013 Application fee: none 
Times Square Arts and The New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) have partnered to turn the construction fences in Times Square into a large-scale canvas for a rotating contemporary art gallery.
http://www.timessquarenyc.org/ Times Square Transformation (TSqT) is seeking artists, designers, and curators to make submissions that explore the themes of transformation, systems and exchanges, which characterize both the infrastructure beneath Times Square as well as the cultural life above. The visual artwork must consider a modular design for two sizes of vinyl mesh that will be affixed to the metal fencing used to section off construction areas. Undergoing a five-block Broadway plaza reconstruction design by Snøhetta, Times Square will be partially shrouded by construction fences throughout the multi-year build. Because Times Square is a dynamic and diverse commercial site, TSqT is looking for ambitious artwork that will be appropriate for all audiences, but still communicates a sense of edginess that has been at the cornerstone of the Times Square identity. TSqT will consider artists, designers and curators of arts institutions who may want to use this outdoor gallery for new works or as an extension of existing exhibitions. This display should function as an independent exhibit and a break from advertising. For the inaugural exhibition, JR returns to Times Square to turn it inside out, this time using just the eyes of New Yorkers and tourists that were photographed as part of his INSIDE OUT NEW YORK CITY project this past spring. Turning Times Square INSIDE OUT will be on view through January 2014 Duffy Square & Broadway Plazas between 41st–47th Streets New York, New York 2014 Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project in Taiwan

Elysium Gallery is looking for work based on the topic of Urban & Rural. With the boundaries between the two becoming increasingly blurred by contemporary life, with all of its luxuries and freedoms, people have started living their lives in different ways, rendering conventional and separate definitions obsolete. As the population and our economy grow so does the opportunity to profit from the countryside’s violation and it begins to disappear. The towns and cities expand and the rural landscape is increasingly replaced by the Urban, with its ‘green spaces’ planned by professional architects. Surely something is lost in the process? Is the notion of Urban & Rural now becoming irrelevant or as we continue to explore and inhabit every square mile of the earth mean it is more important than ever to have those separate? http://www.re-title.com/exhibitions/elysiumgallery.asp Curatorial Proposals for an Exhibition on Graphic Print Media, Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33
Open Call Deadline: December 16, 2013 Application fee: none 
Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33 are pleased to announce an open call for curatorial proposals for an exhibition on graphic print media in Z33 from 23.11.2014 to 01.03.2015.
After the success of the exhibition All the Knives (Any printed story on request), curated by Åbäke (http://www.z33.be/en/projects/all-knives-any-printed-story-request) Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33 are launching for the second time an international open call for curatorial proposals for an exhibition on graphic print media. The purpose of this concept is to broaden the network of both international and national curators, and to stimulate curatorial strategies and concepts in the field of graphic print media. The objective is for the curator to examine and question graphic print media from an art-historical and social background toward modern applications and social developments. Specific characteristics of graphic art applications, in terms of technicality and content, are examined in view of defining a conceptual basis for the project. The survey into the transdisciplinary nature of graphic art techniques and into new forms of presentation and implementation offers added value as well. Testing the boundaries of the graphic print medium and the research-based, critical and society-driven approach of the project are in line with the activities of Z33, at whose premises the exhibition will be held from 23.11.2014 to 01.03.2014 Download a full description of the open call. http://www.z33.be/sites/default/files/opencallforcuratorialproposals-z33-fmc_0.pdf Z33 - House for contemporary art Zuivelmarkt 33 3500 Hasselt Belgium Ferme-Asile Residence, Switzerland

La Box, Call for Projects Deadline: 15 March 2014 Application fee: none 
The Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art (ENSA) in Bourges provides its students with generous workspaces and technical facilities that are regularly modernised and re-equipped. It offers a Masters in Visual Arts that puts the emphasis on inventiveness and creativity.
La Box is one of the school's main educative tools and every year it organises ten exhibitions by artists from France and elsewhere. For the last nine years it has been entrusting part of its programme to young curators over the course of an academic year, chosen and monitored by members of the School's teaching team. Moreover, for twenty years now ENSA has been providing residencies, with the backing of the Regional Cultural Affairs Office (DRAC) and France's Centre Region. These residencies are intended to give young artists from France and other countries the chance to carry out personal research projects in association with the school, its teachers, its students and any other outside partner of their choice. http://www.ensa-bourges.fr/index.php/fr/galerie-la-box/residences Call for a curatorial project Part of the programme for the 2014–15 season will be entrusted to an independent curator, a critic or a collective whose curatorial project has been chosen by La Box's selection panel. The final proposal should lay down the project's structure and time frame before the end of June 2014, when timetabling of the exhibitions for the following season will take place. As part of the School's teaching context, the programme should include the presence and participation of the students. The curator(s) should also choose and implement a liaison approach aimed at an outside audience. The overall budget is 25,000 EUR. Of this 20,000 EUR will be devoted to production and transport of works, travel and accommodation expenses for the artists, travel expenses for the curator(s), communication, publications; the remaining 5000 EUR will cover miscellaneous expenses for the curator(s). Candidates must be aware that this kind of programme demands considerable availability on their part. Attendance at regular on-site meetings is indispensable. In addition, ready responsiveness by phone or email is vital during preparation of the programme. The curator must be present during the setting up and opening of exhibitions. In the case of a collective, dialogue and coordination between the members is essential so as to avoid all contradictions in their dealings with the School and La Box. Terms and conditions Draft projects must be presented using the following form, downloaded and filled out. They should be sent by email to [email protected], marked for the attention of Chloé Nicolas. Closing date for applications: 15 March 2014 The short list will be drawn up in April 2014.

Henry Moore Institute - Research Fellowships 2014–15
Call for applications Deadline: 13 January 2014 Application fee: none 
The Henry Moore Institute is a world-recognised centre for the study of sculpture in the heart of Leeds. An award-winning exhibitions venue, research centre, library and sculpture archive, the Institute hosts a year-round programme of exhibitions, conferences and lectures, as well as developing research and publications, to expand the understanding and scholarship of historical and contemporary sculpture.
The Institute is a part of The Henry Moore Foundation and is tasked with the responsibility to study sculpture. Our role is to make a significant impact on the future of art history, placing sculpture right at the centre. We achieve this through an exhibitions and research programme that consistently rethinks how we understand sculpture today. We continue Moore's legacy by making sculpture a necessary and relevant part of contemporary culture. Research is central to the activities of the Institute. Each year we offer a number of Fellowships to enable researchers of different backgrounds and disciplines to develop their work at the Institute. Research Fellowships are intended for artists, scholars and curators working on historic and contemporary sculpture who can make particular use of the Institute's resources: our Research Library, Archive of sculptors' papers and the Leeds sculpture collections, which we manage in partnership with Leeds Museums and Galleries. In 2014–15 up to four Research Fellows will be given the opportunity to spend a month in Leeds to develop their own research. In addition we will support up to two six-week Senior Fellowships, which are intended to give established scholars time and space to develop a research project free from usual work commitments. Up to two Senior Fellowships for periods of between four to six weeks will be offered. Both Fellowships provide accommodation, travel expenses and a per diem. For more information on the Henry Moore Institute Research Fellowships, visit our website:http://www.henry-moore.org/hmi or contact Kirstie Gregory, Research Programme Assistant by email: [email protected].

New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) invites artists of all ages and nationalities to submit works on the theme UNDO / REDO for consideration in New Adventures in Sound Art's 2014 programming in Toronto, Canada.
Errors in judgement, actions you'd rather not have made; or conversely that perfect moment you'd like to relive, or a future you'd like built from the foundation of past successes. What if you could apply a simple editing function to your life? What if with the magic of digital technology you are enabled to undo or redo an action or group of actions? What would that sound like? Preference in programming will be given to works that respond in some way to the theme UNDO / REDO: revisiting the past and/or changing the future. Individual interpretations or variations on the theme are encouraged, but should be realized with sound as the primary component. NAISA would also like to encourage artists to submit works on the theme UNDO / REDO for performance, gallery exhibit, screening, webcast or audio stream, radio broadcast, network or translocal performance, mobile experiences and any other emerging formats that include sound as a primary element. Programming contexts include the long established festivals Deep Wireless and Sound Travels along with NAISA’s other annual events.

The Aftermath Project GrantPhotographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict
Deadline: 11 November 2013 Application fee: none With generous support of the Foundation to Promote Open Society, we will be offering one $20,000 grant in 2014, and naming four finalists. The Aftermath Project’s mission is to support photographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace. Grant proposals should reflect an understanding of this mission. Proposals may relate to the aftermath of numerous kinds of conflict, not just international wars. The conflict may have been at the community level — for example, violence between rural ethnic groups or an urban riot in an industrialized country. It may have been a regional one, such as a rebel insurgency, or it may have been a full-scale war. There is no specific time frame that defines “aftermath,” although in general The Aftermath Project seeks to support stories which are no longer being covered by the mainstream media, or which have been ignored by the media. In general, conflict should be over for a situation to be deemed an “aftermath.” There are specific cases, however, where conflict may have continued for so long, or be the result of an aftermath situation, that they will be considered to be within the scope of The Aftermath Project Application in details: http://theaftermathproject.org/2014-Application The Aftermath Project http://theaftermathproject.org/

All proposals will be reviewed by an international jury of notables in the fields of art and architecture. Selected entries will be part of the WorldWide Storefront program and individuals will receive 1,000 USD in seed funding to start their project, as well as strategic outreach support and technical and logistical mentorship.

W-CA PHOTOGRAPHY OPEN
Call for contemporary photographic responses to Landscape.
W-CA PHOTOGRAPHY OPEN W-CA are pleased to announce our selection panel for the next W-CA open call exhibition. Our selectors are: Paul Seawright, Dan Holdsworth, Richard Billingham, Pete James, Jem Southam, Fiona Crisp and Ivan & Heather Morison. New prize fund £500 and rising REGISTER AND ENTER £10 for single entry / £20 for up to three entries ENTRY DEADLINE 5th November 2013 Venue: Worcester City Gallery, Foregate Street WR1 1DT Preview Date: Friday 6th December Open to the Public: Saturday 7th – 28th December 2013 Opening Times: Mon-Sat / Closed 24th 25th & 26th December 10:30am to 4:30pm W-CA are proud to present the second juried exhibition of 2013, the focus of this open call exhibition is contemporary photographic responses to Landscape. In 2010 W-CA were asked to co-curate the Contemporary Art Society collection which was acquired in 2001 under the galleries ‘contemporary landscape collection policy.’ Worcester City Art Gallery has collected contemporary art for 150 years, building up an outstanding collection, particularly strong in landscapes. The Worcester City Museum collection, of which fine art is an important part alongside natural history, archaeology and social history, focuses on the shaping of the English landscape. Worcestershire’s landscape tells the story of England, from the geology of the Malvern Hills to the town planning ‘rape of Worcester’ which drove modern conservation movements. There have been two major pushes to purchase contemporary art: one between the opening of the current museum building in 1896 and the First World War; and the second at the turn of the 21st century. In the early 1900s, many paintings were purchased direct from the artists including favourites such as Chadding on Mounts Bay by Stanhope Forbes.

The results of these efforts are presented at the end of their stay in Tokyo and after returning to their respective countries at film festivals both domestically and abroad. The application period for this year’s program is from July 1st to September 9th, 2013 and after the selection process has been completed three successful applicants will be invited to participate. Their period of stay will be 70 days between the 7th of January and the 17th of March 2014, during which time they will receive funds to cover travel, accommodation, educational fees, and other expenses. In the past three years, we have had participants from the UK, France, China, Switzerland, Poland, Belgium, the USA, and Finland.

City of Sydney: Public art to transform Sydney’s City Centre
Public art to transform Sydney's City Centre Deadline: 31 October 2013 Application fee: none Over the next ten years, Sydney's city centre and George Street, its main north-south artery, will be transformed. The transformation of the city centre and George Street is one of the most significant public works projects to occur in Australia in generations, as detailed in the draft George Street Concept Design. Public art commissioned for Sydney's city centre and George Street will play a major role in the transformation, as detailed in the City Centre Public Art Plan. http://www.cityartsydney.com.au In keeping with the City of Sydney's commitment to sustainability, light rail will be implemented by the New South Wales State Government from 2014 along George Street as part of an extensive network connecting outlying areas to the heart of Sydney. Reinforcing the amenity represented by the re-introduction of light rail, vehicular traffic will be removed from a section of George Street. According to the Public Art Plan, in the reconfigured city centre, works of art, comfortable seating, shade, and plantings will go hand-in-hand with improved design and sustainability, creating spaces people will want to spend time in. To challenge preconceived notions of public art, the research for the City of Sydney's City Centre Public Art Plan has been rigorous and its recommendations are wide-ranging. Sydney's public art must aspire to match the excellence already achieved in Australian architectural projects and the uniqueness seen in our landscapes. A legacy of new permanent works of art will be created to underscore the civic and historic importance of George Street, Australia's first street. Works of art are sought that will unify the street and be highly memorable—possessing a gravitas and landmark quality equivalent to that of Sydney's great civic buildings and spaces. In a second brief, artists will have the opportunity to conceive art to address the east-west connecting streets that cross George Street. The Plan identifies five priority sites for art in the city centre, with works of art for George Street and the east-west connecting streets crossing George Street the first projects to be realised. Sydney is Australia's international gateway and only global city. It is Australia's largest and most densely-populated city, a multicultural village that is home to more than 200 nationalities. Sydney has been the beneficiary of the achievements of many artists over the years, apparent in the number of works of art already in existence and part of the City of Sydney's public art collection. The City Centre Public Art Plan provides the opportunity for new art projects to be integrated into the fabric of a city. New legacy works of art commissioned for Sydney's city centre will assume great significance, become familiar to residents, and be seen by visitors to Sydney from around the world. The City Centre Public Art Plan stresses the importance of the role of artists who will be involved in the project in its earliest stages and in collaboration with the urban designers shaping this project. The aim is to bring together an amazing group of artists over the next ten years by appealing to the most inventive and exciting practitioners working today. The process of identifying and selecting artists will be open and inclusive. By casting a wide net and insisting on a superior level of quality and ability among artists, diverse and iconic new works of public art will add another, dynamic layer to the impressive array of works of art realised by the City of Sydney to date. Commencing 28 August through to 31 October 2013, the City of Sydney will invite artists to submit Expressions of Interest for two city centre sites: George Street and the major East-West Connecting streets (crossing George Street). To be one of the first to hear about these opportunities, please subscribe to the City of Sydney's City Art e-newsletter at http://www.cityartsydney.com.au/ 
The Charlotte Square Collection & Edinburgh College of Art: Artist in residence
Call for applications Deadline: 09 September 2013 In partnership with The Charlotte Square Collection, Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) is seeking to appoint an artist in residence with substantial experience and interest in location-specific projects, to work with and lead students on project(s) inspired by Edinburgh's Charlotte Square. For the first time since its conception in 1767, the majority of Charlotte Square is now being managed as an estate where a new sense of custodianship seeks to return the Square back to its premier status as a prestigious commercial centre in the city, by bringing modern building technologies within the context of Grade A listed buildings whose stunning interiors can be sensitively restored and preserved. The artist in residence will, in discussion with ECA and representatives of The Charlotte Square Collection, define the scope and format of the project(s) and work to an agreed set of deadlines for a range of events throughout the 11-month residency. As well as collaborating with groups of ECA students, the Artist in Residence will also work with the Art Collections Curator and ECA Archivist to document the projects, developing ideas around the 'archival process' and the permanency of the projects themselves—making a tangible connection to the work being carried out on Charlotte Square. The artist in residence will have access to a 'laboratory' space in Charlotte Square, where both the groups involved and The Charlotte Square Collection can demonstrate the activity of the residency to the project's various audiences. The stipend for the residency will be 15,000 GBP with an additional 5,000 GBP available towards costs for materials, exhibition, presentations and events. The residency has an expected start date of 1 October 2013 and will run until the end of August 2014. Around two to three days a month of collective enquiry would be expected of artist and students, depending on the nature of the project(s), culminating in an exhibition and/or event to coincide with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Open Call Deadline: 1st September Application fee: none periscope’s call for 2014 is addressed to Austrian and international artists, who have ideas and concepts but had little chance to realize them yet. Furthermore, in 2014 the annual programme will focus on projects which open up to the public in a participatory way or make use of participative art strategies. In this sense, artistic positions are wanted that aim for an interactive process and in their substance deal with the boundaries between artist and the public. We are looking forward to your digital submission by mail to periscope.office[@]gmail.com including the following: • documentation of the artistic work • proposal, draft, outlines (max. 400 words) • CV periscope:project:space Sterneckstraße 10 5020 Salzburg - Austria http://www.periscope.at SHAME: OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2014/2015
SHAME: OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2014/2015 Deadline: 30 September 2013 In 2014/2015, Center for Contemporary Arts (Celje), Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery (Zagreb) and the feminist curatorial group Red Min(e)d (Sarajevo/Ljubljana/Munich/Belgrade) are initiating a collaborative research project focused on the topic of Shame. The aim of the project is to question the modes through which the affect of shame becomes activated or produced. Shame operates on the relation between the self and the other, between the emotional and social. Experiencing shame is internalized. It belongs to the body and it affects the body by an emotional intensity that causes disorientation in the subject’s perception of his/hers own identity. Through shaming feelings of guilt, embarrassment and unworthiness arise within the subject, making him/her experience these emotions as if he’s/she’s done something wrong or bad in front of others. For example, nudity provokes shame, not because of the nudity per se, but because of an inability to escape, to hide, symbolizing the inevitable presence of the self. Likewise, humiliation as a result of the violent intrusion of social rules set by the controlling mechanism of a hegemonic and patriarchal power relation causes shame through suppression, inferiority or constitutional inadequacy. Therefore, to be ashamed can be understood as being left with something for which we can’t take responsibility or with something that we want to cover (to hide) or with something that we should resist. This process enables the construction of a shamed identity that can be applied on the individual or on a particular population. If experiencing shame is an internalized modality, the anthropological formula that produces the social, cultural or material process of shaming is located outside the body, belonging to the other. The normative structure of a particular society constructs normative behavior. Any discrepancy from the prescribed norms initiates the process of shaming through which a certain type of behavior becomes marginalized. By investigating artistic, cultural, social, political, anthropological and historical processes we will try to find the means that constitute shame in a particular culture and ask to which structural processes of identification the affect of shame is being attached. Is it attached to the conditions of the body and therefore applied to a particular mode of sexual behavior, gender or age? Or is it a matter of class, religion, race, culture or nationality? Unpacking these questions will help to reveal the hidden motives and drives that initiate the process of shaming. Could shaming be understood as a tool that enables the power to marginalize and oppress certain members of the society? Or perhaps as a mode for practicing and sustaining control over the body? Can shame convey potency and articulate resistance? Which type of shame is being allowed and encouraged within today’s society that re/produces capitalist and patriarchal power relations? The project aims to investigate the topic by initiating a discursive platform that will bring together different disciplines and modes of thought reflecting upon the notion of shame. For this purpose the Center for Contemporary Arts Celje, Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery Zagreb and the feminist curatorial group Red Min(e)d (Sarajevo/Ljubljana/Munich/Belgrade) are publishing an open call for collaboration in the residential programme 2014/2015. The open call invites artists, who within their own artistic practice research the proposed topic, for a residency (length of the residency varies from three weeks to two months) focused on in-depth research as a contribution to the project. The residency will take place in: Center for Contemporary Arts, Celje:http://www.celeia.info/program_umetnik_na_delovnem_obisku Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery, Zagreb: http://www.g-mk.hr/programme/residents/ Association for Culture and Art CRVENA http://www.crvena.ba/ The outcome of the residency: Public presentation of the artist´s work in the Center for Contemporary Arts, Celje and/or Miroslav Kraljevic Zagreb/Association for Culture and Art CRVENA (the format of the presentation will be decided upon with the selected artist). The project is going to be presented through various workshops, lectures, seminars, artist talks and the final exhibition showing the results of the project. In order to apply, please send the following documentation: - Personal data (name, surname, date of birth) - Contact details (email, address and phone number) - Letter of motivation (elaborate upon your interest in the proposed topic) - Portfolio Please send your application to one of the following addresses: 1.

MediaArtHistories, Master of Arts –
Danube University 
Images: A.Bosse (1648) + S.Mikami (Gravicells, 2004)
The MediaArtHistories MA at Danube University is the only international Master of Arts program focusing on preparing art professionals and researchers through a deep exploration of the diverse histories of Media Art, Science and Technology. The program is a two-year low-residency, either 90 or 120 ECTS Master’s degree offered in English. In addition to individual study and project work at your home location, students gather twice a year for two-week seminars with internationally noted media artists and scholars. These intense and enriching sessions take place at Danube University or another European location relevant to the community of media art, such as Linz, Austria, Berlin, Germany, and Riga, Latvia.
Since its beginnings in 2006, Danube University’s MAH program has offered its students both a deeper critical comprehension and a practical orientation regarding the most important developments of contemporary art, by building on its faculty network of renowned international theorists, artists, and curators. The connections and community that are formed during the two-week modules are maintained with online networking and project collaboration throughout the year. ==> BRAIN TRUST – Faculty of the MediaArtHistories program have included: Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev MANOVICH, Christiane PAUL, Roger MALINA, Jens HAUSER, Jeffrey SHAW, Jussi PARIKKA, Sean CUBITT, Paul SERMON, Oliver GRAU, Christa SOMMERER, Edward SHANKEN, Frieder NAKE, Machiko KUSAHARA, Nat MULLER, Gunalan NADARAJAN, Monika FLEISCHMANN, Margit ROSEN, Knowbotic Research, Andreas LANGE, Christopher SALTER, Darko FRITZ, Irina ARISTARKHOVA, and others. ==> CONTENT - Media Art History offers a basis for understanding the evolutionary history of audiovisual media, from historic examples such as the Laterna Magica of the 17th century to the Panorama, Phantasmagoria, Film, and the algorithmic art of recent decades. Key approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology and the History of Science & Technology are explored in depth. Courses cover subjects such as interactive, telematic, genetic and net art as well as the most recent reflections on nano art, bio art, immersive installations, augmented reality, video games as art, and wearable technology. Special attention is given to examining archiving and preservation, cultural management practice and the theories that inform this interdisciplinary field, such as digital gender theory and cybernetics. ==> DANUBE UNIVERSITY - located 70km from Vienna in the UNESCO world heritage Wachau region, Danube University is the only public university in Europe specializing in advanced continuing education by offering low-residency degree programs for working professionals and life-long learners. The University’s Center for Image Science is housed in the Göttweig Monastery, a 14th century building remodeled to fit the needs of modern media arts research in singular surroundings. ==> STUDENTS - MediaArtHistories coursework is held in English, and students can be accepted throughout the year on a rolling basis. Acceptance into the program requires either a Bachelor’s degree (or higher), or equivalent relevant work experience. Students may travel to Europe twice a year for 2-week blocks of study, or can be eligible for student visas for year-round residency.

Open Photography Exhibition 2013
Deadline: 16th September 2013
First Prize: Second Prize: Third Prize: Young Photographer: £2,000 £1,000 £500.00 £300.00 The Project: Archisle, a project hosted by the Société Jersiaise, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands aims to promote contemporary photography through an ongoing programme of exhibitions, educational initiatives and commissions. Archisle seeks to connect the archive and the contemporary and to enact visual discourses through photography on island experiences; islands of fact and of fiction, islands of the earth and islands of the mind. The Brief: Interior/Exterior It has often been said that the eyes are windows to the soul or that the face is an index of the mind. Portrait photographs, by extension, can be read as carrying these messages of the face. But are portraits not performance pieces, severed at conception from their subjects? Such performances, nonetheless, are necessary for knowing and moving through the world. Portraits are, in a sense, photographers' forensics in the search for fugitive selves and at the inner/outer junction of expression they must conduct their investigations. In architecture and the natural world, artists have negotiated the border between the interior, a place of habitation, and the landscape beyond. 'Places we live in and places we live by,' material and mythical geographies. As house is to home, 'the one allows us to live our lives, the other gives meaning to our existence. As humans we require both.' (Gillis, 2004). Portraits, places and spaces, as images, are subject to interchanges of function and meaning. In 2013 the Archisle Project invites submissions of three photographs in response to: Interior/Exterior. The Panel: Gareth Syvret Project Leader, Archisle: The Jersey Contemporary Photography Programme Michelle Sank Archisle International Photographer in Residence 2013 Jean-Christophe Godet Director, Guernsey Photography Festival The Exhibition: Archisle #2 Open Photography Exhibition Winning and selected photographs will be exhibited at the Berni Gallery, Jersey Arts Centre, St Helier, Jersey from 18th November to 7th December 2013 and online at http://www.archisle.org.je/ Submissions: Full submission details and online entries at: http://www.archisle.org.je/entry2013 Email: [email protected] Kindly sponsored by:

Each year, a focused theme is chosen for the award. In 2012, the WYNG Masters Award launched with the theme poverty (Hong Kong has one of the world's largest wealth gaps, with close to 20% of its population living in poverty). The 2013 theme is air—as Hong Kong wrestles with the health, economic, and social effects of its deteriorating air quality. www.wyngmastersaward.hk/ From 17 June to 17 September 2013, the WYNG Masters Award invites both international and Hong Kong artists and photographers to submit photographic-based work. The visual content of photographic works must be related to Hong Kong and to the chosen theme air. Finalists will be selected by a panel of international judges and their works will be exhibited in Hong Kong in Spring 2014. A full-color catalogue will be published to coincide with the exhibition. The WYNG Masters Award will also host a series of talks, panels, and seminars during the exhibition period. Two award grants will be issued—the eponymous WYNG Masters Award and the WYNG Project (a commission to develop a photographic project highlighting the 2013 theme air). The recipient of the WYNG Masters Award will receive a cash prize of 250,000 HKD and is selected by the judging panel. The WYNG Project recipient, chosen by the WYNG Foundation trustees, will receive 250,000 HKD to execute a project. An advisory board of industry experts will review the WYNG Masters Award finalists and their project proposals and make a recommendation to the foundation trustees. The winners of both prizes will be announced at the exhibition. The WYNG Masters Award international panel of judges is comprised of industry leaders in photography, art, publishing, and non-profit. They include Zoher Abdoolcarim, Abby Chen, Jehan Chu, Louise Clements, Frank Kalero, Joanne Ooi, and Christopher Phillips. For further details on the WYNG Masters Award, the submission process, judges and advisors please visit wyngmastersaward.hk. About the theme: Air Air pollution is one of the top public heath risks in Hong Kong. Levels of pollutants often exceed the limits set by the World Health Organization; Hong Kong lags well behind other urban centres, like New York, London, and Tokyo, that have cleaned up their air. According to a University of Hong Kong study, air pollution has led to well over 3,000 premature deaths, more than 20,000 daily doctors' visits and a monetary loss of 39 billion HKD a year. As Asia's leading financial centre, Hong Kong's position is under threat as businesses relocate to alternative countries—siting mounting health concerns as a primary reason. Hong Kong's government recently announced initiatives to tackle the problem of its polluted air, with the Environmental Protection Department slated to spend 627 million HKD on managing air quality in the current financial year. The impact of these approaches will be closely watched in Hong Kong. For further information and media requests please contact Astor Shek, [email protected]. EMERGENCY6 Aspex Biennial Open Submission

A mapping of the generation born in or after 1989 Deadline: July 30, 2013 Application fee: none 89plus is a long-term, international, multi-platform research project co-founded by Simon Castets and Hans Ulrich Obrist. It is conceived as a mapping of the generation born in or after 1989. Without forecasting artistic trends or predicting future creation, 89plus manifests itself through panels, books, periodicals and exhibitions, bringing together individuals from a generation whose voices are only starting to be heard, yet which makes up almost half of the world's population. www.89plus.com Marked by several paradigm-shifting events, the year 1989 saw the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the start of the post-Cold War period; the introduction of the World Wide Web and the beginning of the universal availability of the Internet, as well as the orbit of the first Global Positioning System satellite. Positing a relationship between these world-changing events and creative production at large, 89plus introduces the work of some of this generation's most inspiring protagonists. Since an introductory panel held in January 2013 at the DLD – Digital, Life, Design conference in Munich, 89plus has conducted research in Australia with Kaldor Public Art Projects and Hong Kong with Art Basel's Salon series. In partnership with the Park Avenue Armory in New York, 89plus selected visual artist and curator Alex Dolan to be artist-in-residence during the Armory's Under Construction series, taking place in September 2013. Open call 89plus announces an open call for artists, writers, architects, filmmakers, musicians, designers, scientists and technologists. There is only one rule: you must be 89plus—born in or after 1989. The open call is hosted at http://www.89plus.com/. Submissions are kept on a private research database for consideration by the project's co-curators. As the project continues in the years to come, those selected will be notified of their inclusion in new endeavours. Submissions are welcome at any time, however the mid-year deadline for 2013 activities is July 30, 2013. http://www.89plus.com/ is kindly supported by DLD – Digital, Life, Design. 89plus is partnering with DIS Magazine for a special DIScrit 89plus, which will be announced shortly. www.dismagazine.com The 89plus Marathon: Friday 18 & Saturday 19 October 2013 Taking place in London during Frieze Art Fair and inspired by Sou Fujimoto's cloud-like Pavilion 2013 for the Serpentine Gallery, the 89plus Marathon will bring emerging practitioners from all disciplines together with world-renowned artists and thinkers. The 89plus Marathon will be the eighth in the Serpentine Gallery's annual Marathon series, an ambitious event that brings together the fields of art, culture, science and technology. Previous Marathons were the Interview Marathon, 2006 (with Rem Koolhaas); the Experiment Marathon, 2007 (with Olafur Eliasson); the Manifesto Marathon, 2008; the Poetry Marathon, 2009; the Map Marathon, 2010; the Garden Marathon, 2011 and last year's Memory Marathon. The Serpentine Gallery Marathon series was conceived by Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist in 2006 and is deeply intertwined with the annual Serpentine Gallery Pavilion Commission, launched by Director Julia Peyton-Jones in 2000. The 89plus Marathon is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Simon Castets and Jochen Volz.

eva International 2014 – Open Call for Proposals
12 April–6 July 2014. Curated by Bassam El Baroni Deadline: 2 September 2013 Application fee: none eva International, Ireland's biennial of contemporary art, is pleased to launch the international open call for proposals for the 2014 edition, curated by Bassam El Baroni. Applications are invited from individual artists or groups in any medium and can be for the presentation of existing works or production of new projects. The online application process is now open and closes at 5pm on Monday 2 September 2013. Please see http://opencall.eva.ie/ or contact [email protected] for further information. Commenting on the curatorial approach for eva International 2014, El Baroni said: “I would like the 36th eva International 2014 to be reflective of the many complex questions that the current heightened global political moment raises. Are we witnessing the continuing dominance of old political narratives? While these old narratives may be slowly showing signs of cracking, what are the obstacles facing the emergence of new narratives? Rather than being any kind of curatorial concept, this statement is intended solely as a hint at a direction that will evolve and nuance as the project develops." Founded in 1977, eva International is an artist-centred biennial of contemporary art that works with acclaimed guest curators to present exhibitions and events across the city of Limerick, Ireland. eva International 2014 is the 36th edition and will be part of Limerick City of Culture 2014 celebrations. Artists' projects will be selected through an international open call for proposals and exhibitions will take place in both gallery and non-gallery spaces. A programme of talks, workshops and events will accompany the biennial and the open call for proposals includes opportunities for artists' projects that engage with the city and its communities.

Call for Works for the 5th Annual NUDE at Manifest Gallery Deadline: July 8, 2013 Submission fee: $12 
5th annual NUDE
An International Competitive Exhibit Exploring the Uncovered Human Form in Current Art Manifest exhibits many kinds of works, from more conceptual and experimental art to the traditional. In fact we think it's important to have such a range in our repertoire. It is something that Manifest is known for. Our annual projects allow us the chance to track how artists around the world address a consistent theme, subject, or media over time, or allow us to document the state of art in a particular strata of professional activity, and to study and preserve our findings in a meaningful way through our exhibit catalogs and website. NUDE is one such project. The human body is a popular subject for many reasons, the most obvious being that it is us. Throughout history the representation of the human form has been charged with tremendous energy, both positive and negative. Whether it be a religious edict that one 'shalt not' depict the human form – a taboo, or the glorious opposite, a revelation of mastery over form in the crafting of sensuous and nearly life-like physical human beauty, the art of the body has nevertheless moved us through time. And through all the permutations art has experienced across history, work of the body persists. We use the human nude to master skill, understand ourselves, and push social and psychological buttons for the sake of expression (sensual, delicate, aggressive, and so on). We intend for Manifest's ongoing annual NUDE project to explore how our collective body is used today in art to achieve these goals and more. This year we are excited to renew our invitation to artists to submit works in any media, of any style or genre (abstract, conceptual, highly realistic, etc.), and of any size and media, for consideration in Manifest's fifth annual NUDE, an international competitive exhibit exploring the uncovered human form in current art. [ read the curatorial statement from the 1st annual NUDE in 2009 here ] Eligibility: NUDE is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art. Media: Open to any and all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including photography, mixed media, video, etc. The only limiting factor is that works must in some way involve, represent, or explore the nude human form. Submission deadline for entry: July 8, 2013 For details on how to enter visit: http://www.manifestgallery.org/nude Manifest is an internationally recognized Cincinnati-based non-profit organization founded in 2004 by students and professors dedicated to creating high quality experiences of visual art through exhibition, publication, artist-support, and education.

deadline 9th June
The Cord Prize, is a new international contemporary art award established to support and acknowledge the practice of early and mid-career visual artists. The award comprises an individual first prize of $10,000, second prize of $1,000, and third prize of $500. Additionally, twenty-two artists will be selected for online exhibition and a piece of writing will be commissioned from the award jurors.
The inaugural Cord Prize – Contemporary art photography
Photography has become a universally accepted, unchallenged, medium of contemporary art. Concomitantly, photography’s capacity to influence our everyday lives has become exponentially important with the ubiquity of visual social media and the opening up of the possibilities for us to communicate and disseminate our photographic images independently of institutional support. It could be said that the ubiquity which photography has achieved, its establishment in the contemporary art canon, is both a blessing and a problem – marking a new beginning, a place to start from all over again, yet more challenging than ever to make meaningful photographic work that resonates in cultural spaces and will endure. The inaugural Cord Prize invites early and mid-career artists who are working within the field of photography to apply.
The brief
Against this setting, applicants to the inaugural prize are invited to submit up to 16 images of current work from a wholly or partially photo-based practice, using any photographic process or medium. Applications should be accompanied by a resume, and text of up to 400 words detailing the artist's research and practice. Applicants may also wish to contextualise their work within what they see as the significant cultural issues at play within contemporary art photography.
Submissions close at midnight (GMT) on 9th June 2013.

Call for entries
Deadline: 17 May 2013 Application fee: none Since 1984 the Museum of Sculpture Glaskasten Marl has hosted the Video Art Award, and since 2002 the Sound Art Award, which will be further developed to the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD. The Museum in Marl has shaped the unique profile of the Marl Media Awards not only through its orientation as a sculpture museum, but also on the strength of its placement in the modernist architecture of the Town Hall, completed in 1966. Because sculpture is a genus to which multifocality and spatial reference are crucial, the video art competition was for the first time launched with a specific substantive focus—for all artists whose video works address questions of spatiality. The works submitted for the Video Art Award must relate thematically, formally or in its presentation to the specific (museum) space. The same idea applies to the parallel competition in sound art. The national restriction has also been dropped, and the new competitions are announced internationally. The closing date for submissions for both competitions is 17 May 2013. Two international prize-juries for video art and sound art will select the winners of the Marler Media Art Awards 2013, whose works will be exhibited in the Museum of Sculpture Glaskasten Marl. The awards ceremony of the Marler Media Art Awards 2013 and the exhibition opening will take place on 20 October 2013 in the Museum of Sculpture Glaskasten Marl. Marler Video Art Award 2013 The works submitted for the Video Art Award 2013 must relate thematically, formally or in its presentation to the specific (museum) space. Therefore its ideal presentation location should not be a cinema space. The spatial reference here also means avoiding linear narrative structures while featuring a different, non-linear temporal structure, such as a loop, which is ideal for presentation in a museum. While classic, single-channel videos on a monitor or projected on a screen remain acceptable, preference is given to multi-channel installations and installations extended through use of additional materials. Works submitted must have been produced after January 2010. Twenty works will be selected by the jury for the exhibition in the museum and will be presented together with the projects selected for the Sound Art Award 2013. From the German Klangkunst-Preis to the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD Since its inception in 2002, the German Klangkunst-Preis has been awarded to artistic works focusing specifically on fostering the creative use of space and sound. In addition to the intrinsic artistic quality, acoustic assurance and sculptural certainty are above all the criteria for assessment and evaluation. Beginning in 2014, the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD will expand the German Klangkunst-Preis onto a Europe-wide platform and include the entire genre of acoustic art. The 2013 competition already incorporates the European orientation, while remaining true to the constituting principles of the German Klangkunst-Preis. Thus, the title: From the German Klangkunst-Preis to the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD. This year's competition marks the founders' conclusion of the decade-long phase of the German Klangkunst-Preis. For the Klangkunst-Preis 2013, existing artworks based on spatially influenced sound creations should be entered. A jury of experts will select works for an exhibition in the Glaskasten Marl Museum of Sculpture, to open 20 October 2013. Additionally, the same jury members will also invite a number of competing artists to Marl in the summer of 2013 to develop a concept for the creative design of the city centre. One of these concepts will be selected for completion. The Klangkunst-Preis 2013 is to be awarded by the Museum of Sculpture Glaskasten Marl, Culture Radio wdr 3 and the Initiative Hören.

MANIFEST: 7th Annual MASTER PIECES
An Exhibit of Works by Current or Recent Graduate Students Deadline: June 3, 2013 Application fee: $12 CALL FOR ENTRIES Works by Current or Recent Graduate Students Deadline: June 3 Exhibit Dates: July 12 - August 9, 2013 Every year Manifest offers an opportunity for graduate students to exhibit at our gallery in Cincinnati. This seventh installment of the Master Pieces project will continue to reveal the intensity and professionalism of students working towards their terminal academic degree in the field of visual art or design. Often the most exceptional work comes out of these artists’ immersion in their culture of study and intellectual pursuit. Manifest’s goal, therefore, is to select works that in the truest sense of the word are contemporary masterpieces – works that set the standard of quality that the artist is expected to maintain throughout his or her professional career. The full-color exhibit catalog for this show will serve as a visual documentation of these artists’ own benchmarks for years to come. All three of Manifest's exhibit spaces will be devoted to the Master Pieces 7 exhibition installation allowing for a sweeping feature of the artists and works included. Eligibility: Master Pieces is open to current MFA/MA students or MFA/MA graduates since January 2012. If in doubt of eligibility contact Manifest to inquire. Media: Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including but not limited to: drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, installation, video, etc. Catalog: Manifest will produce a full-color catalog documenting the work in Master Pieces. Exhibitors will receive one free copy of the catalog. For examples of past catalogs visit the Manifest Press library.

The residency offers spacious studios for artists to realize large-scale, long-term projects and provides a collegial working environment. Studio residents are chosen yearly based upon a competitive portfolio submission application that is reviewed by a jury of New York based arts professionals and Triangle board members and staff. Each artist’s stay culminates in an Open Studio exhibition to which the general public is invited. Resident artists will also receive studio visits from critics, writers and curators. Although studio space is provided twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, free of charge, resident artists are responsible for all other expenses including housing, travel, materials and meals. In addition, artists are expected to spend a minimum of 15 hours a week working in their studio or will be asked to leave the program.

Both the Institut Francais and the Berlin Senate send up to two artists per year to work for one calendar year in dedicated studios at Triangle.

The residency period is August 1 - 21, 2013 Deadline: June 15, 2013 Number of artists: 2 - collaborations accepted General Information Toffia, a small and quiet medieval hilltop village in the middle of Sabina, about 60km NE of Rome. The residency is hosted within a renovated 13th Century church, now a theatre and the adjacent building. The space also hosts various cultural activities for the community (theatre, film screenings, concerts and various classes.) If otherwise Toffia emanates a tranquil, almost sleepy atmosphere, during the Arts Festival it transforms itself into a giant stage crowded with actors, musicians, street artists and artisans. The convivial atmosphere brings back every year many tourists attracted by the interactive scene, the beauty of the land and the delicious local cuisine. The 2013 Photography Residency offers artists a rare opportunity to experience the place and the people of Toffia in two very different manifestations, thus allowing for a deeper understanding of the multilayered social and cultural dynamics that are formed between people and places. Housing The artists will be housed in a private double occupancy room with full bathroom. Kitchen facilities are provided at the 33OC space. For additional information on the space and facilities at 33OC please go to 33oc.org. Artists' Costs There is no residency fee.
