2024 Artist Residency Program on Kacalisian Art Village
Taiwan / PingtungDeadline 2024.04.30
Theme Ecology, a Contemplation - Events, Attitudes and Others Events are always new things that occur unexpectedly, disrupting any existing stable framework. Following the curation of the "Healing as a Method" and "Nature as a Gift" exhibitions in the previous two years of the Guandu International Nature Art Festival, Guandu Nature Park attempts to respond to the post-COVID-19 era by considering "nature" as an alternative solution to restoring social order (we try to return and create emotional connections with nature). We seem to need to reconsider the reality we face after the COVID-19 event: Meaning, after facing such an event (with significant impacts on human ecology), besides gradually restoring established social order and the international community's responses regarding "sustainability," we also try to further contemplate how to respond to the various impacts and changes brought about by environmental changes after the event through art and curation. Here, we need to approach it from a more "ecological" perspective: for example, the concept of sustainability in the environment. "Sustainability" in the ecological sense refers to various organisms' competitive actions to maintain survival within the ecosystem, allowing most materials to circulate internally to achieve a balance. Therefore, thinking about things from an ecological perspective means reflecting on the various factors and conditions of the environment and the interrelationships between various biological behaviors or actions in the environment. It is a more holistic and dynamic process of contemplation. The role and function of art at this level are also aspects worthy of exploration. Call for Artists In 2024, we aim for a clearer declaration and emphasis on the reconstruction of the relationship between humans and the environment, seeking the concept of sustainability. What kind of attitude and action will we adopt towards ecology, and what values will we convey to the participating public? When ecology becomes the attitude of artists, it manifests as a reflection on ecological observations, inspiring future generations to actively engage in society for the public good, using art to change the environment and people's attitudes. Therefore, the curatorial theme for 2024, "Ecology as a Contemplation," is an invitation—an invitation for artists and the public to collectively contemplate the current environmental situation, embarking on a journey home with ecological care as the starting point. Creative Goal The format of creation is unrestricted and may include interdisciplinary contemporary art, visual art, installation art, etc. The use of natural materials is preferred for media, and the creative process must comply with environmentally friendly principles. The works created should convey the values of habitat creation and biodiversity, the connections between the ecology, birds, and human interactions surrounding Guandu, and should trigger awareness of ecological conservation. The creative concept and presentation of the works should emphasize their artistic nature. Read More: http://www.guandu-natureart.tw/news/531

Taiwan / TaipeiIn addition to serving as a distinctive art and cultural space in Kaohsiung, Pier-2 is also a recreation area for the public, drawing huge crowds with its open and multi-purpose space. The Pier-2 Art Center develops as an international art platform in Taiwan, focusing on avant-garde, experimental, and original artistic endeavors. Consisting of merely two warehouses in the beginning, it has now grown into an area with a total of 25 structures that are grouped into Dayong Warehouse, Penglai Warehouse, and Dayi Warehouse. Besides a variety of art exhibitions and performances, spaces are also utilized for experimental theater and small-scale popular music concerts as well as cultural development that Pier-2 actively invites the cultural and creative arts sector to participate in. The Pier-2 Art Center Artist-in-Residence Program (PAIR) designates a section of Dayi Warehouse as the dedicated space for resident artists and artistic groups. A 33-square-meter creation space (complete with a bathroom) and a 17-square-meter attic for living space are available for artists to create artworks, which we hope will add vitality to Pier-2 and foster a platform for art and cultural exchanges and performances. The residency plan must incorporate aspects of Kaohsiung's local culture, geographic environment, cultural landscape, social conditions, and other relevant issues. The artworks created accordingly should be exhibited by the end of the residency. All forms of artistic expression are acceptable.

France / ValenceApplications are open for the Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship at Girton College. This unique collaborative opportunity is open to artists internationally and is not confined to any single aesthetic, theme or medium. Artists with no previous experience of working with scientists or in a scientific environment are particularly encouraged to apply. We are seeking adventurous artists who explore alternative ways of knowing the world, and who work with communities that are not privileged in the mainstream. The fellowship offers opportunities for playful experimentation, and the space to re-imagine beyond conventional artistic and scientific boundaries. The Fellowship will run for one year from October 2024 to October 2025, with a residency period in Cambridge typically of at least six months. The Fellowship supports the Cavendish Arts Science ethos of experimenting, decentring and re-imagining. It is designed for artists to develop thought-provoking ideas through engagement with physicists and those in other fields, and to experiment with new approaches to their practice that are transformative and push boundaries. It is delivered through a partnership between Cavendish Arts Science, an initiative of the Cavendish Laboratory for Physics and Girton College, University of Cambridge, thanks to the vision and support of Una Ryan.
