For the 2007 festival a theme was chosen which is dealing with the protection of the natural environment. Artists are encouraged to submit works related to this subject, however it is not mandatory.

The Festival was founded and is organised by Rattlesnake Multimedia, an independantly working design company run dealing with video works, digital photo, web designs, net art, VJ and and other activities in the field of digital art.

The 1st festival took place in 2003 at CEC - Center for Contemporary Cultural Expressions located in the big store houses of the former harbour of Rosario which will be also the festival location in 2007, and became a big success including more than 600 from Argentina and abroad.

The Festival invites special guests: in 2003 it was ORLAN, the famous French contemporary artist, and the Argentine group around Vera Baxter.
In 2006, the 2nd festival, the special guest were the Canadian experimenatl media artist Nancy Nisbet and German media artist and New Media curator Wilfried Agricola de Cologne from Germany.

Calendar: Audio Calls

Landkreis Lüneburg Fachdienst Schule und Kultur
International Artists Residency Schloss Bleckede

The usual length of a residency is 3 or 6 months.
http://www.kuenstlerstaette-bleckede.de/index_e.ht


Since 1979 the Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede has been seeking to promote young artists who explore innovative positions in the field of contemporary art. Today artists, whose work addresses complex aesthetic, cultural or political issues, rarely find the necessary support to realize their ambitious projects. This is why the Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede wishes to offer these artists the opportunity to develop their work in the course of a residential scholarship of three or six months.

The Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede offers ideal working conditions. The historic remise of the castle of Bleckede has been restored and transformed into three studios, each of which provides an extensive work space and a comfortable living area. The castle is located in the nature reserve Elbufer Drawehn close to the river Elbe. The placid environment guarantees an atmosphere of undisturbed concentration. The scholarship includes a monthly grant of Euro 1.400,- , which is made available for up to three scholarship holders at any one time, by the state of Lower Saxony.

The city of Lüneburg is not far away. Here the innovative programme of exhibitions and events staged by the Kunstraum of the University of Lüneburg and the Halle für Kunst Lüneburg e.V. allows the participation in the contemporary art world. If required, the facilities of the cultural studies-course at the University of Lüneburg might be used.

Moreover Hamburg and Berlin is within easy reach, both of which have a thriving cultural life. The residential scholarship of the Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede is associated with the international exchange program Pépinières Européenes pour Jeunes Artistes.

The strictly spaces of time could only be modified (for example April till September or October till December), if an other artists will agree with a change.

The artistic council and the representatives of the borough of Lüneburg plan to finalise the awarding of residencies for the period of 2008 in October 2007.

Job: AKA Gallery seeks Community Programs Liason

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: COMMUNITY PROGRAMS LIAISON

Deadline for applications is OCTOBER 1, 2007

AKA Gallery is seeking a Community Programs Liaison to implement a
series of events to complement regular gallery programming. This
temporary, part-time job will take place from October 9, 2007 through
to February 12, 2008 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

In this position, the Community Programs Liaison will research, develop
and assist in the presentation of proactive programming adjunct to our
regular schedule of gallery exhibitions and events. With AKA's
resources at their disposal, including staff, board, volunteers, and
access to our partner organizations, the student will develop
workshops, panel discussions, lectures and other events specific to the
concerns, themes and needs of each AKA event. The opportunity to work
within a gallery that presents both gallery and performance programming
will be a definite asset in the Student’s cultural career.

Also, as we have moved into a new neighbourhood in the summer of 2005,
an important part of the Community Programs Liaison’s role with the
Gallery is to develop and/or strengthen new or current relations within
our new community. We have moved to a street front location and are
highly visible in our new neighborhood and hope to use our adjunct
programming as a means to garner support and create larger audiences.

Specific job objectives of the Community Programs Liaison are to
design, create, organize, budget for and carry through an ongoing
series of adjunct programming, while creating a structure for the
programs to continue on a long-term basis. Budgeting, liaising with
artists, scheduling, writing, liaising with the media, consulting with
the public, publicity, setup and delivery of programs are all aspects
of the project.

The successful candidate will be responsible, in coordination with
AKA’s Programme Coordinator and Administrative Coordinator, for
designing a working plan and carrying it through. This will involve
identifying potential partner organizations and institutions who may be
interested in working with AKA (publicity, financially, as a service to
their members, as a function of their mandate) to best capitalize on
our audiences and to make sure the exhibition is accessed by those who
may have a direct interest in its subjects or ideas. For example, for a
show addressing racism, we might partner with various cultural
organizations, schools, youth services organizations, or the police.
The student will contact and work with partners to identify and
establish mutually beneficial working arrangements and partnerships.

The Community Programs Liaison is expected to take a very ‘hands on’
approach and will be expected to be very visible within our new
community.

PREFERRED SKILL SETS & COMPATIBLE FIELDS OF STUDY

The selected student must be completing a Fine Art/Art History
post-secondary education, and show an interest in the non-profit side
of the cultural sector. They must have made a strong commitment to the
local arts community, particularly the Artist-Run community. A
background or training in Aboriginal culture and history is a major
asset.

Working knowledge of a Macintosh computer environment is essential;
database and graphics software experience are extremely beneficial. The
successful candidate will be a good team worker with above average
people skills. As this person will be developing and administering
programming in conjunction with existing programming and partners, a
high level of written and spoken English language proficiency is
required.

Volunteer, intern or work experience in other artist-run centres, arts
organizations, not-for profit organizations or galleries would be a
plus. Communication skills, writing skills and creative drive will be
strong characteristics of the chosen candidate, as will an ability to
be motivated and self-directed while remaining flexible and
accommodating to the needs of a diverse group.

One of AKA's main objectives is to reflect the cultural diversity of
Canadian society, particularly First Nations people. We have a strong
history of employing women, first nations people and other visible
minorities. Though our partnerships with local aboriginal organizations
and other cultural centres we will encourage participation by the
Government of Canada's job equity groups.

Call: Eyebeam Residency in New York

Eyebeam Residency New York

Mon Oct 1, 2007
(Eastern Time - Montreal)
http://eyebeam.org/production/production.php?page=aircall (map)
Calendar: Audio Calls

Eyebeam is now accepting applications for Winter 2008 residencies. In addition to our preexistent residency program, this season we're very pleased to announce an additional opportunity for artist support: the inaugural Commission for Resident Artists, underwritten by Dewar's. Details about the commission, which will offer an additional subsidy to two residents a season, are detailed in a separate section below.

The application deadline for the Winter 2008 residency season (which will run from January-June) has been extended to October 1, 2007. All applicants will be informed of their status by November 2007.

Eyebeam residencies support the creative research, production and presentation of initiatives that query art, technology and culture. The residency is a period of concentration and immersion in artistic investigation, daring research or experimental production of visionary expression, applications and projects. Past initiatives have ranged from moving image, sound and physical computing works to technical prototypes, installations and public interventions.

The ideal resident will both contribute to and benefit from the collective environment at Eyebeam, and will embrace the spirit of openness shared across the organization: open source, open content and open distribution.

Residents are encouraged to participate in public events including workshops, demonstrations of research in progress, panel discussions, and on-line releases, in addition to regularly scheduled open studio events. Therefore, we do ask that artists include in their proposal examples of how they might like to contribute to Eyebeam's public programming.

The program term is from January to June with the potential for extension and/or re-application. Residents will be selected from an open call, based on the quality of the work or research being proposed, the availability of the necessary tools and skills to support the work, and in consideration of the overarching research themes and activities of the organization.

Eyebeam's research themes bring together creative practitioners and expert external participants to develop new research leading to possible public outcomes including seminars, public discussion and exhibition.
Research themes for 2008 include (though will not be limited to):

* Energy, Technology and Sustainability
* Urban research, urban interventions and media in public space

Artists and creative technologists interested in these research areas are particularly encouraged to apply for residencies.


Eyebeam Residency
Residencies include:

* $5,000 honorarium
* 24/7 access to Eyebeam's Chelsea facility in New York City, including equipment and technical expertise from Eyebeam staff and Fellows
* The potential for collaborative exchange with other residents and Eyebeam fellows, as well as support from interns

Residents are encouraged to work onsite at Eyebeam for as much of their residency as possible, in order to both contribute to and gain from the collective, collaborative context of the labs.

International applicants are welcome to apply, though Eyebeam will not cover additional travel or accommodation expenses. We are, however, happy to work with selected applicants, to help them to secure funds to cover these expenses. International residents are responsible for securing their own visas for the residency period. International applicants are encouraged to apply now for Summer 2008 residencies.

Up to three residencies will be offered in Winter 2008.


Commission for Resident Artists

Eyebeam is pleased to announce the inaugural Commission for Resident Artists, which is being underwritten by Dewar's.
The Commission for Resident Artists includes:

* $10,000 honorarium
* Additional stipend for travel, accommodation, and equipment expenses
* 24/7 access to Eyebeam's Chelsea facility in New York City, including equipment and technical expertise from Eyebeam staff and fellows
* The potential for collaborative exchange with other residents as well as support from interns

In exchange, the commissioned resident artists are asked to:

* Commit to presentation of the process of creating the commission through a website and regular blog posts
* Commit to presentation of the finished commissioned work at the end of the residency

Two commissions will be awarded in Winter 2008: one to a foreign artist and one to an American artist. We are particularly interested in commissions which focus on open source outcomes.
In order to be considered for this opportunity, you must:

* Be at least 25 years old
* State your interest in being considered for the commission in the standard online residency application

Additionally, you must send a letter of nomination from a mentor, employer, collaborator or curator to residencyinfo AT eyebeam DOT org by the October 1, 2007, 2007 application deadline.

Deadline for applications: 3 October 2007, 9 am.
Collaboration period: from November 2007 to July 2008 (9 months)
To consult the rules and to apply on-line, go to: http://
www.disonancias.com


DISONANCIAS is pleased to announce the call for proposals from
international artists to work on joint research projects with heads
of R&D&I in companies and research centres located in the Basque
Country (Spain).

DISONANCIAS is a platform that promotes relationships between artists
and companies, research centres or public organisations in order to
foster innovation in all its aspects and transmit to society the
importance of developing creative environments.

Artists are requested to develop a prototype, procedure or idea based
on a framework predefined by one of the nine participating entities:
DORLET, EiTB, FUNDACIÓN IKERTIA, GRUPO SARKIS/LAGUNKETA, IMAR, LANIK,
LANTEGI BATUAK, POLO GARAIA and TECNALIA. The concepts they want to
investigate can be grouped in two main fields:

- concepts dealing with the organisation of territory and ways of
interrelating people and resources: sustainable urban environment
models (TECNALIA), ways of relating between disabled people
integrated into the job market and their social network (LANTEGI
BATUAK) or the interrelationship dynamics between the members of an
technological park (POLO GARAIA);

- technological or material application/developments: most of the
researches in this section deal with architecture and urban issues:
domotics (DORLET), interactive urban furniture (IMAR), environmental
architecture (GRUPO SARKIS / LAGUNKETA), transformable architecture
(LANIK), or health emergency in public spaces (FUNDACIÓN IKERTIA).

In the special case of EiTB (Basque Radio and Television), the artist
(s) is requested to research into the documentary format based on the
creation of an audiovisual work dealing with all the collaboration
projects.

The submitted proposals will be examined by an international jury
comprising Cecilia Andersson, Bronac Ferran, Jose Pérez de Lama and
Juan Mari Uzkudun. The final decision will be taken by the hosting
entities and will be communicated at the end of October 2007.

DISONANCIAS gives priority to the involvement of artists:
- interested in working around the interaction between different
social and cultural systems and projects that favour group work;
- who use science or technology as a basis for their work, or who
reflect upon it.

The call is open to artists working with any type of medium and in
any discipline, either individually or as a group. There is no limit
on age, nationality or place of residence.

The selected artists or group of artists will each receive the amount
of 8,000 net euros as a fee for the work carried out and for their
travel and accommodation costs. The costs that may be generated in
the development of the research work and associated with external
companies and suppliers should not exceed 5,000 euros + VAT, and they
should be previously approved by the hosting entity.

Full information on the participating companies and research centres,
on the concepts they want to investigate, and on the rules for
participation is available at http://www.disonancias.com.

DISONANCIAS is sponsored by the SPRI / the Basque Government
(Industry, Trade and Tourism Department) and promoted by Grupo
