Call: Studio XX seeks women media artists for residencies and co-productions
Residency and Co-Production Programs at Studio XX
www.studioxx.org
Call for Proposals : Residency and Co-Production Programs at Studio XX
Extended Deadline for 2008-2009 : April 15th.
Projects selection is announced at the end of April of each year.
Studio XX has redefined its Residency and Co-Production Program in keeping with the diversity of approaches that have been brought about by new and multiple methodologies and processes being practiced by artists working with new media and the Web as creative platforms. Residencies are offered each year through three major axes identified below. We've done it in order to offer an improved context within which Québecois and Canadian women artists may conceptualize and create, and to better accommodate the evolving realities of contemporary networked practices.
Residency Program
This year, the residences are theme-free. All themes are eligible for consideration. That said, we favour projects taking into account the Studio's orientation and commitment to open source software.
*NEW*
The Matricules Project Residency
This new category of residency is centered around the use of the Studio XX archives as source material for a proposal. Last year, Studio XX embarked on a major archival project called Matricules which will allow the Studio to post all of its archival material to date online. It is at once an image bank and a depository of all of the Studio's writings and documentary footage to date.
Despite the fact that online access to these archives will only be available as of April 1, this should not prevent you from conceptualizing a proposal. All of the original source material is also available at the Studio. The Matricules Project is comprised of more than 3400 images files, sounds, videos, written critical texts and press releases documenting all our artistic streams: The Femmes Br@nchées Salons, The Artist Residencies, Co-productions and Collaborations, Projects and Special Events, training workshops, the HTMlles Festival, XX Files radio interviews and .dpi articles. The Matricules Project data base allows the user to cross-reference individual artists, events and documents, switching from one event to another. Matricules' main interface offers an image table of contents by event type and by month, providing historical trajectory of the Studio's activities.
This innovative prototype was developed with assistance from Koumbit's Drupal Content Management System (CMS): an open source tool for web site creation. From the beginning, the Matricules project was conceived as an interactive archive allowing users to modify or correct the Studio's written history, where necessary. When the site is completed, it will ultimately be a very powerful archival, presentation and interpretation tool for Studio XX's members.
Virtual Residency
In response to a growing demand by women artists working outside of the Montreal region wishing to explore the different possibilities of on-line and/or networked collaborations, Studio XX is in the process of elaborating the mechanics of Virtual Residencies in order to facilitate the creation of works via other networks.
Open Residency
Open and self-directed, these residencies offer access to women artists wishing to deepen the experimentation phase of projects they are currently developing.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
Studio XX favours interdisciplinary approaches and welcomes projects created or directed by women artists or collectives working in collaboration with other professionals. This axis responds to the growing number of trans-disciplinary projects and their inherent technological challenges and complexities. Selected projects must be undertaken using Studio's available resources (equipment, technical knowledge, financial resources).
All submissions are reviewed by a Selection Committee. Selection of applicants is also based on at least two out of the three following criteria:
- Offering significant support and at an important point of the artist's development
- Resonant with Studio XX's priorities in terms of technical experimentation
- Relevant, captivating expression of theoretical, political and/or social engagement
Residencies are eight weeks in length. For accepted proposals, Studio XX offers:
_A $750 artist's fee
_45 hours of technical support ($1125 value)
_Access to the Studio's equipment ($3335 rental value)
_Possibility to participate in certain group workshops ($200-300 value)
_Distinct working space for the artist and her instructor
Studio XX will disseminate the artist's project on its web site, with an artist's presentation to be given within its Femmes br@nchées Salon Series in the year following completion of the project. For participants working from afar, the presentation will take place on-line via streaming or chat. Residencies do not include travel costs and per diem, and the artist is responsible for her living arrangements while in Montreal.

Co-Production Program
All year long, Studio XX accepts co-production proposals from artists as well as from collectives and artist-organizations. Emerging and experienced artists working with new technologies and curators are invited to submit project ideas including technical specifications.
The Studio provides a Linux lab and Macs, video an digital audio resources. Projects are selected based on quality, the availability of the lab and technical requirements. Co-productions carried out at Studio XX demand full autonomy from the artists on both a conceptual and technical level. These residencies require autonomy on the conceptual and technical level but if necessary, the Studio can provide personalized technical support at the hourly rate of $25. The projects can stretch over a three-month period.
During the residency, the artists will have access to Studio XX's computer, video and digital audio equipment. They will also have access to available space on one of the large bandwidth servers - ideal for network experiments and webcasting - and to a dispatcher for wireless Internet connections. It will be necessary to provide a fixed schedule and to book time in the lab.
It is possible for the Studio to cover certain expenses for co-productions, such as training fees. The productions and co-productions are not housed on our web site but we do direct the artists towards servers that can accommodate their work. Studio XX actively seeks to program artworks produced within the co-productions at events as the Femmes br@nchées Salon series.
