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.

CALL FOR ELECTROACOUSTIC WORKS BY WOMEN COMPOSERS for"Inclusive Voices" Festival

CALL FOR ELECTROACOUSTIC WORKS BY WOMEN COMPOSERS


7th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S ELECTROACOUSTIC LISTENING ROOM PROJECT (WEALR)


Postmark Deadline: Dec. 15th, 2007
7th Annual Festival of New Music
California State University, Fullerton


Inclusive Voices: Healing the Divide
February 28 - March 2, 2008


Featuring:
Miya Masaoka, Composer, Performer, Sound Artist, Koto and electronics,
International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project SO
Percussion Ensemble with Lisa Moore, pianist from Bang on a Can,
Martin Bresnick, Guest Composer with SO and CSUF Symphony Orchestra,
Bora Korkmaz and Fureya Unal, flute and piano duo from Turkey, Pamela
Madsen and Ken Walicki, Co-Directors


This year's 7th Annual New Music Festival is a landmark year. After 6
years of celebrating Women in New Music the festival will move to an
inclusive format - celebrating works by women composers alongside
works by men composers! We look for inclusive in programming and works
that bridge the divide between gender, culture, media.


After careful consideration, the one thing that will remain intact is
the International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project. As I
have traveled throughout the US, Canada and Europe with the
International Women´s Electroacoustic Listening Room Project I have
found that this is an area of vital research and empowerment for women
composers internationally and needs to be continued. This year's call
for electroacoustic works by women composers focuses on theme of
"healing."


International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project: The
Women in New Music Festival features day-long playback of works by
women in electroacoustic music. During the 6 hours of the
electroacoustic listening room the listener's mind is immersed in the
sounds of diverse compositional voices of women composers in
electroacoustic music from over 20 different countries from around the
globe.


The Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room strives to present a
diverse sampling of different approaches to electronic music, with
examples from classical computer music, environmental music, and
meditative music to works that expand acoustic virtuosity and
improvisation with virtual instruments to sonic documentaries that
capture the inner workings of the mind: horror, humor and the
unfolding of human dramas. This year the Women's Electroacoustic
Listening Room focuses on the theme of Inclusive Voices: Healing the
Divide.


Submit your proposed CD recording of electronic work for inclusion in
the International Women´s Electroacoustic Listening Room Project.
Maximum length 12 minutes.


Please include: CD of proposed work, submission information: Title of
work, length of work, name of composer, contact information, program

Callout: "Testing the Waters" Video Screening at the Her-icane 2007 festival

Testing the Waters – Submission Call Deadline : Friday,, January 12,, 2007

Her-icane GoDiva, in collaboration with Paved Arts, is calling for
single-channel video and film productions with a feminist perspective.

Testing the Waters is the first in what we hope will be an annual screening
series of feminist film and video as part of the Her-icane GoDiva, the
Annual Festival of Women's Art in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The history of feminism is often delineated in terms of "waves". From the
Suffragettes to Gloria Steinem to Naomi Wolfe, these three political waves
have often been characterized by a single catch-phrase (Ban the Bra), a
sensational act or a charismatic leader in popular culture. So where is the
next wave? Are we witnessing a feminist low tide?

Testing the Waters is seeking film and video productions that reflect
current trends and concerns of contemporary feminism or examine the history
of this movement.

Application Process & Categories

Applicants should apply to one of two categories: Established or Emerging.

An established artist is one who:
-has completed at least two pieces of artistic work
-has had work selected for public exhibition by jury or professional
selection
-is recognized as such by her peers.

An emerging artist is one who:
-has completed basic training, which could be informal or an apprenticeship;
-has completed at least one artistic work.

Work will be considered in both categories.
* All lengths and genres of work will be considered.

send master copies.
