International Call for Art Show Juried by Gary Hill, Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle
•Application Deadline

04.12.2011

From December 29, 2011 – March 18, 2012, CoCA will present its 22nd annual juried exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in a wide variety of visual media. While there is no theme this year as such, we’re hunting for work that experiments and explores in general, crossing disciplinary boundaries, challenging established notions of time and space, cultural production, and the objet d’art itself.

CoCA has presented the Annual since 1989, each time inviting an independent juror to select the work from among the entries received. For this year’s 22nd anniversary of the show, CoCA is proud to have Gary Hill as juror.

Please note that selected work must be shipped to the gallery by December 23. CoCA insures work during exhibition, but shipping to/from, as well as shipping insurance remain the responsibility of the artist. Call (001) (206) 851-9641 or email david@cocaseattle.org for more information.

There will be an opening reception on Thursday, December 29, at CoCA’s Georgetown gallery located inside the Seattle Design Center at 5701 6th Avenue South, Seattle WA 98108. http://www.seattledesigncenter.com/

Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit.

Two-dimensional, three-dimensional and multi-media work will be considered. A $500 first prize and a $250 second prize will be awarded by the juror, as well as up to two “honorable mentions” featured on CoCA’s website. A catalog of the show will feature artists’ statements, biographies, and images, as well as an introductory essay by Gary Hill. In addition to having all participating artists archived on CoCA’s website, there will also be an opportunity to place work in CoCA’s new online store.

Open call: culturia aritst in residence program based in Berlin
•Application Deadline

05.12.2011

idea and program
culturia is a twofold: an art residency and a non-material collection. Strategically declining in its approach to pure studio practice, culturia invites artists to present projects in close relation between process and presentation.

The main point of the program is to enhance the internal development of the artist during the short-term residency, which can be more valuable than a production of new objects. Following this vision culturia has opened, parallel to the realization of the artist’s proposal, a construction of a document that seeks for the understanding of an ideal point of view on art. Here, the approach and medium are chosen by the artist as long as the statement remains “visible” to others.


open call for artists and researchers
deadline: 5th December 2011
residency period: 1st February– 31st April 2012

culturia is a residency program based in Berlin

culturia has been building its networks since 2005 and has progressively changed from a residency using temporary spaces in Berlin to develop into an experimental place where the practice of exploring artistic process became the concept.

open to Artists and researchers. No restrictions on media.

Theme
From the magic mushroom to parsley

Workshop by
ATHINA ANTONIADO

Within the last few years living in Berlin, the capital of the Arts as many people will call it, I watched art adopt a role as a desirable lifestyle and ignoring the fundamental responsibility we have as artists, to counteract the negative energies of our time. War, the destruction of the earth, competition and lies are forcing us to become more selfish, more materialistic and more closed to our little enjoyable lives.

My interest with this talk is to plant a seed for the construction or even the dis-construction of 'reality' into a better, more functional world. We will start from the time...before history and move through it till today...hopefully I will be able to inspire a change in how we see ourselves and each other...and ultimately, together, we could turn the world into imagination.

Open Call for Submissions: The Chicago Torture Justice Memorials
•Application Deadline

10.12.2011

Attention Artists, Architects, Photographers, Writers, Poets, Musicians, Performers and everyone concerned with justice. We invite artists and those who seek justice of all kinds to submit proposals for a speculative monument to memorialize the Chicago Police torture cases. Our goal is to honor the survivors of torture, their family members and the African American communities affected by the torture. The monument will also recall and honor the nearly two-decades long struggle for justice waged by torture survivors and their families, attorneys, community organizers, and people from every neighborhood and walk of life in Chicago. These memorial projects will serve as a public reckoning with police torture in Chicago and honor those who fought to stop it. We welcome proposals that exhibit radical imagination – they may critically examine the usefulness and limitations of monuments themselves while exploring the issues of reparations, truth and reconciliation, and justice.

Criteria for proposals:
A proposed monument may take any form – from architecture to haiku, from website to mural, from community organization to performance, from bronze plaque to large-scale memorial.

Submission process: the submission can be in the form of a PDF, PPT, webpage, or other accessible electronic format. Non-electronic submissions will also be accepted; please contact justicememorials@gmail.com to arrange delivery or mail to:

Chicago Torture Justice Memorial Project (CTJM Project)
c/o People’s Law Office

The Location
In the forested Treptower Park along the Spreeriver in East Berlin, find an abandoned amusement park. Built by the GDR in 1969, Kulturpark Planterwald was a site for Eastern Bloc amusement and exchange.

Perhaps you have been there since, and have already hopped the fence and explored this jungle of collapsed thrill machines.

C/O BERLIN - Talents
•Application Deadline

16.12.2011

Talents is an international competition held annually. The jury of professional judges selects four photographers and four art critics each year from the submitted entries. Their work is presented in four solo exhibitions at C/O Berlin over the course of the year and at the Goethe Institute in New York City. Each solo exhibition is accompanied by a publication in which images and text enter into dialogue: talented young artists present themselves and their projects to a broad public, open up their work for discussion, and thus create a public forum.

In 2012 too, the Talents series will focus on the theme of Cinematic Thinking. Engagement with the medium of film has become ever more central to photography in recent years. This can be seen in the increasing exploration of film production processes, experimentation with narrative structures, and references to film aesthetics and film myths.

More info: http://www.co-berlin.info/program/talents/application.html
info@co-berlin.com

Who can apply?
Photographers and art critics up to the age of 35.
Photographers can submit up to 15 samples of their work in print form – maximal size DIN A4, no originals. A short project description should accompany the photographs, as well as the online application form:

Urban Research: Open call for film and video works!
•Application Deadline

20.12.2011

The program Urban Research, curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr for Directors Lounge 2012, reaches beyond the genre "city films". Contemporary artists are engaged in local politics, they are concerned with specific urban problems and developments, and they are directly interacting with the public with performances and public interventions. Due to rapid changes of urban environment, place is no more a reliable urban structure connected with consistency and collective memory. Place must be reinvented and newly defined over and over, and this does not only apply for spaces of temporary use. Public space in the sense of social interchange and interaction — as well as just a space free to use — is not a given opportunity any more, which can be taken for granted. International artists address these themes and issues with a variety of forms, experimental, documentary, abstract, and narrative; they intervene directly or they show there visions of public space, and a new urban landscape.

The International Drawing Annual is open to any artist submitting original works of art or design created within the past three years (2009 - 2011). Professionals and students in ALL disciplines are encouraged to submit. Manifest is eager to receive works of drawing in a wide range of applications (technical, graphic, fine art, design, architectural, digital, illustration, etc.) with the qualification being that artwork submitted is representative of high quality "drawing."


Media (artwork)
Open to any media applicable to the practice of drawing including but by no means limited to traditional drawing media. Printmaking, digital/new media, photography, sculpture, painting, installation, etc., are all possibly valid.
