The Institute for Human Sciences and ERSTE Foundation encourage translators in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Studies to apply for the prestigious Paul Celan Fellowship. The program aims to overcome deficits and asymmetries in the exchange of ideas and reception of scholarly literature which result from the division of Europe in the 20th century. Therefore, the Paul Celan Fellowships support Western to Eastern translations, or between two Eastern European languages, and especially Eastern to Western translations of canonical texts and contemporary key works in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Studies. Special emphasis is put on translations of relevant works written by East European authors and/or by female gendered scholars. A thematic relation to one of the IWM’s research fields is likewise welcomed.

In the last ten years, interactive media have increasingly become part of the exciting new field of computational culture. Computation can no longer remain the property of specialised expertise. We believe that coding, programmability and modelling are investing culture by operating as open-source forms of knowledge, aesthetic and power. Interactive media are for us agents of computational cultures ready to re-formalise the way in which we see theory and practice.

Manifest continues its eighth season with an exhibit seeking works which explore the theme of plant life (using formal or conceptual methods). These may be in ways that are quite straightforward, or which are abstract, conceptual or in other ways surprising or inventive. Manifest is eager to see just how artists make work of any media or genre (painting, drawing, collage, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, video, and non-traditional art, etc.) using plant life as a source of inspiration and exploration.

An International Exhibit Exploring the Theme of Plant Life

Deadline: March 7, 2012

At one time the world of living things was classified into two simple groups, plants and animals. Botany concerned itself with the study of plants. We are linked to these, our earthly cousins, in so many ways. As a planetary phenomenon we take for granted that to our yin the plants provide the yang. We breath in oxygen and out carbon dioxide, they absorb carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Clearly an elegant arrangement was agreed upon by the forces of the Universe to arrive at such a symbiosis. Whether it be the form of organic plant life, or the concept of its functionality, the implications of its shared existence with humanity, or its clever ability to convert sunlight into food, plant life is as fascinating as it is beautiful. In the context of contemporary society it is interesting to consider what this can mean in the hands of artists.

Experience Experiments
•Application Deadline

10.03.2012

Intrigued by the emotional content of a tear, an ongoing element of my work involves the systematic collecting of tears from the public, making an homeopathic remedy from the collected tears; as each tear is a like a snowflake has its own unique fingerprint. This project was started during my degree, from research into water memory in the form of an installation 'Teardrops in Wonderscape'. I am now exploring this in other directions; One is with a chemistry department and the other is with a homeopath.

The remedies will be made as visual artwork and then given as a homeopathic remedy within the homeopathic framework. The entire process - from tritration to proving - will be documented, as well as work created from the research. The project will culminate in an installation and book.

It will be anonymous, you can include a note about your tears if you wish but there will be no published details about your tears; pain or joy.

Please see http://www.ruthlegear.com/ for more details.

The Structure Of Liquid Water
Novel Insights From Materials Research
and its Potential Relevance To Homeopathy.
By Ruth Le Gear

artist currently staying in Berlin with culturia programme
http://culturia.de/ruth-le-gear/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need people to collect tears for a number of experiments; happy
tears, sad tears, tears of grief and joy. If you wish to donate your
tears please contact me at ruthlegear @ gmail.com
and I will send you a tear collecting package

Deadline to sign is March 10th
and to send the tears back by March 30th.

Part of my practice explores water and homeopathy and the intersections where this exploration becomes a synesthaesic metaphor within a formal artistic framework.

I intend to collect experience, creating aesthetic metaphors, making
the intangible tangible. This concept will be explored for my part through different media, sound, photography, video installation...

Visit: The artist in residence programm of the REW Foundation
•Application Deadline

31.03.2012

The »visit« programme of the RWE Foundation promotes young artists by offering them a free space for pursuing individual design work. At the invitation of the Foundation, the selected artists develop their respective project over a period of about three months. Depending on the topic, this takes place at a German or also possibly an international location of the company. The artistic work should have an explicit reference to RWE, the topic of energy, and its social relevance. The objective of the programme is to initiate a reciprocal involvement between the company and artists. Interdisciplinary approaches and switching perspectives promote the understanding of different lines of thought and help us to learn from one another.
