Praxis Art Actuel lance son appel de dossiers pour la programmation du Bloc 8. Ce Bloc se tiendra du printemps à l’automne 2014.
Nous invitons les artistes professionnels à proposer des projets innovants qui s’éloignent du cadre habituel d’exposition, s’infiltrent dans l’espace public et s’inspirent des caractéristiques du lieu dans lequel ils se retrouvent afin de le questionner, de l’interpréter, de le modeler et de le transformer.
Les projets peuvent toucher à la fois à des particularités et des caractéristiques géographiques, sociales, économiques ou culturelles de la Ville de Sainte-Thérèse ou de la région des Laurentides.
Les artistes sont ainsi invités à redéfinir des problématiques liées à leur démarche artistique ou approfondir certaines facettes de leur pratique.
Praxis Art Actuel s’intéresse aux processus de création axés sur le travail in situ ou in socius, en lien avec des groupes (individus, étudiants, travailleurs, commerçants…), des organismes, des espaces, des lieux ou des territoires considérés dans leur spécificité.

Production Residency and Exhibition Residency
La Bande Vidéo is inviting artists working in media arts (or artists seeking to experiment with videographic media) to submit proposals for production residencies. The artist-in-residence program is available to artists working in Canada and abroad. La Bande Vidéo supports work by artists who are interested in moving the discipline forward.

The University of Alberta/Li Ka Shing Foundation Public Art Commission
Deadline: December 17, 2012, 5:00 pm
The Li Ka Shing (Canada) Foundation and the University of Alberta have announced a $200,000 commission for a work of public art to be situated on the university’s campus in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
In 2010, the University of Alberta was the recipient of a generous gift of $28 million from the Li Ka Shing (Canada) Foundation. Along with funding from the Government of Alberta, the donation—the largest cash gift in the university’s history—led to the establishment of the Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology, housed within the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation.
The University of Alberta/Li Ka Shing Foundation Public Art Commission will result in the creation of a major work of public art to enhance the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation. The building, located at the corner of 87 Ave. and 112 St., is designed as a flexible space that supports current and future research and teaching needs.
Stage One of the $200,000 commission project is an international call to artists to submit a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The deadline for RFQ submissions is December 17, 2012. Up to five finalists will be short-listed based on qualifications for Stage Two, the Request for Proposals. The commission will be managed by University of Alberta Museums, in accordance with the University of Alberta Museums and Collections Policy.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Seeking video work for a curated project by Suzanne Carte & Su-Ying Lee (Under New Management) taking place in March 2013 at ODD Gallery at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture (KIAC) in Dawson City, Yukon. The exhibition will take the form of a video rental store that carries artists’ videos. The project employs the characteristics of the retail environment to connect to the local community while, challenging the gallery’s role as an intermediary that delimits the viewer’s direct access to art. “Customers” are asked to pay what they wish, which can be interpreted as cash, a non-monetary exchange, critique, or no remuneration. This facet is in place as an experimental form of engagement, where artists have the opportunity to receive responses directly from viewers. In turn, the viewer has an uncommon channel to the artist. In addition to payment, rental and return are also on an honour-system basis therefore removing barriers that exist due to membership, deposit, and return policies at commercial ventures.
Background
This is the second iteration of the Under New Management video “rental” store. As part of a larger exhibition/project, the first store took place in Toronto from August 3-14, 2010. This method of disseminating video art to the general public was exceptionally popular during its short run.
For information about the project visit: http://www.mediafieldsjournal.org/storage/issue1/Hogan/Media-Fields-1-Hogan.pdf
http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/839799–queen-west-has-a-surprise-in-store
Terms
Your DVD will be loaned to anyone who wishes to borrow it. Customers will pay whatever they wish and any fee collected for your work will be sent to you. The video will be archived in the Video Store Rental collection for future exhibitions.
Submissions
We are accepting work on DVD immediately. Feel free to send several titles.
-Any duration, style and genre
-Package your submission in a 191 x 135 mm DVD case
-Front of case: label image, artist’s name and title
-Back of case: synopsis and duration and any other info you wish to include i.e. short bio, website
-Work will be loaned to the general public. It is crucial that you note if your title contains any explicit language, nudity, sex or violence. This will not prevent your title from being selected for inclusion. This information will be used to make our « customers » aware of content

Katherine Hayles have insisted on the inherent performativity of digital text: ‘Less an object than an event, the digital text emerges as a dance between artificial and human intelligences, machine and natural languages as these evolve together through time’. But in the main, analysis or investigation of performance is restricted to the relationship between the text output (on the interface or projected into a performance space) and the live body either responding performatively to that text, or else generating text through performance. There has been little attempt to enfold an understanding of digital text performance within the wider context of the ‘turn to performance’ that has taken place among the humanities in recent decades. It is against this background of performance studies, ordinary language philosophy and speech act theory, the ethnography of ritual, the performance of self and gender, and performance writing, that this issue of Performance Research will interrogate how writing performs in digital media.
While not excluding the investigation of live performance and its relation to digital writing and texts, the issue seeks to broaden the scope of the inquiry to include:
• interactivity between digital language and the body
• the performative gesture(s) of the hand and fingers (digital text) on the interface,
• the performativity of language itself on the screen,
• social performance or how digital texts ‘perform’ us,
• the performance of codes and scripting,
• machinic performance, i.e. what does the engineer mean by performance.
In other words, we will be looking at the different modes of performance as they are manifest across the whole digital environment (dispositif). In order to give a fuller account of this complex of performative modes, we will also be investigating how they interact and collaborate with each other.
This issue of Performance Research seeks to contribute to and develop research on the relationship between performance and digital writing/ text that has begun within the pan-European collaborative research project, ELMCIP (Electronic Literature as a Model of Innovation and Creativity in Practice 2010-13). It is also building on the long-standing interest that the journal has taken in writing in its several and varied relationships to performance.
If this is your area of interest, either as a practitioner or a theorist, please send a proposal (no more than one side of A4) for unpublished and critical articles (between 2,000 and 6,000 words), interviews, documents or artist’s pages which position, interrogate, theorise or practice digital writings in relation to performance.

Beers.Lambert Award for Emerging Art
7th June 2012 – 31st December 2012
Beers.Lambert Contemporary announces a new award for emerging artists worldwide: the First Annual Beers.Lambert Award for Emerging Art is a prize awarded to up to 8 emerging, contemporary artists working in all disciplines and open to artists internationally.
As one of its primary operating initiatives, Beers.Lambert’s artist-support program has always believed in nurturing emerging artists and celebrating excellence in emerging contemporary art. Now, our newest initiative coincides with our gallery relocation to its brand new space on Baldwin Street at Old Street in the heart of the East London. The Beers.Lambert Award for Emerging Artwas born and devised as a method to recognize outstanding achievement and/or promise in the arts and to present emerging artists with a unique exhibition opportunity in London, and offer international exposure to under-represented artists to help them succeed.
The award is fully intended to acknowledge and celebrate an outstanding group of artists in each of the primary artistic disciplines by offering (monetary and non-monetary) recognition for international emerging artists who can be seen as shaping the direction of contemporary art through commitment and dedication to their artistic practice. The purpose of the award is to recognize progression, innovation, excellence and ‘general talent’ in 4 predominating artistic fields: painting and drawing; photography and 2D; sculpture, installation and 3d; as well as a final multidisciplinary category that acknowledges video art, performance, new-media, and other formsthat may defy classification. By way of open call and juried selection, the award will be given to two artists working within each discipline – one primary and one secondary recipient will be awarded in each category to a total of 8 awarded artists – who not only meet, but excel within the given criteria. The 4 primary award recipients will each receive $1,000USD and the 4 secondary award recipients will each receive $250USD. Furthermore, all 8 of the awarded artists (primary and secondary) works will be exhibited at Beers.Lambert Contemporary in 2013, and their work will be featured extensively on our website and other such promotional material. One or more of the awarded artists will be offered a solo exhibition with the gallery in the Fall 2013 exhibition programme. * To get involved in the futures of promising emerging artists and become a sponsor or donor for this award, please contact info [arobas] beerslambert [point] com

Beam Camp Seeks Proposals for Spectacular Projects
Worldwide call seeks ideas from Engineers, Architects, Designers, Sculptors, Builders, Agriculturists, Videographers, Technologists, Artists and Makers of all kinds
Past Project Images: http://flic.kr/s/aHsj5LFz65
Proposal Submission Info and Form: http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/
Beam Camp, the summer camp for the fine and manual arts, technology and collaboration, today opens its annual international search to find its 2013 Beam Projects. The large-scale collaborative projects are realized by Beam campers, aged 7-17, and staff at the camp’s 106-acre facility in Strafford, New Hampshire.
Projects are budgeted at $10,000. Winning designers receive a $2,500 honorarium and are invited to visit camp during the project’s production.
Proposals can be submitted on the Beam Camp website until Friday, January 11, 2013 with Semi-finalists announced on January 18, 2013. (submission page: http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/).
Beam offers these prompts for proposals:
– Project should be big and ambitious and result in a unique and spectacular product.
– Project Master should have experience in executing the kind of idea proposed.
– Projects should take advantage of Beam’s outdoor space and rural location, but need not be about camp, children or nature.
Beam Camp Co-Director Danny Kahn says of the Project, “it’s a chance for kids to walk around inside the mind of a designer of big things and systems. The kids get to learn project-specific making skills and practice the tools of collaboration, and more importantly see how to bring to life a passionately held and expertly developed idea.”
The Beam Projects for summer 2012 reflected Beam’s core emphasis on cultivating creative thinking and applied collaborative work. In “Creature Quake,” Beam Project 2012.1, landscape architects Rachel Kunreuther and Douglas Stookey’s proposal, Beam campers and staff constructed enormous creatures in earth, sky and lake. In “Navigating Dreams,” Beam Project 2012.2, proposed by Matthew Springett Associates, Beam campers and staff created a night sky of LED constellations controlled and navigated by a boat-machine.
Previous winners include Caitlin Berrigan’s “Macro/Micro Domes,” Steve Gerberich and Nathaniel Lieb’s “Beam Fleet,” Jan Drojarski and Jon Bocksel’s “Jungletopia,” Christine Baumgartner and Manuel Kretzer’s “Float With The Flowers,” the solar-powered film “A Trip to the Sun” by Daniela Kostova and Mike DeSeve, WIgnall & Moore’s “The Stories of Machines That Never Flew” and “The Habitats of Parker Mountain” by pragmatopia and architecture students of the University of Kassel, Germany.
ABOUT BEAM CAMP Beam Camp offers two 4 week summer sessions for kids aged 7-17 in Strafford, New Hampshire. Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design and the creative process. They swim, hike, play games and enjoy 750 acres of mountain, forests and lakes, while transforming ideas into artifacts and personal achievement into community success.

International call for proposals for 2013 residency on Andrea Zittel’s Indy Island Deadline: Friday, January 11, 2013 Indianapolis Museum of Art 4000 Michigan Road Indianapolis, IN 46208 www.imamuseum.org/islandresidency Twitter
The Indianapolis Museum of Art is issuing a call for proposals for a six-week summer 2013 residency on Andrea Zittel’s Indy Island within the IMA’s 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park. Graduate and undergraduate students and professionals in the fields of art, design, architecture and performing arts are encouraged to apply to customize and reside on Indy Island. Anchored in the 35-acre lake within 100 Acres, Indy Island is a habitable, « off-the-grid » structure accessible by rowboat. At about 20 feet in diameter, the island serves as an experimental living structure that examines our daily needs. Residents collaborate with Zittel by adapting and modifying the island’s structure according to their individual needs. Despite Indy Island’s inherent limitations, the structure and residency are relatively open-ended. The aims of past projects were diverse, including: • In 2010, Herron School of Art and Design (Indianapolis) students Jessica Dunn and Michael Runge activated the installation through a series of visitor interactions based on a system of exchange with their project titled Give and Take. • The 2011 island resident was Katherine Ball, a student of Portland State University’s Art + Social Practice MFA program (Portland, Oregon). Over the course of her residency, titled No Swimming, Ball initiated a series of ecologically remedial interventions in the Park’s lake and engaged a local audience through a series of public programs centered on the topic of water. • For his 2012 residency titled INDIGENOUS: Into the Wild with A. Bitterman, Kansas City-based artist A. Bitterman created a series of sculptural interventions throughout the Park that prompted visitors to question their relationship with « the wild. » To further this inquiry, Bitterman acted as an element of nature himself, and relied on visitors for food and refrained from verbal communication. It’s important that the 2013 residency addresses concerns not previously explored. There must be a strong rationalization for why the proposed project must take place on Indy Island. Proposals that don’t specifically relate to the island or 100 Acres will not be considered. To apply: Apply for the residency at www.imamuseum.org/islandresidency. There, applicants can find photos and renderings of Indy Island, as well as further details about the selection process. Proposals are due Friday, January 11, 2013, and should include a brief written statement and renderings of the proposed project. The residency must last six weeks or longer and be conducted between May and September 2013.

Call to Artists: Acadia National Park Artist Residency, Maine
Deadline: January 7th, 2013
The Acadia National Park Artist-In-Residence Program provides professionals the opportunity to become part of a long-established tradition of artists in our national parks.
Mount Desert Island Artists: A Long Tradition In the mid-1800s, landscape painters, including Thomas Cole and Frederic Church, came to Mount Desert Island and captured its beauty on canvas. Their work inspired writers, composers, naturalists, and folks from away to seek the natural splendor of the island.
Those who followed were known as rusticators because they ate and lived with local fishermen and farmers during their summer stay. The rusticators returned each summer to delight in the tranquillity of Mount Desert Island, and for some, to practice their craft. Villagers cottages and fishermen’s huts soon overflowed, and by 1880, 30 hotels competed for vacationers’ dollars. Ballet, opera, musical festivals, and readings flourished each summer on Mount Desert Island.
Over the years the accommodations and number of visitors have increased, but the heart of what first drew people here remains as Acadia National Park. The park, with its dramatic cliffs stretching to the sea, balsam-scented forests, and spring warbler serenades, offers artists a perfect setting to practice and pursue their craft.
Artist-In-Residence Program at Acadia
The Artist-in-Residence Program at Acadia National Park offers professional writers, composers, and all visual and performing artists the opportunity to pursue their particular art form while surrounded by the inspiring landscape of the park. In the spring and fall, the park provides housing to participants for two-week to four-week periods. No additional stipend is available.
In return, participating artists are asked to donate to the park collection a piece of work representative of their style and their stay. These creative works will be displayed on a rotating schedule or shared with the public through other appropriate means during the upcoming seasons. Artists are also asked to participate in one public program per week of their residency such as demonstrations, talks, exploratory hikes, or performances. In the fall, artists will be working with fifth and sixth grade students. Programs can be tailored to your medium, interests, and experiences, and only consume a few hours of your stay.
How to Apply
Applications for the program are accepted beginning October 1 and must be received by January 7 for consideration for the following season. Notification will be made by late March. There is a $25 non-refundable application fee for applying to the residency. Make checks payable to the National Park Service. Materials sent as part of the application packet will not be returned.
Any medium that involves collecting or altering park resources would be in conflict with national park preservation goals and would be deemed inappropriate for a residency.
To apply, please send:
• Application Cover Sheet (pdf)
• For visual artists: Six different digital images in jpg or tiff format on one CD, or, if sending slides, one set of six different images, plus the following materials.
• For all other mediums: An appropriate sample of your recent work (e.g., six copies of a brief manuscript excerpt, short story, article, poetry, etc. – maximum of six pages – from writers and poets; one 1/2″ VHS tape or DVD from dancers and other performing artists), plus the following materials.
• Six copies of:
◦ One- to two-page résumé and summary of creative works.
◦ One-page statement about what you hope to accomplish and achieve during a term as an artist-in-residence at Acadia National Park.
◦ Description of public/school presentation.
◦ Names and contact information of two references who know your work.
• For additional information or to mail your application, please contact:

Atelier Topaz – résidence
Opasatika, Ontario, Canada
Le lieu

L’endroit parfait pour la réflexion, l’évasion. Le groupement d’édifices fait 900 mètres carrés et repose sur 14 hectares face à la route Transcanadienne. Il donne sur un étang de deux hectares. Topaz c’est la « Route 66 » dans le nord de l’Ontario. L’endroit, modeste et nostalgique, rappelle aussi les grandes épopées de la colonisation francophone de l’Ontario. Ces studios de création ou cette résidence d’artistes, endroit idéal pour les arts visuels, sont situés au centre du Canada, à mi-chemin entre l’Atlantique et le Pacifique, là où les étoiles deviennent les topazes de la nuit.
Ce qu’on offre
D’abord l’espace et, l’espace de travail déterminés selon les besoins de l’artiste. Les espaces polyvalents permettent d’y faire de la peinture, de la sculpture, de l’installation, etc. L’atelier de menuiserie, le Bar à clou, est équipé des outils de base. Un magasin d’objets trouvés est disponible autant pour l’inspiration que pour l’utilisation dans une œuvre. Le peintre apporte ses pinceaux, le musicien son instrument et l’écrivain son ordi.
Les personnes qui séjournent aux Ateliers Topaz jouissent de l’accès à la cuisine et sont responsables de préparer leurs repas. Toutefois Laurent peut aussi leur cuisiner de petits plats typiquement canadiens-français aux besoins ou aux désirs.
Topaz possède deux suites avec lit double et une chambre avec lit simple. Chacune possède sa salle de toilette avec douche. Ces installations évoquent admirablement le style des années 1960.
Pour la baignade, le Lac des Cœurs se situe à deux kilomètres à l’est. Pour le canotage ou la pèche, la rivière Opasatika est deux kilomètres à l’ouest. Pour se déplacer, il y a de vieux vélos ou la marche. Pour un frais très raisonnable, votre hôte peut aussi vous conduire ou organiser un déplacement vers Kapuskasing à l’est ou vers Hearst à l’ouest.
Les matériaux d’artistes ne sont pas disponibles dans la région. Il est donc important de faire vos achats avant votre séjour, à moins que vous travailliez avec des matériaux que l’on peut se procurer dans des magasins ordinaires ou même en nature.

International Helen M. Salzbert Artist in Residence Program, Book Arts, Florida
Deadline: January 22, 2013 (RECEIVE) or (HAND DELIVERY)
Stipend of $5000
Helen M. Salzberg Artist in Residence Program
Jaffe Center for Book Arts
Wimberly Library
Florida Atlantic University
Boca Raton, FL
Fall 2013
The Helen M. Salzberg Artist in Residence Program funds two working residencies for artists each academic year at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts, in the fall and spring semesters. Artists working in the book arts (and other media, too, as long as the creative project can be thought of as book arts related) are encouraged to apply for this prestigious and competitive award. We accept applications from artists from all over the world.
Poet and artist Helen M. Salzberg established the Salzberg AIR Program in 2011. Income from this endowed fund enables artists working in the book arts to come to the Jaffe Center on a semester basis to work and teach at the center. While here, the artist will produce a creative project using JCBA studios and also teach a workshop for FAU students and the general public and mentor FAU students as his or her schedule allows. The Salzberg AIR Program gives our students the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and creative book artists.
Two residencies will be awarded each academic year: one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester. The Artist in Residence (AIR) selected each semester will get his or her own office at JCBA and full use of the JCBA studios (papermaking, letterpress and book studios). The artist’s residency will last for 12 weeks, though shorter or longer residencies may be accommodated as needed. In the application process, if an artist has a particularly ambitious creative project in mind, the artist may apply for a residency that would encompass two semesters. Should the two-semester residency be awarded in this case, the artist would be expected to teach one workshop in each semester.
The AIR receives a stipend of $5,000 for the semester. The artist is responsible for transportation, housing, parking, meals and materials for his or her creative project. JCBA will provide materials for workshops.
APPLICATION
Artists who wish to compete for consideration for this prestigious opportunity must submit their application and support materials for review by a JCBA panel comprised of book artists and book arts enthusiasts. Your application packet must be submitted via post or delivered in person to JCBA and should include the following:
1. Completed application, or suitable cover letter that supplies the same information requested on the application.
2. Brief narrative of the creative project you envision.
3. Brief narrative of the workshop you would like to teach.
4. Current resume.
5. Any support materials you care to include: we welcome images of your work, sketches for the creative project, video… be creative and have fun.
All applications will be weighed equally by our panel.
