Craftivism = craft + activism
Call for Proposals

The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is seeking project proposals from Canadian artists on the theme of craftivism for a potential major solo or group exhibition.

We are looking for large scale projects in the craft of ceramics, glass or copper enameling that push the boundaries of contemporary craft and installation art. We want your wild ideas and collaborations. Surprise us with something powerful that will make a statement and command attention when installed in one of our Galleries. Proposals should engage with current Canadian social issues to start conversations, education, and sharing towards the greater good. These proposals will be considered for potential exhibitions in future programming seasons at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery (Waterloo, Ontario), with the possibility to circulate across the country.

Projects can include community involvement, workshops, or other initiatives. The resulting exhibition can extend beyond the walls of the gallery into the community, public spaces, and more. We’re looking for truly innovative approaches to contemporary exhibitions. Show us your creativity and vision for an exhibition that brings the community together both physically and visually.

As Ele Carpenter writes in Activist Tendencies in Craft: “In these practices the social, performative and critical discourse around the work is central to its production and dissemination. Here craft is not simply a luddite desire for the localized handmade, but a social process of collective empowerment, action, expression and negotiation.” (Arnolfini Journal, April 2010)

Proposals must be submitted through our online submission system. Click here to submit your proposal.

Proposals should include:

• CV or resume of creator (PDF format)
• A single PDF document including:
  1.  Proposal title
  2.  List of participants (if known)
  3.  Rationale for the project
  4.  Social issue addressed
  5.  Description of the planned artworks, processes, and installation including any unique installation requirements
  6.  Description of possible educational or public engagement activities
  7.  Materials needed
  8.  Project timeline
  9.  Draft budget items and costs (including CARFAC fees for artists – Category II Institution)
• Up to 5 supporting images (past work or concepts for the proposal)

For information call Denis at 519-746-1882 x: 231 or by email at denis [arobas] theclayandglass [point] ca

About the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery
The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery celebrates contemporary ceramic and glass artists engaged in conceptual, technical or material research. Located in Waterloo, Ontario, we are a not-for-profit institution that aims to collect, exhibit, research, promote, and preserve work by Canadian artists and makers in clay, glass, and copper enameling to represent the diversity of the Canadian landscape. Our rotating exhibitions celebrate and support diverse artists from across Canada working in these mediums and present their work to the public. Through exhibitions that address current and relevant issues, and public programs that engage, educate, and inspire, we are accessible to all. An essential organization within the Canadian cultural landscape, the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is a site of leadership that influences craft, design, and fine art communities.

A relevant and dynamic cultural organization, the Gallery provides supportive education programs to people from across the region. Using exhibitions as a starting point, individuals develop arts vocabulary, arts appreciation and cultivate confidence in their interpretation of contemporary artworks. People who return to The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery many times come to understand that the Gallery is a space with dynamic exhibitions, ever-changing hands-on programs and multiple opportunities for learning.

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is located on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. The Gallery is situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised to Six Nations in 1784 that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River; yet, today, the Six Nations reside on less than five per cent of this unceded territory. Indigenous peoples have inhabited this land for thousands of years, and we respectfully share this territory in peace and friendship. We are grateful and we re-affirm our commitment to do the work, to unlearn and relearn, towards a true reconciliation.

All of our lives have been shaken by both the pandemic and the important cultural and social issues brought to the forefront this past year. We are now at a time and place of change.

Where do we go from here?

As we move into our second decade as a centre for contemporary art, we are looking for artists to look widely, think deeply, discuss and lead new programming that addresses current societal shifts to expand our thinking and deepen our relationship with every member of the community. Critical Mass exists to generate interactive contemporary art experiences for all.

What have we learned? How have we adapted? What do we carry forward? What do we leave behind?

Join us in mapping our direction by addressing real change on a personal, collective and institutional level.

To reach our goals we are looking for multiple artists to lead us in generating conversations and safe community engagement art activities that shift all of our thinking about contemporary art and our place in the world.

Artists in residence are asked to address the curatorial theme of emergence or “where do we go from here?” in their residency project.

How would access to our urban/rural audience make a difference in your practice?

1. B) Opportunity #2: Sound Artists (2 positions – Begin work in fall 2021 for launch summer 2022)

How would access to our SoundWalks mobile app enhance your practice and further develop your thinking about important contemporary issues? How would you address these in a soundwalk in Port Hope?

1. C) Opportunity #3: Community Art Leaders (2 positions – Begin community consultations Summer 2021 with project completion by Spring/Summer 2022)

How would you use your community-based art practice to act as a catalyst of change within our urban/rural community? What grassroots approach would you imagine trying that could excite interest and help our community recover from the pandemic and importantly connect with each other?

1. D) Opportunity #4: Art Innovators (2 positions – Begin Fall 2021, end by Summer 2022)

As a curator, artist or artist collective do you have a vision for the future? Is there a project you would like to initiate that can develop over time?

You or your artist collective can apply to one, many, or all of our opportunities.

No. 105 – Dossier Nouvel nouvel age

Date de tombée : 10 janvier 2022

Tel un spectre malicieux ou une force surnaturelle indocile, la résurgence ponctuelle des croyances occultes – sorcellerie, divination, astrologie, magie, alchimie – hante depuis toujours l’histoire de l’humanité. Tour à tour ennemi du Christianisme, pierre d’achoppement de la logique kantienne ou carrément menace du patriarcat (la sorcière étant une figure « maléfique » puissante largement revendiquée par les féministes), cet engouement sporadique pour le mystique et ses innombrables déclinaisons semble être le symptôme tangible d’une lassitude sourde face à l’ordre établi et aux systèmes de pensée hégémoniques. Aujourd’hui encore, l’intérêt renouvelé pour le mysticisme et les modalités d’agentivité et de pouvoir parallèles qu’il suggère se fait l’écho de l’inertie politique générale. Des concoctions hormonales « faites maison » aux pratiques animistes antispécistes, les multiples stratégies offertes par ce nouvel nouvel âge, comme nous serions tenté·e·s de le nommer à la suite du mouvement contre-culturel occidental des années 1970, répondent au besoin pressant d’agir hors d’un néolibéralisme qui tue, petit à petit, notre planète et les relationalités qui s’y jouent. Mais bien plus qu’une simple riposte ésotérique, l’existence de forces occultes – ou de forces théoriquement inexplicables – semble désormais entérinée par la science elle-même, à preuve les récentes découvertes de la mécanique quantique et des états presque « magiques » de la matière, ouvrant toute grande la porte au mysticisme quantique ! Si l’occulte séduit et fait peur tout à la fois, c’est qu’il ne peut être assujetti, qu’il n’a de cesse de se dérober au sens commun.

[…] Figure incontournable de ces croisements disciplinaires et icône iconoclaste par excellence pour nombre d’artistes actuel·le·s, la sorcière est d’ailleurs une source incontournable d’inspiration. Guérisseuse, chamane, alchimiste, herboriste, magicienne et sybille, la sorcière appelle à une décolonisation des savoirs et de la spiritualité, à l’effritement du patriarcat et du capitalisme, à une affinité intime avec la nature et le cosmos, au métissage des arts et de l’artisanat, du politique et du magique. Loin d’être la seule à caractériser ce nouvel nouvel âge, la sorcière s’accompagne d’une multiplicité d’entités réelles et imaginaires, de méthodologies queers, de posture antispécistes et de formes de création hybride repoussant toujours davantage les frontières de l’art. À la lumière des perspectives ouvertes par ce nouvel nouvel âge, ce dossier cherche à explorer les croisements entre ces approches multiformes de l’occulte et de la spiritualité 2.0 et les pratiques artistiques actuelles.
