Appel de projet aux artistes sculpteurs
La Municipalité de Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez souhaite développer son offre de sculptures extérieures sur son territoire et favoriser la médiation culturelle avec ses citoyens en offrant des conférences interactives avec des artistes. Pour se faire, la Municipalité est à la recherche de propositions sculpturales pour un projet de sculpture dans l’un des sentiers pédestres. Le mandat de création se divise en deux étapes : la création de l’oeuvre, suivi d’une conférence. La création de l’oeuvre comprend l’achat de matériaux, la création par l’artiste et l’installation sur le terrain. La conférence comprend une rencontre avec les citoyens (en présentiel ou en virtuel), ainsi qu’une inauguration de l’oeuvre.

CONTRAINTES DE L’OEUVRE

L’oeuvre devra être pensée pour sa durabilité et sa résistance aux passage des saisons. L’oeuvre devra être pensée pour être réalisée dans le sentier pédestre #8. L’oeuvre peut être pensée au sol ou s’intégrer à un arbre ou… nous sommes ouverts à toutes les propositions. L’artiste devra travailler en harmonie avec la nature et ses éléments, sans les détériorer.

CONFÉRENCE

Une conférence suivra la réalisation de l’oeuvre. La Municipalité souhaite offrir la parole à l’artiste pour faire découvrir aux citoyens son processus de création et son parcours professionnel. La conférence en présentiel peut se transformer en capsule vidéo si la situation liée à la COVID-19 ne permet pas ce type d’événement.

IMPLICATIONS ET CACHETS

Création d’une oeuvre oeuvre d’art : 1 000 $

Matériel : 700$

Conférence : 300$

CRITÈRES DE SÉLECTION

L’originalité de la proposition

La durabilité des matériaux

Galvanized Suns: Call for net art, video
art, sound art, performance art,
creative or critical writing, readings, and animations

Galvanized Suns seeks artworks that re-imagine pasts, presents and
futures through narratives of diaspora outside of Western hegemony.
We are excited to feature works by artists, designers, performers and
writers who contribute to Caribbean and Latin American diaspora
culture in Canada and whose works can be optimized for online
delivery.
Galvanized Suns is a three day live-stream media event organized by
the curatorial collective Diasporic Futurisms in partnership with Subtle
Technologies. Galvanized Suns is the first of an ongoing project
exploring diverse facets of transformative practice.
Drawing from the roaring beats of rainstorms against galvanized
rooves of the Caribbean and Latin American landscape, Galvanized
Suns aims to gather and galvanize voices from this diaspora in Canada
to critically and creatively reimagine pasts, presents, and futures
beyond xenophobic,
Western-centric systems of oppression.
Join us in thinking about these questions:
How can we engage pasts, presents and futures without relying on
common tropes that perpetuate, reify and oppress?
What might new ways of being outside of oppressive systems look,
feel, or sound like?
How can pervasive belief systems and power structures be challenged,
dismantled, or re-conceptualized?
How can we build new mythologies and vocabularies to re-imagine
pasts, presents and futures?
Galvanized Suns pays CARFAC fees.
Diasporic Futurisms (Adrienne Matheuszik and Vanessa Godden) is a
curatorial collective, working to create space for artworks that
challenge Western hegemony through magical realism, fantasy,
science fiction, speculative fiction, folklore, and related sub-genres.
Diasporic Futurisms Galvanized Suns is a project of Subtle
Technologies 2020 Emerging Curator Mentorship Program. Subtle
Technologies is a Toronto-based platform for community-building and
knowledge-sharing at
the intersection of art, science and technology.
Galvanized Suns is generously supported by the Canada Council for
the Arts Digital Originals Grant.

Myseum Intersections is an annual festival that will take place during the month of April 2022.

Submission Deadline: September 17, 2020 by 11:59 p.m.
Jury Deliberation and Selection: September 18 – September 30, 2020
Notification by: October 6, 2020

Project Start/End: START mid-October, 2020; END March 2021

Budget allows for 115 hours (includes 10yr usage agreement); Beta version available by spring 2021 (March/April); Final launch by fall 2021 (September/October)

Critical Mass: A Centre for Contemporary Art is a Port Hope-based not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to bringing contemporary art experiences to our community.

Critical Mass is offering two socially-engaged sound artists (or collectives) an opportunity to create and develop immersive soundscape experiences played through a GPS-guided walking app in Port Hope, funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The project will begin this October (2020) and must be ready for a March 2021 beta launch. The total stipend awarded to a selected artist is $7,500 (for up to 115 hours of community research, admin, and project development) with 50% paid at the start of the project and 50% upon conclusion. The budget includes an agreement for a 10-year usage agreement. Please note that artists will require their own equipment and materials, and/or will be responsible to cover any rental fees required.

This 2020 soundscape project is the first of its kind in Port Hope and has been created to provide professional sound artists with the opportunity to work with coders and app developers and a user experience consultant to animate Port Hope cultural and heritage spaces with immersive sound art experiences delivered by mobile phones on a GPS-guided app. The goal of this project is to enrich how locals and visitors alike experience Port Hope’s identity, by using smartphone geolocation capabilities to explore the town’s landmarks and local stories.

Selected artists will work with the community to co-curate compelling, art-forward auditory interpretations of space. Artists will also work closely with our Program Director and an app developer to ensure the app is art-forward and will meet the artist’s needs as set out in the initial scope of the project.

Learn more about the Critical Mass Soundscape Project in our 2020 Soundscape Project Overview.

Critical Mass is committed to cultivating a positive and supportive creative environment that promotes equity and diversity and welcomes applications from persons with disabilities, Indigenous and racialized persons, women and individuals of diverse genders and sexual orientations.

Application Deadline: Friday, September 17, 2020 by 11:59 p.m.

Applications are reviewed by a panel of arts and culture professionals, board members and our program director. Decisions will be announced by Tuesday, October 6, 2020.

To apply, fill out the online application form through Submittable.

the8fest seeks your 8mm, Super 8, 9.5mm or other small-gauge film projects (such as loops, handmade, experimental and installations) for our 14th festival being held January 22nd to 24th, 2021.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1st, 2020.

***THE8FEST EXHIBITS ALL WORK ON FILM! Works selected for the festival, therefore, must be finished on small-gauge film (8mm, Super-8, Ultra Pan 8, 9.5 mm). We do NOT exhibit digital or video projects. We do accept Super 8 blown up to 16mm or even 35mm!***

The greatest care will be taken in handling, previewing and projecting films, but standard wear on prints is to be expected with any exhibition on celluloid. By submitting your film, you agree to waive the8fest of any liability for minor damage to the submitted film. Each work will be inspected upon arrival and departure from our custody, and any notable issues will be communicated to the filmmaker’s contact.

GUIDELINES:

– No Submission Fee!
– Submission deadline is October 1st, 2020.
– We encourage submissions from Black, Indigenous, and artists of colour. We encourage DIY filmmakers, experimental artists, established filmmakers, and everyone who has an interest in small gauge film to apply!

– MP3, AIFF, WAV or other compressed audio (sound) files can be sent by email.
– Cuing instructions should be included and clearly stated.
– Filmmakers with separate sound should not expect exact audio synchronization with their picture.
– Please note that the8fest will screen what is sent to us. The leader with the film will be removed, unless the leader is itself part of the film. the8fest’s projectionist assembles the accepted films into sequenced programmes, so applicants should make it clear where the projectionist can or should cut.
– For installations or performances: Please include detailed technical requirements and any equipment needs. We have limited resources for non-projection equipment (e.g. lights, multiple mics, etc.) – the more information the better!

connect with BIPOC artists, to share your work, and provide a platform for your artistic
practices to reach new audiences. We are particularly interested in BIPOC artistic

conditions, climate change, and social justice activism during this unprecedented time.

EAHR (Ethnocultural Art Histories Research Group) at Concordia University invites
artists who identify as BIPOC to submit work for the opportunity to be featured on the
EAHR Instagram * IG: @eahrconcordia *

Accepting submissions *now* and throughout the summer. Submit your work to
ethnoculturalarts [arobas] gmail [point] com today!

Video Out Call for Submissions: Tricky Eyes
Wednesday, April 15 12am-Wednesday, September 9, 2020 12am
Call For Submissions: Tricky Eyes

Video Out Distribution in partnership with IFF-Animation are seeking short experimental animated works that challenge the conventions of the animated form.  

‘Tricky Eyes’ asks artists to take inspiration from the ‘chase film’, which animation historian Norman M. Klein referred to as “the collision of improbables”. Popularizedby Tex Avery’s Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner series, the chase film relies on animating in a logically illogical way. Tricks used throughout chase films became a mechanism to expose the machinery of animation—a way for animators to show-off and hold the viewer’s attention. How can these creative tricks be applied to contemporary animation practices? 

With this in mind, Video Out invites submissions of experimental animation that disrupt or play with contrasting opposites, drawing a dark circle that becomes a hole to fall into. 

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

acceleration versus anticipation
action versus motivation
soft versus solid
catch and release 
stretch and squash
pursuit followed by avoidance
Making the physically impossible possible 
 

To submit:

please send a weblink of the work (Wetransfers not accepted), a short synopsis, and an artist bio to distribution [arobas] vivomediaarts [point] com. Digital (3D, 2D, hand-drawn, stop-motion, paper cutout, digitized film, etc.) submissions only, maximum two submissions per artist.

Send your submission with the subject: TrickyEyes_LastName by September 8th.

Southern Alberta Art Gallery (SAAG) Submission Guidelines Exhibition proposals are accepted throughout the year and reviews are ongoing.  Selection is carried out over a period of time through studio visits and correspondence with artists and curators in whom the gallery has an interest.  Those interested in proposing their work to SAAG are asked to include with their submission: a curriculum vitae, an artist statement and/or letter of intent, a wide selection of images, and other relevant support material. Submissions should be mailed to:

Southern Alberta Art Gallery 601 3rd Ave. S. Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0H4

The gallery will not return your submission – please do not send original artworks or valuable materials.   Given the large number of submissions received by the gallery, formal letters of reply will only be issued to proposals of immediate interest.

Exhibitions are generally six weeks in length.  An opening is held to introduce the work to the public.  Artists are also invited to give an illustrated lecture on their work in conjunction with the University of Lethbridge Faculty of Fine Art during the academic year.  Other special events (workshops, panel discussions, etc.) are considered on a case-by-case basis.

The Southern Alberta Art Gallery pays CARFAC fees, shipping and insurance, and often seeks funding to produce catalogues for the exhibition.  All publications, including our quarterly newsletter GALLERY (which discusses and reproduces work by exhibiting artists along with other programming), are exchanged with other institutions in Canada and abroad.

The Southern Alberta Art Gallery fosters the work of contemporary artists who challenge boundaries, encourages broad public engagement and promotes awareness and exploration of artistic expression.  Our work extends to local, national and international communities.

Call for applications
Investec Cape Town Art Fair, Cape Town / South Africa
February 19–21, 2021

Application deadline: October 8

Investec Cape Town Art Fair
Cape Town International Convention Centre Convention Square
1 Lower Street
Cape Town
8001
South Africa

www.investeccapetownartfair.co.za

We are pleased to announce that applications for Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2021 are now open. The application guidelines and entry forms are accessible on our website here. Applications close on October 8, 2020.

Taking place between February 19-21, 2021, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), Investec Cape Town Art Fair offers an intimate experience of the largest contemporary art fair in Africa, in one of the world’s most vibrant art cities. With over 107 exhibitors, 22,000 visitors, 4800 VIPs and a supportive local art community, the fair provides a platform for collectors, galleries, curators, artists, and art journalists from around the globe to engage and create connections. Investec Cape Town Art Fair has proven to be the place where the fast-growing African art market and the international art world meet. The fair continues to attract the participation of prominent galleries from the region and beyond, with many international galleries presenting their artists within an African context alongside Africa’s leading contemporary art galleries.

With the emergence of COVID-19, the world is being driven into a state of uncertainty and the urgency of rebuilding. Therefore, Investec Cape Town Art Fair’s focus for its ninth edition is shared-support, collaboration and inspiring new initiatives to ensure momentum and establish a support system amongst exhibitors. We believe in the art fair model to bring people together to connect, converse and contemplate at the forefront of contemporary art. The 2021 edition of the fair looks profoundly to the notion of collaboration across aspects of Investec Cape Town Art Fair with the intention of opening up a dialogue and a shared support structure, with an exchange of ideas, research, artists, strategies and resources.

The fair’s curated sections contribute to its intimate engagement: Tomorrows/Today showcases artists who will be tomorrow’s leading names. The section will again be co-curated by Nkule Mabaso (Head Curator, Michaelis Galleries, South Africa) and Luigi Fassi (Artistic Director, MAN-Contemporary Art Museum, Italy). The Tomorrows/Today platform is meant to act as a forecast of future relevant practises and ideas. There is no knowable line that one crosses to move from emerging to established, therefore the section can present artists who have a track record but for whatever reason have not gained significant attention. SOLO: insight-out seeks to more fully explore the artistic practices of artists working locally and abroad, through curated solo presentations. In its fourth iteration, the section will explore how artists have reacted to the isolation period, as well as opening up a conversation about the effect that exchange and collaboration has in the artist’s production. The questions of how sharing has enriched the artist’s practice and how virtual contact has impacted their practice come to mind.

Investec Cape Town Art Fair is produced by Fiera Milano S.p.A, a global leader in exhibition management and the organisers of miart art fair.

In the fourth year of our partnership, Investec Cape Town Art Fair continues to leverage the support of our title sponsor, Investec. The fair offers collectors the unique opportunity to engage with a wide cross-section of the art world, through events in collaboration with our participating galleries and partnering art institutions. In addition, Investec Cape Town Art Fair will expand its public programme, giving all visitors an in-depth view of Cape Town’s ever-thriving contemporary art scene.

Lancé par le ministère du Tourisme, du Patrimoine et de la Culture, le programme AIR Frais vise à fournir aux artistes un lieu autre qu’un atelier ou un lieu de travail ordinaire, où ils pourront produire des œuvres tout en discutant avec le public.

« Offrir des résidences d’artistes, surtout pendant la pandémie de COVID-19, aidera à rehausser le profil des arts et de la culture dans notre province », a déclaré le ministre du Tourisme, du Patrimoine et de la Culture, Bruce Fitch. « En raison de la COVID-19, les artistes du Nouveau-Brunswick, toutes disciplines confondues, ont dû faire face à des difficultés pour présenter et vendre leurs œuvres. Cette nouvelle initiative sera une excellente occasion pour nos artistes professionnels de bénéficier d’une bonne visibilité, et elle donnera aux gens du Nouveau-Brunswick la possibilité d’en apprendre davantage sur le travail artistique effectué dans notre province. »

L’initiative d’artistes en résidence aura lieu du 5 au 7 septembre dans les parcs provinciaux et sites touristiques suivants :

• Rochers Hopewell;
• Jardin botanique du Nouveau-Brunswick / parc provincial de la République;
• Mont Carleton;
• Mactaquac; et
• Village historique acadien.

Les disciplines artistiques admissibles comprennent l’architecture, l’artisanat, la danse, les arts littéraires (y compris la création orale, la narration, la performance littéraire et la traduction littéraire), les arts médiatiques, les arts multidisciplinaires, la musique classique et non classique, le théâtre et les arts visuels. Les artistes choisis recevront 500 dollars par jour pendant au plus trois jours.

Les artistes professionnels intéressés peuvent obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur le programme en ligne.

Les résidences d’artistes seront soumises aux règles de fonctionnement relatives à la COVID-19, y compris la distanciation physique.

Fredericton lance un appel à propositions de sculpture d’un arbre du parc Odell

Les artistes qui habitent au Nouveau-Brunswick ont jusqu’au 31 août 2020 pour soumettre une proposition

La Ville de Fredericton lance une demande de propositions conceptuelles de sculpture à être gravée in situ sur un pin blanc du parc Odell ayant subi des dommages irréversibles pendant un violent orage survenu en juin dernier. L’arbre a été élagué lorsque les forestiers municipaux et la Commission des arbres de Fredericton ont déterminé qu’il était devenu structurellement dangereux.

Les employés municipaux ont été très soigneux pour conserver un tronc d’environ 3 m de haut et 2 m de diamètre près des racines, qui deviendra une œuvre artistique; plusieurs grosses branches sont toujours en place.

L’arbre devra être sculpté cet automne afin de bénéficier de températures optimales pour l’application d’un traitement de préservation du bois.

Les artistes, les collectifs d’artistes et les sculpteurs intéressés qui habitent actuellement au Nouveau‑Brunswick peuvent soumettre leur concept accompagné d’un croquis, d’un calendrier d’exécution, d’une description du procédé de traitement et d’un curriculum vitae décrivant leur expérience pertinente. Il est possible que le concept initial doive être modifié selon l’état du bois. De la moisissure a été décelée, mais on n’en connaît pas l’ampleur.

Ce projet de sculpture est assorti d’un budget de 7500 $ et comprend le matériel d’artiste, l’équipement et l’application du traitement de préservation. Une preuve d’assurance de responsabilité civile est exigée. L’appel d’offres complète et des photos de l’arbre en question se trouvent sur la page web www.fredericton.ca/art-civique.

Les propositions doivent être envoyées par courriel à culture [arobas] fredericton [point] ca au plus tard à minuit le lundi 31 août 2020.

In partnership with the City of Toronto’s StreetARToronto Program, East End Arts invites artists to submit proposals to participate in Destination Danforth.
Deadline: August 26, 2020 at 11:59 PM EST.

This posting has been edited for length – to view the full call and to apply, click here.

StreetARToronto (StART) programs and projects are designed to celebrate the City of Toronto motto “Diversity Our Strength” and foster a greater sense of belonging among all.

CALL SUMMARY
This Artist Call is Stage 1 of a Two-Stage selection process (Stage 1. Artist Call/Proposal, Stage 2. Final Design Proposal).

#DestinationDanforth aims to help local businesses recover from this pandemic, restore consumer confidence and give people safe alternatives to the TTC. The #DestinationDanforth pilot will see an unprecedented $4 million investment this summer to enhance our public realm, create new opportunities for patios, provide dedicated parking, and add the infrastructure we need so that people can walk, ride and roll through our Danforth neighbourhoods.

#DestinationDanforth will also include a robust public art program including creative curb extensions, painted signal boxes and four signature murals (one within each BIA area along the corridor).

Production of the art will roll out over the next year, with four mural installations and twelve traffic signal boxes completed by October 2020. This Call is specifically to request proposals for 4 murals, one in each of the Business Improvement Areas – (Broadview Danforth BIA, GreekTown on the Danforth BIA, Danforth Mosaic BIA, and Danforth Village BIA) located on Danforth Avenue between Broadview Avenue and Dawes Road. (Wall Locations TBA).

Brief descriptions of the themes form the basis of this art call and are included below, to read the full text please visit the East End Arts’ web page.

Learn more about the Destination Danforth pilot here.

Bareket Kezwer, Find The Love, 2018

GUIDING THEMES
There are two themes we are addressing with this call, submissions can respond to one or both themes:

Theme One: Gratitude, Resilience, Hope
Over the course of this pandemic, communities throughout the Danforth – and indeed, the city, province, country, and beyond – have shown incredible care and love for one another, and this has manifested in the form of many public displays of art. Children’s chalk art, window scavenger hunts, light-up hearts made of blinking lights have filled our neighbourhoods with the evidence of this love. Let’s celebrate these already-thriving moments and enlarge them into wall sized murals. This theme invites submissions that tell stories of gratitude, resilience and hope for our Danforth Community. Even when this pandemic is long behind these murals will remain to remind us of our capacity to care and show-up for one another. The artworks should speak to and celebrate: the service local businesses bring to the communities that they support, the community members and residents who support them in return, and the benefits and opportunities to support local and celebrate community pride.
Theme Two: #EastEndLove
EastEndLove was a community-engaged public art project, presented by East End Arts through 2018 and 2019. This project used conversation, collaboration, stencil screen printing, and public art to facilitate difficult conversations, and to spread messages of love and inclusion in our community. #EastEndLove was born as a response to the increase in discriminatory discourse and vandalism in the east Toronto community, and aimed to unite community members while building stronger, more inclusive and responsive communities at large. Sadly, since the completion of this project East End Arts has observed specific neighbourhoods and communities in east Toronto being subjected to an alarming increase in instances of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and hate, including vandalism, anti-Black racism, attacks on local residents and more. Clearly the work is not yet done. This theme invites submissions in support of Black Lives Matter. The artworks should speak to past and current injustice against visible minorities, and the importance, benefits and opportunities to build a better future through inclusion, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this call is to gather a list of artists or artist collaborations who will be short-listed based on relevant professional credentials and preliminary design concepts. Shortlisted artists will be contacted by August 31 and will receive an honorarium of $1000 to develop a final design concept, budget and material list. Final designs will be presented to the Selection Committee on September 4th.

Please note that we only require the proposal in written form (Maximum 500-words) and documentation of past works at this stage in the process. This will include:

Artist Contact information
Short description of the mural you propose (Maximum 500-words)
Short bio including past experience working on outdoor projects of a similar nature and scale (Maximum 300-words)
CV (2 pages maximum)
Contact information for 2 references
Maximum 3 images of past work (jpeg format 72 dpi, dimensions of 1024 pixels on longest side – approx. 500 KB) (Please indicate location and date of installation)
Final Designs will be required from shortlisted artists in Stage 2.

Please note: Selected candidates for the Destination Danforth Murals must have, or may be required to successfully complete Working at Heights and Aerial Work Platform training and, if applicable to the wall site, will be asked to provide their course completion plan at the shortlisting phase if selected.

Competition Schedule

Deadline for submission of artist proposal – August 26
Notification of short-listed artists – August 31
Final Designs submitted – September 8
Final Selection Committee meeting – September 11
Notification of successful artist – September 11
Painting Schedule – September 16 – October 2

Call for applications: Goethe-Institut Fellowship at the documenta Institute

Application deadline: September 7, 2020

documenta archiv
Untere Karlsstraße 4
34117 Kassel
Germany

www.documenta-archiv.de
Facebook / Instagram


The Goethe-Institut, the documenta archiv and the Kunsthochschule Kassel (University of the Arts Kassel) / University of Kassel are launching their joint fellowship program for international young scientists and researching artists and curators at the documenta Institute. Twice a year, starting in October 2020, one fellowship holder each—preferably from non-European countries or European countries comparatively underrepresented in the art context—will be invited to Kassel for a period of six months to conduct their research in relation to documenta. International fellows will benefit from a wealth of materials on documenta history and on modern and contemporary art stored at the documenta archiv, as well as from the exchange with the teams of the documenta archiv, the documenta Institute under development, the Kunsthochschule Kassel, the University of Kassel and their academic environment. Public events or publications in Kassel and, if possible, preferably also in the fellows’ countries of origin, will lend visibility to the fellows’ research and perspective.

The Goethe-Institut Fellowship at the documenta Institute enables to examine diverse interdisciplinary and international references to the documenta exhibitions in art and contemporary history and to gain new insights with regards to art production and the networks emerged therefrom. It aims to contribute to further breaking open a Western European/North American dominated art historical canon and to expand it by new perspectives.

The program runs from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2023; the research stay for the first fellow should, if possible, begin on October 1, 2020 and last until March 31, 2021. The residency will be located in Kassel. The scholarship is endowed with 2,000€ per month. The applicant should ideally have prior experience in archival research, critical exhibition research and German language skills, at least reading comprehension at B1/B2 level. The application deadline for the first cycle is September 7.

In case of questions regarding the Goethe-Institut Fellowship at the documenta Institute and the application procedure please see https://www.goethe.de/en/kul/bku/ser/fel.html and contact:

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Research Fellowships, Running with Concepts: The Mediatic Edition

A virtual public program, fellowship, and experimental conference
October 2020 – January 2021
Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto Mississauga

Deadline for Proposals to Participate: September 8, 2020
Full program will be announced in late September 2020

With Guest Presenters: Emma Gilchrist, Rick Harp, Shalini Kantayya, Kite, Sean Lee, Pedro Neves Marques, Carmen Papalia, Karyn Pugliese, Tiara Roxanne, Lewis Raven Wallace, and more to be announced.

Running with Concepts: The Mediatic Edition, the sixth edition of the Blackwood’s hybrid educational event, bridges recent and ongoing Blackwood programming and publishing on spectatorship, animatic technologies, and media ecologies. Interrogating the contexts, conditions, and forces that modulate, arbitrate, and disrupt knowledge-production and political action, The Mediatic Edition unfolds as an online durational event with a concurrent fellowship program taking place across October 2020–January 2021. Participants bring expertise from emergent and established media disciplines whose methodologies can shape artistic practice: newer movements in data sovereignty, data governance, and citizen science develop models for participation and engagement; social media users, meme-makers, and decolonial map-makers work within and against existing platforms to create counter-narratives; and critical journalists question the norms and epistemologies on which their discipline is founded. Across a durational online format, Running with Concepts: The Mediatic Edition asks: how can we intervene in and interrogate the conditions that mediate knowledge production and political action? What intersectional and cross-sectoral approaches to data and data ethics do we need now? How can artistic research engage with the interfaces and platforms that constitute our mediated environment? How can we better comprehend and work within our always-mediated conditions of spectatorship?

Foundational to the Running with Concepts model is the inclusion of practitioners from diverse fields at various levels of their careers, with mentorship, dialogue, and the workshopping of ideas built into the hybrid conference model. For the first time, this year’s virtual edition of Running with Concepts includes a paid research fellowship, geared at supporting the research practice of emerging practitioners, and providing mentorship for in-progress projects. Eight research fellows will follow the program from October 2020–January 2021. Fellows will be expected to:

• present work once in digital form (e.g. as an online text, film screening, workshop, performance, or other virtual presentation hosted on the Blackwood Gallery’s website)
• participate in three closed sessions with mentors (invited artists, researchers, and media-makers)
• attend the virtual program of time-limited broadcasts and live online programs throughout duration of Running with Concepts: The Mediatic Edition
• contribute one short post reflecting on the event to the Blackwood Gallery’s web feed

Research fellows are paid an honorarium of $1500 CAD.

Most public programs will be made available throughout a 72-hour period, enabling asynchronous viewing, access from various time zones, and closed captioning. Some sessions (e.g. workshops and performances) will be live, taking place in Eastern Standard Time.

Please see the full program schedule and Call for Proposals for more information.

For information on previous editions of Running with Concepts, please see The Empathic Edition, The Choreographic Edition and The Geologic Edition.

Proposals for Fellowships must include:

• A 250-word description of your project or research trajectory, including the type of presentation you have in mind. We welcome a broad response to the notion of presentation (especially in consideration of online formats) which could take the shape of a talk, text-based contribution, performance-for-the-camera, film screening, workshop, demonstration, conversation, series of images, social media project, etc.
• Include a 150-word bio and support material directly linked to proposal (for example: 3–5 minute video, 5 images, up to 2 pages of text—e.g. excerpts of a case study, score, or script)
• Identify technical requirements for presentation on Blackwood Gallery’s website and the preferred amount of time required (5–30 minutes)

Participants from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Graduate students and emerging artists, writers, and organizers will be given priority. Proposals from local and international contributors are welcome.

Submit all materials as a single PDF to blackwood [point] gallery [arobas] utoronto [point] ca

No. 102 – Dossier (Re)voir la peinture
Date de tombée : 10 janvier 2021

[…] L’expression retour de la peinture est d’abord apparue dans les années 1980 autour de pratiques artistiques et d’activités critiques qui observaient un regain d’intérêt pour le pictural, alors que les décennies précédentes avaient été consacrées à l’immatérialité, à l’éphéméralité, à la corporalité. Pourtant, ce énième retour de la peinture mérite d’être déconstruit. D’une part, nombre de peintres contemporains s’intéressent aujourd’hui à ces questions qui sont prétendument étrangères à leur médium, en proposant des formes hybrides de création empruntant à l’installation, à l’art conceptuel ou à la performance. D’autre part, nombre d’artistes investissent les thèmes et les conventions de représentation de la peinture de manière critique. Ces artistes, souvent issus des communautés autochtones, noires ou de couleur, l’entrevoient comme un outil à mobiliser pour déconstruire l’homogénéité des discours en art. Dans les deux cas, la peinture se dresse contre une certaine orthodoxie, imposée par le médium lui-même ou par le milieu qui la diffuse.

La peinture actuelle s’articulerait dans ces trois moments : dans les questionnements de sa pratique, dans sa valorisation par la mise en exposition, et finalement dans son imbrication dans les rouages du marché de l’art. Plutôt que d’imaginer un retour à la peinture qui signalerait la résolution d’une fausse absence, vaut-il mieux la comprendre comme une expression du contemporain, qui nous inviterait à penser ses mouvements, ses mobilités et ses discours pluriels ? Que dit-on par la peinture ? Que nous dit-elle sur l’état du milieu de l’art ? Esse arts + opinions invite les auteurs et autrices à réfléchir aux conditions de cette visibilité. À quels impératifs esthétiques, éthiques, sociaux, politiques ou économiques répond-t-elle ? Comment est-elle saisie par les artistes actuels ?

No 101 : Dossier Nouveaux matérialismes
Avant le 1er septembre 2020

S’il est aujourd’hui courant d’interroger l’hégémonie du visible et de remettre en question l’idée de la représentation comme condition préalable fondamentale de l’art, l’orthodoxie constructiviste portée par le poststructuralisme persiste à favoriser une approche discursive des pratiques artistiques au détriment de la matière et de son agentivité. Bien que le courant philosophique du réalisme spéculatif – aussi désigné sous le label ontologie orientée objet (OOO) – ait été un levier euristique incontournable pour réfléchir la relation de l’humain au monde des objets, cette notion est demeurée liée au langage, aux discours et à la culture, perpétuant l’idée d’une expérience de la matière purement représentationnelle. Comme le souligne à propos les historiennes de l’art et féministes Estelle Barrett et Barbara Bolt en introduction de Carnal Knowledge. Towards a “New Materialism” Through the Arts, cette lacune concourt encore aujourd’hui à reconduire une rhétorique des binarismes opposant matérialité et signification, nature et culture, objet et sujet. Depuis le tournant du XXIème siècle toutefois, des voix issues de disciplines multiples – et aussi « éloignées » que la physique quantique, les féminismes, l’écologie et les arts – s’élèvent et s’unissent pour plaider en faveur d’un renouveau des perspectives matérialistes pour réintégrer la matière dans le débat philosophique et dépasser, enfin, une interprétation polarisée et duelle du monde.

Ce qu’il est désormais convenu de rassembler sous l’appellation des « Nouveaux matérialismes » (de l’anglais New Materialisms) décrit un ensemble de postures à la fois théoriques et pragmatiques inscrites en réaction face au logocentrisme de la postmodernité. Ces postures vont critiquer vivement la tendance postmoderne à ne prendre en compte que la logique du langage comme modèle de référence et de signification du réel. Sans retourner à ce que Bruno Latour nomme le Grand Partage, c’est-à-dire une recherche ontologique objective typiquement moderne opposée au langage, les Nouveaux matérialismes s’attèlent plutôt à mettre sur pied une démarche éthico-onto-épistémologique (Barad: 1998) à même de pointer l’inséparabilité du monde matériel et discursif.

Véritable cristallisation de ces nombreux enjeux, l’art occupe une position enviable dans le débat, mettant simultanément la matière au profit du sens et la signification au service de la forme. Conscients de cette complémentarité co-constitutive et inhérente aux pratiques artistiques, nombre d’artistes, d’institutions muséales et d’évènements artistiques mettent aujourd’hui de l’avant l’évidence du « fait matériel » de l’art, proposant des réflexions autour de la notion d’objet ou de choséité, d’une expérience axée sur la polysensorialité et la matérialité des œuvres ou encore, tendent à mettre en lumière l’autonomie et la performativité de la matière à travers ses propres processus de transformation. Ces nouvelles sensibilités initient une esthétique matérialiste qui déplace l’expérience de l’objet d’art (et de sa technique) avec l’humain en une relation horizontale où sens et matière s’informent.

Portée par l’actualité de ces réflexions et de leurs implications tangibles pour la refonte d’une conception des arts dits « visuels », Esse arts + opinions invite les auteur.e.s et artistes à proposer des textes qui réfléchissent à la reconfiguration de la matière à l’aune de pratiques sociales, politiques, artistiques et scientifiques qui ne sont plus enfermées dans le spectre humain, mais relèvent de la « vie » tout entière, y compris le « non-vivant ». À cet égard, les avenues de réflexion sont à l’image des nouveaux matérialismes, soit tentaculaires, hybrides et critiques. Comment ces approches de la matière modulent-elles de nouveaux regards critiques face à l’asymétrie arbitraire entre beaux-arts et artisanat ? Comment cette sensibilité matérialiste se traduit-elle réellement pour les artistes et leurs œuvres ? À l’aube de cette époque que d’aucuns nomment anthropocène, comment les nouveaux matérialismes permettent-ils de déjouer une critique anthropocentrique (ou humaniste) des objets d’art et de leur contexte de production ? Dès lors, quelles places reste-il pour la critique et l’histoire de l’art dont la matière première est le discours ?
