Applicants can submit an artistic research project that is currently in the production stage or one that is scheduled to be completed during the six month period following the date of selection. All the submitted documents should be in English to grant@cda-projectsgrant.org  and each one should be sent as a separate PDF. Applications that are not sent in the specified format will not be considered. – Project proposal and documentation (maximum 500 words explaining your artistic research project, motivations of the research to be carried and the expected outcome. Up to four images can be included as documentation.) – Curriculum vitae (include e-mail and mailing address.) – Portfolio consisting of three completed research-based projects. – Time-based media should be submitted in low-resolution format via upload and the link should be provided within the portfolio (not larger than 350MB.)

SHARE PRIZE 2013 - Real Time | Real Space

Call for Entries

Piemonte Share is announcing a new edition of the Share Prize, the international competition designed to discover, promote and support art in the digital age.

Entries for the Share Prize can be submitted from June 20-August 20, 2013, by completing the entry form on their website: www.toshare.it.

This year, Share Festival will be shining the spotlight on how communications have become simultaneous and geolocalized in contemporary cities, sharpening its focus and critique onto the integration of digital networks in the urban environment. Share Festival sees artists not just as aesthetic messengers but as social agents, who use networks to change the way we think about media and relational space.
"The artistic realm is overlapped with the physical, urban world to explore a new dimension in which art can redirect the social and political leanings of networks, communities and artists into performances. Instead of taking humans into virtual space, digital technology has enhanced the way we interact with others and with the physical world. Today, the map is no longer a representation of the territory; rather, it incorporates it. How do people shape, and how are they shaped by, the integrated platform created between data and location?"

An international jury will short-list six projects for the prize, who will be selected to take part in the 9th Share Festival, to be held in Torino from November 8-17, 2013, at the Regional Museum of Natural Science. The names of the short-listed finalists will be announced by the beginning of September 2013.

Project Anywhere 2014

Call for Proposals

Proposal Deadline: September 1, 2014Project Anywhere is an expanded exhibition model encompassing the entire globe (and beyond) in which the role of curator is replaced with the type of peer review model typically endorsed by a refereed journal. Emphasizing artistic projects situated outside conventional exhibition contexts, Project Anywhere is dedicated to the promotion of advanced artistic practice at the outermost limits of location-specificity. Project Anywhere endorses a two-stage peer review system comparable with the journal-based paradigm for assessing the quality of research outcomes in the arts. Accordingly, Project Anywhere is designed to suit artist academics working anywhere in the world who are seeking independent peer validation and international web-based dissemination for practice-based research. Please send proposals (as an attachment) to projectanywhere@gmail.com. Your proposal should include the following: 1. Title of proposed project. 2. Location(s), date(s) and duration for proposed project (this can be updated later). 3. A detailed project proposal clearly stating the project's potential for creating new knowledge (please refer to the peer review guidelines at www.projectanywhere.net). 4. Images, files (under 8mg in total) and links can be included where appropriate. To be eligible for the first stage of our peer review process, it is imperative that ALL name and contact details are removed from the actual proposal document (and accompanying materials). Contact details should be included in the body of the email only. Any submissions that do not conform to the above criteria will NOT be sent out for peer review. Please note that Project Anywhere does not provide project funding nor expect exclusive hosting rights. Accordingly, we welcome multi-partnered and collaborative projects and/or projects that are hosted by other arts institutions seeking blind peer-validation. For more information visit www.projectanywhere.net.
