Yarra Ranges Council: Large-scale Land Art Commission for Kalorama Park (Australia)

On the Move — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 16:44:11 +0000

Yarra Ranges Council is seeking expressions of interest from multidisciplinary teams of local, national or international artists to design, supply and install a large-scale land artwork at Kalorama Park, located within the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria, Australia.

This major public art commission, located close to the highest point of the Dandenong Ranges, will create an iconic marker for the area, viewable from a range of distances and perspectives.

The Kalorama Park Land Artwork will be a large-scale, site-specific work, creating a unique and remarkable destination for local residents and visitors to ngurrak barring.

The Artwork will complement the form and character of the site and its surrounds and convey a concept that is deeply considered and reflective of the environment and cultural and historical context of the immediate area and/or the wider Dandenong Ranges.

As a Land artwork, it will be integrated with the landscape and must be made using natural or mostly natural materials. It should reflect the ngurrak barring (also referred to as RidgeWalk) vision, particularly by being environmentally responsive.

The budget for this project is up to $360,000 AUD (~230,000 EUR).

Deadline: 5 April 2023

The Mistra Environmental Communication team at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) are excited to facilitate one artist-in-residence (AiR) in the Sunshine Coast, Australia in 2023.

The artist selected for the AiR@USC is supported with:

Dialogical exchange with the academic host.
Organisational support to showcase their produced work.
Immersion in the Mistra Environmental Communication research process and community.
Access to library and IT network facilities.
A 54,000 SEK grant (~5000 EUR) of which:

Science Gallery Melbourne: Dark Matters Open Call (Australia)

On the Move — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 14:55:01 +0000

Science Gallery Melbourne is inviting proposals for projects to be included in their 2023 exhibition ‘Dark Matters’. This open call is extended to everyone, from every level of experience and from every discipline and every culture. First Peoples, Queer, CALD, BIPOC, Neuro-diverse, Disabled People and people from the Deaf community are encouraged to apply.

Dark Matters explores the fundamental essence of life and the universe and how so much of it remains a mystery to us. We don’t know what makes up about 95% of our universe – which we believe is dark energy (70%) and dark matter (25%). Dark matter consists of a mysterious substance that does not present an interaction with electromagnetic forces, which means it does not absorb, reflect it, or emit light.

In an era defined by the power of modelling data, technology and simulations, the search for dark matter can be seen as a symbol of the limits of our cognitive experience – will we ever fully understand it? What other unseen or unspoken materialities and forces are at play in our lives? How can the search for dark matter help us imagine new possibilities for life, and our relationship with non-human entities and systems? How can we build creative technologies and tools that help us access new environments and understandings that are undefinable, unmeasurable, and unsettling?

Projects can be new, in-development or existing works that have already been presented. They can take any form and involve any equipment or materials. The exhibition will be on for approximately 4 months, so this should be taken into consideration. However, projects can be evolving and dynamic and continue to experiment with time and space and take risks over this time.

Typically, projects selected via Science Gallery Melbourne open calls are funded for up to $8000 AUD (~5400 EUR), which would include all fees, materials, and travel costs.

Deadline: 5 August 2022

Mobility Funding Guide to New Zealand

On the Move — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 11:37:33 +0000

Our guide to cross-border mobility for artists and cultural workers from and travelling to New Zealand.

This cultural mobility funding guide lists national, local and international resources from both public and private funders. Two kinds of opportunity are included: outgoing and incoming. The outgoing opportunities are for nationals and residents of New Zealand wishing to travel outside the country. The incoming opportunities are for nationals from other countries who want to travel to New Zealand.

The guide only lists regular opportunities that are accessible online (for instance for touring, residencies, collaborations, training, etc.). Funds where information is only available offline, schemes which do not use open calls, and one-off or short-term funding programmes are not included.

Since 2011, On the Move has published 60 funding guides focusing on specific countries or world regions. They aim to make information on mobility funding clear and accessible, letting artists and cultural operators explore the field of opportunities. By gathering a large body of information in one place, they also help funders and policymakers to see how support is structured and to notice any shortfalls.

Our guides are always produced with partners, organisations and/or researchers who have a close relationship to the region, and we try to make them as complete as possible. If you see something is missing and it meets our editorial policy, then you can email mobility@on-the-move.org

On the Move — Mon, 18 May 2020 09:19:09 +0000

Science Gallery Melbourne is seeking proposals for works that can be included as part of its 2021 exhibition SWARM.

At a time of unprecedented societal upheaval due to the current global viral pandemic, Science Gallery Melbourne is delving into the science and art behind what it means to be part of a pack. Have we become a plague overpopulating the world? Are we at risk of becoming culturally homogenous and less individual? Or are we becoming a superorganism capable of superior collective intelligence with the ambition to spread beyond the realms of the Earth?

Potential subthemes:

Tribalism, political movements, flashmobs, social networks.
Globalisation, overpopulation, colonisation.
Individual v’s the group.
Hivemind, groupthink, misinformation and memes.
Swarming behaviour in biology (social insects, bird murmurations etc).
Superorganisms.
Immune systems, herd immunity, pandemics.
Nanobots, drones, robotics, mechatronics, big data and swarm algorithms.
Science fiction, zombies.

Proposals are invited from around the world and can be for a new or existing artwork, performance, workshop, digital intervention, research project, or other activity. It’s strongly recommended that you keep the gallery’s target audience of young people aged 15-25 in mind and consider including interactive or participatory elements. 

Most projects are funded up to $8000 AUD (~4750 EUR), which includes all artist fees, materials, equipment, shipping, travel etc. The gallery welcomes proposals that come in below that budget. They will also consider proposals for larger installations with a budget of up to $50,000 AUD (~29,650 EUR), with a focus on experimentation and interaction. These should have a genuine connection to the theme and target audience.

Deadline: 20 June 2020

The Farm Margaret River Residency

On the Move — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:43:53 +0000

The Farm Margaret River is located in the south-west of Western Australia, a region of ancient soils and flora, bounded by the Indian Ocean. The Margaret River region is an international destination for those interested in the arts, wine growing, surfing and its natural beauty.

In the age of the Anthropocene, our relationship to the environment and the reciprocal impact of each upon the other is a complex topic. Farm Margaret River engages with agricultural sciences, visual arts and the community to explore and observe our united possibilities. The visual arts are a conduit to our conversation and our perspective of where we stand today.

The Farm Margaret River sits upon land farmed for four generations, and prior to settlement, country of the Wardandi cultural group of the Nyoongar people.

A visiting artist will live and work in a contained live-in studio which is surrounded by arable paddocks, fresh water springs and bushland. The Farm Margaret River is nestled within a rural community versed in organic, holistic and sustainable living practises, yet conveniently close to the Margaret River township. The artist in residence will not only be able to develop a new body of work or continue their practice in a new environment, but will have the opportunity to exhibit their art for the people of The Farm Margaret River, the surrounding rural community, and the state of Western Australia.

Artists to be advised that this is a site-specific based residency.

The residency is planned to take place over 5-8 weeks between October - November 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the residency dates may moved to 2021 if necessary, in arrangement with the successful applicant.

Funding provided:

AUD $5,000 artist fee, materials and accommodation.
A travel subsidy will be individually negotiated with the successful applicant.

Applicants from all nationalities (18+) are encouraged to apply, but applicants from overseas must be able to obtain a temporary visa. Applicants must have a good level of written and spoken English. They must be professional practising visual artists and recognised as such by their peers.

Deadline: 29 May 2020
