Wysing Residencies 2013 Convention T CALL FOR ARTISTS

We are seeking proposals from artists who are interested in applying structures or systems to generate new work, readings and perspectives.



Our 2013 residencies build on our current residency programme in which artists Salvatore Arancio, Ed Atkins, Jonathan Baldock, Edwin Burdis, Nicolas Deshayes, Jess Flood-Paddock, Emma Hart, Flora Parrott, Nilsson Pflugfelder, Philomene Pirecki, Elizabeth Price and Stuart Whipps, alongside musician Luke Abbott, writer Patrick Coyle and

Cambridge based scientists and experts, have come together at our rural site to explore literary metaphors that reflected other worlds and the merging of fact and fiction; The Cosmos, The Mirror and The Forest. Work created during these residencies will be brought together in an exhibition at Wysing, in Febuary 2013.
Our new residencies, which are funded by Arts Council England and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, will be offered to eight artists who will be able to work from studios at Wysing during two periods: spring and autumn 2013.  Four artists will be invited, and four recruited through this Open Call.
During residency periods we will organise a series of talks and conferences to unfold some of the thinking behind the programme and artists are also invited to propose papers, talks or performances that might be included in this programme.
