BAM announces the establishment of its first fellowship to honor DanceAfrica founder and calls for applications

The Chuck Davis Emerging Choreographer Fellowship supports travel to Africa or its diaspora to study dance; inaugural recipient to be announced at this year’s DanceAfrica celebration, May 27—30

AM announces call for applications for the Chuck Davis Emerging Choreographer Fellowship, established with support of the SHS Foundation. The fellowship, which was first announced last year, honors Charles “Chuck” Davis’ contribution to DanceAfrica, the annual festival that he founded in 1977 and for which served as artistic director until 2015. The fellowship offers up to $9,000 for emerging choreographers to travel to Africa or its diaspora and study with experts in the field of African dance. The first recipient will be announced during this year’s DanceAfrica festival, taking place over Memorial Day weekend.

The Chuck Davis Emerging Choreographer Fellowship is the first that BAM has created. Joseph V. Mellilo, BAM executive producer, says: “Chuck has devoted his artistic life to promoting African dance, first through his own company, then DanceAfrica, which started at BAM and has since expanded to many cities. Countless people have come to enjoy African dance as a result of his enthusiasm and energy. The fellowship will be a lasting tribute to his invaluable contribution to this field.”

Davis, who remains artistic director emeritus of DanceAfrica, said, “I am heartened by the generosity of BAM and the SHS Foundation. This fellowship will provide an in-depth opportunity to young choreographers to learn African dance styles from where they originated and how they are still practiced. This will also afford a chance to foster vibrant cross-continental and cross-cultural conversations leading to deeper understanding of people and their relationship to each other. I strongly encourage all young choreographers to apply.”

US citizens or permanent residents with specialized training and interest in the field are encouraged to apply. The deadline of this year’s applications is March 18. Please go to www.BAM.org/Davis for details. 

The musée du quai Branly Photography Residencies

The Photography Residencies program gives every year one or several photographers – native from one of the four continents represented in the collection of the musée du quai Branly – the chance to develop an innovative work, in coherence with their personal aesthetic path.

The musée du quai Branly Photography Residencies benefit to the support and enhancement of an artistic expression barely visible in France, by financing part or all of a creative project. The photographic works produced as part as this program are intended to enrich the museum’s collections at the end of every residency period. Thus, they contribute to the constitution of the contemporary photographic collection of the museum.

Simultaneously a museum, a cultural center, and a place for research and teaching, the musée du quai Branly was born from the political desire to highlight non-European cultures, in the heart of Paris. The museum gathers a collection of 300 000 objects, a considerable collection of graphic art and a photographic collection composed of more than 700 000 pieces. The museum’s policy is based on a dynamic and opened proposal: “where cultures meet in dialogue.” This idea is the driving force behind most of the Museum’s lines of action: cultural programming, disseminating and sharing knowledge and expertise with the cultures originating the collections, international cooperation, and making the collections available to others.

BRIC Visual Artist Residency

• Applications accepted: Feb 1 - Mar 14, 2016 (NOTE: A link to Slideroom will be provided during this time.)
• Application Deadline: Midnight on Mar 14, 2016
• Selected artists notified by: end of April 2016
• Residency: Summer 2016 (roughly an 8-week period in late June to late August 2016)

http://bricartsmedia.org/contemporary-art/artist-opportunities/bric-visual-artist-residencyhttp://bricartsmedia.org/contemporary-art/artist-opportunities/bric-visual-artist-residency

---

Each summer, BRIC holds its annual Visual Artist Residency program. Two residents have space in the Artists Studio at BRIC House. In addition, BRIC partners with Saint Ann's School to provide additional studio space for one resident at 33 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights, in classroom space adjacent to the former BRIC Rotunda Gallery!

• ARTIST STUDIO AT BRIC HOUSE:  This is a flexible space on the ground floor that is used for creating, rehearsing, exhibiting, and performing across multiple disciplines. This 1,400 square-foot room measures 27’ x 52’ and has a 12-foot ceiling height.  It will be partitioned for use by two artists during the residency. Because BRIC House is a public space with many visitors and activities each week, we will select artists in residence whose work involves little or no noise, no fumes or toxic materials, and who require only moderate access to water (there is a public bathroom near the Artist Studio and a utility sink in the loading dock area, but no sink in the studio spaces).  Artists in residence will have access to their studios daily from 7AM-1AM on weekdays and 8AM-1AM on weekends.
• 33 CLINTON STREET: The residency at 33 Clinton Street is aimed at artists who are able to work independently and can responsibly take care of this approximately 400-square-feet of space.  The artist working at this space will be responsible for opening up and closing this facility daily, as they come and go. The artist's hours may therefore be flexible. Priority will be given to artists whose proposals will have a low impact on the space. In explaining your work plan, also make note of steps to be taken to care for the space.

Space will be provided to selected residents free of charge; artists are also given $500 for materials. No other honoraria or artists fees are offered.  The residency is open to both New York area artists as well as those from other parts of the United States who wish to spend time and work in the city. Please be advised that we are unable to fund travel or living expenses.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.

Artists who are accepted into the program must commit to using their studio a significant amount of time each week. 

During the residency, artists will be expected to engage with the public through open studio events, an informal illustrated talk on BRIC’s stoop, or through other forms of audience engagement. 

BRIC will provide exposure for your work through multiple means, including studio visits with curatorial staff from BRIC and other local institutions, as well as profiles published on BRIC’s website and/or blog.

This residency is available only to professional, practicing artists and MFA students.

Rejmyre Art LAB's residency program

http://rejmyreartlaborg.ipage.com/residency.html

Rejmyre Art LAB's residency program is run and constructed by artists in response to our own needs and changing modes of production. Our residencies often consist of a mix of dedicated time for developing ideas and work, collaborative exercises, intensive peer critique, theoretical discussion groups, communal meals and play. 

While many residency programs are rooted in notions of isolation, our emphasis is placed on engaging the "local context" of each residency as fuel and material for artistic development.  The "local context" is understood to include the residency itself [as a structure imposed on a site], the people, place and histories surrounding the residency, the community of practitioners assembled and each participant's experience of displacement into the given moment.

Rejmyre Art LAB aims to support a range of contemporary artistic processes, many of which present significant challenges to the image of the isolated artist in their cloistered studio.  Participants in our program create conceptual propositions, objects, and temporal works situated in public and private spaces.  To support this range of work, we craft and maintain a network of local connections to facilitate social access and a mix of public and private studio spaces, making our open studio space accessible to the public while still allowing for the intensive engagement with self and site that a solitary studio engenders.

As this is a very special program [as far as we know, requiring an unprecedented commitment, in the world of residencies, on the part of the [P]resident and hosts], we have decided not to have a formal application process but prefer to construct one with each interested person or group.

Some things that might be helpful to know, we are an artist-run organization composed of artists who live in or near Rejmyre. We treat this residency structure itself as an art project. This is not a business venture nor is it supported or constrained by any grantors, governments or corporations. We have no staff for this portion of the project.

As for the technical details, we would work with the selected [P]residents to consider the form and means by which they would like to travel to Rejmyre for the two-year residency period. There is no per diem or formal material budget available. We run a number of projects in the town and there will be opportunities to participate in those but [P]resident’s are responsible for their own sustenance [material, spiritual and otherwise, aside from the apartment and studio space], during the term of their unmediated presence in Rejmyre.

This is a special construct that will not be right for most people, maybe for no one. We’ve structured it with a mix of pragmatism and conceptual integrity. An institution with a bigger budget could make it easier financially but they would probably never desire, imagine or create such a space. We are ready to imagine and create how this structure could be possible together with you. If after reading this, you are still drawn to this invitation, please write: info@artlabprojects.org.

Visual Arts in Rural Communities

http://varc.org.uk/residency/

Each resident artist develops a body of work for exhibition at the end of the residency and engages with individuals and groups from the area and further afield through workshops, open studio days, artists’ talks and other events.

VARC looks for artists who feel that twelve months spent living in an isolated rural location will significantly benefit their practice and who enjoy contact with people and want to be part of a community.

International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory 2016–17

Closing date for submissions (postmark): Fri January 29, 2016

Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen invites visual and media artists, art critics, theorists, and curators to apply for a fellowship in 2016–2017. Candidates can apply for one semester (October 3, 2016 – February 12, 2017 or February 13, 2017 – June 24, 2017). The fellowship can be split across two semesters.  Institution  Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is a post-graduate center for production, research, exchange in the fields of visual arts and art theory. Within the framework of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, the Künstlerhaus provides a platform that facilitates the development and production of artistic and art-theoretical projects in a critical context. At the same time, Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen offers a forum for direct exchange between professionals – artists, theoreticians, critics, and curators – from the region and abroad, as well as a point of interaction with local interested audiences. Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is affiliated with the Tyrolean Artists' Association, the major association of visual artists from the region.  Büchsenhausen brings together two programs under one roof. On the one hand, it is the site of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory. On the other hand, it is the location of several studios for artists based in Tyrol who require space for working in a professionally interesting environment. Three apartment studios are used by the participants in the fellowship program. The other six studios are available to artists based in Tyrol. The project and presentation space is equipped with multimedia facilities and is at the fellows' disposal. The space was designed by Atelier van Lieshout.  International Fellowship Program  With its Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, Büchsenhausen promotes internationally relevant artistic production, research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol. The program is based on the idea of generating and maintaining a context for production and discussion, in which artists and theorists can connect and reflect on international art and societal discourses in relation to local topics and issues. At the same time, it affords the opportunity for an artistic laboratory of experimentation, where new artistic practices and strategies may be tried out.  The program's aims are:  * to promote and relay a critical, socially relevant production of knowledge in art and art theory;  * to produce, through the fellowship projects, qualified discourses on art and society within the local and global contexts;  * to enable the transfer of knowledge between the field of art and other publics outside the art context;  * to facilitate the exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts).  The program combines the advantages of a residency with the possibilities of a postgraduate, non-university lectureship on the basis of an open, non-formalized structure. In terms of content, the program addresses a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory, and criticism.  The fellows are selected by a jury of experts following an open call for applications. They come to Büchsenhausen for one or two semesters to work on realizing their proposed undertaking, and accompany this process with public events. For this purpose, Büchsenhausen offers a monthly stipend, a production budget, working spaces, free lodging, and artistic and technical advice.  The conveyance and discussion of the fellow’s own work occurs parallel to the development of the individual proposals. The public events take place in series. The focus of these series of events is determined by the respective emphases of the various fellows' works. Within the framework of this discursive format, the fellows (or their guests) can present various points in their investigations, open up their works-in-progress to critical discussion, interact with experts who they invite, work through content with the public, and/or try out new ways of working. The fellowship year ends with a group exhibition curated by the director of the Fellowship Program.  For former and current fellows and their realized work please visit the navigation point Fellows.  Fellowship  > a grant of EUR 3,150 to cover the costs of living during the period of residency in Innsbruck;  > an individual studio for working and living, furnished with a large shared kitchen;  > a production budget for the realization of the submitted proposal;  > a budget for inviting experts to Büchsenhausen for the purpose of professional exchange;  > the opportunity of a group exhibition at the end of the fellowship at the Kunstpavillon in Innsbruck.  Facilities  > free access to the 'Lab', the project/gallery space;  > free use of the available multimedia production equipment in the 'Lab';  > free DSL/WLAN Internet access;  > professional artistic advice;  > technical advice if required.  Eligibility  Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship.  Requirements  The application must include a concrete work proposition. Work on the submitted proposal forms the core of each fellow's activities during his/her stay in Büchsenhausen. A description of a series of public events intended to accompany the individual work during the duration of the fellowship (up to four events) is also an integral part of the working proposal. If the application is successful, the fellows are required to specify the details of the presentation series and carry out the proposed program.  The fellows declare themselves willing to be present at Büchsenhausen for the duration of the fellowship. Working knowledge of English is required.  Selection  The selection of fellows is made by a jury of experts and based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the proposed undertaking and the work samples submitted by the applicants. The jury includes the director of Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen, a member of the advisory board at Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen and one external expert.  The selection procedure occurs in two stages.  In the first stage, the submitted applications are evaluated and the jury makes a shortlist of candidates who will be invited to Büchsenhausen for personal interviews.  The personal interview with the jury forms the second stage. For the interview, the applicants have to come to Innsbruck to personally present their working plans and aims during the fellowship. Büchsenhausen will pay for accommodation in Innsbruck for one night, but cannot cover the costs for travel to Innsbruck. Alternatively, a video conference (for instance via Skype) is also possible.  There is no legal right to be awarded a fellowship at Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen. The jury is therefore under no obligation to justify decisions. The jury's decision will be communicated in written form in March 2016 (first stage) and April 2016 (second stage).  Application procedure  Applications are to be written in English or German. Applications must include the following documents:  > the working proposal (max 2,000 words, 3 copies)  > a visual portfolio/documentation of recent works (artists: The artistic portfolio can be submitted in paper form, on DVD or CD, or digitally via a link (max 2 catalogs, max 10 photos, 1 DVD/CD-ROM); theorists/art critics: 1 recent writing sample, 3 copies)  > a curriculum vitae (3 copies)  > the printed confirmation e-mail of the filled electronic application form (1 copy)  Please note: with the exemption of artistic portfolios, all application documents must be sent by post.  The address to which the applications must be posted is:  Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen  Ref.: "Fellowship 2016-17"  Weiherburggasse 13  6020 Innsbruck  Austria  Closing date for submissions (postmark): Friday, January 29th, 2016  A collection of the most frequently asked questions (and their answers) can be found in the FAQ - area.  For additional information, please contact:  office@buchsenhausen.at, phone +43 512 278627, fax -11. http://buchsenhausen.at/modules.php?op=modload&name=PagEd&file=index&topic_id=8&page_id=11

Visiting Research Fellowships – Henry Moore Institute, Leeds

The Henry Moore Institute is a world-recognised centre for the study of sculpture. We host a year-round programme of exhibitions, conferences and lectures, as well as developing research and publications, to expand the understanding and scholarship of historical and contemporary sculpture.

Each year we offer a number of Fellowships to enable researchers of different backgrounds and disciplines to develop their work. Research Fellowships are intended for artists, scholars and curators working on historic and contemporary sculpture who can make particular use of the Institute’s resources: our Research Library, Archive of sculptors’ papers and the Leeds sculpture collections.

Up to four Research Fellows will be given the opportunity to spend a month in Leeds. In addition we will support up to two six-week Senior Fellowships, which are intended to give established scholars time and space to develop a research project free from usual work commitments.

Both Fellowships provide accommodation, travel expenses and a per diem.

For more information on the Henry Moore Institute Research Fellowships visit our website www.henry-moore.org/hmi.

To apply for either Fellowship forward a letter of application, a 750-word research proposal, that also indicates how you will use our resources, and a CV by Tuesday 1 March 2016 to kirstie(at)henry-moore.org.
