OPEN CALL FOR 2012 RESIDENCY PROGRAMME
Wysing Arts Centre invites applications for twelve six-week long artists’ residencies. The residencies are grouped into three ‘environments’ which take three metaphors as their starting points: The Cosmos, exploring the past/origins/knowledge; The Mirror, exploring the present/reflective/commentary; and The Forest, exploring the future/a return to nature/transformation. Four artists will be selected to work, at the same time, within each environment.
All three environments are influenced by literary references to other worlds and the merging of fact and fiction, in particular the writings of JG Ballard, Jorge Luis Borges, Michel Foucault, WG Sebald and Kurt Vonnegut. It is expected that resident artists will contribute to ongoing group discussions around literary and philosophical references and be prepared to take part in public discussions on their work and ideas in relation to the environments. The residency timeframes are:
The Cosmos, 1 April-11 May 2012
The Mirror, 15 July – 24 August 2012
The Forest, 4 November – 16 December 2012
See HERE for more information and details on how to apply. Application deadline: Friday 17 February 2012, 5pm.
