CALLOUT: Mini Residency at the Wick Common Shop 

-  please share!  -

 

The Wick Curiosity Shop is seeking artists, makers and thinkers to use 'The Wick Common Shop' for a mini residency anytime in May or June. 

The Wick Common Shop is not a shop. It is an archive, a billboard, a venue for discussion, a studio and sometimes a shop.

The Shop documents the areas unofficial and “minor” history through an eclectic collection of memories, local produce, memorabilia, oral history, songs and stories. It doesn’t provide an overarching narrative, but a tapestry of mostly disregarded facts and experiences one can navigate in various ways creating as many narratives. For a six month period from February to July 2015 it is in residence in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park where it hosts events, workshops and exhibitions around the idea of the ‘Common Object’, artefacts which are not conceived for individual gain but which express ideas of a common good while at the same time unearthing and revealing hidden relationships or narratives about the locality.

 

We are looking to support three proposals each with a modest budget of £250 (£200 fees and £50 materials). Proposals should span over a two day period including a Sunday but can last longer if the needed. Residencies can happen any time in May or June and should have a ‘public moment’ to allow visitors to the Park to engage with the work.

 

The Wick Common Shop is open Saturdays from 11am-5pm, A free ‘Shed Tour’ takes place every Saturday at 1pm. Additional events are advertised on our Website, via social media or at the Common Shop. Facebook: Wick Curiosity / Twitter: @wickcuriosity / Web: www.wickcuriosityshop.net

 

 

DEADLINE: 8th of May 2015

Budget available for the residency: £200 with a £50 material contribution
