OPEN CALL - Watermans 2012 New Media Exhibitions project
To coincide with the Olympics in London in 2012, Watermans is pleased to
announce a unique opportunity to present a series of groundbreaking
installations exploring interactivity and participation in New Media and Digital
Art. Much New Media / Digital Art is increasingly aimed at interaction with the
audience and artists are continuously exploring new ways of viewer
participation.
This year long project proposes to showcase the work of distinguished artists
from all continents, including a British artist, with an interest in projects
concerned with ways of participation, interactivity or collaboration and
consider the use or importance of technologies in their work. With this we are
hoping to initiate and enable a series of discussions around the meaning,
possibilities and issues around human interaction and engagement in New Media
art and bring in responses from artists, academics, students, art professionals
and visitors in the UK and internationally.
OPEN CALL:
Artists and art collectives from all countries working with new media and
digital technologies are invited to submit proposals of existing or new
projects. Interested artists can propose to show more than one installation or
projects and we will welcome applications from individuals, art collectives or
collaborations between artists.
We would like to invite artists to propose imaginative, ambitious and
inspirational projects that will transform our understanding of art and the way
it can be experienced. We will particularly focus on installations with an
emphasis on participatory activity (interaction with the audience) in order to
engage visitors in a creative, exploratory and inspirational journey prior to
and during the Games.
Please send your proposals including:
● work(s) description
● CV(s) and artist statement
● supporting material with description (jpgs, urls, videos etc)
● list of technical requirements, equipment, materials required for the
proposed work(s)
● contact details
Budget
Each selected artist/art collective will receive a fixed fee of £3,500 to cover
fees & project costs, installation and work transport. In addition, Watermans
will cover travel and accommodation costs in London and will also provide
technical assistance and exhibition promotion.
The deadline for receiving proposals is 24th February 2011.
Please send all application material to:
Irini Papadimitriou Head of New Media Arts Development Watermans
40 High Street Brentford, London TW8 0DS UK
email: ir...@watermans.org.uk
A judging panel will select the six projects which will be announced in
March/April 2011. The exhibitions will run throughout 2012 (January - October)
and the project will provide an opportunity
for presenting a series of innovative and interactive digital/new media art
installations never before staged in London. With this project we hope to engage
and challenge artists and audiences in new and unexpected ways.
In conjunction with the exhibitions, and in partnership with Goldsmiths,
University of London, we are planning to run a series of seminars related to the
exhibitions, a mentoring scheme for students as well as generate online activity
with a website dedicated to the project and the use of social media such as
blogs, feeds etc to engage wider audiences in the project and enable critical
debate. Online visitors will be able to follow the development of each
exhibition as well as the artists’ work from their studio on its way to the
gallery in London. Information about the seminars and mentoring scheme will be
announced soon.
