Eyelevel Gallery invites proposals from visiting artists, for our new residency program, Fieldwork, to take place from August to November 2015.
Deadline: 7 August 2015
Fieldwork
is a platform for artists to conduct and present research as it relates
to their practice in a setting outside of an exhibitionary complex.
The nature of this residency allows for a variety of publics to engage
with all parts of the artistic process and lays the groundwork for the
artist/s to engage with individuals outside of their discipline. There
is much opportunity
for collaboration with other institutions, particularly drawing on a
non-art audience through partnerships. Artistic results from the
residencies may come in the form of performances, screenings,
workshops, roundtables, texts, and more. Our intention is to support the
artist in presenting their work as a process, rather than a final
product.
this is research driven, artists are encouraged to give a presentation
during the course of their residency. This may take any shape or form
the resident deems most suited to their research, in consultation with
Eyelevel Gallery. Please suggest presentation strategies in your
proposal—traditional artist’s talk, workshop, podcast, walking tour,
community roundtable, blog or zine, etc.
artists will be selected for residencies between 4 and 8 weeks
duration. Start date is as early as the beginning of August and end date
as late as the end of November. Eyelevel will provide administrative
support in the form of budget management, and publicity. Workspace may
be arranged depending on the project. This project hinges on the
artist’s research taking place outside of a traditional artist-run
centre gallery context.
