Red Deer College has expanded its Visual Arts facility in the newly opened Center for Visual Art in the Four Centers Building and now has three purpose built Artist-in-Residence Studios. The studios are designed to attract artists to Red Deer and to give an opportunity for emerging and professional artists alike to engage in research in an inspiring environment with equipment that they would not otherwise have access to. The ambition of the program is to promote meaningful interaction between the students, the resident artists and the community at large. The AIR studios are available during two 15 week periods; September to December and January to April coinciding with the academic year.


IMMERSE YOURSELF
The new studios are designed to offer interested artists an opportunity to chart some new territory by stepping outside of their usual studio routine. Through the interaction with students and staff in the Visual Art Department and beyond the resident artist can take advantage of the opportunity to research and produce new work that contributes to their discipline. Collaborations across media and with the RDC’s Centre for Innovation in Manufacturing, where there is access to rapid prototyping, water-jet cutting, and CNC milling offer up possibilities that will prove to be fruitful and position RDC to be a destination for innovative art research.

Who is Eligible?
We are interested in hosting both emerging and established artists of all disciplines, practices, and nationalities. Artists applying should have a current and active practice and have completed their basic training and able to work in a self-directed manner.

GICBiennale 2011: International Competition

by | Feb 7, 2011 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, show us your influences, technical tuesday

Ceramic artists from across the world are invited to the Gyeonggi International Ceramix Biennale 2011.
The biennale, which will start on September 23, 2011 and run for 30 days, will be staged in three cities of Gyeonggi Province – the heart and soul of Korean ceramics.

Since 2001, the World Ceramic Biennale Korea (CEBIKO) has become a major international art festival for ceramic artists. Now we embark on a new adventure for decade ahead, taking up challenges along the way. To celebrate the change and innovation we have achieved since becoming the Korea Ceramic Foundation we proudly announce our Ceramix Art Festival. Here all genres of art will join with the world of ceramics under the theme ‘Journey from Fire’, and together will seek a new vision of ceramic art internationally.

This biennale will bring us together for a special journey into our collective imagination. In this journey, hearts and minds of creative people from across the globe will be united as one: ‘clay’ as the medium, and passion for creation will be the ‘fire’. We hope that this grand design will establish a new and important aspect of mass culture, enabling artists – and art aficionados – to realize a new form of integrated and visionary communication.

With a view to supporting ceramic artists around the world, the Korea Ceramic Foundation (KOCEF) also has in train plans to create art parks in the three Gyeonggi Province cities of Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju. Works by artists participating in the biennale will be permanently exhibited at these parks, which in turn will become a sort of ceramic utopia: Cerapia.

International Deadline: May 31, 2011 – The Korea Ceramic Foundation (KOCEF) would like to announce the Gyeonggi International Ceramix Biennale 2011 International Competition call for entries. Open to ceramic artists the world over.

The International Competition, one of the main parts of the biennale, has been a dynamic forum where the latest issues facing contemporary ceramics are explored since 2001. In the previous competition in 2009, we received big attention the world over; 1,726 artists from 70 countries submitted 3,196 artworks.

The events will be held for 30 days from September 24, 2011.

International Competition 2011 Eligibility
Open to ceramic artists the world over. Works in collaboration with other genres are all welcome but the majority of the works should be ceramic.

Awards
The winners of the competition will receive the large cash prizes. Total: KRW 223,000,000 ($193,900)/ Grand Prize: KRW 50,000,000 ($43,500)

Submissions
Submission of Images for Preliminary Screening, from April 1 to May 31, 2011

Only online submissions will be acceptable. (www.kocef.org) Digital images of the work, minimum 1,100 pixels wide in jpeg format are necessary. A single entry should be – when displayed – within these specified dimensions: 250cm (width); 250cm (depth); 250cm (height).

Submission of Actual Works for Final Selection, from July 21 to August 15, 2011.

At the final selection, all prizewinners will be determined. All entries that make it to the final round of screening may not be awarded. In this case, these works will be returned by KOCEF.

We invite you to let your imagination and creativity run wild!

Apply-online.
