Open call for artists – DISTANCE – Lacuna Festivals 2021
DISTANCE – Lacuna Festivals 2021 Deadline for applications: 31 March 2021 For this year’s Lacuna Festivals the theme is ‘Distance’, a suggestion from our creative community and one that feels globally appropriate for the current context of the year – DISTANCE The International Contemporary Art Festivals for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote will again (as in 2020) take place as LACUNA FESTIVALS, but over distance (due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic), using a range of online platforms including YouTube, ArtSteps, Flickr, Facebook and Instagram. There will be no physical festival or events this year and instead all exhibitions and events will take place digitally. This is just one of many reasons why the theme of DISTANCE felt so appropriate for this year. TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK FOR THE FESTIVAL – There are NO submission fees or other hidden charges, it is totally FREE to apply. We accept all submissions that relate to the festival theme. All creatives, artists, makers, designers, performers, writers, musicians etc are welcome to apply. The deadline for applications is 31st March 2021. How will you interpret the theme DISTANCE?

The Earth Of (Part Two): A Moment is A Reckoning
with Andrew Helton Spring 2021 | Virtual Program | 3/15/2021 – 4/24/2021 http://www.artslettersandnumbers.com/the-earth-of-part-two-a-moment-is-a-reckoning Why reelaborate today a concept of the archive? In a single configuration, equally technical and political, ethical and juridical?…No one ever renounces—and this is the unconscious itself—the appropriation of power over the document, over its detention, retention or its interpretation. -Jacques Derrida Reports that say something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know. -Donald Rumsfeld (on alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq) A moment is a rupture. It is a point at which the machinery (whether it’s time, domestic life, politics, civil obedience, work, health, etc.) we are all a part of breaks. Something becomes an object at the moment of rupture, when it is no longer (however briefly) a part of the machine. This is why moments become so important to us. It is a kind of freedom. A moment is a chance to feel as […]

Residency spring 2021 | Arts Letters & Numbers | Upstate NY
After a very successful first season, we are pleased to announce the second round of the Pilot Light Residency at Arts Letters & Numbers that will run until the end of May. The Pilot Light Residency was initially conceived as an antidote to the many restrictions that prevented us from running our usual programs as well as from the recognition that after many months in isolation, artists were in need of a change in context to connect to their creative endeavors. Today, we continue our efforts to provide creators with a space to work in while abstaining from scheduled programs, community events, communal dinners etc. Given our expansive quarantine procedure upon arrival, as well as, protocols for social distancing during the stay we are extending the residency program so as to accommodate as many artists as possible in the safest way possible. Participating artists in this program will be offered private accommodation and studio space for a reduced price of $250 a week. During this time each person will be fully independent, yet co-exist in shared spaces. PRIORITY At the moment, this program will only be offered to artists currently located within the US, who can arrive to ALN without […]
Open-Call: Paadmaan Video Event
OPEN CALL / Video Art + Video Documentation FREE entry Paadmaan Video Event is an international periodical video event born in Tehran, Iran, seeking to explore video documentations of recent contemporary works of art (e.g. installation, performance, new media) and Video Art in general. Organized by Paadmaan Projects, the Video Event considers ‘video’ as its central theme. The event emphasizes on video in the context of the art documentation, while addressing the challenges embedded within the so-called ‘documentation’ of contemporary art projects. Priority is given to works of art that portray these kinds of challenges, from the lens of the artist with attention to the artistic decisions made during the process of the documentation. The archival project is done in collaboration with itinerant venues to create an alternative platform for holding a collective discourse to amplify already-existing interdisciplinary art content, and to discuss reviewing documentation of art projects in terms of representation [in addition to the video screenings]. Sections: -Video documentation – Video Art Apply here: https://filmfreeway.com/PaadmaanVideoEvent Event dates: 19-24 November 2021

THIRD SHIFT 2021 Open-Call
THIRD SHIFT is an annual festival of public contemporary artworks that takes place in Saint John, New Brunswick and online. THIRD SHIFT 2021 will take place from August 19 – 22, 2021. Theme: TRAVERSE When we are having these calls it is important that all applicants think about their relationship to the land; THIRD SHIFT offers an opportunity to re-imagine and engage with the natural and built environment in what we now know as Saint John. The land on which THIRD SHIFT takes place is the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq Peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but, in fact, recognized Indigenous sovereign title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing, equitable, reciprocal, and respectful relationship between nations—a relationship that Third Space strives to uphold. We have an ongoing commitment to center Indigenous leadership and artistic expertise and we aim to foster meaningful relationships with Indigenous-led community groups through our festival. To learn more about Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages, the […]

Aurora in AIR @ viadellafucina16 – call for artists and curators
An artist-in-residency within VIADELLAFUCINA16 Condominio-Museo. An experiment of urban regeneration and collective transformation through the power of art. Turin, Italy. CONTEXT viadellafucina16 was launched by Kaninchen-Haus in 2016, with the aim of giving life to the world’s first experiment of a Condominium-Museum. The project occurs within a majestic 19th-century building, that we find today in a state of decline, in the heart of the Turin’s district Porta Palazzo, close to the city centre, where the biggest open air market in Europe rises. Through an international open call, whose 1st edition received over 400 candidacies, the artists have been invited to realize their artwork in the common areas of the building, with the purpose of promoting its regeneration and activating a dialogue among the tenants. The winning projects were selected by the inhabitants themselves (about 200 people of various nationalities, living in 53 apartments) with the support of our Scientific Committee of curators and insiders, on the basis of the artists’ ability to engage the community in the design and production of the artworks, to interpret the community’s desires and to activate new forms of sociality through a process of co-creation and collective care. “Condominium” is a Latin word formed […]

Condemned to canvas, pencils, wood and words
Condemned to canvas, pencils, wood and words Lilo C. Karsten Rahulla Torabi Paul Hirsch Daniel Scheffel Four artists work with juvenile delinquents In September and October 2020, four artists from the Frankfurt artists’ association EULENGASSE worked with young offenders, a project developed in cooperation with the Jugend-Kultur-Werkstatt Falkenheim Gallus e.V. (JKWF). The art projects were carried out one after the other in their sculpture workshop in Frankfurt’s Gutleutviertel. Each artist worked with young people for up to six afternoons and was therefore available for the young people in addition to the artistic media of the sculpture workshop. The artistic works that the young people produced in the four sub-projects are presented and offered for sale in this exhibition in the EULENGASSE exhibition space in Frankfurt/Germany. A publication and a podcast series will accompany the exhibition. The project is part of »Participate NOW!«, the 2020 annual theme of the art association and exhibition space EULENGASSE.
Through the looking glass

Archival Content Report
March 8, 2021 (Intl Womens Day) 2pm PST Archival Content Report Instagram videochat shares archival content from past exhibiting artists of the PKULTRA franchise. Examples of archival types include this Visual Art Source article: Rumi Koshino, “Some Songs Have No Words,” 2011, archival inkjet print on paper, installation view, dimensions variable Continuing through December 31, 2011 Rumi Koshino’s site-specific installation, Some Songs Have No Words, muses on the most salient features of Form/Space Atelier. Koshino’s paper pyramids echo the watery patterns of the gallery’s linoleum floor and its well-aged wooden steps. Form/Space Atelier is an odd venue: it’s dominated by a central staircase that quickly descends to a small, dead-end landing. Koshino’s series of small paper sculptures are constructed from digital photographs of the 1960s-era flooring and the shabby stairs. Turquoise pyramids sit on the floor, echoing and blending into the pattern of the linoleum. Rows of pyramids trail up the stairs, and as they do their pattern and coloring changes to match the color and texture of the stairs themselves. This quiet, well conceived installation uses transparent technique and execution to highlight the unusual architecture of the gallery. Step carefully, however, as the pyramids are not fixed to the […]
The Quarantine Exhibition
Solidarity at this difficult time is an important issue! “Quarantine Exhibition” is a virtual exhibition during fragile times. The COVID-19 pandemic changes our lives significantly day after day. Despite the current crisis, art is demonstrating its force. In April, after lockdown measures were put in place around the world, our immediate impulse was to bring together artists, friends, peers and professionals from any geographic location, with no limits on age, nationality, or career stage, through the format of a truly open, open call. The artists were motivated to submit a statement and an artwork in any medium of their choice, transmitting their immediate impressions during quarantine. With a total of 445 submissions, the open call shifted into a plethora of voices and impulses, as well as a cartography of the global sentiment. With a variety of strong and compelling works, the selection process became simultaneously exciting and challenging. Space52 and the selection committee have selected 60 artists that will be included in the exhibition. Selected international artists are invited to engage in a series of online exhibitions, eventually staging a gallery exhibition. Paying tribute to the solidarity shown by artists and institutions, at a time when art is suffering fully […]
