Digital Fabrication Residency: Art, Technology & the Digital Craft of Making

Digital Fabrication Residency: Art, Technology & the Digital Craft of Making
Deadline: ongoing

Digital Fabrication Residency is a professional development program engaging artists with digital tools for project visualization and fabrication workflows for 3D printing, CNC routing, laser cutting, digital embroidery, textile printing, animation and other platforms. A core concept of this program is to engage in the digital craft of making as it concerns technology augmenting with traditional fabrication concepts, processes and materials.  Residents learn software workflows and become knowledgeable in current applications of technology in the production of art.

Our program consists of an online program that includes group workshops, individual project development, guest speakers and invaluable resource information for understanding digital fabrication workflows. We also offer an Online/Onsite residency that is specifically catered to individual project goals that develop initially through online project development finalizing with onsite learning with machines and fabrication with the artist. Both programs provide artists with limited licenses to selected software and optional 3D print, laser cut, textile print or digital embroidery resources.  Also as part of our programing, Digital Fabrication Residency hosts online guest speaker presentations during the residency session that are open to residents and the public.

Digital Fabrication Residency seeks to empower artists with working knowledge of digital tools as they concern contemporary art studio practices. From concept to execution, we offer a range of informative programs and services to educate and facilitate artists.  We welcome applicants of beginner to advanced levels. Please see our application for additional information concerning application requirements.

KLEIN ARTIST WORKS

The next 10-week, live, Klein Artist Works course begins Monday, June 15^th.

Klein Artist Works is an online course which thoroughly demystifies the art world and equips visual artists with the practical tools needed to pursue and achieve successful art careers. It shows you how the art world works, and introduces you to significant experts who share their success, insights, secrets, and tell you how to get on their radar. And you can ask them questions in real time.

Check out some of the KAW Experts: Pictured from left to right are Nick Cave, Alice Aycock,
Simon de Pury, Jerry Saltz, Michelle Grabner, Eric Fischl, Jessica Stockholder and Theaster Gates.

This is an outstanding opportunity to accelerate your career.

During the 10-week Klein Artist Works course we will have hour-long, live webinars every Monday evening. (If you can't participate live, recordings are sent out with 24 hours. Or you can access all the recordings at a reduced price.)

We will discuss acknowledged art world experts - gallery owners, art critics, museum directors, curators, art consultants, successful artists, and others who demystify the art world.

You will be overwhelmed by the amount of constructive, solid, compassionate information you'll receive. You also get a personal, one-on-one strategy session, solely to discuss your objectives, your career, and how to achieve the success you want. All webinars are recorded and you'll have your own archive to reference forever.

Beyond the live webinars, there are over 200 previously recorded webinars that are yours free. Like the live sessions, they are jam-packed with valuable information from outstanding experts.

It’s a built-in introduction to major figures. Can you imagine walking up to a curator or gallerist at your favorite museum or gallery and saying “I heard your Klein Artist Works webinar, and you were fabulous. Can we talk about something you said?”

Payment Plans are available. You can pay as little as $100 per month.

Your Success Awaits. Please check out the Klein Artist Works website and sign up for the Free Introductory Webinar.

Klein Artist Works will change your life.

Warm Regards,

Paul Klein

Chrom-Art call for artists:TRIBE

Chrom-Art call for artists:TRIBE
Deadline for applications: 31 July 2015

Chrom-Art is pleased to announce the Call for Artists for our upcoming project TRIBE.

All UNREPRESENTED artists working in ALL media invited to apply now until 31/7/15.

An alternative Arts festival involving art sale, live street-art, immersive theatre, video,music and dance, TRIBE will be on at 47/49 Tanner St, London, 4-6 September 2015.

Exploring the theme of BELONGING, the group show proposes a radically new exhibition format that replaces the conventional artist-curator model with a collaborative, artist as curator one. Taking as starting point our need for belonging – the third most vital human need according to Andrew Maslow – it empowers the selected artists to become active curators of their own (and each other’s) work. Split into tribes these will be asked to take curatorial decisions with regards to the exhibition’s layout and ways of engaging with the public. A moderator assigned by Chrom-Art will be overseeing their activity, but will not interfere in the process of curation.

To reflect the experimental and innovative nature of the show, the exhibition will take place in a unique and versatile space: a Victorian warehouse spanning three floors, a garage and outside space.

Artists interested are required to submit a strong, cohesive body of work produced within the last five years that responds to the theme of BELONGING and addresses the uniqueness of the space. Moving image and installation works are particularly welcome.

If work will be created specifically for the show, artists are encouraged to keep in mind that TRIBE is an interactive, participative and collaborative experience for both the artists taking part and the public attending. The broad scope of the project is to facilitate a social-artistic experience that will enable artists to manifest the innate human ability to work together towards a goal that is greater than the addition of the parts. An ability that is largely spontaneous, fast and auto coordinated.

The JHB Archive – Open Submission Opportunity
Deadline: June 30, 2015

Brief:

In 1961 Nuneaton Museum purchased a sculpture by Julian Henry Beck, an artist, engineer and photographer. This sculpture has since gone missing and all that remains is the truncated accession record (see image on next page). Artists are invited to produce a version of this sculpture in any media based upon the information that has been recorded. This may take any form and could also be based on more ephemeral elements of the sculpture such as what it would sound or smell like. As the accession record exists as digital data, submissions that interpret the data using digital technologies and processes are particularly encouraged.

Please send the following as a single PDF to info@jogane.co.uk with the subject heading JHB Archive Submission.

Title the PDF Surname First name
3-5 images (72dpi at 1000px maximum length) or links to previous work that give an
idea of what the proposed work will be.
A short statement (300-500 words) describing what you propose to exhibit and
how this links to the description of the missing sculpture.
Installation requirements and dimensions
A one page artist CV including contact details and a website link.

A panel of visual arts specialists will select the works to be included in the exhibition. The panel consists of Karen Newman, Director of Birmingham Open Media (www.BOM.org.uk) Caitlin Griffiths, Visual Artist and Mentoring Manager for the Space (www.caitlingriffiths.com) and Jo Gane, Photographer, Educator and Archivist for the JHB Archive Project (www.jogane.co.uk)

About the National Botanic Garden of Wales
http://www.gardenofwales.org.uk/

The National Botanic Garden of Wales (the Garden) is a registered charity, opened to the public in May 2000 as one of three Millennium Projects in Wales. It is the only one situated outside the nation’s capital, occupying a site of historic parkland covering approximately 220 hectares (560 acres). The Garden is a showcase for some of the world’s most endangered plants and incorporates the Waun Las National Nature Reserve which is run as an organic farm.

In its first 15 years it has received more than 2.2 million visitors. It is an embodiment of the old and the new, with 18th century features set alongside the futuristic, iconic single-span glasshouse designed by Foster and Partners. The Great Glasshouse has become an international landmark for Wales and is home to the best collection of Mediterranean climate zone plants in the world. The Garden is recognised as a national asset for the people of Wales.

Its work is determined by its Ten-Year Strategic Plan, its vision is the well-being of people, plants and the planet through “Conservation, Education, Inspiration” and its mission is to dedicate itself to the research and conservation of biodiversity, to sustainability, lifelong learning and the enjoyment of the visitor. The Garden has a strong track-record of working positively with artists of all disciplines and has several areas that are likely to be of interest to the residency, including its horticultural collections, its active research in plant conservation science with particular interest in the role of pollinators, its landscape and National Nature Reserve, and its library resources.

Possible areas of research (but not restricted to);

Saving Plants and Pollinators
The importance of the Garden for Society
The plants and fungi of Waun Las
The Mediteranean collections of rare and endangered plants
The library and herbarium resources e.g. James Cosmo Melvill herbarium and Henry Bradbury’s Nature Printing

About flora
flora is an ambitious contemporary arts project curated by Oriel Davies and developed in partnership with six key organisations across the breadth of Wales from May 2015 and throughout 2016. The key project partners include five art galleries in Powys, Carmarthenshire, Torfaen, Ceredigion and Gwynedd and also The National Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthenshire.

From common weeds to exotic cultivars, flowers have been and are embedded in people’s lives across the globe, not least as inspiration to artists. The visually stunning exhibition both in the gallery and out in public sites presents new and existing work of nine key artists who present ways in which flowers make visible cultural, historical, geographic, social and scientific ideas.

After launching at Oriel Davies on 23 May the exhibition will tour to Oriel Myrddin in Carmarthen 19 September – 31 October 2015, Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw, near Pwllheli 20 March – 15 May 2016 and Aberystwyth Arts Centre 20 July – 17 September 2016.

Over the next eighteen months four new commissions, two artist residencies, and work on loan from national and international artists, private collectors and UK National and Regional collections will explore the powerful effect that flowers present within different arts practices.

Exhibiting Artists:
Emma Bennett, Michael Boffey, Anya Gallaccio, Ori Gersht, Owen Griffiths, Anne-Mie Melis, Jacques Nimki, Yoshihiro Suda, Clare Twomey
