The FIELD KITCHEN ACADEMY is an interdisciplinary educational residency programme that gathers artists/ creative minds, a resident chef and prominent experts from different fields together around a kitchen table through mind-opening acts and actions.

On its second edition, a total of 11 interdisciplinary residents will be selected to join the upcoming FIELD KITCHEN ACADEMY in its three modules. Curated by Ece Pazarbaşı, this year, under the title of THE CURIOUS LOOP, we will use the notion of loops-in-sound as a gateway to other concepts of repetition, offering a variety of individual and collective experiences. Loops represent a time that is suspended, which is a compressed source of the past, present and the future. The loop also oscillates between the known and the unknown; as for the viewer and listener it could unfold to a future of known (as it repeats the same material over and over again), but also it may relate to an unknown (as surprises are always welcome), and one never knows if the loop will be broken with an unknown sound or visual component - no matter how well defined and repeated the loop has developed in the past. If one cannot step into the same river twice, and if one opens to perception with all senses, what differences can we find in each loop?

Composed of three intertwined modules that allow for different durations in the residency, the program is open to application from all disciplines and all walks of life. The selected residents will have the opportunity of pursuing processes of experimentation, discussion, trial and error, the progression of knowledge, and know-how in working sessions during the first 3 weeks. The last half week will be the ‘simmering’ period where the residents are expected to do NOTHING but only LISTENING.

* for the Covid-19 measures at the Field Kitchen Academy /// The Curious Loop, please visit our website.

** The outcome of the Field Kitchen Academy’s three working sessions will be presented as part of The Curious Loop Public Program. The Public Program is partially supported by Musikfonds and Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.

Location: GUTSHAUS WÜSTEN-BUCHHOLZ, Perleberg, Germany / app. 2 hrs. away from Berlin. Selected participants will be announced by 6 July 2020.

Alps Art Academy

Open call: Summer School for Land and Environmental Art

The third international Alps Art Academy will take place between June 25–July 4, 2020, in the Safiental (Grisons, Switzerland). Located in Tenna, 1650 meters above sea level, the summer school focuses on Land and Environmental Art.

In a dialogue with the canonized Land Art of the 1960s–70s, the Academy focuses on contemporary approaches to Land and Environmental Art by bringing them into a relationship with the Alpine landscape. We wish to create a platform of potentialities for the contemporary and future Land Art, which integrates not only natural landscape and the environment but also other “media” and the wider social context.

We encourage proposal submissions from artists working with landscape and the environment across genres and media, as well as from theoreticians, facilitators and curators engaged in research on the topic of Land Art. We welcome applications accompanied by a concrete concept that can be realized during the period of the summer school. The concepts should reflect the 2020 Alps Art Academy theme “ANALOG – DIGITAL.”

Program

Gathering circa thirty participants over a period of ten days, the Academy offers a rich program of workshops, seminars, field trips, artist talks and presentations, as well as a thematic symposium. Participants have the opportunity to explore what does it mean to create in, and interact with, the Alpine landscape and apply their experience in their work. Participants work together with international instructors who offer practical and theoretical mentoring. The Academy is linked to the Land Art Biennale Art Safiental (July 4–October 18, 2020) and offers an opportunity to present final projects.

Instructors

Matthias Bildstein (AT), Les Frères Chapuisat (CH), Sally de Kunst (BE/CH), Fragmentin (CH), Gabriela Gerber / Lukas Bardill (CH), Hanna B. Hölling (CH/UK), Richard Saxton (USA), Ella Tetrault (CAN), Lucie Tuma (CH) and additional guests.

The FIELD KITCHEN ACADEMY is an interdisciplinary educational residency programme that gathers artists/ creative minds, a resident chef and prominent experts from different fields together around a kitchen table through mind-opening acts and actions.

A total of 10 interdisciplinary residents will be selected to join the upcoming FIELD KITCHEN ACADEMY in its two modules. Curated by Ece Pazarbaşı, this year, under the title of SILENCE WITH THE CONSENT OF SOUND, we will use the notion of silence in sound as a gateway to opening various sensory experiences. We will experiment towards transgressing the well-accustomed idea that silence as used as a “sound” component in sound art and music, which creates an aspect of empowering the work itself by making it stronger. Use of silence can accentuate the other frequencies, and at the same time sound might accentuate the silence further. Yet, silence in sound also creates a passage to other senses of the body. With silence, the journey with sound enables quick shifts and glitches from auditory senses to the enhanced senses of sight, touch, smell, and taste.

Composed of two intertwined modules, the program is open to application from all disciplines and all walks of life. The selected residents will have the opportunity of pursuing processes of experimentation, discussion, trial and error, the progression of knowledge, and know-how in working sessions during the first 3 weeks. The last half week will be the ‘simmering,’ listening, reflection period where the residents are expected to do NOTHING.

The Field Kitchen Academy offers 1(one) SCHOLARSHIP to a successful applicant to cover the entire residency fee for Module #1 (between 16 August-11 September) together with accommodation and meals.

Location: GUTSHAUS WÜSTEN-BUCHHOLZ, Perleberg, (Brandenburg) Germany /

UNIDEE - University of Ideas

UNIDEE welcomes your application to participate in one or more of its modules for the 2019 Spring and Summer Terms.
Application deadline: 29 April, 2019

Chto Delat, Still from video film 'The Excluded At the moment of danger', 2014

Initiated by artist Michelangelo Pistoletto in 1999, UNIDEE – University of Ideas is the higher educational programme for art and social change of Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto (Italy). Based on interdisciplinary research, knowledge sharing and field activities, the programme fosters processes of cross-pollination to investigate the relationship between art and public sphere. Organized around intensive modules, the programme is open to artists and other practitioners from all over the world to develop formal, theoretical and critical skills and provides enrolled fellows with feedback and resources to facilitate and support their practices. Each module is moderated by a visiting mentor and is specifically designed to train "artivators”, people who intend to use art as a methodology, practice and language advancing the notion of art as a public sphere and political action.

2019 marks the 20th anniversary of UNIDEE and to celebrate the beginning of its third decade, Cittadellarte has organized a dedicated programme with new activities and special themes. Curated by visiting curator Valerio Del Baglivo, the modules programme is organized around three key concepts that exemplify the mission and history of Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto:

COLLECTIVE AGENCY – a series of modules exploring the potential of collective action and its political implications: artists Chto Delat and Adelita Husni Bey will introduce participants to pedagogic embodiment, anti-authoritarianism togetherness and perfomativity;

CLIMATE ACTION – a summer camp to rediscuss the human impact on our planet and imagine a postpetrol society: artists Brett Bloom, Luigi Coppola and Fernando Garcia Dory will discuss how to engage in long-term art projects considering agroecology, microorganisms as social systems and forms of de-industrialization of the self in times of climate breakdown.

MODES OF INSTITUTING – a series of meetings rethinking how we can establish ethical principles to build our institutions not only as centres of power, hierarchy, control and discipline (names to be announced in May).

Furthermore, new exciting features have been added to the 2019 UNIDEE programme: underlying its interdisciplinary nature, each of the key concepts is introduced by a public talk of an expert from another discipline (venues and names to be announced soon); reinforcing UNIDEE publishing activity, a CALL FOR PAPERS is launched offering artists and theoreticians to respond the 2019 key concepts; and finally a new rich package of fee reductions and fee waiver is available - including free spots for artist-mothers, reductions for newly arts graduates, a seven days free module supported by Zegna, and much more.

Since 1999 the programme has registered the participation of more than 480 students from 52 different countries.
Previous mentors have been Assemble, Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabi, Franco “Bifo” Berardi, Viviana Checchia, Etcetera, Iliana Fokianaki, Germano Celant, Rick Lowe, Matteo Lucchetti, Viktor Misiano, Antoni Muntadas, Adrian Paci, STEALTH.unlimited, Jeanne van Heeswijk, Jason Waite among others. UNIDEE Air programme has established collaborations with organizations such as Fundación Museos de la Ciudad (Ecuador), Yarat Contemporary Art Space (Azerbaijan), Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation (India), A.M. Qattan Foundation (Palestine) and many others.

Cittadellarte
Instituted in 1998 by artist Michelangelo Pistoletto as a concrete development of his Progetto Arte Manifesto — a direct call to artists to initiate social changes in their own contexts —, Cittadellarte aims at inspiring and producing responsible changes in society through ideas and creative projects. Pistoletto has translated the Foundation’s mission into the symbol of the Third Paradise: in his words “a reconfiguration of the mathematical infinity sign, made of three consecutive circles. The two external circles represent all the diversities and antinomies, among which nature and artifice. The central one is given by the compenetration of the opposite circles and represents the generative womb of a new humanity”. Since then, Cittadellarte has built a network of autonomous and connected "ambassadors of the Third Paradise," a group of agents that represent initiatives of social and political transformation worldwide. These ambassadors follow the practices of Demopraxia, a methodology leading the whole society to participate concretely in the exercise of the government.

Application procedure
Applicants must submit their application by email to: unidee@cittadellarte.it stating “UNIDEE 2019 application (your name)” as a subject line.
Applicants must attach the following documents (up to 8 MB in total):
(1) the application form (download here)
(2) a selected portfolio (max 3 projects, one single pdf, max 6 MB)

Application deadline: Monday 29th April

Partners
UNIDEE patrons are Piedmont Region, Compagnia di San Paolo, CRT Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Torino, Fondazione Zegna, illycaffè S.p.A.
UNIDEE AIR partners are A.M. Qattan Foundation (PS); Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation (IN); Fundación Museos de la Ciudad (EC); Yarat Contemporary Art Space (AZ).

CAMP - 2019 Program

Live, work and study with Laure Prouvost, Adbusters, Bill Drummond, Laurel Halo, Center for Political Beauty & more.
Deadline: various workshop dates
Application fee: No application fee, courses cost €1299 / $1429 / £1119, grants, bursaries and discounts are available

CAMP is the first of a new breed of arts residency. We run five-day residential arts, music, writing, philosophy, environmental and arts-activist sessions. These are no ordinary courses - they are intense, artistic catalysts run by internationally acclaimed practitioners; creative flashpoints designed to change the lives of everyone involved. Our current program includes opportunities to study with Turner Prize winner Laure Prouvost, celebrated composer Gavin Bryars, Cabaret Voltaire founder and world-famous sound recordist Chris Watson, electronic producer of the moment Laurel Halo, KLF/K-Foundation co-founder Bill Drummond, NYC avant-garde composer/sound artist Eli Keszler, art-activists Adbusters, the Center for Political Beauty, and many others.

It's a place where great art is made, new movements are formed, new ideas are explored and groundbreaking people are nurtured. It's about generating revolutions, incubating creative minds and bringing the best emerging practitioners in all artistic fields to their full potential.
The focus of CAMP is to use what we have – our artistic network, our facilities, our various record labels and publishing operations, our relationships with acclaimed artists and our artist support platforms – to provide people with a catalytic, game-changing masterclass experience, in inspiring surroundings.

Local information: CAMP is located in Aulus les Bains, the last village before the France/Spain Pyrenean frontier chain. The location is spectacular - we are nestled at 750m above sea level, surrounded by snowcapped peaks over 3000m high, ancient forests and cascading waterfalls. There are eagles, lammergeiers, vultures, ibex and bears.
Walk out of the residency, and within ten minutes you are completely alone in one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in Europe. Aulus les Bains is also a spa village - there are hot water springs, and a thermal spa in the village to take advantage of the healing and relaxing properties of the water.

CAMP provides accommodation for all participants on-site, in the form of private, peaceful rooms with mountain views. CAMP also houses advanced facilities available to all residential students - recording facilities, digital video and photography editing suites, rehearsal and performance spaces, fine art studios, a cinema, an arts library and numerous installation spaces. All food and drinks, including local specialities, wine and cheese, are included.

Artists benefit from an intense, catalytic learning experience studying their chosen discipline with one of the most celebrated artists in their field. They live, eat, study and create with their session leader(s) for a week, gaining new skills and insights, building their network, learning new techniques and approaches.

After the session, all participants benefit from our post-course support. We run an art gallery and performance venue in the UK, a publishing house, three record labels, a radio station and are part of an extensive European touring network. We provide ongoing support to all participants, offering exhibition, release, broadcast, touring and publication opportunities, as well as ongoing training and networking.
We're extremely keen that our sessions form a career-changing point in an artist's professional life.

Additionally, attendees can take part in optional activities to make the most of their stay in this incredible place - mountain expeditions, wildlife walks and visits to some of the most beautiful spots in the area.

Grants, bursaries and educational discounts are available - see campfr.com/funding for more details.

The other two are also renowned in the world of photography, Elisabeth Biondi, Visuals Editor, 1996-2011 at The New Yorker, also an independent curator and writer; Lyle Rexer, a critic and curator – both faculty at the School of Visual Arts, New York.

The School for Curatorial Studies is an ambitious and challenging project promoted since 2004 and conceived as a school committed to experimentation and interdisciplinary thinking. The main goals are to spread the knowledge in the field of visual arts and to introduce the students to the professions related to the art world, focusing on contemporary curatorial theory and practice and contemporary museology. The School’s activities are meant for all those interested and passionate in art, graduated students or professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and improve their practical skills. The School’s teaching staff is formed by Italian and international professionals, scholars, historians and art critics of recognized experience. Among them: Matt Williams (curator), Filippo Lotti (Sotheby’s), Chiara Barbieri (Peggy Guggenheim Collection), Francesca Colasante (Pinault Collection), Andrea Goffo (Found. Prada), Nicola Lees (Serpentine London).

The program:

The Summer School in Curatorial Practice will take place during the 58th International Art Biennale Venice. With an interdisciplinary approach, the course provides practical training and experience within museums and exhibition settings. Its international faculty includes curators and museum professionals, artists and critics. The course is designed to increase students understanding of the intellectual and technical tasks of the curator figure. English-taught lectures cover both theoretical and practical topics that go from the history of contemporary visual arts and practices of exhibition-making, to Exhibition Management. The students will participate in weekly activities, such as artist studio visits, tours of exhibition spaces, networking events and workshops. The program culminates with the set up of the exhibition.

The Summer School includes visits of specific art venues all over the city of Venice during the 58th International Art Venice Biennale. A series of selected case studies will offer the students an opportunity to observe the development of contemporary art. The School’s goal is to align these specific theoretical lectures with a practical approach. Besides the theoretical lectures, a series of laboratories and workshops aims to introduce the students to the work of critical text writing, press releases and to structure all the different aspects of publishing. The students will be offered the possibility of a gallery training and of setting up together - with one of our tutors, their exhibition in Venice, as a final project of the course.
