The Photography Master Retreat

A one-week summer workshop in the south of France
Deadline: 3 March 2019
Entry fee: none

The Photography Master Retreat is a one-of-a-kind, career-enhancing opportunity for established and emerging photographers to engage in artistic introspection and professional critique. It’s not a shooting trip but a rare chance to pause, reflect on your work, and bond with peers who are passionate about photography. It is designed for a select group of 14 artists who have to apply.

The Photography Master Retreat was founded in 2014 as an annual, one-week, immersive workshop in her family home by Martine Fougeron, herself a celebrated photographer and artist, as well as faculty at International Center of Photography, New York. She is one of the three mentors at the retreat. 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 Photography Master Retreat 2019 edition will take place July 6-13, 2019 in the South of France, right after the opening week of Les Rencontres d’Arles nearby.

Application deadline: March 3, 2019

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 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.

TURPS CORRESPONDENCE COURSE

Catherine Cleary		Emma Roche

TURPS CORRESPONDENCE COURSE

Applications open now for 2018/19
Deadline: 31st August 2018

Turps Correspondence Course is an innovative project giving painters a critical perspective and challenging insights into their practice, wherever they are and at any point in their career, in the form of quarterly appraisals aimed at supporting their studio development.

During the year participants will engage in a structured two way process, during which time, they will present works and, in turn, receive feedback from a dedicated mentor as well as the wider tutorial team at Turps Art School.

Applicants must have a personal email address, access to the internet and reasonable facilities to document work digitally.

Participants will be provided with a dedicated online folder at privateviews.com that will be visible to both themselves and the tutorial team. Participants will be expected to upload works, drawings, works in progress, sketchbook pages etc. during the duration of the course. It is important this is an ongoing process that best describes their output as this will allow the mentors to track developments and compile their observations at dedicated feedback points.

The application process is now open and applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis until August 31, 2018, when the process will close until next year. Applicants can expect to hear about the success of their application within four weeks of Turps receiving it.

2017/18 mentors: Marcus Harvey, Phillip Allen, Phil King, Katrina Blannin, Geraldine Swayne, Luke Dowd, Dan Coombs, Phil King, David Leeson, Andrea Medjesi-Jones, Colin Smith, Sofia Silva, Neal Tait, Emma Talbot, Covadonga Valdes.

“Painting can be really isolating and the Turps Correspondence Course connects you with world class mentors who provide invaluable feedback on your work. It’s a great alternative, affordable model for education and the reviews are generous and motivating. I’m certainly making more work in my studio since I started it.”
Emma Roche

“I was apprehensive about doing a painting course based online but this is so cleverly structured that I have been able to build a really good working relationship with my mentor through the written work reviews. Some of my feedback has been like a laser cut to the heart of my practice, unearthing and addressing the things that have held it back. My mentor is very generous with his advice and very challenging – I read part of my feedback to some close painter friends and they said they wished they had been given that kind of critique and advice and they all asked if I would give them a copy”
Catherine Cleary

“The Correspondence Course gave me mentors who really focussed on my work and whose feedback helped me understand the choices I was making. I loved how the CC gave structure to my studio practice -  it encouraged me to take risks in my work, gave me deadlines to stick to and time between the reviews when I was left alone to figure out the answers to the questions raised by my mentors. The course also meant that I was writing regularly about my work for the reviews and that was so helpful in helping me understand my process and what I was trying to say. I took the course for three years and it helped me become a more eloquent, confident and better painter.”
Amanda Mears

Course fees: £1600

Decompression Gathering Summer Camp 2018

Practising Decompression with visiting artist Steve Lambert
Deadline 16/06/2018
Application fee 450 euro

Can the act of gathering and isolation contribute to articulating new forms of mutual learning and group working? Does experiencing communal life in isolated areas shift social relations? Can the experience of leisure and unproductive daily tasks be a generative process with critical potential? Radical Intention addresses and discusses these issues by setting up Decompression Gathering Summer Camp, a one-week residency of decompression, communal living and group work that takes place at the end of the summer, before urban life and its busyness pick up again.

Invited by Radical Intention, Visiting artist Steve Lambert will be hosting the 2018 Decompression Gathering Summer and he takes decompression seriously. The field of Artistic Activism is rife with overcommitment and hard work is undervalued. There is a high risk of bitterness and burn out, for those who don’t quit entirely. To fight this tendency, the 2018 summer camp will structure fallow time (the irony of structuring fallow time isn’t lost on us), create boundaries to free participants from a continual internet connection, and leisure, wandering, and exploration – metaphorical and otherwise. During the week the group will have the chance to discuss projects and life in a relaxed atmosphere, create new relationships that might evolve, and explore the territory of the Mugello Valley.

Participants are encouraged to gather for daily meals and will have time to share their past research. From there, they will have the opportunity to gather at their leisure, and share what they learn together at the evening meals on the days that follow. The group will investigate folk culture in the area surrounding Corniolo art platform through thematic field trips to enchanted Castles, Giotto’s residence or walking tours through the woods in search of the spring of the Arno River. These educational experiences function as a different tool, and contribute to the overall conversation around decompression while disrupting the schedule of fallow time.

Steve Lambert has worked alongside artists and activists in 15 countries on 4 continents helping them to effect power. Trained in the arts, he is known for large scale, public projects that engage new audiences on difficult topics through the social science of comedy, games, theater, and democratic participation. Lambert is the co-founder and co-director of the Center for Artistic Activism, a research and training institute to help activists be more creative and artists to be more effective. As an artist, Lambert’s work has been shown both nationally and internationally, from art galleries to protest marches to Times Square, featured in four documentary films, and over two dozen books, and collected by museums and The Library of Congress. Lambert has presented at the United Nations several times. His research is included in a United Nations report on the impact of advertising on cultural rights and the basis of a book on popular understandings of capitalism. He is Associate Professor of New Media at SUNY Purchase College.

Architecture & …
Apply for the International Summer School
Deadline: 30 June, 2017
Course Fees: 590,00 EUR or 440,00 EUR (Grants are available)

Following the resounding success of the first edition last year with participants from three continents, the International Summer School in Bernau presents the second round from August 14 to 26, 2017. Located just outside Berlin, the building complex is an outstanding example of Bauhaus architecture and serves both as the setting for the course program as well as the subject of its investigations. The Bauhaus's approach to transcending boundaries between the crafts, art, and scholarly research serves as the guiding theme. Working together with eleven well-known international artists, designers, architects, and curators, the intersections between creativity, craftsmanship, and artistic freedom are explored in one-week courses. This year focuses on the relationship between architecture and various other disciplines. The deadline to register is June 30, 2017. Grants are available for students and young professionals.

The course program takes the principle of cooperation to heart and aspires to expand on the functionality-based approach of the Bauhaus, translating and updating it for today's digital era. Perspectives, potentials, and ideas are to be be shared and exchanged in order to learn from and with each other. The aim is to discover novel applications and design possibilities in art, crafts, and society and to put these to use in your own work.

With architect and biologist Petra Gruber, solutions from nature are translated into a technical or artistic context in order to develop a new formal vocabulary for specific materials and structures based on selected research results from the field of biology. In architect and neuroscientist Isabella Pasqualini's course unit, immersive virtual media is used to gain a deeper understanding of a sense of place and space. Artist Mona Jas's course is dedicated to drawing in space. Employing the medium of drawing, a full-scale installation will be developed and implemented in five phases that incorporates the architectural designs of the surrounding neighborhood as narrative. Thibaut de Ruyter offers a course for anyone interested in exhibition development. By presenting the vocabulary and craftsmanship used by architects in their everyday practice, participants gain insight into the planning and organizing of exhibitions. In their course offering, Bill Dietz, Janina Janke, & Julie Rüter explore various directions of musical and acoustic experiments that investigate the mediating function of music in art and life. In the context of Malte Roloff & Santiago da Silva's workshop, the legacy of Swiss architect and former Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer will be examined. Participants will work collaboratively on fulfilling one of Meyer's unrealized projects, realizing it in a different medium and new form. In her two courses, art critic Jennifer Allen will question the relationship between art and architecture.

In addition to the nine, one-week courses, the Summer School is offering for the first time a daily preliminary course open to all participants, instructors, and the general public. American paper artist Eric Gjerde has developed a daily, one-hour format, based on the educational concepts of the famous Bauhaus teacher Josef Albers.

THE SCHOOL OF SOUND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

A unique series of masterclasses exploring the art of sound in film, the arts and media

Wednesday – Saturday, 19-22 April 2017
Tuke Hall
Regent's University
Inner Circle Regent's Park
London NW1 4NS

Registration is now open

What is the School of Sound?
The School of Sound is a biennial symposium created to encourage a cross-disciplinary approach to using sound in the arts and media. We explore what sound does, and how audiences listen. It is a place where you can raise your awareness of audio production, how it conveys information and emotion, how you work with it.

For four days you'll be immersed in a world of imagination, invention and innovation. Listening to presentations from a diversity of incredible talents, you will be able to disconnect from your day-to-day work, leave your comfort zone, and reflect on sound as something that is profoundly complex, entertaining and important.

Why attend the School of Sound?
The School of Sound is not an academic conference and it is not about how to get a job. It is a rare opportunity to hear and meet twenty creatives from the highest levels of the arts and media speaking in detail about how they think and work.

And the School of Sound is not about just one area of sound production. The programme covers film, theatre, dance, opera, games, installation, music and radio - expanding your thinking and increasing your ability to practice across diverse genres and forms of production.

At the School of Sound you will mix with hundreds of like-minded people - professional practitioners, educators, artists and students - with whom you can network, exchange ideas and create collaborations.

The School of Sound is delighted to announce the first details of the 2017 programme.
Speakers include

• MYCHAEL DANNA, composer known for his blending of non-Western music with orchestral and electronic music, winner of the 2012 Oscar for his score to Ang Lee’s Life of Pi
• WERNER CEE, sound art composer, musician and creator of radio art
• PIERS PLOWRIGHT, radio documentary and features producer
• SARAH TURNER, filmmaker and lecturer, director of Public House
• ADAM ROBERTS and JOANNA HOGG, filmmakers presenting the work of Chantal Akerman
• HANS PETER KUHN, composer and artist, creator of light and sound installations, and music and sound environments for theatre and dance
