The Audio Foundation is excited to announce that we are now accepting proposals
for our newly established Audio Foundation Artist Residency program! The
residency runs for a three week period in Feb 2014. all proposals are welcome
and will be considered. We encourage all artists with a sound related practice
(emerging to established) to consider applying for this residency – the closing
date for proposals is 15th November 2013.
The Audio Foundation Artist Residency program will provide NZ artists with the
exciting opportunity to make work in a context free of traditional day-to-day
pressures, to focus on their work for a sustained three-week period. The goal
of this residency is to produce outcomes in the form of adventurous and well
realised new work presented to the public.
The Audio Foundation artist residency is a trial program in Feb 2014
• It is open to all NZ artists who have a sound-related practice.
• The residency provides access to a spacious studio/performance space and PA
facilities based in the Audio Foundation (Auckland NZ).
• The artist in residence will work towards an artist-determined outcome to be
presented at (and/or in association with) the Audio Foundation and will be
encouraged to engage with the local community during the residency period. This
may take the form of workshops/presentations/discussion
• The residency is only open to individual artists.
• Airfares, a per diem and a contribution to accommodation will be available to
the recipient
The Audio Foundation Artist Residency aims to facilitate the research and
development of significant sound-related work – to develop individual art
practices and foster professional and artistic opportunities for the
participants. Specific goals and expected outcomes for the residency will be
determined with the artist on a case-by-case basis, for example: performances,
exhibitions and/or recordings. The project would be consistent with the Audio
Foundation's aim to assist NZ sound (and related) artists in creating new work
that can be presented to the community in a professional context. For
established artists, work towards a larger project outcome will be considered.
This residency is open to candidates from all of NZ / Aotearoa.
The artist participating in the residency program will be provided with
spacious studio space and full PA facilities in the heart of Auckland's CBD, in
an arts centre dedicated to the promotion and critical discussion of their
works. The Audio Foundation would encourage the artist to engage with the local
community during this period in activities such as workshops, sound walks
and/or panel discussions. The residency and its outcomes will be promoted by
the Audio Foundation.
While the AF will be providing studio / performance space for the
artist-in-residence, it will be necessary for the artist to organise their own
accommodation during the residency period. The Audio Foundation will lend all
assistance possible in finding accommodation for non-Auckland artists.
Please note that we can only pay for travel within NZ.
Proposals will be accepted for consideration up until November the 15th, 2013.
The recipient will be selected via peer-review administered by the Audio
Foundation.
