International Sound Artist UK Residency Opportunity. Call out to: artist led spaces, arts groups, residency centers and individuals
Modulate (http://www.modulate.org.uk) are inviting expressions of interest from an international sound artist, (i.e. non UK based), for a residency to take place in Birmingham England in 2007, as part of the Arts Council of England's International Artists Fellowships Programme. A fee of £1000 per month, an equipped studio space, travel, and accommodation will be provided, plus some technical support if required. The residency would take place over a three month period. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- We are looking for a musician / sound / av artist who: - Will connect with modulate in a way that makes the residency creatively stimulating for both the artist and host. - Will be open to an exchange of skills and ideas, for instance by taking part in our monthly sonic culture salons, where regional artists and musicians meet up to show, play or talk about their work. - May have an interest in current technologies & software's - Would enjoy working within a warehouse environment - Would be a pleasant guest to invite into our space. - Would be able to make best use of the space and equipment already there. This includes a Macintosh computer, stereo and 5.1 surround sound amplifiers, various selections of speakers, and video projector (s). As well as the basement studio space, available through out the residency, the larger warehouse space above could also be made available for part of the period. This would be ideal for setting up / trying out larger scale ideas after preparation in the studio. We are likely to favor artists with an intuitive approach to their work. We would welcome applications from persons who may be part of a collective, group or network, or be linked to an artists led or residential space, so that there might be the possibility for a reciprocal opportunity to develop in the future. There is the possibility for the residency to involve more than one person, for artists working together or as part of a collective, but over a slightly shorter time period, or taking turns, as the budget would remain the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- More about the International Artists Fellowships Programme: The AIF programme gives artist led workspaces in England the opportunity to develop partnerships/exchanges with international networks, arts research institutions and specialist arts residency centers abroad, while enabling artists to engage with their peers in different cultural settings. The emphasis of the fellowship is on the artists' process of research, and as such no specific artistic outcome (event, show, product etc.) is required. Rather, it is an opportunity for the artists to explore ideas outside the constraints of a production schedule. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- Description of Host Modulate are an artist collective working with multi speaker sound environments, sound and visuals, and abstract electronic music. We also produce occasional events involving regional and international musicians, programmers, and visual artists. Since 2005 Modulate have become involved in developing a small warehouse space in Birmingham, as a sustainable artist led sound space, a laboratory environment where work is produced, exhibited and performed, and where ideas are developed and exchanged. Visit our website to get more of an idea of what we are about, address above. Location: Birmingham is situated in central England, and so is a good location from which to travel to other parts of the UK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- What to send us: At this stage please email us an expression of interest that includes: - A brief biog / cv - The type of project you may like to develop as part of the residency The deadline for final submissions is December 21st 2006 Please contact us as early as possible with expressions of interest / any further questions.
