OPEN CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS OF VARIOUS DISCIPLIES
AND RESEARCHERS TO TAKE PART IN RESIDENCIES

*A three month long residency between 15.03–15.06.2012*
The artists-in-residence programme laboratory at the Centre for
Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw announces an Open Call for
international artists and researchers working in the fields of visual and
performing arts as well as design and architecture to take part in a
residency in 2012.

Artists would be invited to work on research held in the frames of Studio
Warszawa (Studio Warsaw), a platform for conducting artistic research
projects on the basis of an international residency and study programme.
Studio Warszawa is based on a collaboration between various cultural
organisations in Warsaw and involves the mutual use and exchange of
resources. The programme features a regular series of seminars with the
participation of A-I-R’s residents and organised by A-I-R in conjunction
with the Institute of Polish Culture.

We would like selected artists to respond to a proposed topic:
IMAGES AS ENDANGERED SPECIES
“Images are more real than anyone could have supposed. And just because
they are an unlimited resource, one that cannot be exhausted by consumerist
waste, there is all the more reason to apply the conservationist remedy. If
there can be a better way for the real world to include the one of images,
it will require an ecology not of real things, but of images as well.” (On
Photography, Susan Sontag)

Selected artists are asked to join and enrich research on the relations
between people and images in the times of a proliferation of
self-representation demands from a variety of groups in public spaces. A
popular diagnosis regarding “image overproduction” engages images in an
ecological discourse. Taking up this language, we want to ask questions
about the possibility of engaging in practices of image recycling, ethical
stances of image production and dissemination; the symbiosis of people and
images; efforts of determining the "healthy" number of images in an urban
environment; as well as endangered kinds of images (exemplified by the fear
of the passing away of analogue photography).

The choice will be made based on the quality of portfolios presenting past
projects and a motivation letter, including the artist statement. The
description of the proposed project to be realized in Warsaw is not
obligatory and will not influence the results of the call.

About the Artists-In-Residence Laboratory*
The A-I-R Laboratory program has been organising residencies for
international artists at CCA Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw since 2003. In
parallel, it seeks to promote Polish artists internationally by
facilitating their participation in creative residencies hosted by the
laboratory’s partner programs throughout the world. At present the A-I-R
Laboratory can host up to seven artists at one time in studios placed in
the CCA and the adjacent Laboratory building opened in 2010.
Resident artists receive an opportunity to present their projects to a
public at the CCA as lectures, projections, public discussions, exhibitions
and performances. The laboratory also strives to encourage visiting artists
to realise their work in the public spaces of Warsaw or in one of the A-I-R
Laboratory’s numerous independent partner galleries.

*About the Institute of Polish Culture at University of Warsaw *
The Institute of Polish Culture at the University of Warsaw (IKP) is a
leading academic centre in Poland in the field of study of culture. An
anthropological approach constitutes the theoretical foundation for both
the research programme and the curriculum with courses covering
anthropology of culture, anthropology of the word, anthropology of
performance, and – most of all, in the perspective of residency
programme –
anthropology of film and visual culture. Courses are based on an inquiry
into the nature and the historical uses of the basic media of culture:
word, performance, image, as well as their technical actualisations:
spectacle, different genres of literature, film, photography, mobile and
digital media and so forth.

*About the Bęc Zmiana Foundation*
The Bęc Zmiana Foundation is a non-profit organization. We support the
development and advancement of contemporary art and culture. We carry out
projects of artists/architects/designers/interdisciplinary minds who are
receptive to change, open-minded and imaginative.
We do art projects, exhibitions, design competitions, publish books,
magazines, guides and maps. We run a very small space where we turn theory
into practice – this multifunctional place is a gallery space, a bookshop,
a cultural information for locals and foreigners, and more – we can shape
its function according to our current needs.
We also strive for facilitating encounters between artists and the
audience, filling the gap that exists between the artwork and its public.
That is why creating common ground where these two can easily meet is
essential for us. We try to achieve it by inventing actions that push the
artwork out into the streets and public spaces, make it accessible for all
social groups. Since we are based in Warsaw, we also try to emphasize the
city’s peculiarity in many of our projects.
Bęc Zmiana creates a path for an undisturbed flow of energy, ideas and
thoughts. We do not interpret art - we tunnel it.
