Curatorial Residents 2013-14

Call for candidates
http://221a.ca/call-2013-14/

221A is an artist-run centre located in Vancouver, Canada with a mandate
to support the advancement of contemporary art that explores design as a
subject. Projects presented at 221A address design in its widest sense,
which may encompass graphics, products, architecture, or, more broadly,
social codes and conventions.

221A is seeking proposals from curators for projects to commence in 2014.
Implemented in 2010 the Curatorial Residencies program encourages a
diversity of curatorial approaches to the organization’s mandate. Emerging
and professional curators, curatorial collectives, which may include
recent graduates and practicing artists, designers and architects, are
encouraged to submit proposals to be developed over the course of one
year. Projects may include exhibitions, performances, publications, talks
or workshops. Proposals should discuss a viewpoint, theory or approach
that the project hopes to foster in relation to the organization’s
mandate.

Selected candidates will be expected to work with the Executive Director
to research, plan and execute the project. In addition, selected curators
are required to participate in the Curatorial Committee, starting mid 2013
for a minimum one-year term (meeting every 2 months) to offer feedback to
other curatorial residents and the program. The committee offers a space
for reflection on the wider program at 221A and a relationship between
curatorial residents, staff and community. International participants will
be expected to attend meetings through online voice/video chat.

Proposal Guidelines
Applicants must submit a digital proposal (to bchhay at 221a.ca) including:
• a one to two-page project proposal, describing the curatorial project;
• a current CV of each of the key contributors (maximum 3 pages each);
• related images/texts as required (pdf or jpegs, max. 15 images, or up to
10 min. of audio or video). For large format images or videos that cannot
be transmitted by email please include instructions for access.

Proposals are intended to provide the overall intention and background of
the project. Applicants proposing self-curated projects must describe the
reasoning behind this approach. Further research and development of the
project is expected upon selection.

Selections Process
Project proposals are shortlisted by a committee comprised of members of
the Board of Directors and the Executive Director. The Executive Director
makes final selections of 5 proposals to make up the 2014 programming
year. Selected applicants will be contacted in March 2013. Please note
that only applicants under consideration will be contacted.

Funding
221A is a non-profit organization funded through a mixture of
self-generated income, private donations and public funding. All projects
are funded through the organization’s operating budget at $4,000. This
budget may increase through the success of project-based grants—with
average projects ranging up to $25,000. All projects must pay fees to
artists and curators at the minimum CARFAC rates or higher.
