Re-Directing: East
One month residency at the artists-in-residence laboratory, CCA Ujazdowski
Castle Warsaw in June 2014
Open call for art professionals
PLEASE NOTE A SHORT DEADLINE - ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED UNTIL
MARCH 15TH
The Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle and the City of Warsaw
invite art professionals: curators, organisers, researchers and managers to
apply for one-month long residencies in frames of Artists-In-Residence
Laboratory programme at the CCA Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw. The A-I-R
Laboratory has been organizing an international residency programme at the
Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw since 2002.
Initiated in 2013 "Re-Directing: East" consists of the series of artistic
and curatorial residencies and it postulates the experimental and working
approach to geopolitical aspects, their performative investigation. The
notion of "Re-Directing" refers here to a need to facilitate collaborations
with art initiatives from regions with which the A-I-R Laboratory hasn't
had an opportunity to collaborate so far. What we are looking for is an
opportunity to cooperate and discuss the specific narratives dealt with by
culture creators in the regions characterised by the recent fundamental
system transformations and political instability, on the one hand, and the
regional artists' readiness to experiment with the forms of art education
and practice, on the other. Starting in Warsaw, which due to its historical
experience and geographic location, is an ideal place for such a meeting we
envision Re-Directing: East as a roaming academy, a platform enabling
non-obvious micro-scale and research-based meetings and dialogues.
About the Artists-In-Residence Laboratory
The A-I-R Laboratory has been organising an international residency
programme at the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw
since 2002. We consider Warsaw to be an inspiring environment for
international artists to develop their ideas while using the residency as a
tool for creation and critical reflection. These residencies for artists
and other art-related professionals provide an opportunity to develop
projects in close dialogue with a curator, and are organised with respect
to artistic work reaching beyond the art market or exhibition commissions.
At present, the A-I-R Laboratory can host up to seven artists at one time
in studios located within the CCA and in the adjacent Laboratory building,
which was opened in 2010.
