Laura Ashley Residency: Artist Residency in the UK

Deadline: 30 September 2010
Applications are now invited for the Laura Ashley Residency Award.  The successful artist will be based for a period of 3 months between May - July 2011 at the Creative Arts Units at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, part of Aberystwyth University.

The residency is open to UK visual artists in all disciplines including applied arts.  The aim of the residency is to allow an artist ‘time out’ to develop their work as they wish while also including 12 days of education work with people in the locality. The basic idea of this education work should be proposed by the artist with their application, and the details of the project will be planned and organised by Arts Centre staff with the artist, before their arrival.

The successful artist will receive studio space of c. 35 square metres, accommodation, living expenses for the duration of their residency and extra payment per day of education work.
Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s Artists’ Residencies are based in the award-winning Creative Arts Units designed by Thomas Heatherwick.  The residencies offer the chance for the artist to step away from the everyday constraints of life and experience time in which to develop individual artistic practice, and also to exchange ideas in a creative atmosphere with people from other disciplines. The Laura Ashley Residency also offers the opportunity to plan and carry out an educational project within the area. We do expect the successful artist to have some experience of education work, but they will also receive support and guidance from the experienced Visual Arts Education team.

How To Apply:
The deadline for applications for this residency which will take place from the start of May until the end of July 2011 is 30 September 2010. Applications can arrive at any point up until this date; early applications are encouraged.

Applicants should fill in the Residency application form and send it to the address listed on the form, together with the visual and printed material and references as requested.
If further copies of the form are required, by post or by email, please email etr@aber.ac.uk
Or call 01970 622887/ 621634

Art Below / Art Barter Collaboration in Berlin Art Below have just launched their latest public art campaign in the German capital of Berlin, this time in collaboration with the unique and revolutionary group Art Barter. Revolutionary, resourceful and truly avant-garde in spirit, Art Barter and Art Below have, in each other, found their perfect playmate. Art Barter boasts a fresh, engaging approach to the sometime elitist art world, proving that Art can be a resource that money cannot buy. On 24th June we kicked off with Art Barter’s exclusive Alexanderplatz launch party followed by Art Below’s 2 week long exhibition on 10 public pillars displaying Berlin’s hottest established and emerging artists, including Jonathan Monk, Jason Dodge and Uwe Henneken. Co-inciding beautifully with Berlin’s 6th Biennale for Contemporary Art, this summer promises to only further establish the city’s reputation as a creative melting pot. For further info about Art Barter see www.artbarter.co.uk Art Below / Hospital Club 'Open Kimono' competition winner announced.  Elosie Fornieles is the latest winner of the Art Below / Hospital Club Collaboration baed on the theme of 'Open Kimono'. v. phr. to expose or reveal secrets or proprietary information.  Eloise Fornieles is an Anglo-Argentine artist represented by Paradise Row gallery. After a BA in Fine Art at Kingston University, Fornieles graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2006 with an MFA in Fine Art Media. Her work engages with human interaction, intimacy and the relationship between beauty and violence, using photography and video as an extension of her work in performance and installation.

One of the most original and influential artists of his generation, Graham has constructed a complex and articulate practice which operates through systems of quotation, reference, adaptation and inscription from other works or authors. Here the artist draws from sources as diverse as structural film, Mallarmé's poetry, British zombie movies, and 19th century French military painting to create a kaleidoscopic exhibition combining works in photography, film and painting.

Double Act Repeated is a collaborative project comprised of four films, an opening-night performance and a series of new works created specifically for the exhibition. As artists Monk and Gordon share an interest in exploring the creative act as an intuitive process rooted in the history of Conceptual Art. As friends they share a passion for found images, football, word-play and the belief that the best ideas are generated around the dining table. About the artists: Jonathan Monk (1969, Leicester) and Douglas Gordon (1966, Glasgow) met for the first time in 1990 when both were studying fine art in Glasgow. There first meeting either took place at back-stage at a Miles Davis concert or while watching England lose to Germany on penalties. The films formed the basis of an exhibition at the Fondazione Morra Greco in Naples in 2009 and are presented in London for the first time.
