Exhibition Opportunities

Exhibition Opportunities.
Chashama
All of chashama's visual art exhibit spaces are on the ground floor of a building, or are easily accessible from the street. Most of them were former retail stores, some have large street facing windows. chashama transforms these vacant spaces into temporary exhibit spaces; each one is unique in its layout and overall aesthetic. If you are planning a site-specific installation, it is recommended that you make a site visit before submitting an application. Applications will be reviewed three times a year for the spaces we currently have available. A few traditional exhibits will be selected "in reserve" should another space become available before the next application review period.
Though not a necessity, we recommend artists work with a curator to prepare their exhibits.

Brooklyn gallery open call

Diapason, a Brooklyn-based gallery
for sound art, is initiating an open call for the following:
1. Residencies
Composers, sound artists, and other qualified individuals are invited to submit proposals for working residencies utilizing Diapason's multi-channel sound environment. Diapason has two state-of-the-art multi channel sound systems (described below). Interested persons are invited to submit proposals for the use of the space to create work. Dates and times are flexible. Residents will receive a brief technical orientation but no technical assistance, unless the artist provides supplementary funding.
2. Curatorial
Emerging curators are invited to submit proposals for sound art presentations at Diapason. Any format is acceptable, from single artist retrospectives to group shows. Diapason is uniquely well-suited for presentation of computer based multi-channel sound work.
Curators are responsible for all aspects of the presentation, including finding personnel to assist with setting up and tearing down the show. They are also required to fundraise for their projects, though Diapason will provide limited advice and support and its status as a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation. Diapason will publicize events through our website and mailing list.
3. Programming
Interested persons are invited to submit proposals for single performances, screenings, installations, etc. Diapason offers its space and sound systems, plus limited technical assistance. It is the responsibility of the organizer to organize funding, collect door fees, etc., and to maintain the space. Diapason will publicize events through our website and mailing list.
This open call covers the time period September 1 2009 to July 31 2010.
Description of the space
Diapason consists of two rooms: the “gallery” contains a powerful 8 channel sound system with a subwoofer and is designed for focused listening. The floor is carpeted and there are pillows available as well as some seating (cushioned benches, folding chairs).
The “lounge” contains a 12 channel sound system (without subwoofer), as well as a 4 channel PA system and a Steinway Model “O” grand piano. It is set up in an informal way, with benches, chairs, carpets, etc. ranged around the space.
The multi-channel sound systems are connected to MOTU 896 (gallery) and 828 (lounge) audio interfaces. Resident artists are expected to bring a laptop with the necessary drivers.
There are two Shure SM-57 microphones, Mackie 1604 and 1202 mixers, a couple of small Behringer mixers and a stereo direct box. There are plenty of XLR cables.
There are 2 sets of track lights in each room. The number and position of the individual lights can be adjusted.
It is possible to use the walls for displaying objects, but this must be approved by the gallery.
Please submit initial inquiries to...

Other trips to local spots of interest or to the performance spaces are also supported by the organization. Art disciplines: Photography; sound installation; vocal performance; sound poetry; acoustic, electro-acoustic or electronic improvisation / composition. Twelve art projects will be selected for development in residency. All nationalities are welcome to apply.

Exploratorium Residency in San Francisco

The Exploratorium is a museum of science, art, and human perception. Scientists, educators, exhibit developers, and artists - in residency and staff positions engage in an interdisciplinary approach to both the investigative process and the production of work, which leads to new thoughts, tools, and things. It is a museum filled with interactive science and art exhibits, a national center for teacher development, and host to an award-winning Web site of new teaching resources. Fundamentally, it is a laboratory for the research and development of cultural and scientific innovation, discovery, and play.
Given the resources and strengths of the Exploratorium, artists should be interested in interdisciplinary dialogue, open to new and engaging modes of information gathering, and curious regarding potential collaboration. Local, national, and international artists are welcome to apply. Local residents receive open access to facilities, a budget for materials and food, and a monthly stipend. Typically, local artists are in residence anywhere from one month to one year. We are more interested in subsidizing a long-term relationship than a short-term product. National and international artists receive travel and lodging coverage in addition to materials, food and stipend. Stipends range from $1000-5000. National and international artists are in residence anywhere from one week to one month. Partners and children are allowed. If accepted, the program houses artists in nearby hotels, cabins or private houses. Residents make their own meals but groceries are provided (artists can turn in receipts for up to $50 per day.) Collaborators may apply as a team. Proposals are open all year. Questions about opportunities for artists should be directed to Pamela Winfrey (415) 561-0309 (pamw@exploratorium.edu), or Jordan Stein (415) 353-0405 (jstein@exploratorium.edu). Work Tel: 415-563-7337, Fax: 415-561-0370, email: pamw@exploratorium.edu. For more information, go to the website: www.exploratorium.edu/about/air.html.
