Call for Applications: Thematic Residencies, Banff Artist in Residence, and Work Study Programs

The Decapitated Museum

Faculty: Vincent Normand

Guests: Etienne Chambaud, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster

Program dates: November 13, 2012 - December 7, 2012

Application deadline: Extended to June 29, 2012

Speaking for real: this isn't a history painting, it's a book of stories. A book being written with stories like the ones you get told when you're getting your head chopped off—before going up there, or coming back from the show. Stories like they tell in museums.

This residency is addressed to participants willing to engage in speculative inquiry on the matter of exhibition, whether they work as artists, curators, or writers. The moment of exhibition will act as a figure towards which converge diverse spaces of authority (the studio, the exhibition space, criticism). The residency will thus be structured in as many points of enunciation, with individual studio and research time, public talks, and collective discussions enhanced by screenings and reading sessions.

Wood Land School – What colour is the present?

Faculty: Duane Linklater

Guest: Brian Jungen

Program dates: January 7, 2013 - February 22, 2013

Application deadline: June 29, 2012

We should meet in the mountains to investigate: What colour is the present?

On a weekly basis, the Wood Land School will convene to share work, performance, poetry, dance, video, mix-tapes, songs, drink, and food to determine what colour is the present. Our determinations will be guided by our languages, where we come from, our city lives, our rural lives (or in between). We will get together to see what becomes of this.

Please note: Enrolment to this program is limited to individuals of Aboriginal descent (status, non-status, Métis or Inuit).

Our Literal Speed: Stuff Near Art That Is Not Art, Which Is Treated As If It Were Art, Is Now The Substance of Most Serious Art

Program dates: January 7, 2013 - February 22, 2013

Application deadline: June 29, 2012

Faculty: Abbey Shaine Dubin

Guests: Theaster Gates, Christopher P. Heuer, Matthew Jesse Jackson

Much of the visual art of the twenty-first century vivifies the formerly neutral, decorative surfaces that have surrounded the discussion, production, and display of artworks: the gallery opening, the white cube, the PowerPoint lecture, the auction house. And over the last decade a renewed sense of art's expressive possibility has flourished as more stuff began to be treated as if it were art. A cloud of evaluative anxiety accompanies this new art. Perhaps we have so much information today that only its deficit can bring about a truly arresting art experience. Or maybe we can put it this way: if the twentieth century was defined by the Readymade, then perhaps the twenty-first century belongs to the Nevermade.

Our Literal Speed is open to all practices, scholarly and artistic, that engage the question, "Why is contemporary art contemporary?"

Communiqué

Become a Heritage Canada Foundation Facebook fan for an exclusive preview of 2012 Endangered Places List

Ottawa, ON June 22, 2012 – The Heritage Canada Foundation (HCF) will be announcing its Top Ten Endangered Places next week, on Wednesday, June 27. An exclusive preview will be given to HCF’s Facebook fans one day early. Just like the Heritage Canada Foundation on Facebook, then watch for a sneak peak on Tuesday, June 26.

The Endangered Places list is released annually to bring national attention to some of the many sites across Canada at risk due to neglect, lack of funding, inappropriate development and weak legislation. It has become a powerful tool in the fight to make landmarks, not landfill.

HCF uses three primary criteria to determine the 10 final sites for inclusion on the list:

• Significance of the site
• Urgency of the threat
• Community support for its preservation

Stay tuned!

The Heritage Canada Foundation is a national registered charity dedicated to the preservation of Canada’s historic places. Your support is vital to our work. Please join or make a tax-deductible donation today.

Eye Flower Productions "Rubbish" Fringe Tour

Help recycle Rubbish and send an interPLAY sensation on the road. 

That’s right the Rubbish Boys are loading up their garbage truck and heading out to West Vancouver for a two week workshop at the Kay Meek Centre. With an improved show the boys will then hop onto the back of a seagull and fly to Winnipeg to perform their masterpiece at the Winnipeg International Fringe Festival. Next, they’re kicking the can to Saskatoon for the Saskatoon Fringe and before they expire it’s onto Edmonton for the Edmonton International Fringe, the largest fringe festival in North America. 

However the boys can’t do this without your help. Unfortunately Fort McMurray’s favourite performers are poorer than hobos and need your sponsorship to afford the travel costs, venue fees and if you got some extra change they would love a sandwich or two. 

Our goal is to raise $10,000 but any donation big or small will be greatly appreciated. Let’s show Western Canada that Fort McMurray’s got talent and help send a team of gifted artists on a tour of a lifetime! 

To donate contact Michael Beamish at (780) 972-5701.
