Monson Arts’ residency program supports emerging and established artists and writers by providing them time and space to devote to their creative practices. During each of our 2-week and 4-week programs throughout the year, a cohort of 5 artists and 5 writers are invited to immerse themselves in small town life at the edge of Maine’s North Woods and focus intensely on their work within a creative and inspiring environment. They receive a private studio, private bedroom in shared housing, all meals, and $1,000 stipend ($500 for 2-week programs). New for 2022, the Abbott Watts Residency for Photography offers access to the photography studio and darkroom of Todd Watts in nearby Blanchard, adjacent to the former home of Berenice Abbott. Click here to read more about this unique opportunity specifically for photographers.

Applications for a residency at Monson Arts is open to anyone at any stage of their career, working in visual arts, writing, and related fields (i.e. audio, video, photography). Open calls for residency applications currently take place 3 times throughout the year with deadlines on January 15, June 15, and September 15. Each application period corresponds to specific residency offerings 3-6 months out.

Residents’ studios are located in newly renovated Main Street buildings that have been designed specifically for visual artists and writers. All of our studio spaces are outfitted to be as flexible as possible so that we can accommodate a variety of creative practices. Our visual arts studios are spacious and light-filled with large work tables and sinks. Shelving and portable storage carts are available as needed. Access is available to woodshop and metal shop facilities in nearby buildings for any fabrication needs. Our writing studios are comfortably furnished with work tables, office chairs, bookshelves, and reading chairs.

Residents live in newly renovated historic homes throughout town, within walking distance to studios and everything that downtown Monson has to offer. These are mostly 3 bedroom structures that are fully furnished and comfortable all four seasons of the year. Houses all have shared kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas with laundry machines, telephone, and other amenities as well. Wifi is available in all of our buildings through high speed fiberoptic service.

Associação Cultural Videobrasil and Sesc São Paulo invite artists and/or collectives who are from the Global South, from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP), or who have lived in these regions for at least five years, as well as indigenous artists of any nationalities to participate in the open call for the 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil.

The event comes to its 22nd edition in 2023, entitled ‘Memory is an Editing Station’ – a phrase taken from a poem by Waly Salomão (1943–2003). Curated by Raphael Fonseca, from Brazil, and Renée Akitelek Mboya, from Kenya, the Biennial also celebrates the fortieth anniversary of Videobrasil, initially devoted to video, and which has expanded over the decades to encompass a broad range of artistic languages. In this celebration, ‘it is, therefore, necessary not only to reflect on time and the many conceptions of memory, but also to revisit the importance of video in these four decades,’ write the curators. It is also worth remembering that in contemporaneity the possibilities for image editing were transformed, and have become more agile and within reach of our fingers in a range of technological devices we use every day.

Far beyond these particular ‘editing stations’, the 22nd Biennial seeks works that address collective memories, acts of remembrance and forgetfulness that build historical and social narratives, related to peoples, nations and geographies. What are the ethical boundaries of a cut? Who holds the power to do so? How to forge the memory of what we didn’t see or feel in our bodies? What are the limits of memory?

New Voices is a pilot program providing approximately six to eight emerging artists with a focused group exhibition at Print Center New York’s new, ground-floor space at 535 West 24th Street in Chelsea in the summer of 2023. This exhibition will provide a compelling critical exploration of the artists’ work, and will be accompanied by a publication and artist-led public programming expanding on the season’s themes.

The resurgence of analog photography is one of the most interesting and fantastic obsessions in the photo community today. Analog photography refers to the chemical process used to capture an image. Film photography has thrived throughout the years, even as digital photography made it’s first appearance in 1975. We aim to celebrate the craft and tradition of film and alternative process photography with this exhibition. From film, hard plates, polaroids, cyanotypes, and more we are excited to see your analog photography! This exhibition will be printed on a professional inkjet printer, so digital files are a requirement for entry.

I am a new media sound performing artist born and based in Slovenia and will be on artist residency in London from 12th to 29th of September 2022.
I will be developing my new interactive art performance, part of the series 
Ictuscordis dedicated to exploring the intersections of art, technology, sound bio data and various applications of biofeedback. 

The human heart in the series goes far beyond the metaphor field of performing with a heart. It is an actual, living, physical, musical and visual instrument. 

Please see the link for the videos and a better understanding of the series.
www.ictuscordis.org

The whole process required several years and gradual steps due to complexity; at first I created an audiovisual performance with my own heart (modulatio 2018), then a duet with a dancer (dialogue2019) and later with the individual heartbeats of guests (variatio 2020). In March 2021, Kamizdat record label released an album titled "Memoriae", which was the fourth part of the series. The album contains a set of live recordings as a summary of past manifestations of the project. 
I have toured with the series at numerous venues and festivals in Slovenia, Budapest, Klagenfurt, Paris and London.

This year I am working on a new interactive performance titled Synchronicity which is as a new upgrade to the series and is based on the collective heartbeat for the first time. At the residency I would like to work with ''volunteers'' whose hearts I would  simultaneously connect. I would like to work with two people simultaneously and try to synchronise their heartbeats with manipulation of the biofeedback. 
As an upgrade to the previous projects, I am also planing to use EEG sensors to dynamically depict the relationship between the heartbeat (physical) and brain (psychological) activity.

So I am searching for interested ''volunteers'' who would contribute their hearts and time to project development. 

I am looking for reflections about the performance experience, through which I better understand the effect and influence on the physical and psychological body of the visitor subjected to the experience.
Also if you are interested in the area and think you could also contribute to the project in any other way, you are more than welcome to send me a message.

What comes to mind when you see the word JUSTICE? Does JUSTICE conjure images of throngs of people marching for civil rights or youth holding signs at a climate change rally? Perhaps you think of issues surrounding systemic racism, data privacy, urban design, labor, food deserts, or how public goods are dispersed.

What happens when we focus on notions of JUSTICE that address the policies that govern our communities, the products that shape our lives, and even the health of the planet? JUSTICE can be personal, political, and often in a state of change with respect to history, newly evolving digital spaces, or different stages of life. Thus, as our global society evolves, our ideas of JUSTICE often need to be reevaluated, updated, and discussed.

In 2022-2023, Science Gallery Atlanta will open the JUSTICE exhibition season with a 9,000-square-foot exhibition at the historic Pullman Rail Yards, accompanied by a suite of public programs -- all informed by a global community of creatives and thought leaders in collaboration with artists, researchers, and youth from the Atlanta region, plus area research universities and organizations. JUSTICE will examine the relationships between individuals and the systems that impact their lives, the intersection of those systems more broadly, and the agency of individuals to influence those institutions.

Topics for development and partnership include (but are not limited to):

social justice and civil rights
race, gender, LGBTQ+ equality and rights
criminal and procedural justice
environmental and climate justice
algorithmic and data justice
epistemic equity
disability and accessibility justice
immigration justice
child and human rights
food justice
transportation justice
health access and healthcare inequities
labor movements
design and the built environment
economic policy and wage disparities

For researchers: Science Gallery Atlanta welcomes your ideas and proposals on the theme of JUSTICE, inclusive of a wide range of scholarship and research. You are not required to have an artist connected to your submission. If your submission is selected, we can work with you to foster a collaboration.

For artists: Science Gallery Atlanta welcomes your ideas and proposals on the theme of JUSTICE, inclusive of all artistic mediums. You are not required to have a scientist or researcher connected to your submission. If your submission is selected, we can work with you to foster a collaboration.

About Science Gallery Atlanta: Through multidisciplinary collaborations between visual, performance, and media arts and fields ranging from public health, biology, theology, physics, sociology, economics and beyond, Science Gallery Atlanta at Emory University seeks to explore universal themes that impact our communities right here in Atlanta and, through our work, inform global discourse.
