The BEAT Exhibition - Brazil + UK 

**Zuecca Projects** announces the **first open call for its Art Residency program at Squero Castello in Venice**, Italy. Selected artists will be invited to join the **Zuecca Art Residency** and to develop new artworks inspired by the dystopian Eco-totalitarian novel _Ad Bestias_ by Francesca Sarah Toich.

  
**Theme of the Art Residency:**

  
_Ad Bestias_, a novel by the Italian writer and performer Francesca Sarah Toich, is the theme of this edition of the Zuecca Art Residency. The novel is about a dystopian future in which a vegan dictatorial regime has taken control. Women are used as gestation capsules for endangered mammalian animals, as in the case of the protagonist who finds herself pregnant with a white rhino cub. The themes faced in the novel – which will be the focus of the Art Residency – are Eco-totalitarism, dystopia, metamorphosis, veganism, anatomical colonization, repopulation of endangered animal species and self-induced extinction, science fiction and weather control.

  
A few extracts (in Italian, English and French) from the novel can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1m3RyoxxKCzFZ6UucW7wL-ykhz5e7VrJ3

  
During their stay at the Zuecca Art Residency, the selected artist/s will have the opportunity to meet and interact with the author of the novel in order to develop the work. The images of the work/s produced during the residency may be included in the forthcoming editorial project dedicated to _Ad Bestias_.

The Art Residency includes: A/R travel to/from Venice, studio space for production (Squero Castello), apartment in Venice for the duration of the residency, support in Venice.

AD BESTIAS Art Residency

Artistsforplants has taken up the desire of many artists from all over the world to bring their contribution towards a more conscious awareness of the centrality of plants in life, both for Human beings and the Planet. That’s why our 2024 International Call is focused on artworks dedicated to the plants coming to the forefront: from acting as a backdrop, plants must become true protagonists in human perception.

  
The proposals will be selected by the organizers and will be presented, in form of a video gallery within the end of the year, in the premises of Otonga Foundation (Ecuador). Furthermore, the selected artworks will become part of a digital gallery, visible at our websites and social medias. The digital gallery will be a virtual sensitive and meaningful art network to create and spread attention and need for knowledge, respect and protection for the plants. 

  
The Otonga Foundation manages several protected areas in the Ecuatorian Chocó, the Andes and the Amazon of Ecuador, protecting approximately 2000 hectares. Among the protected areas is the Otonga Integral Forest. One of the Otonga Foundation main objectives is the administration of the Otonga Integral Forest, a protected area established to conserve one of the last remnants of cloud forest in the western foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes. 

EXHIBITIONS VENUES: The selected artworks will be displayed at the Otonga Foundation premises. The organizers plan to make a special event to celebrate the conclusion of the Call. 

  
SOCIAL MEDIA COPYRIGHT AND AUTHORIZATION: The selected artworks will remain property of the artists who produced them. Submitting their works, the Artists (will) accept and allow that their artworks can be published by Artistsforplants and the Otonga Foundation, in their websites and social media channels within the framework of the 2024 Call “FROM THE BACKGROUND TO THE FOREFRONT” and various related activities, and without any further authorizations. Rights to use and publish the works will be automatically transferred free of charge and in non-exclusive form. Moreover the selected artworks that will be displayed will be accompanied by full credits, specifying that they have been created in response to the Call “FROM THE BACKGROUND TO THE FOREFRONT". 

From The Background To The Forefront

We support innovative, thought-provoking investigations in architecture; architectural history, theory, and criticism; design; engineering; landscape architecture; urban planning; urban studies; visual arts; and related fields of inquiry. Our interest also extends to work being done in the fine arts, humanities, and sciences that expands the boundaries of thinking about architecture and space. In an effort to bridge communities and different fields of knowledge, we support a wide range of practitioners (such as architects, scholars, critics, writers, artists, curators, and educators) and organizations (such as non-profit galleries, colleges and universities, publishers, and museums).

  
Open discourse is essential to advance study and understanding, therefore our grantmaking focuses on the public dissemination of ideas. With our support, the work of individuals and organizations reaches new audiences, from specialized to general, and creates opportunities for critical dialogue between various publics.

  
**For individuals, our priorities are to:**

  
* Provide opportunities to create, develop, and communicate a project about architecture and the designed environment that will contribute to their creative, intellectual, and professional growth at crucial or potentially transformative stages in their careers.

  
* Support their efforts to take positions, develop new forms of expression, and engage debate.

  
* Help them communicate their work in the public realm and reach new and wider audiences.

  
* Support new voices by giving priority to first-time applicants.

  
* Overall we are most interested in opportunities which enable us to provide critical support at key points in the development of a project or career.

  
The Graham Foundation offers two types of grants to individuals: Production and Presentation Grants and Research and Development Grants.
  
  

The Graham Foundation offers two types of grants to individuals: Production and Presentation Grants and Research and Development Grants.

  
**Production and Presentation Grants:** 

* These grants assist individuals with the production-related expenses that are necessary to take a project from conceptualization to realization and public presentation. These projects include, but are not limited to, publications, exhibitions, installations, films, and new media projects. Projects must have clearly defined goals, work plans, budgets, and production and dissemination plans.

  
* Grant amount: Production and Presentation Grants to individuals do not exceed $20,000 and are likely to be less.

  
**Research and Development Grants:**

* Though the majority of our grantmaking focuses on Production and Presentation Grants, we recognize that projects may require support at early stages of formation. Research and Development Grants assist individuals with seed money for research-related expenses such as travel, documentation, materials, supplies, and other development costs. Projects must have clearly defined goals, work plans, and budgets.

  
* Grant amount: Research and Development Grants do not exceed $10,000 and are likely to be less.

Graham Foundation Grants to Individuals

A new exhibition phase is around the corner and Ausstellungsraum Klingental invites artists, curators and collectives to apply with their projects.

  
We are looking for participatory, process-oriented, intergenerational, transdisciplinary, research-based or experimental ideas. Or something completely different. Possible are exhibitions, performances and musical formats and concepts with different durations such as longer exhibitions, events, series of events and festivals.

  
The Ausstellungsraum Klingental is located on the ground floor of the Klingental Church on the Kasernenareal and is barrier-free. It consists of two (spatially separated) exhibition spaces and a spacious foyer. Projects can be planed for one exhibition space or for both exhibition spaces.

  
We offer space for the realization of experimental projects, daring ideas and concrete exhibition concepts. Our program operates at the interface between regional and international contemporary art and is made up of projects from the (annual) Open Call and its own initiatives. Each season we realize around 6 larger and 4 smaller projects, as well as various events. Projects should have a relevant connection to the local art-making - be it through the participants‘ place of residence, the subject matter or an external view onto the region.

  
We (the board of the Verein Ausstellungsraum Klingental) decide on the selection of projects and support the selected projects and their participants on a voluntary basis in the realization of their ideas.

The association Ausstellungsraum Klingental provides the project participants with the premises, infrastructure, public relations and supervision of the exhibition. Depending on the scope of the project, it also contributes a maximum of CHF 5,000 towards the project costs and the artists‘ fees.

Color, Canvas & Creativity | Color Art Competition | $3500

Building artistic and creative collaborations across geographical distances and cultural contexts is a complex endeavour. By connecting perspectives from the local to the global they not only contribute to a variety of creative expressions but also foster nuanced approaches to global urgencies that can catalyse wider social change. 

  
However, cultural relations are increasingly affected by the uncertainties of the world. Lack of established support structures, unequal access to resources and short-term funding practices pose additional challenges for practitioners. Establishing agile and flexible collaborative formats that are anchored in specific local contexts presents a way forward, but new efforts are needed to support their development and ability to adapt to new realities in the long-term. 

  
With Globus, the Nordic Culture Fund has in recent years developed a more trust-based and open-ended approach to funding transnational collaborations. Globus FORWARD is the latest edition of the initiative, building upon the experiences and insights gained from the earlier phases of Globus. 

  
Through the programme we wish to further explore a new approach to funding that can be embedded into the Nordic Culture Fund’s practice beyond the Globus initiative. The work is therefore supported by continued knowledge development that can also provide inspiration for other funders and the wider field of arts & culture. 

**Budget** 

The maximum amount that can be granted is DKK 500,000\. There is no requirement for co-financing of the Globus FORWARD grant, but the grant period should in general aim for stronger economic independence and sustainability after the grant period. 

  
It is mandatory to attach a budget showing the overall costs and expected income of the initiative. You are welcome to make use of the Fund’s template to create an informative budget. 

  
**Work period** 

The maximum grant period is two calendar years following the year in which the grant was provided. The grant period is the period during which the activities funded by the Nordic Culture Fund are planned to take place.
