The Leipzig International Art Programme (LIA) is an international artist in residency programme located at the Spinnerei Leipzig (www.spinnerei.de), a former cotton mill and now cultural hub. LIA focuses on being a place for experiment and learning within a strong local artist community and a city rich of traditions. Local and international artists have an impact on each other while exchanging cultural experiences they are shifting the gaze. The founder of LIA, Anna-Louise Rolland, states, “at LIA, we believe that moving outside of our comfort zone leads to new perspectives opening up. International visual artists working together with professional musicians, public space and institutions like museums fits perfectly into this philosophy and this type of collaboration leads to new approaches being developed and new kinds of artistic exchanges taking place”.

**SHIFTING the way we MAKE space**

10 days - September 2023

30 participants

  
Every year we create an informal learning experience for a diverse group of youth exploring different aspects of territorial innovation. The third edition to be held in September 2023 will explore emerging building processes. 

  
Since the industrial revolution, our cities have been expanding exponentially. In 2018 alone, 4.2 % of European land cover was lost to construction: that’s an average of one basketball court per resident.

  
In light of the imminent dangers that this poses to the planet, the European Commission has declared a "zero net artificialization" policy for 2050\. This means that new development projects will be limited to available built-up areas. This will be a radical shift from the expansionist urbanisation of the last century. Failing to meet this objective will accelerate the current climate crisis and also make us less resilient to the change it will bring about.

  
We need to shift the way we make space by using what is readily available.

  
This is not an easy task. The production of space involves many actors from different sectors with varying expertise, imperatives and visions of the future. During 10 days, we will try to deconstruct hardwired common-practices to investigate more sustainable, emergent life cycles for our buildings, from design to build, maintenance and deconstruction. 

  
Participants will receive lectures and site visits by inspiring designers and leaders from across Europe. They will explore ideas and get hands-on experience in making scale 1 interventions with local partners. Together, we will discover new approaches to the production and construction of space. We will occupy different building sites across the territory and test methods in constructing, maintaining and deconstructing the spaces that surround us. 

Not only is the experience free, but all participants will receive financial aid in their travel expenses from their country of residency to Kortrijk. Housing and food are included, as well as a bike rental for the week. See the experience page for more information.

Living Makeshifts

The current ecological and migration crises, the post-pandemic situation and new forms of virtual coexistence, growing cities and new urban planning solutions, which change our daily trajectories or restrict natural human movement altogether – all this sets the context for the growing artistic and scholarly interest in walking and its meaning in our lives, communities and societies.

The title of the symposium refers to the eponymous song “Walking is still honest” by the punk rock band “Against me!”. Laura Jane Grace, its lead singer, has said in an interview that she wrote the song when she was 18 years old, terrified of what was happening in the world, and that the only thing that seemed real and honest to her at the time was the simple act of walking. In this symposium, we invite you to remember this insight and try to convey the sincerity of real or imaginary walking through a variety of practices, methods, actions, groups, communities, stories, etc. of being and walking together. Perhaps this may be a key to different, universal forms of being together that are resistant to time, identity, generations, virtuality, urban and other problems?

Organized by the Vilnius Academy of Arts, the cultural centre SODAS 2123 and the Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association (LTMKS), the symposium aims to bring the insights of some of the most important contemporary historians and theoreticians of psychogeography and walking of the last few decades into dynamic practices of contemporary art and culture – about and through walking. “Walking is still honest\*: about being and moving together“ aims to bring together practitioners and researchers in order to create a dynamic space and an opportunity to be together, or to be in a community. Using artistic and research tools we will explore, open up, justify and consolidate insights into walking as a method of creation, thinking, being together, education and place research. We will also discuss, when walking is a pleasure, vocation or mission, when it is a necessity or even a compulsion; how

contemporary urban policies encourage, limit, suppress, or commodify walking; how walking and its meaning have changed historically; what neurotechnological tools tell us about the physiology and psychology of walking today.

The symposium is open to artists, urban planners, art historians, cultural historians, philosophers, historians, sociologists, neuroscientists and other researchers who are interested in the act of walking, its various forms and cultural meanings, and the history, present and future of walking.

We call for contributions on (but not limited to) the following topics:

– Forms of walking/walking together in contemporary art, cinema, theatre, dance, music, etc.

– Walking together as a philosophical concept and way of thinking.

– Walking in the urban landscape.

– Walking as a way of building community.

– The politics and economics of walking.

– Walking as a vocation, a way of life, a necessity, a protest: nomads, pilgrims, migrants and other walkers.

– The physiology and psychology of walking: effects on the body, brain, well-being, etc.

**Location**: SODAS 2123, Vilnius Academy of Arts and various locations in the city, Vilnius, Lithuania.

**Dates & Deadlines**: Symposium **Oct 5–7th**, **2023** onsite in Vilnius.

Call for Contributions **deadline June 15th, 2023**, notification of acceptance no later than June 30th.

  

Participation as well as coffee/energy breaks are for free. Selected participants will be issued a letter of acceptance which you can use for fundraising.

**Publication**

Selected texts and documentations will be published in a peer-reviewed volume (forthcoming 2024).

Sommercampus Residency (Germany)

RCA and Tate are delighted to offer the following Arts and Humanities Research Council fully-funded PhD studentship: ‘Idea Transformer: a History of Curatorial Innovation at Tate Modern’.

The successful candidate will be expected begin the studentship on 1 October 2023 on either a full-time or part-time basis and will be required to spend time at both RCA and Tate Modern, gaining access to resources and services across the two institutions. They will be part of a wider cohort of CDP funded students across the UK.

  
This PhD studentship will investigate Tate Modern’s curatorial models and their histories. We invite proposals that interrogate notions of transhistoricity, transnationality and transmediality through and beyond the evolution of Tate Modern’s collection displays.

Applicants should identify a particular focus, approach and/or range of areas of curatorial practice to be researched. These may include, but are not limited to, the ways in which displays have related and responded to shifting acquisition strategies and to the wider programmes of exhibitions, commissions, learning activities etc., the critical responses they have elicited over the years, connected strategies of knowledge dissemination through interpretation and research initiatives, and how they compare to those of other Tate sites or similar collecting institutions.

We are open to developing the research project with the candidate, with an understanding that a ‘complete’ history of Tate Modern would be beyond the scope of a single doctorate, and welcome focused proposals that seek to address current issues facing curatorial practice through the analysis of an area of the Tate Modern’s dense and layered history.

The project will be co-supervised by **Dr Ben Cranfield** (Senior Tutor, Curating Contemporary Art MA) and **Valentina Ravaglia** (Curator, Displays and International Art, Tate Modern).

This doctoral training grant is funded through the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) scheme, which offers doctoral studentships as part of a collaboration between a Higher Education Institution and an organisation in the museums, libraries, archives and heritage sector. The studentship is fully funded for 45 months (3.75 years) or part-time equivalent, with the possibility of being extended for an additional 3 months to cover professional development opportunities.

Through the doctoral grant held by the RCA, tuition fees will be paid up to the value of the full-time home UKRI rate for PhD degrees – Research Councils UK Indicative Fee Level for 2023/24 is **£4,596**. Both home and international students will receive a maintenance stipend at the standard UKRI London rate of at least **£20,218** which includes the following annual provisions: £17,668 stipend (stipend rates for 2023/24 are being finalised by UKRI), £2,000 London weighting and a £550 CDA maintenance payment. In addition, Tate will cover agreed research-related expenses of up to £1,000 per year (or £500 for part-time students) incurred by the student.

a. Purpose and Goals

Presented as a pilot program by the Fort Wayne Public Art Commission, SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! will empower neighborhoods to develop and activate their unique identities through public art. The program creates opportunities for inclusion, engagement, education, and dialogue between neighborhood residents through a deeply participatory program. Neighborhood association leaders and residents will be invited to express their identity and story with public art, first through temporary installations produced by residents with guidance from the Artist; and second with a permanent piece commissioned by the neighborhood and Public Art Commission. The temporary and permanent installations represent two distinct phases of the SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! program.

  
**Phase 1:** Neighborhood Engagement & Temporary Art Installations - Neighborhood residents engage in a series of temporary public art activities to discover and develop their unique identity. Activities are hosted collaboratively by the neighborhood association, the Artist / Neighborhood Art Consultant, and a representative from the SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! Steering Committee.

  
**Phase 2:** Public Art Installation - The neighborhood association and SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! Steering Committee commission permanent public art that reflects and activates the neighborhood’s unique identity.

  
Additional goals for SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! include:

* Enhance the visual environment of public spaces for residents and visitors;
* Align neighborhood residents around a common purpose and commitment to public art;
* Promote distinctive and diverse artwork that communicates the neighborhood’s sense of spirit, identity, and pride; and
* Commemorate the City’s collective memory and history.

  
b. Opportunity for Artists

This Request for Proposals is limited to work in Phase 1 of the SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! pilot program. The emphasis for Phase 1 is on neighborhood engagement and temporary art installations rather than artistic skill. It is more important that the selected Artist has demonstrated experience working productively with diverse groups of people in the ideation, creation, and installation stages of projects. Community engagement is the objective for the entire process rather than being limited to idea input at the beginning. The selected Artist will work with individual neighborhood association leaders to select a set of engagement activities that align with resident interests and aspirations for temporary art installations.

  
It is important that the Artist provides options and is flexible in organizing activities that will engage neighborhood residents in the production of temporary art installations. The selected Artist can anticipate working with participating neighborhoods in the following ways.

  
* Co-host a workshop with participating neighborhood association leaders.
* Regular communication with individual neighborhood association leaders.
* A minimum of three full neighborhood engagement events for each participating neighborhood.

  
The participating neighborhoods are working to improve their organizational capacity and impact. They may be emerging from a period of inactive dormancy, reorganizing with a fresh slate of leadership, or becoming active for the first time. The SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! program is intended to deliver a series of activities that will provide productive organizing energy for residents to become involved with the creative process and installations of the temporary art created in Phase 1 of the program.

  
c. Timeline

SHOUT-OUT: Fort Wayne! Pilot Program: August 2023 – December, 2025

Artist Consultant Responsibilities: August 2023 – August 2024

* August 2023 – Neighborhood block parties (in person)
* September - October, 2023 – Workshop (date to be determined)
* January - March 2024 – Neighborhood engagement activities planning
* April - August 2024 – Neighborhood engagement activities / temporary art installations

  

$10,000 will be the compensation to the artist for developing the community engagement program in coordination with the neighborhood association leaders. Proposals may include an additional $5,000 per neighborhood for engagement activities and temporary art installations.
