It's disappointing that you only accept applicants from the UK. I'm from the U.S. and I have a lot of personal thoughts and, I think, a unique approach to collecting digital art. How to store it. How a piece of digital art can become regarded as collectible and rare. How the transfer of ownership of a piece of digital art should be handled, etc.
Good to see people are experimenting, though. :-) On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 3:33 AM, Taylor Nuttall <[email protected]>wrote: > Apologies for cross posting. > > Current: An Experiment in Collecting Digital Art > > An exhibition, acquisition and debate, presented in partnership by the > Harris Museum & Art Gallery and folly. http://current-experiment.org.uk/ > > > > Artist Call: Now open for submissions > > Deadline: 17th December > > £1000 exhibition fee to short-listed artists; £10,000 acquisition fee for > final selection. > > > > The Project: > > > > Artists working in digital media are invited to propose work for a public > display at, and acquisition by the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston, > as part of 'Current: an Experiment in Collecting Digital Art'. > > > > This project not only celebrates innovative and creative use of new media > technology, but forms a pioneering practical case study for the collection > and integration of digital artworks into existing permanent collections; > furthering the Harris' mission to establish a nationally significant > collection of new media art. > > > > An expert advisory panel will select 3 – 5 artists to exhibit at the Harris > from 25th March – 4th June 2011, from which one artwork will be selected > by a secondary expert panel for acquisition into the Harris' permanent > collection. > > > > A public debate will be held in Spring 2011 to analyse the experiment and > share findings and best practice on collecting digital art. > > > > About Us: > > > > The Harris is a magnificent Neo-classical Grade I listed building which > opened to the public in 1893 inPreston city centre, and houses the largest > galleries in Lancashire - including stunning contemporary gallery spaces. > The museum holds strong collections of fine and decorative art and local > history, including work by Lucien Freud, JMW Turner and video artist Robert > Cahen. > > > > folly is a leading digital arts agency, based in Lancaster and working > across England’s North West. folly aims to lead, promote, maintain, > improve and advance the field of cultural activities that embrace the > creative interaction between arts and technology, by presenting an artistic > programme that provides collaboration between artists and the wider public. > > > > Requirements: > > > > Applicants must: > > > > • Demonstrate innovative use of new media technology (e.g. > digital art, interactive art, net art, electronic art, multi and time-based > media) in the making, display or distribution of their work. > > • Be able to articulate how their work might be presented in a > gallery environment > > • Submit recent work, i.e. produced up to 2 years previous to the > submissions deadline. > > • Currently reside in the UK > > • Have previous experience in distributing work publicly (online, > in museums, galleries, etc) > > • Hold the copyright for the submitted work > > • If selected, be available for scheduled project dates: > > > > Gallery visits from: 17th January > > Installation dates: between 10th-24th March > > Exhibition opening and selected acquisition announcement: 25th > March > > > > Fees: > > > > • Short-listed artists will each receive an exhibition fee of > £1000 > > • Final artwork will be acquired for an acquisition fee of > £10,000 > > > > For further information and free registration for submission, visit > http://current-experiment.org.uk/ > > > > Follow the project on twitter @current2011 > > > > > > *Lindsay Taylor* > > Exhibitions Officer > > > > Harris Museum and Art Gallery > > Market Square > > Preston > > PR1 2PP > > > > T: 01772 9054 <callto:+1772%209054>04 > > F: 01772 8867 <callto:+1772%208867>64 > > E: [email protected] > > W: www.harrismuseum.org.uk > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour >
