Working for CIC

The Contemporary Image Collective (CIC) is an independent non-profit arts initiative founded in Cairo, in 2004, by a group of visual artists and professional photographers, and has become one of the leading spaces for contemporary art in the region.

CIC’s mission evolves from an interest in the multifarious modes of image production and consumption, contemporary and historical, arising from within and without art practices. CIC has a special interest in the photographic image at large. Over the years, CIC has sought to engage a wide range of local and international cultural producers, in an attempt to augment local artistic production and discourse.

CIC’s interest in exploring, questioning and responding to local artistic needs and concerns qualifies its interest and engagement in international art production and discourse. CIC aims to develop contexts of criticality, support, reflection and excitement for these practices, across long-term programming as well as ad-hoc activities. These aims are explored through a broad and flexible programme of exhibitions and public projects, courses in photography, workshops, and events.

This is an exciting time to be working with CIC. We are about to move to a brand new location in central Downtown Cairo, housing offices, studios, classroom/library, darkroom, and exhibition space. In addition, a new website is being launched. The successful candidate will be a key part of an energetic team working towards this new and ambitious phase of the organisation.

Prolific Impressions: Printmaking Now Exhibition, climate/gallery, NYC

Prolific Impressions: International Exhibition, climate/gallery, NYC
Deadline April 26, 2010

Exhibition May 8 - 23, 2010

The Printmaker is a most peculiar being… delights in deferred gratification and in doing what does not come naturally. He [she] takes pleasure in working backward or in opposites: the gesture that produces a line of force moving to the right prints to the left, and vice versa; a deeply engraved trench in a copper or zinc plate prints as a depression in the paper. Left is right. Right is left. Backward is forward. The Printmaker… must see at least two sides to every question. Jules Heller

EACH ARTIST MAY SUBMIT 2 PIECES PER ENTRY FOR THE EXHIBITION • No piece larger than 14 x 16 inches, or 35 x 40cm will be accepted. The gallery’s definition of printmaking is broad. However, for this exhibition, digital printmaking will not be accepted. We prefer that the works in this exhibition show evidence of the artist’s production process in all terms. Highly experimental work will be especially welcome, however, traditional methods of achieving multiple images, will most certainly be welcome, as well.

10 Featured Artist Awards selected by Kelly Driscoll, Associate Professor of Fine Arts, Pratt Institute. Ms. Driscoll is the Coordinator of Printmaking at Pratt and is the Coordinator of the Graduate Fine Arts Program in Rome, Italy. Full Catalogue. http://www.pratt.edu/academics/art_design/art_ug/fine_arts/faculty_and_staff/bio/?id=kdriscol
 
National and international artists may submit artwork for this exhibition. Full information can be found on the gallery's website. http://www.climategallery.com/
 
The gallery is dedicated to the presentation of contemporary visual art in thematic monthly group shows providing opportunities for artists to exhibit their work within a context of current international practice from varied ethnic and cultural contexts. All viewpoints and mediums are welcome. The gallery's mission is to provide an opportunity for artists to become exhibiting members in the arts community of New York City, whether they are showing for the first time or have years of exhibition experience.
The gallery is located in the historic Scalamandre Silks Building in Long Island City, one of New York City's most vibrant arts neighborhoods. With magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline, the building houses art galleries, performing arts spaces, and studios. Nearby are a number of museums including PS1, the Fisher Landau Center for Art, and the Sculpture Center.
