Groundwork South West, Dartington, UK
Deadline : February 16, 200
University College Falmouth incorporating Dartington College of Arts Groundwork South West.
We are offering a residency to an artist to work within the context of a college of arts which is in transition and to engage with aspects of sustainability – ecologically, financially and socio-politically.
Although the merged colleges' history, location and legacy, the process of its relocation and the physical and metaphorical space between Dartington and Falmouth are to inform the project, the artist may respond to the brief in any way, and should maintain an integrity to their own practice. They should not regard the brief as requiring a literal or instrumentally defined outcome.
Artists can be from any arts discipline and should be engaged with an exploratory or experimental practice.
The residency is to include a form of public access appropriate to the practice of the artist and the aims and objectives of the project. This could include talks, presentations, workshops, exhibitions or performances. These would be at UCF/Dartington and could also be for specific groups such as schools, arts organisations etc.
