The Canon Foundation Research Fellowships

The Canon Foundation Research Fellowships
Deadline: September, 15, 2010

Canon Foundation in Europe THE CANON FOUNDATION RESEARCH FELOWSHIPS awards research fellowships to young European and Japanese highly qualified researchers in any discipline www.canonfoundation.org/programmes Annually, the Canon Foundation in Europe grants up to 15 Fellowships to highly qualified European and Japanese researchers. European nationals should have permanent citizenship in the country.

The candidates hold a doctorate or at least a Master’s degree. They are eligible during the ten-year period following the successful completion of their PhD or MA degree. Extensions to the ten-year rule are possible in principle in case of exceptional circumstances which should be explained in the application and supporting documents are required. The European Fellowship holders pursue a period of research in Japan whereas the Japanese Fellows do their research at host institutions in Europe. The Fellowships are awarded for periods of minimum three months and maximum one year. The Fellowships are awarded regardless of discipline and existing employment positions.
Canon Fellows from Europe are free to choose their host institutes and hosts in Japan. The same freedom is given to Japanese Canon Fellows coming to Europe. Canon Foundation Research Fellowships may be applied for when an agreement on co-operation and on a research plan has been reached between the guest researcher and the proposed host institution.

Applications can also be submitted by members of commercial, industrial, governmental or professional organisations.

It is strongly recommended that the candidates obtain the current issue of the application form from this website or at the Secretariat of the Foundation, in Amstelveen - the Netherlands.

Application procedure for Fellowships
The annual deadline for applications is September 15. Consideration of the applications takes several months. The Selection Committee's final decisions are convened to the applicants before end December of that year. Therefore, the earliest possible date to begin the Fellowship is January 1 of the following year.

Applications should be submitted in full (including the acceptance by the proposed host institute and the research plan) to the Secretariat of the Canon Foundation in Europe well in advance of the deadline.

It is important to note that no correspondence is entered into by the Foundation in regard to decisions taken on any individual application and in view of the large number of applicants, no negative inference should be drawn from the failure of a candidate to secure a Fellowship.

The financial support for Research Fellows ranges from 22,500 Euro to 27,500 Euro per year and pro-rata for different periods. The Canon Foundation gives priority to those who plan to travel to Europe or Japan rather than prolong a current stay.

Ethnographic Terminalia

Ethnographic Terminalia
When / Where: November 7th to December 4th, 2010, Du Mois Gallery, New Orleans
Deadline for proposals: 20 Sept 2010

 

Contact: Craig Campbell (craig.campbell@mail.utexas.edu)

 

www.ethnographicterminalia.org

 

Ethnographic Terminalia (2010) is scheduled to coincide with the 109th Meeting of the American
Anthropological Association (AAA) in New Orleans. It will take place at a number of sites around
New Orleans with the flagship exhibition at the DuMois Gallery, in the emerging Freret Street Arts
& Cultural District. We seek proposals from artists/ethnographers/artist-ethnographers for
inclusion of their work in this year’s exhibit.

The works exhibited in Ethnographic Terminalia emerge through a desire to produce art as a process or
product of research. As we demonstrated in the Ethnographic Terminalia 2009 exhibition, the
juxtaposition of works that bear nothing more in common than loose disciplinary or discursive
histories—languages of observation and description—produces what might be analogously seen as a
contemporary cabinet of curiosities. The works exist and generate their own logical structures as
autonomous units but they are also part of a larger collection, accruing and developing meaning
through proximity to other works. In this case the curatorial task of locating the various works in
the gallery is critical.

 

Call for Participation

We seek proposals for both solo and collaborative works that can be installed with a relatively small
footprint. Works can be in any medium: site-specific installation, painting, photography,
printmaking, sculpture, video art, film (short or long), etc. We may be able to accommodate
performance-based works this year in a separate gallery. We will consider proposals for works that
are either silent or that have an audio component contained by headphones. To date, Ethnographic
Terminalia 2010 will feature the works of Susan Hiller, Robert Willm, and Fiamma Montezemulo,
along with works by several local artists that will be featured in their own room at the DuMois
Gallery. With greater support from the American Anthropological Association, opening-night
sponsorship from Stella Artois, and more advance time to promote the event, Ethnographic Terminalia
2010 will be another unique opportunity to exhibit your work. The deadline for proposals is September 20, 2010.

 

Please email the following information as an
attached word document to Craig Campbell (craig.campbell@mail.utexas.edu):
• Name
• Contact details
• CV
• Short Biography
• Abstract/Summary of your work (along with a title of your project)
• Medium
• Dimensions (when installed)
• Installation requirements

 

Installation and Scheduling
Please note that we require works to arrive in New Orleans between the 1st and 5th of November
2010 to coordinate installation. If you are unable to work with these dates please indicate this on your proposal.
The DuMois has four rooms and a yard space exclusively available for our use. It offers
approximately 800 square feet of exhibition space with ten-foot ceilings throughout. We have access
to a number of other gallery spaces as well. These may be more amenable to your proposed
installation, so please give us an ideal scenario for your work. In your proposal please specify installation
requirements and the general floor and wall space required for your work. Again, we stress that gallery space is limited and we endeavor to share this experience with as many participants as possible.

Ethnographic Terminalia (New Orleans 2010) will run from November 7th to December 4th, 2010.
The Opening Reception will take place on Friday 19 November 2010 (subject to change).
We are also planning to host a critique for the exhibitors. This will be a closed event, allowing us
the freedom to engage in meaningful conversation with other exhibitors. This is scheduled for
Saturday 20 or Sunday 21, November 2010 at 5pm (subject to change).

For more information please contact Craig Campbell or visit www.ethnographicterminalia.org
