Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Migros Culture Percentage - HOPE, Switzerland

Call for proposals 2011
Deadline: 18 October 2010

The Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Migros Culture Percentage are looking for artistic projects that are dealing with hope.

At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century hope seems to occupy centre stage on the political and cultural scene. Though a lot of the time no more than a rhetoric strategy to get people in line on issues like ecological doom, global confusion or political terror, a contemporary understanding of hope might prove to be a useful strategy in  constructing a different perspective on our social and artistic attitudes.

Hope in this age is no longer projected upon a distant utopia, a far-away future. We no longer believe in the big ideologies, since we seem to have been sucked up head-over-heels by the all-encompassing musings of capitalism. Instead of dreaming about a bloody revolution, hope situates itself today in the eternal now: in every situation, relation, ethical set-up you commit to.

In other words: hope is about rethinking space and relations, about daring to allow change to happen, however small, in whatever kind of way. A hopeful gesture is one that alters the situation: between me and you, between me and my environment, and in that moment changes both of us.

The Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Migros Culture Percentage are looking for projects that could set hope in motion, in the form of experimental set-ups, performance work, challenging practices or wildcard invitations to the city and its inhabitants.

Hope as invention; as movement; as change; as choreography; as daydream; as potential; as revolution; as hospitality; as action; … 

The call is open to artists and practitioners from other fields, to Fribourg residents and people from other places, to individuals or groups.  

Selected proposals will be realised as a part of the Belluard Festival 2011. 

Projects must be sent by October 18th 2010.

13.0 International VIDA Awards, Fundación Telefónica, Spain

FUNDACIÓN TELEFÓNICA ANNOUNCES VIDA 13.0 AWARDS
Deadline: November 7th, 2010

VIDA 13.0 competition
www.fundacion.telefonica.com/vida

Fundación Telefónica is calling for submissions to the international VIDA awards. This is the thirteenth iteration of this competition that awards artworks created with artificial life technologies and associated disciplines, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, chaotic algorithms, computer viruses, bio-technology, virtual environments and sound sculpture. Since the competition was first held 842 artists from 30 countries have participated and more than 115 projects have won awards.

As in previous years, the contest consists in two categories: Finished Projects and Production Incentives. The closing date for project submissions is November 7th.

The Finished Projects category is for artworks produced since September 2008 with artificial life technologies. There is a total of 40,000 euros in awards for the three projects selected by the jury (18,000 euros for first prize; 14,000 euros for second prize and 8,000 euros for third prize). In addition, there will be seven honourable mentions for outstanding projects chosen by the jury from among the finalists. 

The Production Incentives category is designed to help fund yet-to-be-produced artistic projects related to artificial life. It is for creators who have nationality or residence in Spain, Portugal or any Ibero-American country. This category is worth 40,000 euros, which will be distributed among the selected proposals.

The award-winning projects will be shown at the VIDA gallery of the Fundación Telefónica website (http://www.fundacion.telefonica.com/) and they may be presented in subsequent exhibitions organized or supported by the foundation.

The projects presented will be assessed by an international jury consisting of José Carlos Mariátegui (Peru), Mónica Bello Bugallo (Spain), Nell Tenhaaf (Canada), Rodrigo Alonso (Argentina), Simon Penny ( U.S.A./Australia), Zhan Ga (China) and Francisco Serrano (Director of Fundación Telefónica).

One of the new features of this year's awards is the incorporation of Monica Bello Bugallo as Artistic Director of the International VIDA Programme to substitute for Daniel Canogar. A holder of a degree in History of Art and Cultural Research, since 2008 she has been in charge of educational programmes at LABoral Centro de Arte in Gijón. Her main area of interest is the crossroads between art, science and technology, and she has been especially devoted to art and biology.
