ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT: THE PAVILION OF POSTCONTEMPORARY CURATING, England

the Centre of Attention is seeking proposals  - ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT: THE PAVILION OF POSTCONTEMPORARY CURATING

The skeletal remains of Sutton Scarsdale Hall continue to decay. A dilapidated wreck of a structure, you enter at your own risk. This decay needs to be resisted and Sutton Scarsdale needs to live again...

In the very heart of England, Sutton Scarsdale Hall is to become the Pavilion of Postcontemporary Curating, a new international art facility set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, dedicated solely to new curating.

The current hall is a perfect exhibition/performance space: lit from above, with high walls, neutral floor. As a functioning work of art/art centre, it should provide everything the contemporary curator requires, and be able to evolve as those needs change... Importantly it will facilitate new media production as well as old, it will have a library, archive, research facilities, studios and accommodation as well as a gallery dedicated to the history of the house.

It will be a base for new ways of looking at art and its production.
A sculpture, it will become part of the regional landscape and act as a beacon to advanced ideas and art praxis in the regional and international scenes.

With this call for entries, the Centre of Attention is seeking proposals for the re-imagining of Sutton Scarsdale Hall, Derbyshire into a pavilion of postcontemporary curating.

This call is open to architects, designers, artists, curators and others. All ideas, gestural, utopian or pragmatic are welcome.

Proposals and concepts can be submitted as drawings, images or texts, by email to on@thecentreofattention.org

Wall House Foundation, The Netherlands : ARTIST AND ARCHITECT IN RESIDENCE

Wall House Foundation, The Netherlands : International Call
ARTIST AND ARCHITECT IN RESIDENCE
Deadlines for applications are June 1 and November 1 each year

The Wall House foundation offers two periods of residence for emerging artists and architects each year: from April until June and from October until December. The residency is the Wall House itself, the iconic house designed by John Hejduk, which has its own studio space.

How to apply
If you are an emerging artist or architect with a specific interest in themes connected with designed space, particularly with the poetics of designed space, you may apply for a period of residence.

Applications need to contain at least a written proposal of what you plan to work at during the period of residence, and a complete resume (Curriculum Vitae) of yourself, including visual references of your work. This resume should contain an overview of your work, your education, publications, exhibitions, built work, et cetera. The proposal should be approximately 500 words, in English, and should deal with any form of research on the poetics of designed space (in the broadest sense of the words). The visual references can either be sent in as pdf or jpg.

The residency period lasts a maximum of 3 months. Part of the period of residence will consist of a (any) form of co-operation with other architects, artists or institutions (eg. by giving lectures, master classes or starting a joint project) in Groningen.

The residency period will be concluded with a presentation of your work. Residents will receive a monthly allowance.

Please send your application to:
