» Decathlon - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
In 2012 Talking Birds will be 20 years old. Perhaps less widely known, 2012 is also London's Olympic year, and so to celebrate both those things, we are embarking on a year long project called Decathlon - ten artworks, each inspired by the decathlon's ten sporting disciplines.
Some of the ten artworks require the input from other artists, and so we will be issuing a series of calls for contributions over the next few months. Click here for the first two: 100m and High Jump.
» FarGo Space - WANTED Makers of Memories
Artists/Producers/Events Organisers/etc who can make interesting and productive use of a free empty space (approx 8m x 5m) in Coventry for a month - and, just before their month is up, invite the public in and make something amazing happen there. We’re looking for people/groups who can create something original and wonderful (and perhaps even a bit beautiful) that will make people want to come and experience the Space Programme for themselves. Something that will contribute to building up an understanding and expectation in the wider Coventry unconscious that FarGo is a place where cool things happen.
Slots in January & February 2012. [Apologies for the short notice - only just got the lease extension!] The Space Programme is curated by Talking Birds and has been running since July 2010. You can find details of projects so far by clicking here.
Successful applicants will be awarded £100 at the start of their residency.If you are interested in taking part, please send an email of up to 600 words to janet[at]talkingbirds[dot]co[dot]uk detailing: *who you are; *what you would do with your month in the Empty Space Module; *what your event might look like; *whether you could go on site at the drop of a hat (January 1st) or need a longer lead in (February 1st); *links to any online images/info about your past work
Deadline for expressions of interest: December 23rd 2011
