The School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts at Texas A&M University and the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley announce a call for work for Aberrant Creativity, a juried, international art exhibition.

Donna Harraway, in her “Cyborg Manifesto” (1985) wrote: “The machine is not an it to be animated, worshiped and dominated. The machine is us, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment. We can be responsible for machines; they do not dominate or threaten us. We are responsible for boundaries; we are they.”

With this exhibition, we want to create a space to explore the boundaries between our machines and ourselves; an opportunity for artists to challenge AI, to seduce AI into creative partnership, or lead it astray into play and joy. We hope to encourage responsible artistic experiments in embodiment and subversion, invention and hacking, community and connection between the human and the machine, and to exhibit these endeavors as opportunities to enter a strange new world.

Alongside the physical exhibition, there will be a virtual twin hosted online. The virtual exhibition will be live one week after the physical exhibition has opened. The link will be made public and shared at the time of the installation.

Experience a residency in the Swedish winter season! Nordingrå Konstby’s artist residency is open to all artists, of any discipline. The residency is self-funded and self-directed.
Our accommodation is comfortable, set in the beautiful surroundings of Nordingrå, known for its long tradition and history of art. The residence is situated in the heart of a dynamic and growing art community. When staying at our residence you are allocated your own accommodation and work studio.

During the winter months there are fewer hours of sunlight, the air is crisp, and the sky is bright blue, contrasting the white snow. At certain colder periods, the lakes freeze over, allowing for a walk or ice skating on ice. A stay in the winter months provides a unique opportunity to explore the darkness, different sounds and changes in nature. Our residency provides you with the unique opportunity to focus on your art, whilst taking inspiration from the breathtaking scenery of the renowned High Coast of Sweden. Our art village is an active work place for artists and artists’ organisations.

Duration of residency
The duration of our residency programme is two or four weeks.

The Umbrella Arts Center is pleased to accept submissions for the juried exhibition Fresh Ink: Contemporary Explorations in Printmaking.

Variations and combinations of woodcuts, linocuts, lithographs, aquatint, screenprinting, monoprints, etching, collagraphs, engraving, etc. will be considered. Juried by Carolyn Muskat

Spend an artist residency period in the Swedish autumn. After the peak season of summer, the autumn months provide a quieter, serene environment as the weather slowly cools and nature’s colours gradually transform to tones of yellow, orange and red. In Nordingrå Konstby, this allows for you to work in a tranquil and transformative environment, whilst still finding local artists in our premises active at work and available for interaction.

Whitecube Contemporary, a new urban contemporary art gallery in Chicago, invites regional and national artists to submit original works of art for our first annual national art exhibition - "RED."

Passion, courage, love.

Anxiety, war, anger.

Defiance, aggression, power.

This is RED.

If your piece is singularly RED, features dominant RED elements, or simply prominently features RED in a contemporary way, we want to see it.

Exceptional artist / researcher resident / guest community, or solitude if you please, in a bold vast space that invites for musing, far away from heavy civilization and buzzing crowds, and still within easy reach, in an unconquerable castle, a landscape straight out of a fairy-tale, in one of the world’s best climates by common consensus.

In order to be able to slow down life, we believe it is worth breaking our routines from time to time – this is why artist-in-residencies have spread as a way of enhancing creativity through (re)settling our minds. Our idea was that the notion of the AIR could be expanded by not having artists exclusively at the specific location, but enabling them to mix with academic researchers. We believe heterogeneity always helps, thus, the more people could broaden their comprehensions of their worlds, the better for humankind!

Duration of residency
The duration of this residency program is minimum two weeks.
